"Mom please" I begged for the millionth time. "Please" I added softly. She sighed, a tired sigh and turned torwards me no longer giving me her back. "Emma I thought you would be excited you loved this shawn fello." "Yes mom when I was 12!" I felt old anger rising inside if me attempting to strangle me. She gave me a weary look. "So I don't see the issue here Emma." I grinned my teeth to stop myself from yelling. "The issue mother is I am not 12 I am 18!" I said putting emphasis on the word mother and issue. "I know honey"
"See that's the problem I don't think you do mom I'm your daughter for gods sake! You know nothing about me! My likes, dislikes, hobbies, but I bet you......" I laugh bitterly at my next words. "Y-you know all about your latest project at work, you and dad both leave me your daughter just like you are packing to go where? France?Germany? But it's okay leave.... You always did." I finish no longer angry but sad, hollow I always thought after I said those words to her I'd feel better.
I didn't
She looked me in the eye her blonde hair in a sleek bun not one hair out of place. She moved from the suitcase she'd been packing leaving it opened and abandoned just like me on her bed. "Emma I" her heels clicked on the mahogany floor as she stepped towards me in attempt to comfort me. I backed away. "No" I ignored the repeated calls of my name as I shut the door to her room running down stairs and grabbing my Keys. I ran to my car unlocking the door hoping inside bringing it to life and driving down the street before she could stop me because I knew she'd try. I turned on the radio to champagne by Niykee Heaton one thing I hated was silence. Silence meant thoughts and my thoughts now at days only seemed to come in unpleasant forms now at days. I parked the car turning up the radio opening my car door getting out not bothering to close it I sat on the edge of the cliff looking at the lights of the city twinkle. All the lights made me realize how cold I was in my Stanford sweater jeans and converse this was definitely New York weather just above freezing.

I love it here the lights made me feel better in a way I could never explain. You would think I'd feel smaller and maybe even helpless but I didn't. I felt whole when I came here. "Hiya" I jumped at the voice that hung in the darkness. "Calm down monkey it's me." I instantly relaxed only one person called me that. "Blake wh-" "I could ask you the same thing monkey" I didn't need to see his face to know he was smirking. "May I?" He gestured to the empty seat near me I nodded and took a seat beside me in the dirt. "You never answered my question blaccon" It was my turn to smirk at the nickname. "I'm pretty sure in here for the same reason you are." I looked at him confused waiting for him to elaborate but realized he couldn't see my face through the thick darkness that now hugged all of New York. "onwards with your explanation". "Needed air" "Oh" "Hey monkey" "Yes?" "Are you okay?" "Yea I'm fine" Am I fine? By now I realized how close we were, his arm draped over my shoulder my head planted on his hard chest. He chuckled but it was bitter. I felt the vibrations move in his chest. I looked up at him to see his blue gray orbs watching my every move as if he was sacred I'd run off. My breathing hitched at the intensity if his stare. "I thought you were better than that monkey."
"Better?....Better than what?"
"Lying"
"Blake what are you talk about?"
"Word travels em" Silence "I know it does Bla-"
"Then why didn't you tell me?!" He boomed I backed away at the sudden change of Mood and not because I was afraid of Blake but more of the topic and where this conversation was heading. "Why didn't you call me monkey?" He was whispering now as if he was asking himself instead of me. But I answered anyway. "Blake I-I didn't want anyone to know."
"Since when did I become part of anyone Emma?" He looked at me the distance between us now is my car him on one end me on another. I didn't need light to see the hurt in his eyes. "Blake you have to understand he meant so much to me how do I explain that.......to anyone?" My voice betraying me by cracking at the end.
"I know you loved him monkey" he said rounding the car engulfing my small frame in his large one rubbing my back slowly.
"Love" I corrected "What?" "I love him Blake not loved loved is past tense I will always love him."
"Em?" "Hmmm?" I rested my cheek on his chest. He grabbed my chin gently forcing me to look up at him. He leaned. My brain panicked. His minty breath fanned my now hot cheeks. Just as I got brave enough to close the gap..... "I'm the nexus!" I fumbled to push answer on my phone "hello?" "I bought you a Shawn Mendes tee for the concert!" Squealed my sister. "Where are you anyway?" I looked at Blake who was staring at me. "Ummm out but I'm on my way" "Kk" The line went dead My almost kiss with Blake wouldn't have been so almost if it wasn't for.......
