Young Love

"Just ask him," I said to myself as we walk through the mall. "It's Erin- with Alex!" I hear someone yell. I look back to see 5 girls and 2 boys running our way. "Y'all are too famous for me to hang around," Crystal said waving us off and walking into Playmakers.

Alex and I just laughed. "Who do we have here?" Alex asked the girls. "I'm Kaylah, this is Alexis, Miley, Sidney, and Bianca," the girl said. "Rude, you didn't mention our names. I'm James and this is Malici" the boy said.

"That's my brother name!" I say to them and they all say "we know". "Oh, sorry," I say looking back. We took pictures and gave autographs to them. "Can you guys do me a huge favor?" I ask them. "Sure. Anything for #Erixander" Bianca said. I winced.

"I need you to drag my friend to this spot," I said to them. They ran into Playmakers and came out with a shoeless Crystal. "I freaking hate y'all," she said to me and Alex. We just laughed. "Dang, who peed in your cereal," I said to her. She rolls her eyes and walks back to Playmakers. I give the fans one last hug and leave into Playmakers.

"I'm getting these, right now," I said picking up the shoe and going to the counter to ask for a size 7. I try them on. "Perfect!" I screech."We can do a twin outfit for dinner" Sam said. "Yeah, get the shoes," I told her. Alex followed behind me. "Dinner?"

He asked me. "Yes Dinner, did I stutter," I said rolling my eyes. He stops in his tracks. "I'm kidding, dang, who peed in your cereal," I said. "You say that a lot, you know," he says to me. I wave him off. "I know what I say, don't need to point it out pretty boy," I said winking. He gives me a face that says 'stop'.

"Aw, is someone getting offended," I say in a pouty voice. "Seriously Erin, stop," he said clenching his fist. I pushed on. "Or what. Is the pretty boy going to run away from me" I say smirking. He walked away. "Told you so, pretty boy," I say keep pushing on.

He walks back toward me, getting really close. "Stop it, I'm so serious Erin, your really pushing your luck," he says to me. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him until we were centimeters apart. "I say what I want and do what I want, I will treat you like my enemy if I wanted to. So do me a favor and watch your back around me" I say to him. I push him away and walk over to Crystal trying on the same shoes.

He stood there, in a shook state. "Er, what did you do?" She said giving me a look. "I may or may not have threatened him," I said looking at my shoes. "Erin! What did you say!" She whisper yelled at me. "I told him if he got in my face again I would treat him like 'one of my enemies'" I said not making contact. I look over at Alex, then Crystal. "I know, I know, an apology is needed in this situation," I said getting up.

I walk over to Alex. He looks up at me. "Listen, I'm sorry. I got a little carried away with my words and I would never think of you as anything other than a boy-best friend" I say correcting myself. "I accept your petty little apology, it was cute," he said to me.

"And you see why I cussed your stupid self out in the first place, you are ignorant," I say walking out of the store. I got in my car and gps'd my way home. "Siri, delete 'Alexander' number out my phone," I say to my phone. I really need my mom.

Madison's POV (Erin's mom)
I was unpacking glasses when I heard Erin stomp in the house. 16-year-olds, well in her case 15 but soon to be 16. "MOM! I need you" she called out to me. "In the kitchen sweetie," I yelled to her. "Where the heck is that" she yelled back. "Once you walk in, you turn the corner and walk down the hall, turn left into the kitchen" I yelled at her.

She eventually made her way to me. "Do I walk over dad, he just makes me mad sometimes. He is always on Malici's side like I don't even exist. It's really annoying" she says to me.
