Chapter 14
"Hi Julie," Julie's mom said as Julie walked in the door from school. Julie looked over at her, but then looked away as she hung her bag up in the closet. "How was your day?" she asked. Julie went up the stairs, ignoring her again. Emily looked over at her mom and shook her head. Julie's mom did the same.
Julie hurried up to her room and locked the door before anyone could get in. She went over to the window and opened it up. She looked down. She had gotten used to sneaking out of windows by now. Just when she was about to go out of the window, she heard someone knock at the door.
"Julie," her mom said. Julie continued to ignore her and climb down to the ground. Luckily, it worked. Julie's mom just continued to stand there and just talk about how she couldn't get her way with the silent treatment. Julie reached the ground and took off to the mansion.
Despite her situation, Julie was happy as ever to get away from her mom and her house and go see Edward. She walked up the huge hill to the mansion, through the garden and went into the door. She walked up the steps and went into Edward's room. He was inside sitting there with his head hanging down. Julie walked in and sat down next to him.
"What's the matter?" she asked lifting his head up. He looked at her with sad eyes. "I don't want you to move," he said. She sighed. She hated herself for hurting him like this. "I don't want to move." She said. She put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder. He carefully put his arms around her. "I love you," she said. The words echoed in his head.
Julie didn't want to move at all. She heard her mother's voice in her ears, telling her how they were moving. She hated the fact or thought of leaving him. Her mom was splitting them apart. She sat there with him, and drifted slowly off to sleep.
Julie woke up slowly. She realized where she was and quickly shot up. She looked outside the windows. It was dark. She looked at her watch. It was almost 7:00. Her mom had dinner on usually at 7. "Edward." She said looking over at him. "I have to go." She kissed him on the cheek and quickly ran out of the door.
She reached her house, out of breath. How was she going to get back into her room? The same way she got down? It was going to be hard, but she had to. She started climbing up to her window, slowly. She heard her mom yelling for her from outside the window. "Julie, dinner's ready," she said. Julie tried to hurry up the wall, and almost slipped. She was about to fall, but was so close. She reached up to the window and grabbed onto it before she fell. She pulled her self up to the window and fell into the room. She sat against the wall, tired and out of breath. This was going to be harder to do every night than she thought.
The next night, Julie did the same thing. She came home and went right to her room. She heard her mom knocking, but this time was interested in what she had to say. "Julie," her mom said. "Julie, I know you don't want to move. I wish things could be different, too. But I was only thinking of how happy this would make you." Julie stopped climbing half way out of the window. "I know how hard you've had it lately. You always wanted to go to a good art school. There's one where your father lives. It'd be closer, and you could start all over. I know you think I'm being selfish, but I was hoping you'd see how much this could help you. Well, I hope you don't hate me for long. I just want you to know; I love you and only want what's best for you."
Julie smiled as she heard this. She knew her mom cared for her and knew she loved her. All she needed was a reminder. She knew moving wouldn't be easy, but it had to happen. She just had to accept it.
"Edward," Julie said walking up to Edward. He gave her a small smile as she sat down next to him in the small fire place bed. "I know it's going to be hard…but I have to move. I still have two days..." she said placing an arm around his shoulder. "I can still visit, too. I promise I'll visit." "I'll miss you," he said. Julie hugged him close to her. "Me, too." She said as tears filled her eyes. "You promise to visit?" he asked. Julie nodded and hugged him. "I promise,"
