We sat in an awkward silence before Michael spoke up. "Hey, look I'm sorry about kissing you yesterday. I couldn't resist and don't know how to put it. I'm confused and I don't wanna date you. Please don't take offence," he trailed. I gave a subtle smirk as the waitress came back with our coffee. "Here you go!" She said ever so happy. "Thanks," I replied. I felt really jealous of that girl and Michael.
I took a sip of my latte as Michael started to talk to me about our song. "Hey, Carmen. We need to finish that recording so on Monday after school we could stay behind?" He asked. "Yeah," I replied. There was an unwanted tension within the room and I was scared. Whenever I saw Michael, butterflies would roam my stomach. I don't know what this feeling means...
Michael's POV
I think I'm going to ask Carmen out on a date. Truth is, I kissed her to see if I liked her. I have felt weird around her. Her eyes and hair and the way she laughs... I can't be rejected by her or else I'll feel really embarrassed and lose confidence within myself. I took the last sip of my latte and gestured to leave Starbucks. "Carmen I had a good time," I started. "Yeah, me too!" She said. My face lightened up to know. "I wa-was wondering if maybe you'd want to go out on like a date?" I whispered. "Michael," she started and I waited. "I'd love too!" She then said. Whoa she must be like me unsure about her feelings.
I walked her to the bus stop. The bus was nearing and in that moment it hit me... I love Carmen. "Bye Michael!" She chirped. "Bye Carmen," I smiled. And as I wasn't expecting at all she pecked my cheek with her soft lips. I stood there for about 5 minutes after the bus left in shock. I finally found her, the girl of my dreams. I hope when she finds out about my past she'll still like me. Although, she doesn't need to know...
Carmen's POV
I hopped on the bus and sat down. I was in euphoria. I relived the moment in my head. Smiling at it. I got off the bus and walked to my house. I was confused to see that my Mum wasn't in. I thought nothing of it, until I walked into the kitchen. It was wrecked. I was scared. I started to panic. Everything went black as my head hit the cold tiles.
Carmen's Mums POV
Surrounded by 5 doctors, the beeping and people asking me questions. I blanked them. All I knew was that he wanted Carmen and wouldn't rest until he did. He's out there somewhere on the loose and he will find her....
