Hi readers! sorry to keep you waiting. Nevermind me haha Here's the update.
Chase's POV
It has been weeks. I've been with Elaine all day for the past days. I don't know what to do. When I'm with her, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
the door knob suddenly opened. It was mom.
Something bugging you sweetie? mom asked.
yeah. I uninterestedly reply. I feel like nothing. I feel emotionless. I feel like. I don't know. I just sigh as I lay at the bed lazily.
Is it with Elaine? She asked again.
Yes. No. I don't really know mom. I sigh. It's complicated. I'm so confused. I like Elaine but why do I feel like I don't.
Would you mind to share something? mom murmurd again.
I want to but I don't know how to express it. I irritatedlysay to myself. I messed my hair up.
Okay sweetie. But be sure to get dressed later. We're going to our neighbor's house. mom said.
Our neighbor's house? I said. my eyebrows met in confusion.
Yeah. Mrs. Park is right across the street. mom smiled.
I'm going to the weird girl's house? I'm quite pleased with what I heared. I just don't know how I feel about this weird girl. I guess I kinda like her? haha just thinking of her makes me smile.
Chase? why are you smiling so sudden? mom interrupted.
Oh. Did I? haha. this is an akward conversation I'm having. please help me.
Mom just looked at me as if she wanted me to pop a pea out. I can't tell her that I like the weird girl. that would be absurd!
deafening silence just filled the room.
kriiiiiiiiiiing. the oven rang.
Mom went down and left me at the room. I sigh. I'm safe.
I layed down the bed again. I looked out the window and saw the weird girl's house. I wonder what she's doing?
Peach's POV
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the TV screamed as I also laugh loudly at the joke I saw. Eating chips while watching a foreign show that I don't even understand and relying on subtitles was my only hope. yeah. that's my life during sundays.
I saw mom talking through the phone with someone. she seemed so happy.
but then it struck me.
This sight.
It's been so long since I saw mom smiling when dad left us.
When dad left us. a tear rolled down my cheek. I wiped it fast. and pretend nothing happened. I don't want mom to see me crying.
I just put on a smile and faced her.
Who'd you call mom? I asked cheerfully while eating chips.
Oh just Chase's family. she replied.
I choked a bit at what she said. I was shocked. I tried not to panic asking her why she called them. I sense something creepy happening here.
Why'd you call mom? I curiously and nervously asked.
Oh. Just invited them for dinner. Why? is that wrong? She asked again.
It's nothing. I just. Mom! you know that I. kyaaaaah. how do I explain this.
I sigh.
Mom, you know I like Chase right? I questioned mom.
Ofcourse I do. mom smiled.
You should've called Theo! I embarrassedly said. How do I deal with this problem. TT^TT yep. that's how I look like. that's an epitome. no joke.
Sweetie. I thought you'd like it. I could cancel if you want. mom pleaded.
I don't want to bring down mom's hope. I could do it. for her to be happy because happiness is seeing mom happy. that's how I love other people.
No. It's okay mom. A little dinner date wouldn't be that bad right? I said. I really do hope so.
-----hours pass by. It's now 5:30------------------------------------
Peach's POV
Are you ready dear? mom shouts outside my door. I don't really want to go outside my room. I feel nervous. I want to back out. but.
I can't.
I just let out a huge Sigh and then opened the door. Mom welcomed me out.
she smiled. You look cute honey. she said.
I really hope so mom. I said nervously. I'm really praying that I won't embarass myself today.
I just wore a blouse with a circular collar and then a skirt. just braided my really short hair then wore sneakers.
we went downstairs together and as I stepped my foot on the floor. the door bell rang. I looked at mom. I feel nervous.
she just nodded.
I gathered all my courage and faced the door. I sight. this is it.
I opened the door and greeted them.
Good evening Mrs. Johnston. I bowed.
as I stand up. Mrs. Johnstin smiled to me. everything was going fine but then our eyes met. I saw chase wearing a ragged look. he was. cool. I just froze.
Peach sweetie. Aren't you gonna greet Chase? mom asked.
Oh. H-hi Chase. I said without making eyecontact.
Yeah. Hi. he akwardly.said.
we all came to the table. Chase sat across me. It was really akward. but it was a great feeling seeing him so close.
So. how are you two doing in school? mom asked.
I looked at Chase. our eyes met again. but I looked away. I just don't want to look at him. I might freeze.
uhm.
We're... Chase interrupted.
to be continued.
