No one but you

Will you

6 years ago

I get into the car fast after I see my dad's car waiting at my school.

I just finished today at school and I'm super exited.

"HI dad, omg I have stuff to tell you!" I tell him as I'm putting my seatbelt on.

" Oh sounds exiting, go ahead." he smiles at me, turning down the music. Giving me his full attention

" Okay so first I met this one girl, she just transfered schools, her names Blair she's so nice and fun. She's my best friend now!" I tell him excitedly

" Oh also I got my report card straight A's as always!" I give him a big smile.

"Oh sweetheart that's amazing I'm so proud of you. I have an idea how about we go get ice cream to celebrate." He says in a happy tone

"You read my mind, let's go!" I say excitedly as I put my report card down

He then starts the car and starts to drive to this ice cream place kind of close to the house.

I'm in the backseat drawing this really pretty flower I found on the way to school this morning.

My dad looks at me in the mirror. "What you doing back there?"

"Oh I'm drawing this really beautiful flower I found!"

"Oh cool, show me the flower." He says as he stops at a red light.

I hold up the beautiful light and bright pink flower.

" do you know what this flower called?" I ask I've never seen a flower this pretty before.

"Im like 99 percent sure it's an azalea."
He put his eyes back on the road as the light changes to green

"Oh well there my favorite now! I smile and go back to drawing.

My dad then gets a phone call, since he's driving he puts it on speaker.

"Were the hell are you!" I flinch as i hear an angry voice yell, it's my moms.

As u hea my moms angry voice I start to hum to myself

"Baby what are you talking about were are you?" He says in a calm voice

" I told you this already, in at the bar by your office, you were supposed to pick me up now hurry!" She gets even madder

The bar? Why is she there?

He then sighs "Im coming, I just picked up Tara, were close to the ice cream shop but just stay there." He says in a low voice.

" Bro your all the way over there! Just forget it I'll just walk home! Fuck you she mutters then hangs up.

I stop drawing as I feel the car speed up
What is happening?

Just then I feel the car speed up, like really speed up.

"Dad?"

I look out the window for a second and I see a car coming

"Dad!"

   Present day.

I walk over to my moms room. I knock on her door three times then open it.

I take a few steps in there and stop. She's siting in her office chair, back faced towards me.

" Yes, mother what did you want me for?" I ask and she dosnt even look at me

" Oh Tara, the Stokes are coming over for dinner so get ready and look.... nice." She says in a cold tone.

"Okay." As I'm about to walk out I stop in my tracks as I hear her voice again.

"Oh and Tara don't say no." She finally looks over at me.

"No to what?" I ask curiously as u turn back around to face her.

"You'll know what I'm talking about later, now go I'm busy." She says as she goes back to texting or whatever on her phone

I just walk out and close the door
___________________________________

I walk out of my room, just finished getting ready. As soon as I walk out I hear the door open and I see jere. Jere, Mrs Stokes and Mr Stokes.

Jeremiah is the heir to the Stokes mafia and my best friend. His father is the leader of it right now.

I'm apart of the Miller mafia, also the heir I guess. It's led by my mother ever since everything happened

I clear my throat

I start to walk down the stairs in my short black dress. And my long dark brown hair down against my back.

As I walk down I see jeres eyes snap to mine. And so dose my mom and the Stokes. But I don't mind them.

I walk down the rest of the steps and go to jere.

"Hey, you look ugly." He says In a jokingly way and scrunches his nose.

"Uh hey!" I hit his arm playfully "Well you look like you just woke up."

He chuckles " you know im just kidding Tara." I look away

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say Jere." I roll my eyes playfully. I know he's joking it's just how we are with each other.

"You look very beautiful Tara." My Eyebrows furrow a little and I look back at him.

He's acting really weird right now.

"Jere-

I then get cut off by my mom yelling. "Dinners ready!"

Great just absolutely perfect timing. I haven't really spoke or hung out with him for a few weeks, I guess we've both just been busy. Well atleast him

We both walk to our seats at the table.
Mine and Jeres seats beside each other and our mothers across from us. Mr Stokes at the head. My father would've been at the other side.

We all sit down at the table. I glance at everyone noting the silence and difference. I don't know what, but something is weird. The way everyone's acting.

We then all start eating. The silence starts getting awkward after a while.

Then Mrs Stokes speaks." You look absolutely lovely Tara." She smiles at me.

"Aw thanks Mrs Stokes, you do too." I give her a smile back.

"Well there's something Important Jeremiah has to ask you." Mrs Stokes tell me.

"We were going to wait until later". My mother says to her

"Sooner, later what difference does it make. The sooner the better." Mr Stokes chimed in.

"Okay, what are you guys talking about?" I ask curiously

"Jere". Mrs Stokes nods to him. I look toward his direction

That gets my attention "what?" I ask then turn to jere as he reaches for my hand and holds it.

What is happening right now.

".....Tara will you be my girlfriend?" His light brown eyes stare into mine as he asks

What the actual-
