Emma Johansson

Date with the police

Emma
"Wait Emma hold up" some lowerclassmen yells

"Do you still have some adderall?"He whispered as he comes close.

"Hey, How is the weather?" I asked skeptic.

"It's only blue skies from here on out." He answered.

When I started living with Scarlett she took me to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD and prescribed me Adderall, I never really used it as much so I used the leftovers to earn some money on the side. I was saving for a bike. But I didn't sell to just anyone and I always checked to see if the knew the weeks password.

"Happy to help, by the way spread the word, no rain next week." I said, my Adderall was almost empty and I didn't want more attention as necessary.

It is 3.30 pm, Lizzy and I were going on our date in about two hours, enough time for me to get home and change. When I got home I remember that I'm all alone, Scarlett had called me to tell that she had to go to Boston for some seminar and that she would be back in the precinct on Friday for a quick consult but she would not come home, because she had to be back in Boston on Saturday. She would be back home on Saturday around dinner (next week). She had to leave in a haste last sunday that's why she wasn't home. Which meant that I had the home all to myself for the next week and a half.

"How is the ice-cream?" Lizzy asks with a smile on her face.

"G-g-eat," I mumble with my mouth still half full. Resulting in a laugh form Lizzy.

"You got a little something" she giggles, leaning closer to use her tumb to swipe away the Ice Cream that had gotten on my nose.

I can feel my face heat up at her touch and a blush creeping on my cheeks.

"Thanks" I manage to whisper.

We were in a small booth in the corner of the restaurant enjoying our dessert. Lizzy had just moved closer to me and I started to notice the people around us starring. I was starting to feel really uncomfortable and even though I really liked being this close to Lizzy, I couldn't help but move away from her. Suddenly I started to realize what we were doing here and I started to panic. Why was I here? I don't like girls how did I get so carried away? My heart started racing and my palms became sweaty. I have to get out of here.

I stumbled out of my seat and made my way out off the restaurant. Everything was starting to spin and I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Emma you oke? What's happening?" I heard Lizzy's voice.

"Don't touch me, I'm not gay!" I yelled at her, before I started running away. I felt tears sliding down my cheeks and my vision was blurry. I kept running till I got home and locked myself in my room collapsing on my bed.

I heard a soft knock on my door, I head skipped school today not at all in the mood to listen to some teachers explaining god knows what. I looked at the clock, 4pm, and growled letting the person on the other side know that I'm alive. Tom came walking in with a plate with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on it.

"Hey, you weren't in school so I thought I come and check on you, Maria let me in with the spare key." He said sitting down beside me. He had a look of pity in his eyes.

"Ugh don't even say it" I ground sitting upright.

"How do you know I was even going to say anything? " He asked with a smirk on his face.

"Because we might not know each other for that long but I can read you like a book and right now I don't like what I'm reading." I said giving him a slight push.

"Haha, funny, but seriously the same goes for you, you know. I can read you as well, you might think that you're all hard and whatever but you're actually pretty soft. So now stop being a wush and tell me what happened." he smiled back.

"Ugh, I have no doubt that Lizzy has already told you all about it." I said.

"True but I want to hear it from you"

We talked all night and eventually Tom convinced me to talk to Lizzy and explain how I feel, instead of running away, which was a really shitty move. So the next day I decided to meet up with Lizzy in the park. It was 5pm. And the sun was starting to set as I saw Lizzy at the end of the park walking up to me. I gave her a quick hug before we sat down on the bench. The tension could be cut with a knife and I was feeling really uncomfortable. I was never that great at talking about feelings. Especially now I didn't really knew what I was feeling.

"so hum how do I sta.." I started but before I could finish Lizzy jumped in.

"Wait Emm, before you say anything I just wanted to say that I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, I know it's not easy to come out, or well at least it wasn't for me. and I'm not saying that you have to come out but ..." I shut her up by connecting my lips to hers.

I felt strange I had a weird feeling in my stomach and my heart was beating insanely fast. After a few seconds we both pulled away gasping for air. It was silent for a few minutes as we were staring into each others eyes.

"Lizzy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I ren, I'm sorry I yelled at you and I'm sorry for the way I acted. It's just all really new to me and I got scared. And I'm freaking out and then I got a panic attack and I took in out on you which wasn't fair. And I'm sorry..." I said eventually blurring everything out at once.

This time Lizzie cut me off by reconnecting our lips.

"I'm sorry to, if I made you feel pressured into doing something you don't want to do." She said pulling away with a sad smile around her lips.

I could see someone standing next to me in my peripheral vision and as I turn to look at who it is I hear a all to familiar sound. FLORENCE

"Didn't know you were a dyke?" She said in a bitch tone.

Before I could say anything Lizzie stood up getting right into her face and ushering her away. Florence gave me one last mean look before walking off without saying anything else.

I thanked Lizzie and we talked for a few more minutes and talked everything through. I told her that I was not ready to date anyone and she told me that she wasn't really looking for a relationship. But she made me promise to not run away but talk to her if I ever got another panic attack. Just as we were about to part ways a few officers showed up walking right to us.

"Emma Johansson you are under arrest for vandalizing school property." one of the man said while putting me in handcuffs.

"Emma what's going on?" Lizzy questioned worried.

"Call Tom" Was all I could say before they shipped me off to the station.

The last thing I saw before the doors to the car closed was Florence with a smug smile on her face and her phone in her hand recording everything.
