His lips were soft and plump and he grabbed onto my waist. I finally broke it off.

"Well..." I said giggling.

"Karlie I know we don't know each other well but I really like you"

"I like you too" I said.

"Your beautiful"

"No I'm not" I said, hiding my face.

"Yes you are" he said, kissing my cheek and then his mother called him. He waved goodbye and hurried off. I sat on the swing.

Rob. Me. Rob. Me. Rob and Karlie. It sounds good.

Some people came up to me and asked how I was and how my mother and father was. I answered politely, not giving enough information for it to be gossip.

When I saw the time, I knew it was time to leave. I was leaving the backyard until I heard my name being called. This time, I turned around.

It was Rob.

"Hey" I said, blushing.

"Hi so you want to talk?" Uh oh. He's probably going to tell me the kiss was a mistake. That it was by accident and he doesn't feel that way.

"Um sure" I replied.

"So, um this is a little awkward."

"Yep" Here it comes.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" girlfriend?? Was I hearing wrong. I was15 and I have never been someones girlfriend.

"Sure" I said, smirking.

"Great"

"Ok we'll I guess I'll talk to you soon" I said walking to my house. I had walked fast to get out of the awkward situation.

"You wanna go to the movies this Friday?" he shouted back at me.

"Yeah, I'd like too" I shouted back.

No kiss. No pressuring. I still blushed. I still felt happy. I felt consumed with a good feeling of someone needing me.

My father was still passed out. I just cleaned up the puke and hung out in my small room. My walls were a light pink, the color it was when my father painted it the first time. My small twin bed was in the corner of the room and there was just a dresser. I shoved my old clothes in the hamper and sat on my bed.

I inhaled. Then I exhaled. This was me. This is all that I will ever be. I heard the doorbell ring and jumped up to get it.

"Hello"

"Hi" It was my mother in a red trench coat with a pair of black pumps. Her blonde hair was in a bun and she light eye shadow on. Her lips were the perfect shade that matched her coat.

"Come on let's go" she said after seeing my father on the couch.

"Ok" I said, grabbing the only purse I owned and a $20. I wanted to seem responsible and money wise.

I got into her 2014 black mustang.

"So tell me everything" she said in an excited voice.

"Mother, I have a boyfriend" In one year, it felt like we had seen each other every day. She was my lifeline. She was my hope. I wanted to grow up and be exactly like her.

"OMG name" she said while starting the engine. I knew we were going shopping. We'd either go to museum, restraunt or the mall. Usually we could fit all into the day.

"Robert" I said, giggling.

"Yummy. I have some very very fun and important news." she seemed like my best friend since she was so young.

"What is it?"

"I'm saving it till later. Today we have a very jam packed day. First Le Chatux then we are going shopping. Next your going to meet your grandparents and then your surprise."

"My grandparents?"

"We'll my parents but your grandparents"

"I thought they didn't want to see me"

"We'll they do now"

"Really?"

"Absolutely" I was stunned. Shocked. Excited. Nervous. All at once, hundreds of emotions stormed my defense lines. Those people had destroyed my chance at a happy childhood. I could never forgive them.
