Okay so where to begin…. Umm I’m Super sorry for not uploading sooner. Big props to those who update at least once a week ANYWAYS as I sat down and thought about where this story is heading I realized I needed to give you guys some background information on the characters. So I’ve decided to write in the present and past tense form. I think this will help you understand why Emma is so hesitant on forgiving Caden. SO this is the first chapter I’ll be doing this in….
Big rant over! Let the story begin
2 Months before the Roadtrip
"So how was your day" asked the awkward voice in front of me. I shifted in my seat hoping that my the clock would tick faster.
"Umm fine i guess" i quickly took a sip from my drink and shoved a tortilla chip in my mouth in hopes that i wouldn't have to talk.
"Awesome" faked the voice. He glance down and took out his phone. I could tell he was probably hoping the same thing i was. I was currently stuck one a date with one a guy that my best friend Scarlett set me up on. The guy was really cute with had sandy blond hair and a dark shade of blue eyes He was really nice but there was no connection there. I didn't bother dress up. I had on a summer dress that reached just above the knee with a light touch of makeup and my hair tied up in a messy ponytail. Scarlett had tricked me into coming here because she was tired of seeing me mope around my house since it was our last summer before be start college next fall.
I was going to start conversation again with the guy named Greg- or George or G whatever i wasn't really paying attention when he introduced himself. Luckily the waitress came with our order which i was very grate full for since she broke the awkward silence that settled. She put our order on the table and as she was talking away.
"So what's your favorite color" i asked in hopes that the akward silence wouldn't settle in again and i took another sip from my drink
"blue and you?" He asked
At that exact moment my ex-boyfriend walked in with some barbie-looking girl. I ended choking and coughing on the water i was drinking.
"are you okay" Asked the guy in front of me as he tried to pat my back to stop me from coughing
"Fine, sorry" i croaked out as i tried to regrain the air in my lungs.
"are you sure?" he asked genuinely concerned
"yea thanks i feel better now " i said as as i began to blush. Only i would embarrass myself my doing something like that.
Unfortunately with all the ruckus i made people turned to see what was happening. And one of those pair of eyes just so happen to be Caden's. He quickly turn then did a double turn when he realized that was me.
I wished the earth would open and swallow me whole. Of course out of all the restaurants in New York he just happened to walk into walk this one. We stared at each other brief second before we broke contract and he looked down at the girl he had his arms around and whispered something in her ear to which she giggled.
My heart felt like it had broken all over again. I glanced down and caught the boy's bright blue eyes staring at me.
"Let me guess he's the jerk that broke your heart" He said as he took my hand in his
"how'd you know"
"Scarlett" we both replied in unison. I should have know Scarlett would have told him. Great now he must think i was some kind of emotional mess.
"Don't worry i went though a similar situtiion just a couple of months before" he said
I smiled for the first time on this date.
"I knew you were hiding a beautiful smile underneath that frown" said Garret/Greg/George. A wave of guilt washed over me. I should have payed more attention. I mentally curse at myself he was obviously a great guy and here i was hanged up on a guy that was not worth my time.
I decided in that moment that i was going to move on. Enough is enough i'm not going to waste my time over someone who obviously didn’t seem to waste anytime getting together with someone else.
"do you want to get out of here" asked the boy in front of me. He stood up and held out a hand for me to take.
I looked at our half eaten food and up at his outstretched hand.
I took his hand and stood up.
"let's get out of here" His hand instantly warmth mine and oddly i felt safe and secure. Something i haven't felt in a long time.
"By the way My made is Justin" He said as he winked at me.
A blushed made it's way to my face.
