What Emerson looks like above
-----------------------------
Buzz...
I feel my pocket vibrate from a text but knowing it was probably the girls back at home I pretend I never felt the vibration then...
Buzz...
And another
Buzz...
And another
Buzz, buz, buzzzzzzzz
I stopped and remembered that that wasn't a normal text, that was from Joshua(Emerson's crush) I set that up so I would know that was him texting me. I quick scramble to find the nearest bench and sit down riping my phone out of my coat pocket.
Josie: can you rethink this we think your making the wrong decision
I roll my eyes and move on
Ashley: hey girl what's up your stepmoms texted me
Oh so they have her traped in the idea of getting me back its my own decision
Ashley: come over let's talk about this, please I don't what you to leave your my only friend.
I'm her only friend pff ya right she ditches me almost everyday to hang out with her other friends in not going to believe that stuff.
Finnaly the last text I open it and see a jiant paragraph... I swear if he is going to try get me to come back too I am going to scream.
Joshua: hey Emerson so uh... Ashley texted me saying something about you leaving and parents and 16 and some other stuff and no I'm not trying to tell you to come back, to start I know you like me
I feel the blushing heated feeling in my cheeks.
I kinda like you too you see I have liked you since we first met you know in 5th grade we were working on that project you thought I had codies so would try stay away from me as much as you could, lol
I felt a slight chuckle come out.
But to get to the point I don't want you to stay if you want to go, if I were you I would go so take my word and go maybe when you get back I can bring you on a date :)
Reading that, I could hear his soft deep voice like he was standing and reading it to me, I look up to see a recognizable red Honda civic parked a few feet from were I was sitting, the next thing I know I feel a person sit beside me slightly turn my to see if I were to recognize the stranger beside me, seconds later I realize he was no stranger he was Joshua, with his jet black hair,tall slim body, dressy style he was perfect. He looked over at me and smiled and I smiled back, then out of nowhere he pulled out a large boucay of pink and white roses.
"So what about that date?" He says with a wide happy grin on his face, I chuckle
" well can I find my real mother first since that was the deal in the first place " he smiled handed me the flowers and gave me a kiss on the cheek and was gone before I knew it.
I stayed at the bench for a while not knowing what to do, I was always bad at making choices and when some people I love are saying to stay and others are telling me to go it makes if 10× harder to choose.
After sitting at the side of the road for 30 min wondering if this is a good idea I finnaly take Joshua's advice and grab a taxi. After living in new York city for most of my life and useing taxi's to go any where I was pritty good at fetching cabs. I call one over as a young boy about my age comes running in my direction,
"Can, I take, this, cab with you, I have been trying, to get one, all day" he says out of breath.
I couldn't say no he was a gorgeous looking man with a muscular toned body fluffy blond hair and bright green eyes I sighed.
"Uh hello may I take this cab with you" I snapped back out of day dreaming,
" oh yes sorry you may" I stepped in and slid to the opposite side of the cab and he hoped in after me and shut the door.
"Where are you heading too" I ask him.
"Well at the moment I don't really know so I'll go where you go" I give a small smile to him and he gives a wink back.
We sit and stare at each other for a while as we get interuptwd by the taxi driver.
"So are we actually going to go somewhere are are you guys going to sit there and learn about each others live while I waist my time?" I look down at my duatang and finnaly answer.
"We are heading to 118 maralin street California please."
"Well you must have one good gentleman getting you thies flowers" I quickly stare down towards the flowers, I almost forgot about this.
"Oh no we are not dating he just gave me those because I was leaving... As a gift sorta thing I guess."
We sit in silence for about 20 minutes when he finnaly spoke up.
" I never accualy got your name"
" I'm Emerson"
" well that's one I have never heard before its really nice, oh and my name it Jacob " I have always loved that name it was always in books I've read or movies I've watched.
"Wait, why are you comming with me, like do you have some where you have to be?" I question him. He looks up at me with his eyes full of water, he moves his hair out of his forehead to show a giant bruse on his hair line,
"My father when I was nine pased away so my mother got a new boyfriend, he was a cop but because he could get away with anything pritty much he shot my mother and would beat me every day. So I finnaly took the guts to run away" I could see the fear in his eyes and a tear run down the side of his face at that moment I was close to tears as well.
"What about you why you going so far from home you must of run away also" I stopped there not knowing if I wanted to tell him when I like just meet him, I look over at him seeing him patiently waiting to hear my story, I take a breath and let it out.
"Well, I was an adopted child" I was starting to breath faster and faster.
"I was told the other day because of my rare case of autism I am not supposed to live past my 16th birthday so I'm going to find and meet my real mother before I, go" not knowing how he was going to react I slowly rase my attention to him to see him in tears.
"Wow that makes my story seam like nothing" he says, we both stop to a sound of sobbering but knowing it wasn't either of us we slowly turned our heads to the driver who was still driving while staring back at us.
" you guys are so touching " the driver explains kinda accwardly.
"THE ROAD" I hear Jacob scream, I look up to see us in a different lane with a car feet from us.
