Rant - How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Let me explain the whole situation. I, Evan Fury, 19 year old white guy, have been dating Jade Beckett, 17 year old female, for 3 years (on Sept 18, my 20th birthday). Jade's birthday is March 21. That makes me almost exactly 2.5 years older than her. My parents have a problem with that. They also have a problem with Jade's family, particularly her dad, who my parents believe to be the Devil. Why, you ask? I don't know. One of my mom's friends told her that he was a mean drunk or something, so my mom naturally believes her. So after Jade and I had been going out for 3 months, my mom found a couple of notes that Jade had written me where Jade had confessed her love to me, and the letters contained some sexual innuendo. My mom felt that Jade was apparently some sort of white trash slut who wanted nothing more than to have me get her pregnant so she could cash in on our "fortune". So she and my stepfather forbade me from going out with Jade. But I felt a very strong connection to Jade, so I secretly saw her behind my parents back. I was extremely methodical and calculative when it came to Jade and I, and up until late July of this year (2 and a half years later), they never knew about it. One week before I was to move to the college town where I was transferring (I have already completed 2 years at a community college), my parents stumbled over some email that I had written her. So I was FUCKED. Royally. I don't really believe in coincidence or "accidents". God was trying to fuck me over. My parents have rarely used my computer, no more than a handful of times. But they decided to, on the same day that I had forgotten to put a _ between Jade's email address. So when they logged onto the internet, the little ! was too enticing, so they found an unsent email from me.
So once again I was given an ultimatum to stop seeing her. But this time, the choices were a little different. If I decided to truly stop seeing her, then I could remain in the house, but I wouldn't be able to go to the college I had intended, because she was going to start there too. I had to pick another college, and I would have to pay for it out of my savings, at least until I was deemed trustworthy again. On the other hand, if I chose to continue seeing her, they wouldn't pay for any of my remaining college, they would take away my car insurance, and if I wanted my car (82 Fairmont, gift from my paternal grandfather), then he would have to sign it out of their names. And I would have to move out. So I moved out. I moved down to my grandmother's (not in college town) for most of August, until I moved to ETSU on August 27th. I'm living on campus ($825 per semester), on top of $3600 per semester for out-of-state tuition. Which brings my college costs for the next two years at around $18,000. I have $11,891.37 in the bank.
How the fuck was your summer?
