Blue eyes and the key

First date?

"Dad?" I said while answering the phone.
"Are you almost here?... ok see you soon." I hung up the phone and stood on the curb waiting for my dad to pick me up.
'I wonder what Collins is up to' I thought.
I opened snap chat and... Holy cow!
There was a picture of Collins shirtless and Taylor in some sports bra.
I was disgusted and disappointed with Collins.
Just then I saw dads car pulling up. He popped he trunk and I put my luggage in it.
"I'm so glad to be home." I said while sighing with relief.
"So... what happened with you and Collins?" He asked.
"I don't want to talk about it!" I snapped.
"Ok that's fine. I get it, it's personal." He said while patting me on the shoulder.
I didn't talk to him the rest of the car ride.
When we got home I went straight to my room. It wasn't the room I remember growing up with... what happened to it?
I took out my pictures and art stuff and displayed them in my room. It was starting to feel more like my room. I felt my phone buzz so I pulled it out of my pocket. My heart almost stopped... it was a text from Bailey. I didn't actually think she was going to text me!
B=Bailey
D=Devan

B - hey Devan! So do you think it would work to go get coffee tomorrow morning... or is that too soon??
D - no that's perfect! What time?
B - 10?
D - yea that works!! See ya then!
B - see ya!😃

Wait... was this a date?! Was this going to be my first date?! No Devan it's not a date stop being so stupid! This is a friend get together. But I really want to believe it's a date. I jumped on my bed. Ok this is a fresh start. I better not screw it up. I don't have Collins telling me what to do all the time. I'm an adult and I can make my own decisions.

The next morning I got up. I felt excited, I walked to the bathroom and did my business, and brushed my teeth. I looked at the time, 9:20. I walked out into the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Dad asked.
"I have to be somewhere at ten."
"Well where are you going?" He asked again.
"Just somewhere." I said trying to avoid the question.

When I arrived at the coffee shop I saw Bailey sitting in a bench, looking at her phone. I quickly got out of the car and walked over to her. It was a little awkward.
"Hey Devan!" She said with excitement.
"Hey!... lets go get some coffee." I opened the door for her and she walked in.
"Hi I'll have a almond milk iced caramel macchiato." She said smiling.
"And I'll have one of those too please."

"Ok that's $9.84." The tired cashier said. I handed her my debit card.

Once we got our coffee we sat down at a table and started talking.
She had to take a quick phone call so I opened up Snapchat, and saw yet another dirty picture of Collins and his girlfriend. I was mad. I felt like I should tell Bailey, well not should. I just felt comfortable around her. I feel like we get along really well and I fell like I've known her forever.
Once she came back the first thing she said to me was "Are you ok?"
"Yea... I'm fine."

"Are you sure. You seem upset all of the sudden." She said with a caring tone in her voice.
I showed her the picture of Collins and Taylor. "This is my brother and his girlfriend he hid from me for 4 months. She would come over to our apartment and do... stuff. Ya I know gross. He told me to get out of his life and he told me to kill myself.."

"I'm so sorry Devan! Please do not do what he says. Please don't kill yourself. I honestly feel like this is the start of a great relationship." She said grabbing my hands.
