~Monday~
I wake up to my alarm, Everette groaning at the sound and I roll out of bed, turning my alarm off.
I go to my bathroom and brush my teeth and throw my hair up in a bun. I walk over to Leah and wake her up, I also go over to Everette and kiss his temple softly.
Downstairs Eli sits at the kitchen table eating and I sit next to him. He looks high. And not on pills.
Me and him haven't really spoken since the huge argument we had.
His eyes are bloodshot and have dark purple bags under them, his curly hair is tangled and longer than he normally lets it get.
"Are you okay?" I whisper and he shakes his head. I lean down and hug him, pulling him to my shoulder. "I love you, Eli. I want you to be okay." He leans further into my shoulder and I hear him mumble an 'I love you too.' Before pulling away and waving me off.
I don't argue with him and grab my bag from the front door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You have to subtract the 16, love."
"That makes no sense!" I throw my hands in the air and Everette laughs
"It's not funny!" I exclaim and toss a pillow at his face
"It's a little funny baby, I mean it's not that hard." Everette says with a smirk
"Yeah that's easy for you to say mr. 98% in math."
He shrugs and I look back to my paper, doing what he says.
"Hey do you wanna go out to dinner with me?" Everette suddenly asks.
"Like a date?"
"Whatever you want." He says and I smile
"Yes, when?"
"Tomorrow, 7 o'clock."
"I'll pick you up."
"You live here?" I question
"Hush. I have my ways" he says and I laugh.
"What do I wear?"
"Whatever you want to wear."
That's not very helpful.
"Okay well where are we going?" I ask him
"I'm not telling you that" he rolls his eyes
"Well then how do I know what to wear?"
He rolls his eyes again and I smirk. He's very attractive when he's acting annoyed.
"just wear something casual."
"Thank you." I say and smile cheekily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm freaking out. I don't know what to wear. I haven't been on an official date with Everette, or anyone, actually.
Yes, we've been places together, the carnival, the beach, but those were kind of spur of the moment things, and this is my first date with Everette as his girlfriend.
"Paige!" I yell through my wall and she comes into the room, dragging her feet behind her.
"Help." I pout, holding up a few shirts.
"Hot date?" She asks and I nod
"Kind of, just a date, anyways, help."
