It was Thursday and I don't know if I want Alex to know a little bit about my past.
"Grace? Yeah, can you come over? I need some advice" I say over the phone
Luckily she was able to come over, she know a lot about whats happened and I really need her advice cause I can't just ask my mom about these things cause she wouldn't believe me.
"Hey what's wrong?" Grace walks in
"Can we sit outside?" I ask, putting my jacket on "So, Alex asked me out on a second date an-"
"Oh my god! I knew it!!" She squealed
"Grace! Calm down, I need some advice okay, I'm scared. He doesn't know about well, my past and I'm scared he'll just be like 'ew she's different and sad. I can't deal with a depressed freak!'" I look down at my lap "I really like this guys Grace, I know I just met him but I'm scared." I sigh
"Well, if he doesn't accept you for your flaws and everything, then he's not worth it. We'll have your back no matter what, trust me. You know we'll kick some butt is anyone hurts you Autumn." She pulls me into a hug "But just wait till you know he's going to stay" She confirms
"Thank you" I hug her
Saturday:
Okay, well it's dinner. What do I wear to dinner?! I need it to be long sleeves! Ugh!
I text Grace to help, she ends up bringing a dress for me to borrow to see if I liked it, it was a dark green dress that went maybe an inch above my knee thankfully. I had cuts and scars on my thighs that I wanted to hide, I really liked the dress so I went with it, Grace picked out my shoes I should wear which were some cute booties that I forgot I had.
My hair was left down, I had a necklace that my mom gave me and a ring that was my grandmas on. "You look so gorgeous Autumn" Grace smiled
"Thank you, you're a life saver" I laughed lightly
There was a knock at the door, causing my stomach to automatically be filled with butterflies.
"I finally get to meet him!" Grace squeals
"Oh hush" I giggle
I walked out into the living room where Alex and my mom were talking, his eyes met mine and it felt like it was for forever
"Wow" He spoke "You look-"
"Crazy, I know" I look down at my outfit
"Beautiful, you look beautiful" He smiles
"Ahem" Grace 'coughs' to get my attention
"Oh, this is my best friend Grace, she helped with my outfit for tonight"
"You must be Alex, I've heard a lot about you" She says making me want to face palm myself
"Well I hope it's all good things" He shakes her hand
"Well of course" She smiles, embarrassing me
"You two should hurry along then, Grace and I will most likely stay up and watch some TV or something until you get home. You two be safe, I love you Autumn" My mom says as we make our way to the door
"I love you too" I smile as Alex and I leave the house
"So, your friends heard a lot about me?" Alex chuckles which causes my face to turn red
"Yeah... I told her that you were pretty amazing actually"
Where the hell did that burst of confidence come from?
