A New Beginning for Us.

It's been two years since I left Portland because I fell in love with one of my students I know that I shouldn't have let a relationship ever start but the more I learned about her the more I fell in love, so after the camping trip I told her I wanted to be with her we were together for five months.

After what I heard at her court hearing I couldn't look at my self I started hating my self I was twenty-three years old having a serious relationship with a sixteen year old, so after the Christmas break I finally told a fellow teacher about the relationship he told me to tell her parents.

After I told them about us they got real mad her dad said he would call the police but instead he told me to leave Portland and don't come back until she was eighteen, so I left without a word to her I quit my job and moved back to Minnesota.

It was hard not to talk to her everyday, some-days i wanted to risk everything just to see her again but I knew I couldn't do that to her so I would tell my self she moved on, I went on dates with other girls.

but I never had a serious relationship with anyone, finally after ten months she turned seventeen so now I only had a year left until I could see her.

1 year later

Lux's birthday was in three days i was going to spend the weekend in Portland, on Wednesday I got in my truck and took off to Portland, the whole trip i kept thinking what if she moved on and never wanted to see me again.

I had told her that I wouldn't leave her and I did just that what if she hated me, I almost turned around and went back home but something was pulling be back to Portland to the girl who has my heart.

It was Friday morning when I got to Portland I turned the radio to Morning Madness it was Cate and Ryan I wonder if they where still together.

I got a hotel for the weekend, I decided to just drive around by the time I looked at the clock it was 2:43 school lets out at 3:00.

I was standing outside of my truck with I saw Lux blonde hair under her knit caps "Eric?" she walked up to me "what are you doing here?"

"I came to see the birthday girl happy birthday Eeyore!" she smiled at me "thank you Minnesota" she looked around "what are you doing now?" she smiled at me "nothing yet."

"Can I drive you home?" she nodded he head and we got in my truck she gave me directions to her house, "Cate and Baze got back together!" I smiled at her "that's good I know you always wanted your family to be together," I pulled up to the house "would you like to see the house?" I nodded my head.

We walked into the house there was an office to the right and to the left of us was the living room, kitchen and dining room, we went upstairs Cate and Baze's room was to the right, the restroom was in front of me and to the left was Lux's room and someone else room.

As I got closer I saw a sign "Eric and Michael's room" lux who is Eric? other then me?" she looked down "we need to talk!" I started to panic "about what?"
