It's definitely safe to say Sean has a little crush on Blondie, which I think is hilarious
But he can't be with her she has to much going on, and Sean has his on issues he would just get we in the wdcsZw like shi" I cut Ethan off
"that sounds like a great idea"
" Really?" her eyes lit up.
"Ahhh omg oh my God, I've never never been in limo before" well at least grape head was excited
" okay I'll give him a car real quick, we should all get dressed"
So that's what we did, Emma called Thomas her driver apparently, and we got dressed,while waiting.
Next stop for me and Emma was getting her some new clothes, some practical stuff
She walked out wearing a little pink dress with some tights and some flats.
I guess it was relaxed compared to, what I've seen her in. But next week we definitely gotta go to the mall, wait Emma's not gonna be here next week
She goes home soon, I couldn't help but feel I don't know sad maybe guilty.
How am I supposed to help her if she's not here?
Emma's driver came and got us. The limo was pretty nice on the inside and Thomas seemed like a chill guy. collie was living the dream.
We got to Lola's I could tell, that Emma was struggling, it's crazy a week ago never would've thought she was going through anything like this but now I can't look at her any other way and I hate saying that
"Hey gorgeous!" I said to Lola
"Oh my favorite teens, how are you cuties?"
"Hungry" Sean said
Oh but of course you are honey bun you're growing boy"
"See Lola gets it" Sean and Lola were always hilarious" Rachel made her way over to our booth everybody started talking about what they wanted. Emma was sitting with me and Sean, collie, Ethan and Rachel across from us.
Eyes were flicking over the menu
Emma's especially she was nervously bouncing her leg, the one next to me, I put my hand on her knee and gently rubbed it. I didn't know what else to do. She came to a stop eventually.
"Do you know what you're going to get?" Sean asked her.
"Uh no" she laughed nervously
"I have an idea I'll order for you. Don't worry."
I told her
She looked at me with question in her eyes
Audrey, one of the waitresses came and took our order
about 15 minutes later, all of our food was brought out pancakes, bacon, sausage, and waffles galore, and a big bowl of fruit and yogurt on the side for Emma. I figured that would be the least scary for her out of all the food here.
she looked over at me and whispered thank you
I feel crazy watching her so much but I just wanna make sure she's okay you could see the mental struggle with every bite, it must be hard to be scared of the thing that you need to survive.
I can't even imagine what that's like.
She did pretty good she ate most of the fruit and half the yogurt. I took out my phone on the table and texted her,
*Hey you did good I'm proud you*
She read the text as it popped up she looked up at me I couldn't read her face. She looks sad, but she looked happy. Was it fake happiness?
Did I make her uncomfortable?
Finally finished up with breakfast I wanted to do something I didn't want Emma to be alone with the thoughts. What's a good distraction?
"What should we do now guys?"
"I don't know about you guys, but I have homework" Ethan said
" I think we all have homework dumbass" Rachel replied
"Not Blondie she's all caught up right?" I smiled.
" maybe"
"Yeah, we should all probably grab our shit and go home to do schoolwork" collie laughed
" But I don't wanna"
"Sean stop whining"
A few hours past it was just me and Emma was sitting on the couch drawing together surprisingly. Zoe was going to get dropped off in an hour. After everyone left me and Emma cleaned up the mess and then decided to draw together I didn't make her eat lunch. I knew breakfast was hard enough. I wonder if there's anything else she's keeping from me.
How can I let her go back to that house?
Is she gonna start coming back to school and not talking to anybody anymore? Are the bruises gonna get worse? Is she gonna lose more weight?
I swear I haven't worried about anybody this much since Zara
There were so many questions that I didn't have any answers to, and I didn't like that, I didn't like not being in control
It made me feel weak.
