EMMAS POV.
Days had gone by super quickly when I had Aaron to keep me company! He was an amazing soul. We laughed we cried. And it didn't feel weird at all!
I was now out of my wheeling chair which is amazing, I can get to shower! Finally. And I can sleep in peace without Caspar always waking me up with his loud foot steps in the middle of the night because he had had a nightmare and wanted company cause Joe kicked him out of his room.

I was getting ready for me and Aarons date and I wasn't feeling anxious at all, which let's be honest is something new.
But I guess it's because I just feel so comfortable around him that I don't need to worry about anything anymore. But I was still quite nervous

I was down in me and Joe's shared bathroom. I had picked out an outfit and since it was fall nearly winter, I went with a coral like sweatshirt and some black leggings. I paired it with some white knee high socks and some high brown boots. And to top it all off I put on a white scarf.

I was currently just doing my makeup. I didn't wanna go all out since it's just Aaron and he wouldn't care anyways!

Joe came in looking at his phone, only wearing some shorts.
He looked up, kind of schocked to see me, he then eyes me from head to toe before saying.

"Damn! You look hot!"
I was kind of embarrassed by his comment and I could feel my blood running to my cheeks.
"Well thanks! You don't look too shappy yourself." I said.
He just laughed it off and went to pee.

I hurried out of the bathroom getting my hair brush. By the time I was done I could hear the toilet flush.

I went into the bathroom again. And Joe turned to leave.
I then just brushed my hair, kind of leaving it wavy.
I was ready for my date.
-------
Joe being as nice as he is decided to drive me to the restaurant where I was told by Aaron to meet him. It was about half an hour away in car.

"Sure your ready for this."
"Yea? Why shouldn't I be?"
I asked looking at him confused.

"Well it's just that everything that happened in your past! I just don't wanna see you get hurt."
I could see it took him a lot of effort to say that, but he really meant it.

"Hey! I won't. I will be very careful. And hey, it's Aaron you know him! He's a good guy."

"Yea I know. Just wanna be safe. By the way I will be at the starbucks we were at all that time ago! I will be there and you can give me a call anytime! Okay!"

"Yea yes Joe. Got it! Now can we turn up this music or are u some old man in the 90's!Get the music PUMPIN!!"

He laughed but then decided to turn up the music.
And it was Worth It by Fifth Harmony that was playing! Which is one of my ultimate faves! We were singing and screaming from the top of our lungs.
------
As Joe pulled into the parking area at the restaurant I saw Aaron sitting on the stairs with roses in his hands. I looked at him in awe which Joe seemed to notice since he went
"AWWWWE!!" With a gurlish tone, teasing me...
I smacked his shoulder said goodbye and went to join Aaron. He quickly saw me and got up and came over to me and kissed me on the cheek.

"I got these for you." He said in a cute tone.
I said thanks and let him continue.
"You look adorable!" He said in a surprising voice.
"Well thank you!" I then said and laughed a little.
We walked inside and the waiter lead us to our table. He placed down the menu in front of us and we started looking for something to eat.

"Anything that pleases the lady?" Aaron then said in a very formel tone.
"Well thank you for asking my dear gentleman! I'll just stick with a chicken salad." I then said giggling.

"Fair enough." The waited then came to our table to take our orders.
"A chicken salad and a steak with mashed potatoes please." He then looked at me. "What do you want to drink?" And I simply answered "Just a water please." The waiter then looked at Aaron and asked him the same.

I don't know why.. i just felt kind of bad in my skin. My insecurities were kind of showing and I really don't know why. This is the right thing for me. I just need to convince myself. That's why i only ordered a salad. Normally I'm a fries girl.

We were talking the night away. And it got me a lot more comfortable! It felt nice. But still like it wasn't right. I don't know what has gotten into me. I was so crazy about him in the hospital. Was it the meds?

But I should give him a chance! Maybe it will change at some point. Aaron convinced me to let him pay the bill so i let him. I didn't have any money to do it either way. But Joe leant me some cash to pay for my meal. But now I didn't have to. Thankfully cause then i don't owe anything to anyone.

I texted Joe that we were done and that I just wanted to go home.
"Well this was nice. I've got your number! Let's hang out again!" I said trying to be nice! And i really wanted a relationship with him. Just maybe not as a girlfriend/boyfriend maybe just a friendship.

--------
We said our goodbyes and hugged it out. Just the perfect timing as I saw Joe pull up in the parking lot. I got inside the car and let out a huge breath of air.

"Was it that awful?" Joe said jokingly.
"No. But it just didn't really feel right. Believe me he's an awesome dude but i don't know if he's anything for me."

"Well maybe he isn't the right one for you then." Joe said looking at me.
"Yea.. you're probably right." I said, he was still just looking at me.
"Hey. Boy eyes on the road."
I laughed.

I then head the intro to Ironic by Alanis Morissette playing quiet. I turned up the volume and started jamming out with Joe.
"AN OLD MAN TURNED NINETY-EIGHT!....."

He looked at me smiling. Ironic still playing in the background. Was this a sign?
