Fall Out Girl: May 3rd, 2014

Devyn Cheng

I threw my keys on the table by the front door and made a beeline for my room. I had worked shifts at both of my jobs today and I was ready to sleep. I didnt even want to eat dinner at this point.

"Hey!" Eva yelled at me from her room.

I waved at her quickly and went into my own. I hadn't really said much to her over the past week or so. I wasn't in the mood to talk.

I looked over at the dozens of more flowers I had received and chuckled. The sender was still a mystery.

i instantly grew annoyed when she knocked on my door. Against my better judgement, I opened it. "Yes?"

She smiled. "Hey are you okay? You haven't said much lately. Just want to know if there's anything wrong."

I sighed. "I've been okay. Just not really in the mood to talk."

She stared at me for a while. "You're lying. Whats wrong?" she said and sat on my bed.

I stared at her for a while, debating on whether or not I wanted to tell her. Finally I gave in, "Promise you wont tell anybody?"

"Promise" she nodded.

"There's this guy, and I really, really, really like him, but he's interested in someone else right now. He was interested in me but I ruined it. Now I don't know what to do" I smacked my forehead.

"Well, for starters, how did you ruin it?" she asked me.

"He confessed his feelings to me and I keep ignoring how he feels about me. I'm just really scared that he might hurt me if we get into a relationship" I admitted.

"Devyn, not every guy is your dad" Eva chuckled.

"I know."

"No. You don't know Dev. You're holding what your father did to your mother over the head of every guy that wants you. Its not okay" she said to me.

"I know, I know. How do I turn it off?" I asked.

"Well start by telling this guy what he means to you, which he obviously means a lot if you're this distressed over him" she said to me.

I nodded. "I'll definitely do that. Thanks" I hugged her. She smiled and got up. "Here to help whenever you need me. Now excuse me, I have to go finish binging Pretty Little Liars."

I laughed and laid back on my bed getting comfortable before grabbing my phone and sending out a text.

To: Big Baby J🙄
Hey, are you busy?

I turned on the tv and watched CatFish as I waited for a response. My phone chimed and I quickly snatched it up.

From: Big Baby J🙄
Why? Whats up?

To: Big Baby J🙄
I really want to talk to you, if thats okay?

From: Big Baby J🙄
About?

I sighed and tried to figure out what to say.

To: Big Baby J🙄
Us.

Everything felt slow-mo as the dots popped up and I waited for Justice to finish typing his message.
