Save (Negovanman)

Chapter 7

Currently feeling very inspired to write. You guys will be happy, I already have the next four chapters planned. Just a warning: these next sections/events will be based off of real life experiences. Not this chapter, but the upcoming ones. So like don't criticize lmao thanks.

Also chapters will probably be a little shorter, but better quality (I hope).

I can't believe this happened. You went WAY too far Elise. What were you thinking?!?

And that's exactly the problem. I WASN'T thinking. I mean seriously, it was your first date! Calm down! Well congratulations, you won't be getting a second date after today. You really fucked up this time.

I slowly begin getting dressed for my dad's. I don't want to go anymore. I'm feeling incredibly down, and I know that my company will not be very much appreciated by him while I'm in this state. I've been told by a few people that I'm not fun to be around when I'm depressed. 

While on the bus to my dad's, my mind is clouded with thoughts. Do I text her? Do I give her space? Is there even a way to fix this at all?

I draft multiple texts before finally deciding on one. It takes me a few moments to actually press send.

5:52 pm Elise: I'm so sorry. I know I overstepped. I hope I didn't upset you and that you can forgive me.

I put my phone back in my pocket and look out the window. Good job Elise, you missed your fucking stop.

I get off the bus and walk a few too many blocks before finally arriving at my dad's house. He warmly greets me at the door. We sit down and catch up a little, although answering his questions is getting a little challenging, considering all I want to do right now is crawl into a hole and die.

"So, any new boy in your life?"

I knew this question was coming. It always comes. And the answer is always the same.

"No dad, no new boy."

"You know Elise, you're getting older every second. Soon it will be harder for you to start a family!"

"You know dad, I really appreciate your concern, but I'll find someone when the time is right."

This conversation used to put me in a bad mood. Not anymore. I've gotten used to it. I know he means no harm, but it is still annoying nonetheless.

We sit down for dinner but at this point, I'm completely out of energy. I have no motivation to speak. Dinner is quiet. 

"Go home, Elise," my dad says with a frown.

"Why? We're having a family dinner."

"I can tell something's upset you and that you'd rather be in bed."

"I'm fine."

I'm fine. A simple sentence used when you are, indeed, NOT fine. 

"Go home. We'll do this another time."

I would normally insist on staying, but I know he is a stubborn man. I thank him for dinner and head out the door.

This chapter is shorter than the rest and I apologize, I promise the next ones will be really good though ;)
