AUTUMN

Four years ago…

Stay, I wrapped my arms around Liam’s waist and rested my head on his chest. Why would you want to leave all this?

He tightened his hold and kissed the top of my head. You know I have to go. It’s expected of me.

I leaned back slightly to glance up at him. Break the family tradition.

He gently pulled me off his body and stood up from the bed. Autumn. He reached down and grabbed a T-shirt sitting on the floor. Would you do that? I could tell he was frustrated because he sighed heavily. Your family is everything to you. How would you like it if I asked you to break with all your family’s traditions?

I sat up and crossed my legs in front of me. You’re right, that was shitty of me.

He squatted down in front me. It’s only four years. Plus, I’ll come home every summer.

Hey. My hands were resting on one album and one particular photo.

Wow, you’re just a baby there, Olivia laughed and leaned closer to get a better look. When did you both start dating? Weren’t you a sophomore?

For the last two weeks I was a mess. Anti-social. Moody. Basically a fucking delight.

Liam Hicks walked back into my life and my world suddenly turned upside down.

Freshman. He’s two years older than me. I pulled my hand away and wiped a tear that escaped. I could still see the moment he asked me out like it was yesterday. It shocked me because I was just a freshman in high school. I always wondered why a junior would be remotely interested in me.

Crazy how time flies. She turned the page on the album. Oh God, I made the cut.

I nudged her side. "Of course you
