A week later, it was february 13th and I was so happy with ben.
Ben: good morning baby, hope u have an amazing day at school
Me: good morning Ben
Ben: its Friday. U wanna go to the
movies or the alley later?
Me: yea whichever u want
Ben: as u wish my dear
Me: OK I text u after school
Ben: OK babe ilysm
Me: ilym
Ben:💖💖💖

I did my makeup,crimped my hair and put on some jeans and a T-shirt.I put my vans on and walk out the door
School was boring as usual. But as soon as the bell rang I got my phone to text Ben

Me: hey babe I'm out ofschool.
Ben: great. Im leaving the gym. How
does the alley sound?
Me: great
Ben. cool. I m gonna go get a snower and get ready. And I'll pick u up in two hours from your house?
Me: yea sounds Amazing
Ben: okay babe I'll see u soon. I love u
Me: love u too

By this time Im at my bus stop.
" hey honey how was school" my mom asks
"good. Can I go hang out with friends at the bowling alley?" I ask
" do u have a ride?"
" Ben said he can come get me"
"Okay"
"Oh and can i stay with a friend tonight?"
" who" she asks.
" Im not sure yet. Either hasley or Tonya." I tell her.
" OK sure just text me and tell me which one"
" Sure thing mom"
" OK love I'm gonna go get some sleep before work"
" OK love u mom"
"love u too"

I rush to get ready. I put on a black
crop top with a fringed bottom that
hangs off both shoulders, some high
waste, mint colored shorts and my
white converse. Then I did my makeup. By this time it had been 2 hours. And Ben was usually right on time.

Ben: I'm outside
Me: be out in a sec

I grabbed my bag and left.
" hey babe" I said getting in the car. Ben leaned over
and kissed me.
"hey beautiful. I missed u today."
" im always missing u" I say.
"let's get going" as we drive I think.
What does he see? I'm fat and ugly
and nobody ever wanted me. HonestlyI dont see anything in myself I like. But Ben sees something. Whatever it is I honestly dont care cause he is all I have ever wanted. I am absolutely the luckiest girl on earth.
"babe did u even hear what I said?" I
hear.
"huh what sorry babe" "
I said. I want food. what do u want?"
" um I dont Know how about subway?" I suggest
" ok sounds good. We can get that first." After subway we went to the bowling alley. We were there for almost 3 hours. I knew something was up with Ben. He was acting weird and he was being really quiet. He was in the bathroom and I text hasley.

Me: hey
Hasley: hey
Me: can i stay the night.
Hasley: I'll ask
Me: OK
Hasley: mom said yea
Me: ok I'll be over within an hour
Hasley: OK
Me: see u soon
Hasley: OK

"babe are. u ready to go?" Ben asks
"yea. Can u take me to hasleys house?"
"of course. Are we hanging out tomorrow?"
"yea. its valentines day"
" yep. I got a surprise for u"
"OK" I stood on my tip toes to kiss him. God I love him. Igot to Hasley's house and I didnt wanna go.
" i dont wanna go" I tell Ben
"babe I'll see u tomorrow" he says
"I know but Im gonna miss u"I say.
"babe. Cmon ur friend is waiting for u. I love u. I'll see u in a few hours" he
kisses me and then I get out. I dont go
in. I walk over to his window.
" I love ucbabe. text me when u get Home please."
"baby I will. I promise just go in"
" OK I love you"
" love u too" he kisses me
quickly. I watch him back out and leave before I go in.
I go inside thinking. His kiss felt
distant. I wonder whats going on.
" hey mom I'm home"I say walking " "hey there's my Ellie " hasleys mom says. I give her hug
"where's hasley?" I ask.
"she went with Kaleb to the store. She
will be back soon" Kaleb is her moms
boyfriends son. Even though I have a
boyfriend I still think Kaleb is kinda
Cute.
"OK I'm going in the room" I say
and walk away. Just then Ben texts me

ben: Quick question, red,pink, or yellow?
me: for?
Ben: just answer
Me: all
Ben: damn picky ass jk love u babe
Me: love u too

Last night when Lina got back we hung out for a,while. Kaleb bought us both a rose. After while we went to bed. I Woke up to the sweetest text from Ben

Ben: good morning baby happy

Hasley Walks in with a bag.
"Happy early birthday slash valentines day"
" hase what did u do?"
" just open"
inside the bag was a beautiful dress and matching shoes.
" hase I love it." I say holding the lavender and chocolate colored cocktail dress.
"I knew you would.
I pull the tiny box out of my bag
"it isn't as good as my gift. But here" In the box was a charm bracelet. And the 8 charms on it were actually picture memories of the two of us.
"Ellie I love it so much'"
"I'm glad, I worked really hard on it" I
tell her. She gives me the biggest hug
"Now go get dressed. Ben should be here to get you any minute" I run to the room to change. I put on the dress and heels.
Then I put my hair into a waterfall
braid, and do my makeup.
"Ellie ben is here" Hasley's mom tell me. I give Hase a big hug and grab my bag and go.
