 Damen

I just dropped off Ever at her house and I think I really am starting to like her. She's cute, funny and she has a reasonable way of seeing things, like that thing about my parents. She's right, I need to have at least have some sort of respect for them. I mean, this lady - I mean my mom had to carry me around in her belly for 9 months and then she gave birth to me. That deserves some respect and they put a roof over my head! I need to get to know her more, so I take out my phone and start texting her. 

Me: hey Nightingale.(: 

Ever: Damen.?

Me: yeah. 

Ever: Oh, aye. c:

Me: wassup.? 

Ever: Nothing, just up here in my room waiting for dinner, you.? 

Me: just walkin' home. i think i might get kidnapped since i'm pretty too &&' all that. o-o

Ever: lmbo. Conceited much.? -,- 

Me: not evenn.! you called me pretty this morning, don't you member.? o: 

Ever: Oh, haha. That wasn't what I meant. I meant you were good looking, too. ;b 

Me: oh, so i'm not pretty.? D': 

Ever: lol. Fine, fine. You are pretty. Very pretty. c: 

Me: my, my Ever. are youu flirting with me.? ;o 

Ever: Maybe. v.v 

Me: well you failedd.! lmbo, i'm kidding. nice trying, doee'.(;

Ever: Pshh. I did NOT fail.! Y0U just failed right now. With your winky face and everything. 

Me: nooo.! Damen Evans never fails.! D; 

Ever: Well, i hate to break it to ya, but you just did. c: 

Me: w.e. so when you saidd that you didn't have a bf ' right now ', did you mean youu used to have one.? 

Ever: Yeah, but that was like 3 months ago. 

Me: oh, what happened.?

Ever: I wasn't good enough for him. 

Me: no, don't say that. you were probably TOO good for him. 

Ever: No, I don't really think that was what happened.

Me: so tell me.?

Ever: I used to like him a lot back in middle school and when he finally asked me out, it felt like a dream come true, but it wasn't. It was a complete nightmare. 

Me: why.? what'd he do to you.? did he hurt you.?

Ever: He used to get jealous when I would talk to other guys and after he saw me talking to a guy, he would accuse me of trying to cheat on him. He would scream at me and make me feel worthless. But he would be flirting with girls all the time and I wouldn't say anything.! 

Me: well then why didn't you ever tell him anything.? NO ONE should ever be treating you that way, Ever. did you tell somebody about it.? what happened.?

Ever: He hit me. When he saw me hug a guy and kiss him on the cheek. It was my cousin. We made him a surprise party, and he got angry that I didn't invite him. So he slapped me right there in front of my whole family. 

Me: he hit you.?! 'coz you kissed your COUSIN.? did your parents do anything about it.? i would've beat himm up right then and there. >,<

Ever: Yeah, they kicked him out of the house and called the police. He was put in jail, but his parents bailed him out and as soon as they did, they left to New York. Never heard of him since then. 

Me: oh, well thas' good. but i say they shouldd have left him in that jail cell to rot. 

Ever: Haha, my parents thought the exact same thing. So what's up with you.? You have an ex.?

Me: egh, they've never really been serious relationships. more like just flings, never been in a serious relationship before, but if i meet the right girl, i'd be willing to commit.

Ever: Oh. So you're a player.? c; lol. Do you think you'll meet the right girl soon.?

Me: lmbo, yeah i guess thas' what you could call me. &&' i don't know. not yet. 

Ever: Oh. 

Me: yeah, but i kinda got someone in mind. 

Ever: Oh, really.? And who might she be.? c;

Me: it's a secret(: i'll tell you when i know for sure that she's the one though. 

Ever: Oh, okay. c: I gotta go, dinner. ^-^

I wonder if she knew that I was talking about her. I mean, I know it's too soon to be thinking about her this way, but I know she's different. I feel it in my gut. I don't know what it is, but she's got that one thing and I need that one thing.
