High School

Chapter 9- Forgiven

EMMA POV

I invited him to my room, silence took over us. He looked around quietly , especially at my picture frames. He stopped at one particular one with me, Emily, Tristen and my ex boyfriend before we moved here. His name was Jake and well we were together for 6 months,and we didn't turn out so good.

Jared sighed, "I'm really sorry that I didn't wait for you to explain and I'm willing to listen now, if it isnt too late. I mean I hope not because you've been great and I know we can be friends."

I smiled. "Of course, I mean course we can be friends, I'm sorry for assuming that you wouldn't want to be at the hospital. You looked really tired and I just didn't want you to feel like you had to be in my family problems. I wasn't myself -you know because of Emily." His face changed as soon as I said Emily. He looked guilty but then quickly flashed me a smile.

"I'm glad that's settled. Can we go on our date tomorrow- thats if your free." He asked hopefully.

Tomorrow was Sunday and usually I just do homework and relax. "Sure! Jared."

He walked out of the room and before he went down, he stopped at my door. "You look cute,princess." He complimented me and then winked before he briskly closed the door. My heart began to beat so much faster and my cheeks started to blush. I went to sleep so happy that night.

Yawning, I woke up with the windows half open, the wind gushing air into my room and the light glistening through the blinds. Checking the time it was 9:00 and rushed in the shower and brushed my teeth. I left my hair to dry naturally and went downstairs to my mum and brother. Surprisingly, Chase was cooking breakfast and stacked a whole plate of pancakes on my plate. He knew my favourite, and put nutella, syrup and fruits in front of me.

Taking the first bite, I moaned. "Mm this is real good Chase, thanks bro!" I told him.

He chuckled and said, "Yeah well I have to get back tomorrow, school you see."

"Already leaving us, I may need to have another child, you kids are growing up so quick!" My mum started tearing up.

"I won't be going anywhere anytime soon mom." I reassured her, and scowled at Chase who wriggled his eyebrows at my comment. I loved family time but I was really missing my Dad.

I finished my breakfast and looked in the freezer for my ice cream but there wasn't any left. I groaned and went upstairs to get dressed. Deciding on my blue jeans, hawaii crop top with my sneakers. I grabbed my favourite Dorothy Perkins Jacket since it was chilly outside and got my money from the drawer.

"Mum! I'm going to the store, do we need anything!" I shouted before I left the house.

"Just some noodles and the dip for the crisps. Chase always finishes it!" She screamed. "Hey mom! You eat it too!" I heard before closing the door. The store was only five minute walk from our house and so I got there pretty quick.

I grabbed the noodles and their Chilli dip and went to the frozen aisle. I scanned carefully for any ice cream offers and found a Buy one get One free for Ben and Jerry. I got my mint Chocolate Chip and also the Cookie dough. Before walking to the counter I saw a girl around my age shopping with her mother. She was beautiful, with blond wavy hair that fell at her hips and her blue eyes sparkled when they looked at her favourite chocolate rolls. She looked like a supermodel with her make up done to perfection. I was seriously amazed. I quickly payed for the items and rushed home. This neighbourhood was small and I've never seen her around. They must have moved here recently.

I rushed home so I could eat my ice cream! I can't believe my date was tomight! I chilled with my brother and my mum for awhile before starting to getting ready. Then I had a long hot shower which turned my fingers all crinkly. Apparently, the rules still applied for 'warm clothing'.
