I didn't mean to blurt it out!

We had only been going out for a few months now and I think you'd have to wait atleast a year before someone said that.

Right after I had said it, I instantly regretted my decision when I saw the look on Marcus' face.

He looked like he didn't know what to say.

Shit.

I instantly bolted up, fixed myself up and ran towards the door with my stuff and shoes in hand.

I ran away and called Evangeline to come pick me up somewhere.

He didn't even ask me to come back.

I had waited a few moments before finally walking away from his house and I didn't see the door open.

I had been waiting for him to chase me, but I guess he was weirded out too.

I ruined this.

Of course he wouldn't be prepared for that kind of thing!

He went out every night and probably thought we were a casual thing!

And to think I was ready to give my virginity to him!

I'm a fucking loser.

I hadn't stopped by at the club even once this week.

Evangeline had invited me to party for days now, but I knew I couldn't face him.

I was too embarassed, he'd probably break it off or something.

We hadn't officially called it off yet but I think I already knew where it was going.

The moment he saw me, he'd tell me we were a casual fling and we needed to break it off because it was getting too serious.

He was always so careful with me, making sure we were going at my pace.

I just wanted to venture a little further.

It felt amazing with him.

He made sure I felt comfortable the whole time and we hadn't even gone all the way yet!

I was sitting in my room when suddenly I hear the familiar honk of Eva's car.

Shit! Not this again.

I instantly bolt from my curled position in front of my laptop and swing my door open before she got the chance to knock.

Eva's been my bestfriend for a while now, ofcourse I know the sound of her car.

She's done this for the past month every friday night.

She was all glammed up, a backpack on her shoulders which contrasted to her get up.

I already knew what was in the backpack.

"I brought you an outfit as always! Come on, let's go please!!" She says, getting straight to the point.

I frown at her and roll my eyes.

"I'm not interested Eva, go find a man or something. You'll do fine without me." I say and she huffs, crossing her arms over her chest.

She pulls me into a hug and I groan, returning it.

She pats me on the head and sighs.

"Come on, Sophie. It's a Friday night. Let loose." She says and I sigh.

She knows I'll say no, so why would she bother again for the fourth time?

"What's your offer this time? Don't tell me you brought a bag of sour patch kids again. That won't work on me." I ask her and she sighs, smirking at me.
