Catfish

still love you - 13

"Finally!" Justin groaned as I walked out of his restroom from changing. "Hey, I'm a girl. No matter how fast we try to do things, we'd always end up slowing down." I defended. "Sorry mom." He teased and laughed. I smiled, but it quickly faded once a message from Matthew popped up from my iPhone.

Matthew: hi babygirl. I just got to the pack house and I'm safe. I want you to have fun tonight. it's all about you, not me. but make sure to text me ALL of the details. day one and I love still you.❤️

Me: hey matt. i'll make sure to have fun tonight, but not too much ;). i'm safe at justin's house and i'll text you everything that happened. day one and i love still you.

I smiled down at my phone and placed my hair in a fishtail braid. "Is this okay?" I gestured towards my outfit *in the media box*. "Fabulous!" He screeched. I laughed and slipped on my vans.

Cody: here babygirl.

Babygirl.

"Bye Justin!" I yelled as I ran outside. "Hey." Cody smiled at me. I returned the gesture and sat in his car. He grabbed my hand over the console and I allowed it. "I heard about the whole, 'Matthew thing.' I really sorry." He kept glancing over at me. "It's okay, there was nothing that you could've done." He nodded and parked in the middle of the road. Cody waked me out of the car and placed his hands over my eyes. He walked me over to a spot, then removed his hands.

I gasped from how pretty it was. There was a small waterfall attached to a clear lake. Lights were hung up on the trees and a picnic table was next to the lake. "Do you like it?" He asked. I nodded and hugged him. "Who knew that a bad boy would do this for someone?" I teased him as he blushed. He gestured for me to sit down at the table. Once I did, he brought out a picnic basket.

"What do you want to eat?" He kindly asked as he took out the food. "That." I pointed to the sandwiches and chocolate - covered strawberries. He handed me some and we ate in comfortable silence. "Tell me about yourself." We finished our food and Cody broke the silence. "Well, I'm 16. My birthday is August 20th, 1997. I love to skate, play volleyball, study astronomy, and anything that involves trying new things. I hate big bugs, the weeknd's songs, onions, and hating someone." I finally finished.

"Cool." He laughed before he took off his shirt to show it toned stomach. I bit my lip and watched as he picked me up and sat me at the edge of the lake. "You coming in?" He asked as he jumped in the water. I nodded and took my shirt and shorts off. "Damn." He bit his lip as he saw me jump in the water. "You're a horny boy." I laughed and smacked his chest. We spent that whole date making fun of each other and swimming.

"Did you like it?" Cody asked as he started driving. "No," he looked really disappointed, "I loved it." I smiled at him. He smiled back at me and drove into Justin's driveway. "Fuck." I quickly mumbled.

"What happened?"

"I forgot the keys."

"Call him."

I called him about 3 times and he wouldn't answer.

"He's asleep."

"Would you like to come over my house?"

"I don't know...we have school tomorrow."

"I have some clothes from when my cousin visited. She looks like she's about the same size as you."

"Okay, thank you."

"For what?"

"Everything."

"No problem, babygirl."

I smiled at the name and got off of the car as he pulled up towards his house. "Here is where you could sleep and I'll stay on the floor." Cody pointed to his neat bed in the room. "It's okay, I could sleep on the floor." I kindly offered. We started to argue about the room. "Okay, why don't we both sleep on the bed then?" He offered and grabbed me some clothes. "Thank you." I walked into the bathroom to change.

Once I was done, I walked out and Cody laughed at me. "What?" I placed my hand on my hip. "Nothing, you just look cute in my sweats." He lightly blushed and bowed his head. I playfully rolled my eyes and rested under the covers. Cody made sure to keep his distance on the bed until he fell asleep before I did. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close to his chest. I was forced to rest my head next to his neck and place an arm in his chest. With that position, I fell asleep right away.

"Andy, wake up. We have to go to school." I whined and pulled the covers over my head. "Okay." I finally gave in and sat up. Cody sat next to me and handed me a pop tart. "Thanks." I smiled and walked into the bathroom. There was already clothes waiting for me on the counter. I quickly slid on the oversized sweater and ripped shorts. "You look cute." Cody said as I walked out. "Thanks." I walked downstairs to grab my backpack that I accidentally forgot when I went to Taco Bell. "Let's go!" I yelled as Cody was ready and walking downstairs.

Matthew: how was the date, babygirl? did everything go okay? i miss you. day two and i still love you.

Me: the date went fine. he drove me to a small lake with a waterfall, we had a picnic, talked about ourselves, went swimming, and he took me home. that was all. i miss you so much. day two and i still love you.

Matthew: glad that you had fun. i have to go now, i have a meeting in a minute. make sure you go to school!

Me: promise.

"You okay?" Cody asked and wiped my tears. I didn't even notice that I was crying."Mhm." I mumbled and walked with him to his car. Now with Matthew gone, Cody is the only person I could look up to at school. We arrived and he walked me through the halls. We had the same classes together so I didn't have to worry about getting lost. "Thank you for yesterday." I lightly blushed. "It's okay, I had fun." He winked before he walked into the classroom.
