Chapter 19

Time has passed, and Sam is now eighteen years old. He still lives at home with his mother, and she has given birth to a little girl, Emily. Sam is looking back at the time that has passed, and answers some questions, the biggest one being how the relationship is with Alicia. Sam and Alicia had been living apart, but they stayed together for Roof. One day, when they had been in the park with Roof and there had been none fighting between them, they ended up having sex for the first time since Roof’s birth. Alicia’s mother walked into them after they had sex, and she reacted quite badly.  She screams at them and makes them get dressed and come down. Then it is revealed that the relationship between Alicia’s parents is not as good as it seemed. Alicia’s mother wants Alicia to be with someone she really loves, and will love for the rest of her life, and not make the same mistake as her. Sam understands because he is not sure if he loves Alicia the way he used to before roof, but he still wants to give it a try. After the discussion, Sam goes home, and Alicia’s parents are still screaming at each other in the kitchen.
