Me Without You

chapter seventeen

2:25 p.m. July 6th

I've been hanging out with Bailey for about two weeks now, and everyday is so much fun.

I can't thank her for every way she's changed my life since we met. I went from completely destroyed, not knowing where my life was going to end up, to having fun adventures with her daily.

I was smiling more, laughing more, and just wanting to live.

She would pick me up in an hour and reveal her next greatest adventure, I couldn't wait.

//Bailey's POV//

As I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling I fought with my own mind. I always thought I was straight, but I met Cassidy and that changed everything.

All I wanted sometimes was to grab this girl and just kiss her.

But she was straight I think and why would she ever love me?

I wasn't skinny enough and my eyes were a weird color that wasn't blue but wasn't grey. The freckles on my face contrasted with the pale color of my skin and my short hair was always a mess.

I walked into my bathroom and started taking off the clothes I slept in, thinking I should shower before I picked up Cassidy to go to the woods.

I looked at my half naked body in the mirror, it wasn't good enough. I wouldn't eat today.

I hadn't eaten yesterday either but I didn't care. I needed to be skinny.

After I got out if the shower and put clothes on, I put on a little bit of makeup.

I looked at the time.

12:50 p.m.

I should probably head to Cassidy's house.

//Cassidy's POV//

I sat in the kitchen with my makeup neatly done, wearing a flannel with a grey shirt underneath, denim shorts and combat boots, waiting for her to pick me up.

She pulled in a few minutes after one and I walked outside.

"So what's the plan for today?" I asked her excited to know.

"We're visiting one of my favorite outdoor places today," she said smiling, "That's why I told you to wear boots." She said looking at me, head to toe, as if surveying my outfit.

//Bailey's POV//

She was so beautiful, with her hair in a messy braid and her baggy flannel and tight grey shirt showing the curves underneath.

I looked up finally.
I shouldn't stare.

I walked to my car and she followed me. We drove to the woods and we talked about where I was taking her on the way over.

We got to the entrance to the woods. I told her this was the destination and she smiled at me, and got out of the car.
