Chapter 99

I shook my head; this wasn't the time to think about Adrian, that door closed years ago. Plus he wouldn't recognize me now even if he saw me; I changed a lot in the last few years. I groaned internally and told myself to stop thinking about him. I was going to shove the thought of Adrian away and start my new life. ‘I'm doing this for you Gabriel’ I thought as I looked out the window at the familiar town I was leaving, the family I was leaving. One that never ceased to remind me what a disappointment I was. I was going to have a new life, a new way of living, a new me. **** "This place is beautiful" I said looking out the window of Patrick's car. It wasn't a small town but it wasn't very large either, greenery as far as the eye could see. "I can see why you like it here" "Yeah it's great, the people are really nice too" he said smiling at me "I spoke to Dean and he tried to talk me out of renting the apartment" "Why?"
