Loved by Tate Langdon

Chapter 24

"Oh my god. I had no idea that it was our 1 month.. I'm so sorry. But, you didn't have to get me anything." I said slowly grabbing the box and paper out of his hand.

"Its okay. I know you've been having a hard time lately, I don't blame you for not knowing. And I wanted to get you it. Open the paper, I apologize for it sucking, I haven't written in so long." he told me smiling, walking inside, shutting the door behind him.

I smiled and opened up the paper. It was a poem.

It read:

"You're the only one I need,

Come dance with me, I will lead.

I wont ever let you fall,

Whatever you do I will love it all.

You are always the one to make me smile,

Because I am sad every once in awhile.

I used to be a suicidal mess,

All alone, and depressed.

But, then you came and changed it all,

Because of you, I stand tall.

Before I met you I thought "I cant do this"

But, now you're here and now I can,

So happy one month, Paris. <3

Love, Tate."

I smiled and said, "Awe that's so cute."

He blushed while smiling and looked down at his feet.

I then opened the box and it was a keychain. It was a silver Eiffel Tower.

I giggled at how cute that was, him getting me a key chain with the Eiffel Tower on it and my name being Paris.

"Thank you." I said, standing on my tip toes to give him a hug. When we pulled apart from the hug I checked my phone and it was 6:56.

"C'mon. We're gonna miss the bus." I told him grabbing my bag. He opened the door for me and I smiled walking out of it.

As we were walking to the bus stop, I was trying to put the key chain on the ring of my strap. I finally got it when we arrived to the bus stop.

The bus was 2 minutes late. When it finally arrived we hopped on. I sat next to him in the back, like always.

A Few Hours Later

*5th period*

I'm in history class right now. I have to use the restroom so I raise my hand. My sleeve slipped down a little bit revealing some of my bruises and burns. I didn't realize until i put down my arm when the teacher called on me.

My heart quickly dropped and i ask, "May I use the restroom?"

The teacher hesitated before answering, "Yes."

I got up and walked out into the hallway. I let out a huge breath i was holding in.

"I hope she didn't realize"  i thought in my head as i was walking down the hallway to the restroom.

Whenever I got back into the classroom, i sat down in my seat. The teacher watched my every move the whole rest of the class.

The next period was lunch. When the bell rang i rushed out of class. I really wanted to tell Tate that i think the teacher noticed, but he didnt even know that I hurt myself again.
