A Heartbeat Can Change Everything

Chapter 7: To Stay or To Go

A few hours later, after talking to Jamie, Val walked back into her house, "Mom, I'm sorry for walking out."

"Val, Don't. It's ok. I'm sorry I hit you. It's just been so hard. I wish you could see it Brooke's and mine way. But your different from us. You're like your daddy, and it's hard for me to see that now. But it's true. You took after your daddy and Brooke took after me. I really do think what is best for me and Brooke is to move. You are 17. You can make your own decision on what to do. I am not going to force you to move with us. I couldn't handle it, you would hate it and it would make things harder. It will be hard for me to let you go, but you are old enough to decide. Tell me what you want to do."

"Are you for real? You would let me stay here by my self?"

"No. You will have to stay with someone. Like maybe your grandparents, or your Aunt Taylor. But you can't stay by yourself right now, please."

"Ok. If you will let me do this, I promise I will be a better person."

"You are a good person; you just lost your way. I already told Brooke what I was going to tell you, and she is upset, but she understands. Please call us and write us and visit. I love you kid."

"Thanks mom, I love you to. Can I go tell Jamie?"

"Yeah, but be back here by dinner, so we can talk some more."

"Thanks mom." Val gave her mom a hug and walked out the door.

Val knew Jamie went back to the station, so that's where she went to. She walked into the room, "Jamie, can I talk to you for a minute again please." Val smiled at him.

'Gosh why does she have to like him for?' Tyler thought to himself. 'Why did this have to happen?'

"Sure let's go outside." Jamie stood up and they walked outside hand in hand.

"You'll never guess what just happened Jamie."

"What are you talking about?"

"I went back to my house and my mom said that I could stay here with an aunt or something and that she and Brooke are going to move. But I get to stay here." Val was smiling wide.

"Oh that's great!" Jamie gave his girlfriend a hug.

"I know this is just what we wanted to happen. I don't know who I will live with though. I think my aunt Taylor. She is better than my grandparents. Will you come over after your shift tonight?" Val asked her boyfriend.

"Yeah. You know I will. See ya in a couple of hours." Jamie kissed his girlfriend bye.

Val walked back in with him and went into Alex's office, "Alex, can I talk to you for a minute please."

Alex looked up from his paperwork, "Yeah sure Val."

"Listen, I'm really sorry for what I did to this squad. But this is my life, my mom said I could stay in town with my aunt. Is there any way I could come back onto the squad. Even on probation or starting all over again or whatever. I don't mind." Val was talking fast because she was nervous.

Alex thought for a minute, "Of course you can have your spot back. And just think of it like you never left. No trouble or nothing, just don't let that happen again or there won't be no coming back. You understand?"

"Yes sir. Thank you. When do I start back?"

"I'd say you are about 3 hours late. Don't let that happen again either." Alex just smiled at her.

"Oh thank you sir."

Val walked back into the common's room, "Hey Jamie, guess what! Alex said I could come back and be on the squad." Val looked over at Tyler and thought she saw him smile, 'oh well his loss.' Val thought to her self.

"That's great hon. When do you start?"

"Well, Alex said I was about 3 hours late and to never let it happen again. I got to call my mom and tell her I'll be home at six instead of five." Val left the room to go make the call in privacy.

"You know man you really should tell her about you and…."

"Jamie shut up. I don't want her to hear you. I WANT TO TELL HER. Not you and not anyone else."
