This is a filler chapter. Thanks for reviewing, again it means a lot. I like to specifically thank my tumblr friend heelmichelle with all the love I'm getting on tumblr. I'm glad you guys are getting into it. Besos
On the phone:
"Jon I need to talk to you" I rushed.
"Why what happened? Are you okay?" he tried to calm me down
"I told them and let me say that it was a bad idea to tell them so soon."
"It's my fault I told you to tell them" he said sadly.
"No it's not. My dad told me that he never wants to see you again. He wants me to break up with you" I cried.
"Fuck", he yelled. "And what did you say?" he said with clenched teeth.
"I told them who's going to stop me" I said evening out my voice.
"So you stood up for me?" he asked.
"Of course, I love you too much. They can't tell me what to do anymore."
"I don't need the approval from your parents because I want to be with you. We're both adults and we could make our own decisions"
"Hell yeah we can. I was never going to let them stop me by the way."
"Good otherwise I would have been so pissed off." He laughed, "You know how angry I could get. By the way I'm sorry for fighting with you when I'm on the road."
"I know I was being frustrating, but I finally put aside the age and my personal shit to say yes to you. But I'm happy that I said yes yesterday."
"I don't want to ask how your birthday went" he chuckled.
"They canceled the family party because my dad was mad at me."
"What did your mom say?"
"She was quiet the whole time my dad and I were arguing. She talked to me last night; she's cool with it, because she knows she can't stop me. As long as I don't run off with you, she's okay" I laughed.
"At least one of them has some sense" he laughed.
"Well he's my dad and you know what they say, every daughter is daddy's little girl."
"Yeah well I'm glad you're not going to listen."
"I feel like a rebel" I laughed. "I can't wait to go to Ohio with you" I said sweetly.
"I'm happy you're still coming with me."
"I wouldn't miss a whole weekend with you. In other news Deana is going to pick out a car with me. The money I'm not using for college, I'm using to lease a car. Originally I was going with my dad, but he's not talking to me right now."
"Where is this money coming from?" he asked concerned.
"Well I'm 18 and my bank account is officially mine" I shouted with excitement.
"That's great. It must be a lot of money."
"Not really, I'm using car money from 3 months worth of paychecks from the salon."
"What an adult decision" he put emphasis on the word adult.
Jon POV
"…My dad told me that he never wants to see you again. He wants me to break up with you" I heard her crying. I was getting real pissed, what if she said okay to her father. She is the one person in my life that hasn't judged or disappointed me; I hope this isn't the first time.
When she told me that she is not going to listen to her parents I felt relived. If she would have broken up with me I probably would have punched some holes into every wall in this damn hotel room. We hung up after a half hour and I got ready for a house show tonight.
Chris POV
Deana picked me up to go get my car. "So I told Jon about what my parents said."
"That's good. I'm glad you listened to your heart you must really love him" she turned slightly to me then at the road.
"Did you ever question my love for Jon?" I asked awkwardly.
"I thought you said you would never love again after Dave OD'd two years ago."
"I know I thought so too."
I had a boyfriend in freshman year through the end of sophomore year named Dave. My best friend Sam's soccer buddy whom I met when I was 8. There were 9 of us who hung out until Sam quit soccer and moved. Dave was the first one I met. We went out from February 2011 to March 2012 when he passed away. When he died my life changed I thought I would never like a guy in the way I liked Dave. I told Jon about him and the story. I guess that was part of the reason I didn't want to commit myself to Jon. Last summer I was still broken when I met Jon, but he made me realize that I had somebody else to rely on besides Sam and Deana. I also got a tattoo on my right ankle for Dave; it read: Shine on to a better place. It also had a number 37 for his soccer uniform. All 7 of my friends and I got tattoos for him, but I added a little more. The words are lyrics from Simple Plan's song Gone Too Soon.
Deana snapped me out of my thoughts; "We're here" she parked the car and we went into the dealership.
"Hi my name is Robert how may I help you?" A man probably in his late 50's came to help us.
"I'm Christina and this is Deana" I pointed to her. "I need help with everything." I laughed. Robert chuckled and signaled us to walk with him; "Come with me."
"Obviously you want a jeep, but what model were you thinking of getting?"
"Well my uncle had a Wrangler and I really liked it. I drove it before and I liked the feel and look of it." Robert nodded and walked us a little further. "This is the newer model. Do you remember what year your uncle's was made?" H tilted his head to the left slightly.
"It was a 2008." I put my finger on my chin.
"They don't make them like that anymore, but this a 2013 it rides better." He opened the car door, "Sit inside and see how it feels." I stepped in and put my hands on the wheel, I looked out the windshield. "I like it" I said as I stepped out of the car. "You girls can take a ride in it. Come outside" Robert walked to the same car. "Get in" Deana and I went in the front while Robert was in the back. We went for a test drive and I fell in love with it.
"So you like it Christina?" Robert asked with a grin on his face. "I love it", we walked inside. "Go over to Aaron over at the desk and sign the papers. When you're done come find me outside, I'll get the guys to prep your car." He walked outside; when he said my car I felt so happy. I signed the papers and went outside with Deana to find Robert.
"Okay congratulations you are the proud owner of a 2013 Jeep Wrangler" Robert gave me the keys. I hugged Deana, "This is great" I squeezed her with excitement. "You're…killing…me" I got off of her, "Sorry De."
"Don't worry I did the same to you when I got my car."
"Oh right. I'm so not sorry."
I got into my car (it feels so good to say my car) and Deana went in hers. The Jeep is a greenish-grey color.
When I got home I sent a picture to Jon. School was tomorrow so I took a shower and went to sleep; I can't wait to take my car instead of the damn bus.
