Chapter Ten

Thanks for 3.6k reads!! <3

I take a seat on the couch, extremely nervous, already knowing what they're mad about. My mom looks at me and sighs, "We know you have a boyfriend, Clementine." My mom says coolly, my dad cringes hearing the word 'boyfriend'. "H-how? Did AJ tell you?" I ask, getting annoyed, I told him to keep it a secret!

"No. Wait...you told AJ, but not your parents first!" I look down, ashamed, "How did you find out?" I mumble, keeping my head down. "Well, I was watching you when you were heading to that boys car." She states, "It obviously didn't seem like you were going out with some friends." I look up, "So now what? Am I going have to..break up with him?" I ask, my voice cracking. I watch as my mom looks down for a second, thinking. My mom and dad both look at each other, then back at me, I wait impatiently, praying that me and Louis don't break up. My dad looks at me seriously, "Me and your mother think that you're too young to have a boyfriend." My mom nods in agreement.

"But..mom, dad, I like him! Like, a lot! Don't do this to me.." I mumble, on the verge of tears. My hands shake as I put them into fists, breathing in and out. They stare at me, their eyes widening, probably realizing how much I care about Louis. "I know I'm only 15, but me and Louis have been friends for years. I care about him a lot, and he cares about me." I tell them. I stare them down, getting upset. "You two started dating when you were 17, and then you got married when you were 20. I know that you may think that dating at 15 is too young, but I don't care. I like him a lot, he makes me happy, makes me laugh, makes me feel special, and it just seems like you two can't trust me or you don't think I'm responsible enough to have a boyfriend." I say, now fully upset. My hands were shaking harder now, and I felt something wet on my cheek. I move my shaky hands on my cheek, feeling that one tear slowly falling down my cheek. Wiping away the tear, I sigh, trying to calm myself down.

Folding her arms, my mom says, "I can tell you like him a lot, sweetie, and I'm glad you have someone in your life that makes you feel that way." I fold my arms, "But..?" I ask annoyingly. "But me and your father think you should wait until you're older to date." My eyes widened, I stand up, squeezing my balled up fists so tight that my knuckles went white. "What? No! Did you not get what I said just a second ago?" I yell angrily. "Calm down Clementine, hear us out for a sec--" My dad says, but I cut him off. "No, how about you listen to what I just told you a minute ago! I just told you how much I like and care about Louis, and how great he makes me feel, what was the point of me doing that? What was the point of me pouring my heart out about someone I care about, huh!?" I try my best to keep the tears from pouring out, but I failed. Hot tears streamed down my face, I look at my parents angrily.

I put my head down, crying quietly, my vision blurry from all the tears. "Why are you doing this to me?" I ask, hearing the tears hit the floor. There was no response, the only thing that was heard was my tears hitting the floor. I breathe in and out slowly, trying to calm myself down. I look up again, wiping away my tears and giving my parents zero eye contact. I can't be in this house right now, I just can't. Not saying a word, I quickly walk to the front door and open it. "Where do you--" I hear my mom say, I cut her off.

I turn to my parent's glaring at them both, "I'm going for a walk. What? Am I too young to do that too?" I retort and leave the house, making sure to slam the door. I pull out my phone from my pocket, I had texts from Violet, Marlon, Ruby, and...Louis.

I read and respond to Violet's text first.

Violet: Woah, the skating rink? It's been awhile since I've been there. I used to teach Louis tricks.

Clementine: I know, he told me. I had a blast!

I read and respond to Marlon's text next.

Marlon: Louis told me that you and him went on a date today ;) Anything else happen?

Clementine: Yeah, it was so fun, and no dumb ass.

I read and respond to Ruby's text.

Ruby: Louis told me that you and him went on a date!

Clementine: Yeah, it was super fun, I loved it.

I then open up Louis' text and respond to it.

Louis: Hey Clem, I hope you're doing okay!

Louis: Btw, call me later, I miss hearing your voice.

I smile, reading his texts over and over again. Then I frown, sighing.

Clementine: I'm not doing okay. Call me as soon as you get the chance.

I put my phone away and continue to walk, not knowing exactly where to walk to. While I walk, the only thing I could think about was Louis. I smiled, thinking about all the times he made me smile and laugh, then I think about what my parents told me earlier and my happiness disappeared, I grew upset and sad, on the verge of tears again.

A/N: Sorry it's short!

I wanna tell yall something. So basically I have this friend, and me and her like the same guy.(she likes him more than I do, though. And I told her that I like him.) Long story short, my crush asked me if I could keep a secret, and I said yes. He basically told me that he likes my friend, BUT he likes this other girl too. So he's having a difficult time choosing who he should date and he wanted me to help him,,,, I'm dealing with mixed emotions now lmao. ANYWAYS, I tried to portray my feelings into this chapter, so I hope I did okay?

Question of the day: Has your crush ever asked you out?

My Answer: No lmao
