Chapter 14:

Hadley

            “I don’t know if I should go through with this, Karen.” My phone sat on the kitchen counter as I paced the room, fidgeting with my water bottle.

            “Hadley, you are 26 years old. For one, you can make your own decisions. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way you know you’re an idiot if you don’t take this chance! You haven’t been able to shut up about this Flint guy and you’ve shown me the picture you have of him. He looks kinda broody and you know that’s part of what your type is. You love attitude. And you told me what he said about that new delivery guy you had. Besides, it sounds like he’s really interested in seeing you again. The least you can do is take the chance.”

            “I always followed my heart when we were kids. You know what that did to me.”

            “Yes, and I remember the week you spent held up in your room in that house because even mom told me to go help you. You didn’t eat for a few days and it took you forever to get back to your regular training after that. You almost lost a few clients that week because you had problems you let get in the way of the rest of your life.”

            “I thought there was really something there, but then not only was I just a pretty face for him, I wasn’t his only pretty face. He made it seem like I was the only one he wanted.”

            “And you moved past it. With help. Not everyone is right for everyone. It’s not a supermarket where you just pick out who you want. It’s a balance. Who do you get along with, who can you call a friend, who do you want to spend your time with, who can you not get out of your head.”

            “Who can you really trust?”

            “Yourself. You have to trust your heart to tell you ‘yes this person is good’ or ‘no run away, run away now’. You also have to forgive your heart if it makes the wrong call.”

            I sat there, ringing my water bottle for a minute before she continued.

            “Hadley, I know you’re scared. Believe me, I know you’re scared, but as much as you’ve talked about this guy you know that if you don’t take the chance you’re given now there might not be another chance and if that’s the case you’re going to regret not taking the only chance you’re given.”

            “Thanks, sis. I think I’m gonna go work out for a while.”

            “No problem. You know I’m always here for you. I’ll be in the art room if you need me. Love you.”

            “Love you too.” I smiled, picking my phone up and ending the call.

            “I just really hope this is the right choice.”


I kind of imagine his sister as a hippy type person. Not really sure why. She was an interesting character to write.
