Another day, another morning, but this day feels different. I got ready this morning, same routine as usual but there is this feeling inside me that I just don't know how to deal with. I arrive at school hoping to see him. And there he was with Rowan and Peyton. I didn't feel scared nor shy, I just rocked up to them like it's normal, "Morning guys." Rowan gives me a quick hug, "Morning Sabby!" Corey approaches me and hugs me, to my surprise it felt rather nice. He was warm and it was comforting. He pulled away but had his arm around my shoulders. It didn't feel weird or uncomfortable. It just felt normal to me like we've known each other for so long. He glances down at me and smiles warmly, sending butterflies in my stomach.
Corey's POV
I take Sabrina away from Rowan and Peyton, she looks up at me confused. "Corey what are you doing?" I made sure no one was close around, "Sabrina... do you wanna hang out this Saturday night at the Diner around... 7?" She steps away from me and leans on the brick wall. "Is Corey Fogelmanis asking me out on a date?" I start stumbling with my words, "No... I mean yeah but not in... well... sorry I..." She starts laughing and grabs my arm, "I'm joking jeez, and yes I would love to hang out this Saturday." I look at her happily, "Really?" She gives me a straight face, "No Corey no, I do not want to hang out with you." She crosses her arms across her chest and pouts sadly. I start to play along, I go on my knees and beg, "Oh no! Please give me a chance. Please Miss Carpenter I'll do anything." She snickers and bends down to my level placing a hand on my shoulder. "I pity you Sir... I guess I could go this Saturday," She lifts my chin, "Good boy." And pats me on the head. I roll my eyes at her playfully, "Come on we've got class."
I guess we were friends, really close friends. I hope to be more than friends, I want us to mean something.
Sabrina's POV
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday went by pretty quickly. It was a cool Saturday evening and I was excited for tonight. I'm not sure if it's a date or we're just hanging out... as friends but it was another great way to talk more. I rampage through my suitcase trying to find the best outfit. One after another I try on different tops, shirts, jeans, shorts, leggings and shoes. I look around me and my room looks like a tornado flew in. I look at the time 6:15pm, damn I need to find a outfit quickly. Then I found a light pink flamingo printed long sleeve. I guess this could work with my black ripped jeans and boots. I quickly got dressed:

I look at myself in the mirror, I guess this is alright. 6:40pm I got time to get there. I grab my purse and phone and I was out the door.
Corey's POV
I admire myself in the mirror, running my fingers through my hair. When there was a knock at the front door. It couldn't be Sabrina because I told her to meet me at the diner and secondly she doesn't know where my place is. I open the front door and there stood Emily in tears. "Emily what are you doing here?" She sobs, "My parents were fighting again and I just needed some place safe to go..." She cries more, I let her in the house and led her to the couch in the living room. As soon as I sat down next to her she lunges at me towards my chest and cries. Soaking my shirt, great. "Em, I'm sorry. You shouldn't deserve what you're going through." She manages to face me, "It's just they're constantly fighting, arguing and shouting. Even at me when I try to stop them... I want it to stop." I look at her with sympathy, I really did feel sorry for her.
Sabrina's POV
I arrived at the Diner 5 mintues early than the time we were suppose to meet up. I sit down at one of the booths near the window, the waiter comes up to me and ask if I wanted anything but I kindly rejected and said I was waiting for a friend.
30 minutes later after the time we were meant to meet up and he still hasn't arrived. I glance at my phone to check the time, 7:31pm. I take a quick scan around the diner but he's nowhere to be seen. Maybe he's just caught up with something, I'll wait a little longer. He'll come.
Corey's POV
Surprisingly she was telling me everything, about the things that have been happening in her household. We ate snacks and drinks and just continued to talk about her situation. All I needed to do was to comfort her.
Am I forgetting something? Not sure.
Sabrina's POV
It's been an hour, I tried calling his hpone but it seems that it's off. Where could he be? The waiter came the forth time and asked if I needed anything. After sadly rejecting him three times I finally ordered small fries and a vanilla shake.
I eat my fries slowly, honestly I was feeling kind of lonely. I was starting to worry, did he forget? No he wouldn't... he arranged this. Where are you Corey?
Corey's POV
She stops talking and just looks at me. "Emily, are you okay?" She doesn't say anything and leans in closer towards me and kisses me on the lips. "Emily!" I push her back, when I did that she looks like she was about to cry again. Man, I hate it when girls cry. So I gave in, I kiss her softly and then we were kissing in sync. I have this sick feeling inside that I'm forgetting something but this moment with Emily seems to overcome the feeling. Man what's wrong with me...
Sabrina's POV
Two hours has passed and people have come and gone in the diner. The waiter comes up to me for the last time asking if I wanted more food or drinks. "No, can I just have the bill..." I feel tears swell up in my eyes, I didn't want to blink but I didn't want to look vunerable either. I quickly pay for the my meals and left the diner. Corey never showed up, my heart aches. Tears start slowly flowing down my cheek. I ran home, I just want to get home.
Luckily, my parents were not at home. I shut the door of my room and cry on my pillow, soaking it.
This chapter seems all over the place but yeah had to get both perspectives. I said it would be longer but oh well. Hoped you liked this chapter. The next one is coming soon. xoxo
