APRIL

THE QUESTIONING

A few days had passed since Forrest threw me in the pool, and I have been sick since.

I don't know what it is from but I feel disgusting and awful. My head is throbbing and my stomach won't stop churning.

He feels super bad though and has totally made up for it. But finally today I am feeling so much better thanks to a new medication I had gotten at the store.

I was currently in class listening to my professor lecture about the importance of derivatives. I had already doodled all over my notes, I was just so ready to get out of this class.

Well I was ready to go see my boyfriend.

I feel like I have become super clingy since we both exchanged "I love you's" but I mean it's another stage in our relationship I would say. Taking things to the next level.

He said he was taking me somewhere fun tonight in the city. I'm thinking it could be a concert since Colton took ivy to one last weekend and I got incredibly jealous and pissed off that I didn't get to see Post Malone.

But I also knew that one of my favorite artists were in town this weekend and were playing at Madison square garden.

If you knew me, you would know that I love r&b. I love relaxing music like that and Bryson Tiller really knows how to put me in a mood I'll say.

And he is here in town.

If he isn't taking me here we are going to have a huge problem.

Joking but I will be super upset.

The bell finally rings and I gather my things and head out of class and go to my locker to put my textbook up so I didn't have to carry it around for the rest of the day.

The worst part about my locker is that Sam's is just a few down from mine. We made sure to get close lockers but now I wish I could move to the other side of the building.

I don't run into her much, but as I'm walking towards my locker right now, I see her standing there talking to my man who is patiently waiting there for me.

Not her.

I walk up to them and give her a fake smile and then look to Forrest, "hey fore."

"Hey em, you ready for lunch?" This was the most awkward tension I had ever felt in my entire life.

I threw my books in my locker and grabbed what I needed for my afternoon classes and basically ran out of there.

I sped walked to the cafeteria, Forrest was trying to hard to keep up.

Once I had finally gotten to our seats I look at him, "what were you two talking about?"

He shrugged, "I was waiting on you and she came up to me and asked about if there were any new boys on the team and I was like how would I know I'm new too."

I rolled my eyes, "whore."

I went to the line to grab a lunch and got a nice looking piece of pepperoni pizza with some sides.

I got back to my seat and basically
devoured it in three seconds. My bad.

"Are you hungry? Did you not eat breakfast?" Forrest asks.

I shrug, "yeah I ate some cereal this morning. I didn't eat much last night my stomach was hurting."

"Poor baby," he mumbled and kissed my forehead.

I sigh, "what do you want to do tonight?"

He smiles, "I have a great night planned, but it's a secret, baby."

I roll my eyes, "I hate secrets."

"I know but you love me so you'll be patient."

"I suppose."

We continue to make small talk until Bethany and a new guy friend named Trevor arrives. I didn't even want to ask about it.

We parted ways after lunch and I finished the rest of my day and went home since Forrest would be coming over and he told me to wear something to wear outside but sexy.

What does that even mean?

My mom was home when I got home and I flopped on the couch next to her and groaned, "I feel like shit."

"What is wrong with you, Emma?" She asks.

I raise an eyebrow, "what do you mean?"

"Why are you so sick all of the sudden?"

I shrug, "I don't know. I guess it's some bug going around school. Should clear up in a couple of days."

She looks at me concerned, "if it's not better by the end of the weekend you can go to the doctor on Monday."

I nod, "sounds good. It's just my stomach and my head. I haven't thrown up. It feels like cramps. I may be starting my period soon."

"Doesn't birth control start that for you?"

"Yeah, but I missed my pill the other night so I doubled up and now everything is crazy."

My mom laughed, "okay. Let me know if you start feeling worse."

I nod and go upstairs and take a short nap before getting ready for our date.

I put on my camo joggers and a tight fitting black long sleeve v-neck with my black vans.

I better be going to this concert or I'm gonna be mad.

I put on a black choker and then straightened my hair and added some makeup. It was seven o'clock now and Forrest should be here any second now.

Once I heard the door bell ring I told my parents goodbye and gave Forrest a hug, "hi baby, how are you?"

"I'm good, are you okay?" He asked curiously.

I look at him weirdly, "yeah?"

"I've never seen you act so nice to me. You usually have attitude."

I roll my eyes, "shut the hell up."

We get in his truck and I look at him, "so..."

"First things first," he leans over and kisses me on the lips, "you look gorgeous as always."

I smile, "and you smell like heaven."

He laughs, "I feel like you already know where we are going."

"I don't know. You wouldn't tell me where we were going."

He reaches into his glove compartment and pulls out an envelope. He hands it to me and I open it to find out I was correct.

6lack.

"Oh my god, you are legit the greatest boyfriend ever. I love you so much!" I reach over and hug him tightly.

He smiles, "I knew you'd like it. We can grab dinner then drive to Madison square. Sound good?"

I nod. I am so excited. Though 6lack is a depressing artist he is so amazing. I can't wait to see him live.

We run through McDonald's and I get chicken nuggets and he gets a burger and we eat in the parking lot before driving into the city.

We park and get out to see the never ending line to get inside. He grabs my hand and begins to walk past the line, "where are we going?"

"I got us VIP."

"You're lying."

He laughs, "I'm not Emma."

"Shut up. I'm going to scream." I was really about to hyperventilate I was so excited. Was I actually going to meet him?"

"Nope, I hope you're picture ready though," he tells me as we hand the security guard our tickets and enter through the back door where smoke filled our lungs along with alcohol and pure ecstasy.
