My Darling ♥

chapter 6

It was 1:37, everyone was here and waiting for Emily. When she got home the plan was that everyone would hide in the backyard while I take her upstairs to her room. Then, I do get makeup and make her put on a cute dress. When were done with that we go back down stairs and Jonas would play some music in the backyard and when she hears it everyone will pop out and yell 'SURPRISE!!!'. the plan was fool proof.

"Hey Lizzy!!" someone yelled. I looked around the room and my eyes landed on a girl smiling and waving at me. I mentally cursed at her but a smile occurred on my face anyways.

"Oh, hey Jeanette" I said trying to make my tone sound a lot less annoyed than I was. I failed, but she still walked in my direction.

"This party is awesome!" she said.

"uhh,  it hasn't started yet"

"oh yeah! haha I knew that!"

"of course you did"

"I did!"

"yeah, okay. well, I got to go check on everything and make sure that everything will be perfect when Emily arrives"

"Everything is perfect! you gotta stop stressin' girl!"

"yeah, I guess you're right"

"of course I am! .. I'm always right"

"yeah, okay"

"Hel-lo ladies!" my friend Josh says walking up to us and playfully slinging his arm over my shoulder.

"heyy"

"Mrs. Morgan wants to see you in the kitchen a.s.a.p." he says.

"okay" I said beginning to walk away but Jeanette's voice stops me.

"what does she need?" she asked.

"she wants help with the cake, you know.. frosting, sprinkles, candles. that sort of stuff"

"oh, okay. well I'll see you later Lizzy"

"okay" I mumble while walking away with Josh.

When Jeanette was out of earshot I thanked Josh. "Don't mention it. I know she drives you crazy. I'm sorry I didn't get there sooner".

"you got there just in time, like always. How do you come up with excuses so fast?"

He shrugs, "it's a gift".

"I'm glad it was you who got this special gift"

Josh laughed. "I know she's bad but you make it sound like she's terrible"

"well I just can't stand her, I mean didn't you hear her? 'I'm always right!' " I said mocking her voice in the perfect tone.

"yeah, I heard her. I also heard you agree with her"

"shut up"

"why don't you just tell her you don't like her?"

"I can't, you know that"

"refresh my memory"

"I don't know why, I just can't. I don't know how to explain it"

"but don't you think telling her is a lot better than pretending to be her friend?"

"well yeah but.. -"

"you do know that just because if one person doesn't like you it's not the end of the world, right?"

"geez you make it sound like I'm this selfish, insecure, bipolar bitch that can't take care of myself and tell a stupid asshole that I have particular feeling towards them"

"woah, that was deep"

I laughed and playfully smack his arm. "Its just that if someone doesn't like me I feel like something is wrong with me"

"Liz?"

"ya?"

"no one is perfect. I'm nit saying that to make you feel worse , it's just a fact"

"I know, I just.. ugh, nevermind"

"Liz? whatever it is I'm here for you"

"please, no cheesy lines from the chick flicks. Im a tomboy, I don't watch that kind of stuff"

"tomboy huh?" he says looking me up and down motioning to my dress.

"what?!"

"tomboys don't usually wear dresses"

"oh come on! it's my friends birthday and it's my favorite dress. it's my favorite color and it's loose and flowy" I say slowly spinning in a circle. "and girly girls wear heels with their dresses, I'm wearing toms"

"whatever"

I opened my mouth to say something but Jayme beat me to it. "Hey Lizzy! Can you come here please"

"sure, be right there" I shout and walk away from Josh.
