Half Past Forever

Chapter 6

Acacias POV-

I woke up at 12:34 and i couldnt help but be surprised. I never sleep this late. I still cant believe i only have a year to live. A year. Wow. So this is what true horror feels like. Knowing when youre gonna die. When youll leave this earth forever.

Casandra texted me to meet her at Taco Bell- probably because she knows it my favorite- at 1:00. So i got dressed quickly in a salmon colored shirt, high-waisted shorts, and combat boots. The usual.

"Uh-kaysh!" is what i heard right when i walked in.

Steven Diaz. The hottie of California. Everyone knows him.

"Uh, hey. Hey, Cas! Order the usual?"

"Yep frozen baja blast and extra extra beef nachos."

"So Acacia." Steven murmured.

"So Steven." I laughed.

"So Casandra." He jokingly said.

"Shut up." I giggled.

Im gonna be honest. I probably sound really depressing. Well, what else am i supposed to do?

Steven looked so cute today. But then i remember Sam. Okaaay. Lets think about this.

Steven- Nice, cute, funny, caring.

Sam- Bipolar, cute.... and...

Steven for the win. So hey, why not get my flirt on.

"Hey Casandra wanna go get some napkins?" I winked at her. She got the message.

When i dug for my phone in my backpack, i could see Steven starring at me.

Stevens POV-

Wow. Acacia Brinley Clark. The cutie of California.

"Hey, um, do you wanna take a picture for Instagram?" i said.

"Sure!" Acacia replied excitedly.

As i got out my phone and look in the camera, i could see Acacias deep, loving eyes. Wow. Stunning.

"Are you gonna take the picture this year?" she said while nudging me.

"Oh yeah! Right. Smile!"

Acacias POV-

I sat back down after that picture to find that Sam had texted me. I put down my phone and saw Casandra was walking back to our table.

"Casandra!" I said secretly poking her.

She could tell i liked Steven.

When i went back home i noticed i had three missed calls from Sam. So i decided to call him back.

"Hello?"

"Acacia. Why wont you answer me?" he spat.

"Im not always on my phone, Sam. Im sorry."

"Alright." he said with anger in his voice.

"Dont start this again, Sam."

"Acacia, if you dont want to be with me then i can find someone else."

I know what youre thinking. "Why do they get in so many fights! Its so cheesey." Yeah, i know. im asking myself the same thing.

"Honestly, I couldnt care less if you find someone else. Because i was never your someone!" I said into the phone microphone.

No answer.

He hung up.

Sam, get over yourself.
