Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 48
As the seconds went on I finally pulled back afraid she might seriously get physical in a way that just was not the right time for me even though in the past I would have already had her flat on her back on the floor or in my bed. "Ha.... so you and my parents just figured you'd come over here and I'd just crumble and move in with someone I don't even know... I went from living with them to living on my own for like 5 fucking minutes... even though I was living at home it was like living on my own since my parents had been checked out for years until summer happened and.... anyways I appreciate the offer...." "It's not a fucking offer that you are refusing because I'm not giving you the option and will contact anyone and everyone you make an inquire to about another place and fuck it up for you... no one will want to rent or sell to you as long as you are in my Country" Leona was now seething cutting me off and holding me tight when I tried to move away. I could not help but feel like I was being punk’d in some way with demands thrown in my face and I just could not take it anymore. "So I guess that's final and I have no choice but to either quiet school and go back home to my house which I'm sure is empty as fuck with people since the last message from my parents were that Sharene and the baby moved out… or move in with you and try my best to get through these next 4 or so years get my education, learn what I can from you and learn together for whatever it's worth I guess it's the best plan I have" I shrugged still wrapped in her embrace.
Leona finally let me go and I sat on my chest at the end of my bed and sighed putting my head in my hands. "I'll call the movers and have them come on by...." "Already taken care of I have a private company heading over now and should be here any min now... you can either help pack or just stand back since there is going to be about 15 of them along with your team moving their own things since they didn't want anyone touching their things. I have keys for you and then we'll get you all set up at the house to get in and out of the security gates, I took the weekend off to get you settled while I work on the case from home. That gives me time to get you worked out and up over the entire weekend only giving you enough time to study and do whatever it is you need to do for school.." she was so arrogant and sure of herself as she got a little closer. I could tell she was waiting for me to look up at her and respond in some way and I just couldn't since my head was so foggy. It was bad enough had been blocking everyone out all week even though I could hear them I didn't go to my dream state to be with them and ignored the cries from my mother and the ones that came and went from Violina. "Can you just ease me into this because I hate that I'm giving in so easily but I really have no other options at this point" I whispered and before I knew it I had people all over my house and moving things.
The more people there were around me the more anxious I became, "Whoa.... just a second there, how about you leave all the heavy things and I need to rent this place out since I own it now and I'm sure it's not just going to sell that quickly.. so it'll go up for rent and fully furnished. I'll need a new bed anyways even though it's only a couple months old... leave the dressers and I'll empty them. I'd like nothing from here to go except my liquor and a few items in the kitchen" I had realized that if I was cutting off people including Sharene I wanted nothing that would remind me of Sharene and Madeline. I let the movers empty the closet while I emptied my drawers putting them in duffle bags including the few items that Sharene had left with her smell on them along with Madeline's. I made everyone leave and head outside while I looked around the place one last time stopping in the area's that I felt Sharene the most and cried a little letting all the pain out before I left behind the last place we'd all been together happy, sad and angry. She had not called out for me in her dreams but could feel the pain she carried when she did think of me which was a lot and killed me every time. She fought hard not to call, and I figured it was thanks to having a job at the gym.
Giovanni had left me messages and texts asking what the hell had happened since no one was talking about it and Sharene had not said a word about me. I didn't reply until I was on my way to Leona's house and felt a little bit of release as I knew I needed to get out of my funk. "Gio, babe sorry for not calling or texting back until now, I hear that Jaclynn had the triplets and that everyone is doing great... I am so happy that they are healthy even though they were born a month and a 1/2 early. As for what's going on it's nothing just that I need to work on me and not be tied down or worried about other people, Shar moved out and hope she is doing good. I hope she sticks around there at the gym with you, but don't be surprised if she doesn't.. anyways I'm in the process of moving myself so I'll text or even try to call when I get settled in. I miss you like crazy and hope that things are well with you.. -Mia." I put my phone into my bag and leaned my head against the seat waiting for Leona to get us on our way even though she had seemed to take her sweet time. “Keep your eyes on the road would you…..I am not a fragile human as you are aware and I wish you and everyone else would see that” I continued to look out the window at the vehicles passing and the scenery.
The movers had their truck emptied in 20 mins and I was thankful that Leona had put me at the other wing of the house with my own kitchen and private entrance. "I wanted you to feel like you lived on your own, and if you want you can pay rent but I will bitch about it every time so just let that sink in" she could not help herself as she was all matter of fact about so many things before finally leaving me to get settled. I had my house up for rent in an hour using the photos I'd taken just before leaving and before the day was over, I had 6 offers and no one fought about the pricing. I had noticed that one of them was Logan and another was Xander who had both needed places to stay after one not liking their apartment and the other wanting to get out of the student housing as soon as possible. I called Logan and Xander on three way to see if they'd want to get the place together since it was big enough for them and Kelly who was engaged to Logan who would be moving in as well. "So now that I have you both on the line... would you both be willing to share the house since I don't like having to choose. I am contacting the two of you before I bother to call any of the other 6 who called about the house. It comes with a chef that of course is not in the price of the renting so if you want to keep him, you'll have to come up with the money. I can let you talk it over with Kelly, Logan and Xander let you decide if you want to have roommates as well. Other than that, if you want it without roommates I'll have to base it on who can come up with the first and last months’ rent by Monday or sooner" I smiled knowing they would be thinking about it, but also giving them options.
They both didn't need long since Logan and Kelly loved the house and didn't mind having to have a roommate. "Kelly is very picky and O.C.D hah-ha of course not as bad as you Mia but she is willing to try having a roommate" Logan had been so excited now. Xander felt the same way and I told them to meet me in a couple of hours to look over everything and sign the documents that I had written up. I couldn't believe that in just hours I had moved from a home I enjoyed and had 3 people moving into it. "Well I guess that's that and now I have 3 tenants... well that was easy money" I laughed to myself as I hung up the phone. I just hoped they could find happiness in the place that had become my new nightmare. I just wanted to find a new happiness and prayed it would come as easy as the hate and anger did for so many things around me. My thoughts were all over the place as I sat at my desk in the new office that had been designated to me thanks to Leona who had now taken me into her life and home without a second thought on how it could affect us both. My body was staring to cramp up and become tight now that I was feeling so un-easy and not myself over the last week and it didn’t help that I had shut everyone out even though it was best for me.
