"Can you believe him, Liberty? Not only did he not show up for school as he promised. He ditched me for no reason at all with no explanation" I complained over the phone
"Okay, girl. I know you need to rant and normally I'd be all for it but I have a date to get ready for" Liberty said
"Oh yeah. Sorry, I'm just so upset" I said
"Sorry to ditch ya girl but I think Carlos' here later," she said before hanging up leaving me to sigh
"Great" I sighed as I walked to the window and looked out to see Taylor rushing to put on clothes
"Where is he rushing to?" I asked myself as he put on some expensive perfume
'Wait expensive perfume. Does he have a date? No way. Who would go on a date with him?' I thought before something or someone came to mind
'No no. No way he has a date with her" I said as I watched him leave his room then ten minutes later drive out in his old car.
"Wow I can't believe he still has that thing" I smiled thinking back at all the places we use to drive to in that thing as well as the times Taylor's Mom had to come to collect us from the holding cell. Having been too busy reminiscing then I hadn't heard the doorbell ringing over and over again. It was the sound of my alarm going off that snapped me out of thoughts in time to hear
"SOPHIE!!! YOU HOME!!" I heard Nick's voice scream out as I got up from the window and went to the door and saw him dressed in a nice black suit
"Nick? What are you doing here" I said shocked
"I'm sorry, I know you're angry and I know I forgot but I came to make it up to you"
"Make it up to me?" I said confused
"Yeah I got us reservations at La Flèche D'amour de Cupidon," he said surprising me even more
"NO WAY!" I squealed excitedly. This was the most romantic restaurant in town and one of the most expensive. It was second only to the Midnight
"Yep, now I think you should get dressed," he said handing me a shopping bag
"What's all of this for?" I asked as I took out a sparkly red dress and beautiful gold earrings
"Wow" I said entranced the beautiful shimmer of the diamond necklace
"Hurry up and get change. We're going to be late" he said with a smile
"Yep I'm going right now," I said heading towards the stairs
"Oh and Sophie," he said stopping me
"Yeah what is it?" I asked
"Happy Anniversary," he said before it hit me.
Today was October 2. The day we told everyone we were dating but I didn't remember that despite all the planning I had done over the summer. I had forgotten our four-year anniversary. I was stuck in place.
I had spent the last month so focused on my projects with James that it completely slipped my mind. I had marked it on my calendar but I hadn't had time to look at my calendar in the mornings so I mostly just rely on the books I had packed the night before to determine what day it was.
"Um Sophie" Nick's voice said snapping me out of my thoughts
"Huh sorry. I'll be down in a minute" I said as I ran up the stairs an apologetic look in my eyes
