You Told Me To Walk So I Walked Right Out Of Your Lives Chapter 09
The two sides stood at a stalemate.
When they saw I still wouldn’t budge, they finally left the choice to me.
“Amaris, you decide.”
I gripped Miller’s hand tightly.

I still had more than ten thousand dollars left.
I took out five thousand and tried to repay Miller for the medical bills.
She wouldn’t take a cent.
She made only one request.
Her nephew, who had terrible grades, needed a tutor.
I would tutor him, and in exchange, she would give me a place to stay.
Her nephew’s name was Leo. He went to my school, a grade below me.
So I returned to school, supervising his studies every day.
Life went on like that for a while.
Then, my parents called.
They wanted me to come home for dinner.
Sofia had been accepted to Penn State.
My mother’s voice sounded sincere.

“Let’s just put all this behind us.”
