This is a story about Willow. She is a 15 year old girl, who is in love with music, which helps overcome her anxiety, self esteem issues and depression.
Willow's POV: I decided to text Alex and see if he wanted to go out for a while, so I found his contact and clicked on it.
W: Hey Alex, I was wondering if you wanted to go out and maybe grab a coffee? A: Hey! Yeah sure, you bringing the pup? W: No, not taking her out for a while, she had puppies on Christmas! A: Oh really? Wow! Starbucks ok then? W: Yep sure, see you at 1? A: Sound good!
Smiling, I walked over to my dressing table and sat down. As soon as I saw my reflection in the mirror, I sighed and frowned.
My hair was a mess and my freckles were starting to show more. My eyes were darker and never seemed to 'sparkle' like Elliot always said. I guess boyfriends lie every now and then to keep you happy.
Running my fingers through my hair, I picked up my hair brush to try and fix it. I brushed all the tangles out and let it fall loosely on my shoulders. It still didn't look good, but it would do.

I picked up my backpack and swung it over my shoulder. Grabbing my phone, I shouted goodbye to Sadie, and walked towards the bus stop to meet Alex.
I saw him waving in the distance and waved back. He ran towards me and hugged me. "Missed you," He smiled. "You too!" I grinned.
We walked towards the park and he led me towards the cafe where he works. We ordered a hot chocolate each and before I could pay, he placed a £5 note down and said, "My treat. "
"Let me pay you Alex, please?" I insisted. "Nope," he grinned and ran off. We sat down on a bench and drank our hot chocolate.
Time skip, 2 hours
"I should go," I said, standing up. "Yeah," We walked to the bus stop, where I hugged him goodbye.
I got home and saw it was 3:15. I jumped in the shower, and dried and curled my hair.

I put in some pearl earrings and lightly sprayed myself with perfume. Heading out the door, I grabbed my keys and bag.
We met up at the movie theatre and headed to go get some popcorn. I got a slushie and sweet popcorn and got out my purse. "Hey, I said my treat!" Elliot pouted. "Aw," I laughed as he placed a £5 note down onto the counter.

"Wow! That I was incredible," I smiled, "Thank you so much." "No problem," he replied, gently kissing me. Blushing, we walked out and walked home.
The party was already starting when we arrived back home, and Sadie was rushing around with trays of food.
"Hey," I said as I took the tray out of her hands and placed it down on the table.
Around half way through the party, Elliot pulled me aside and led my to the garden. We sat on the bench as he wrapped his arms around me. "I love you," he whispered as he placed his hand on my cheek and kissed me.
