Today was Parents Weekend at Nevermore. And Im so excited ! I haven't seen my parents in a long time and I miss them a lot.  The last time I talked to them, introduced them to my amazing best friend Xavier. Which was like two months ago. Right now I'm in Xavier's room. We decided to have a movie marathon the night before.

Now the thing about me and Xavier is a little complicated. I obviously have a crush on him and he likes me too. We aren't dating nor are we friends with benefits, but we do call each other pet names and we do do couple-ly things. We haven't admitted it to each other just yet and I'm okay with that. I love our relationship now and I don't want to ruin anything.

We both showered and got ready for the big day. I was just finishing blow drying my hair when Xavier comes out the bathroom. His hair was wet and he only had his pants on. "Hey baby have you seen my phone ?" He asked me. I turn to him. "Yeah I put it on the charger since you forgot to charge it last night. " I say unplugging his phone and handing it to him. "Thank you." He says and gives me a kiss on my cheek. "Your always looking out for me." "Well duh, I always gotta make sure my baby is being taken care of."

"I really appreciate you." "I know." I say and smile. "Now go back in the bathroom and put on your shirt. I have to finish doing my hair." "What ? You don't like me this way ?" I would much rather you stand in front of me naked. "Boy go." I say and push him towards the bathroom door. Once he's in, I go back to doing my hair.

After about 20 minutes I'm done with my hair. It's just in a low back ponytail since I didn't really know what to do with it. Plus I was feeling lazy and didn't want to do too much. I put on my makeup and was about to put on my clothes. I had my skirt on and was about to put on my shirt. Xavier came out the bathroom screaming my name which made me drop my shirt on the floor.

"Damn. I like you a lot better like this." I smirk "oh really ?" I say and walk closer to him. "Mhmm." he says. He puts his hands on my hips and I wrap my arms around his shoulders. I put my face close to his, close to the point of we moved even a little more, we would kiss. When he was about to connect our lips, I move back. "That's too bad now go back in the bathroom until I'm done." I say and walk back to pick up my shirt to put it on. Xavier groans. "Your such a tease." He says and laughs a little and I join in.

When I finish I call to him and tell him he can come out. "Damn. You take forever." "Shut up. It takes time to look this good." "Right..." He says and I hit his arm. We laugh. "Im just kidding and you always look good no matter what." He says. "Your so sweet." I say and smile at him. "Now come on ! Let's go see my parents !" I say and grab his hand and race out the door.

We ran until we reached the entrance of the school. I wanted to be right there when they pulled up. After a few minutes the entrance was swarming with people. Parents and kids all hugging and smiling. It made me even more excited to see my parents. After about 15 minutes my smile started to fade. Maybe they got stuck in traffic. They'll be here. I'm sure. Xavier noticed me looking a little sad.

"Don't worry pretty girl, they'll be here." I smile at him. I couldn't say anything to him. I had a feeling in my stomach that they weren't coming but I still had hope. We wait another 15 minutes and they still haven't showed. I then get a message from my dad.

Dad ❤️
I'm sorry baby but I don't think we will be able to make it to the parent weekend thing. I promise we will be there next time. We love you.

I felt my eyes tearing up. "Is that your parents ?" Xavier asked me. "Yeah, they said they couldn't come today." "Aww baby it's okay." He says and hugs me. "I need to be alone for a little while but I'll text you later." I said and walk away from him before he can say anything. I walk up to my room and lock myself in. Laying down on my bed I start to cry. That's what I get for getting my hopes up.

Damn. She was really looking forward to her parents coming. And they didn't show. Y/n loves her parents very much. And they let her down by not showing up this. I feel really bad. She couldn't stop talking about her parents and how she was going to see them today. I hate seeing her sad so I decided that I was going to do something that'll put a smile on her face.

I left Nevermore and went into town. Y/n loves white roses. She said the meaning behind a white rose is a sign of someone's love. Giving her a single white rose is like giving her your love. I don't know if that's the actual meaning behind a white rose but thats the meaning to her. She'll treasure that forever and I had liked her since we started becoming friends, so hopefully she'll like it.

I got her her favorite candies too since she has a sweet tooth. She loves in-and-out and she always talks about how she hasn't had one in a while. So I got her that too. Before I went back to the dorms, I went to to my art shed. I took a photo of her a couple weeks ago. She was laughing and she looked so beautiful that I painted it. It was supposed to be for me to look at whenever I missed her but I think she'd appreciate this more. So I grab it and head back to Nevermore.

I cried so much that I fell asleep. I don't know but sleeping after crying always hits different. I woke up from the sound of my phone going off. Xavier was calling me.

"Hey baby you feeling better ?" "No, not really. I was really looking forward to seeing my parents since it's been months." "I know but I have a surprise for you. So could you come to my room ?" "Yeah I'll be there in like 20 minutes. I need some time to clean myself up." "Okay see you." "See you." I ended the call and got up to go to the bathroom.

After 15 minutes

I am now on my way to Xavier's room. I wonder what my surprise is. I get to his door and knock. He opens the door and smiles at me. A smile that I love so much. He hugs me tightly. "You doing okay ?" "Kinda, not really." "Well I hope this will make you feel better." He says and takes my hand. He walks me into his room. On his bed was in-and-out burgers and a lot of Mexican candy. And next to his bed there was a painting with a white sheet on it. I smile at the food and candies.

I walk up to the painting and take off the sheet. My smile widen when I saw the painting. It was absolutely gorgeous. I turn around to thank him when he's standing in front of me with a white rose. "Y/n you have been an amazing friend to me for many months. But it's not enough for me anymore. I don't want to be your friend anymore. " My smile drops after hearing this. "I want to be more than friends with you. Y/n everything about you makes me want to smile. Your gorgeous and talented and strong. Your stubborn but I love that about you. You never take no for an answer. I love the way you care about others and I love the way you are about me. I care about you a lot so take this white rose as a sign of my love to you." I smile again and I feel myself tearing up again. "Y/n will you be my girlfriend ?"

"YES !" I scream and jump on him and koala hug him. He hugs me back. "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you." "Anything for you." I look down at his lips and he looks at mine. I made the first move and kissed him. The kiss was full of love. It made me smile into the kiss. We pull away and smile at each other. "Come on let's eat these burgers before they get cold." He says and I giggle. I jump off him and sit down on his bed. He puts on a movie and we eat.

I'm really glad that I have him in my life. I truly appreciate and love Xavier a lot. He's the reason that I smile and laugh super hard. We spend the night laughing and talking and watching stupid movies. I had even forgot about the whole parent thing. He always knows how to make me forget about my troubles. We fell asleep together with him holding me very close to him. I fell asleep with a smile on my face instead on tears.
