After school she went home, and worked on homework. Her phone's screen lit up.
320-539-7386
Hey, I really am sorry about earlier.
4:30 pmHow did you get my number?
4:30 pmThrough a lot of research
4:32 pmWell I forgive you, but forgetting is
much harder than forgiving
4:33 pmI know how you feel
4:33 pmNo you don't. No one does.
4:35 pmShe then powered off her phone. She knew Jem felt bad, but she really didn't want to talk to anyone right now. And in all honesty she felt really guilty. And that's all it took. That one thought for her to power on her phone and send one message.
Jeremy
I really am sorry too
4:40 pmYou and me both
4:41 pmShe sat staring. She wasn't sure what to do. So she tried making the conversation a little less awkward.
Jeremy
So I know I'm a pain, but
do you want to play a game?
4:50 pmThat depends, what game do you have in mind?
4:52 pm21 questions?
4:52 pm. . .
Unless you aren't up to
the challenge? :P
4:55 pmNo, I'll play
4:55 pmYes! I'll ask 1st
Are you the oldest?
4:56 pmNope, my turn
Are your parents divorced?
5:00 pmYep, are yours?
5:00 pmNah, do you honestly
forgive me for earlier?
5:02 pmPass, we each get
three, how many pets
do you have?
5:04 pmNo that's not how the game
works, no passes.
5:05 pmFine, I forgive you for
the most part.
5:07 pmOkay, I have 1 cat and 2 dogs,
why do you cut?
5:08 pmIt gives me relief, and it's
become habit, why do you?
5:10 pmSame reason, but I'm
only going more into
detail if you do.
5:13 pmI cut whenever I hurt.
I got bullied the day
I met you (a couple days
ago) and cut myself later
that night, now you.
5:15 pmI cut whenever someone
I care about gets hurt.
5:16 pmOkay, that makes sense,
in your family who's the oldest?
5:18 pmJade, she's my sister, and a
year older than me, how about
your family?
5:20 pmI am oldest, but I have to go eat,
brb.
5:25 pmK bye
5:25 pmShe shut off her phone and went upstairs to eat. When she came back down stairs her phone lit up.
Jeremy
Are you back yet? I'm bored
:P
6:00 pmLol yeah, just got done eating.
6:05 pmNice
6:05 pmYeah, anyways, do you like school?
6:06 pmOnly if a certain person is
there, do you?
6:08 pmI hate being bullied, but school
itself isn't that bad. Who's the
certain person?
6:11 pmPass?
6:12 pmNice try
6:14 pmFine, I like you, do you like
anyone?
6:15 pmYes, why do you like me?
6:16 pmYou are pretty, and you and I are a lot
alike. Who do you like?
6:18 pmAww thanks, and I like you..
Will this make things weird/
awkward between us?
6:20 pmNot if we are dating, would you
like to be my girlfriend?
6:25 pmHer heart skipped a beat. Was he actually asking her to be his? She reread the message, and just felt so ecstatic. She couldn't believe it. She typed a message back.
Jeremy
Of course, will you treat me
like a lady?
6:27 pmI'll treat you like a princess,
what's your favorite color?
6:30 pmI'm changing the game a
little bit. I don't have a lot of
time to play, so it will be 11
questions, instead of 21. Do
you want to change your last
question?
6:33 pmOkay, and sure. If we were
older would you marry me?
6:34 pmMaybe, but it would have to
be after a lot of getting to know
you. How about you?
6:36 pmI think I would, and btw I still
have one more question left lol.
Why are you so scared of love,
Love? <3
6:40 pmBecause I don't want to be hurt,
and I don't want to hurt anyone..
6:42 pmI understand what you're
thinking, but don't be afraid of
hurting me, baby girl. You could
never do that.
6:44 pmYou'd be surprised..
6:44 pmI doubt it xD
6:45 pmgtg ttyl...
6:45 pmI swear, if you cut that
precious skin of yours,
mine will also suffer
6:47 pmRelief, habit, gtg
6:48 pm
