You woke up to see the sun shining through your window again. What had happened? Did you really fall asleep that early last night? You couldn't remember what happened. You tried to separate each your dreams from reality. You grabbed your phone & looked at the time. It was 12:00 in the afternoon! You had slept for a really long time. You looked at your messages and saw one from Wes! Shit, you were supposed to go meet Wes at 2:00 today! The text said;
"Hey cutie, still on for 2:00 today?(:"
You quickly typed back;
"Yup, I'll see you then!(:"
You threw your phone down and sighed. You hoped that it would go okay, and that he would like you. You hoped that Troy would stay out of it, as the thought of him coming back into your life, terrified you. Your phone buzzed again, and it brought you back from the nightmares running through your mind. It was a text from Wes;
"Sweet, can't wait! See ya then(;"
Your heart leaped. Did he wink? Wow, maybe he actually liked you. But then you remembered, who you were, no one would want you again after what Troy did to you. You shivered. It was terrifying to know that as soon as someone said boy he popped into your head, or that he knew everything about you. By the time you snapped back to reality, it was already 12:30. You ran to your bathroom, and started the shower. You undressed and hopped in, humming as you washed your hair. You finished taking a shower, turned off the water and wrapped a towel around your self. You dried off your legs and walked back into your room. You turned on your straightener to let it heat up. You walked over to your closet. What should you wear today? You decided on a pair of shorts, and a Vitalire t shirt. You dried off, and got dressed, wrapping your hair up in the towel. You were having anxiety thinking about Troy again. About the pain he put you through, and how in the split of a second he could just ruin all that you had going for you. You tried to calm yourself down. The chances of that happening were unlikely, I mean he had a girlfriend now. Your old best friend Abby. You, Kait and Abby all used to hang out together, but then when all of the stuff happened with Troy you git closer to Kait because you thought she gave the best advice. After you and Troy broke up, she ended up dating him, and that was the end of your friendship. You wanted to tell her about Troy, about all the things he put you through, but something in your mind just stopped you. You didn't want to have to relive any of that all over again. You sat down at your vanity, took your hair out of the towel and starting brushing it. You couldn't help but think that Wes didn't know the real you. If he found out about the dark past you wanted to so desperately forget would he still like you? It was too early to think about any of this, you two barely knew eachother and you knew the chances of you two actually ending up together were slim. You began to blow dry your hair. You realized that your parents were working, and that they wouldn't be home until late. You thought about texting your mom but then again, you know she didn't care. In fact, it was difficult for you to remember a time when your mom actually did care what you did. Your hair was dry, and you brushed it again. You began to run through your hair with the straightener. When your hair was finished you turned off your straightener and walked over to your phone. You picked it up and checked the time; 1:55.
You were gonna be a little late, but you weren't too worried, everything would be okay. You got dressed, put your Toms on, grabbed your phone and walked downstairs to the kitchen. You opened the fridge to fi nd food, your mom had actually gone shopping. You got out a vitamin water and started walking. You texted Kait;
"On my way, wish me luck!"
You put your phone in your back pocket and kept walking, you didn't feel the need to drive, becauase Wes's house wasn't that far away. Your phone buzzed and you pulled it out of your pocket.
"Ahhh good luck, tell me everything tomorrow, I love youu!"
You typed back;
"I will! Love you too!"
The walk was shorter than you realized, as you were already there. You walked up the driveway to the front door and knocked. You heard commotion before someone answered. Wes was at the door, looking at you and smiling.
"You look so pretty!" he pulled you in and hugged yoou, you couldn't resist hugging back. He grabbed your hand and lead you inside, to the living room.
"So, how have you been since yesterday?" Wes asked.
"Good, youu?"
"I've been good, but I'm much better now." he winked.
At that moment you heard footsteps on the stairs. A boy with long hair walked in.
"Holy, shit." the boy said.
Wes laughed.
"I mean, um hi, I'm Keaton. What's your name?"
You smiled, "Hi, Keaotn! I'm Camille."
"Well, it's nice to meet you Camille!"
Wes interrupted. "Umm, Keat can I talk to you in the kitchen?"
"Oh sure, bro." Keaton said as he turned to walk towards the kitchen.
"Be right back cutie." Wes smiled at you as he followed.
Hmm, what were they going to talk about...
