Younger Emaline
April 22nd
"TJ!" I happily call out to my new boyfriend. My heart flutters as he greets me with a smile, "Hey babe." He leans down, kissing my head softly. My heart can't help but flutter.
He grabs my arm, leading me inside the restaurant.
I sit down at the dinner table, gazing at the scenery around us.
"We've been together for a month. I can hardly believe it." I grab my menu, skimming the food items. I thin my lips, glancing at him as he continues his silence.
My mind wonders if he heard me or not. "TJ?" I say lightly, trying to get his attention. He is often cold to me. I know he doesn't mean it, It's just his personality. I know he loves me, he tells me every day.
"I want you to move in with me." His brown eyes pour into mine with intensity.
My breath catches in my throat as I stare at him with shock.
"My parents?" I bring up my family, they would surely miss me. I'm only fourteen, they mostly give me everything I want. But I don't think they will be too fond of the idea of me moving in with my boyfriend.
"I'll take care of it." He continues to stare, causing my chest to tighten.
He's the love of my life, I should be euphoric.
"I will."

July 1st.
"Who was that girl, Tj?!" I yell at the piece of shit who had told me he loved me.
The scene of a tan woman leaving our house plays in my head. Hickeys were planted all over her neck.
I had caught her leaving a few minutes ago as I was getting home from spending time with my friends.
"Relax, babe. She's my cousin." He stands, looking at me with empty eyes.
"A cousin that I've never met? That you have never talked about? A cousin that has hickeys all over her neck?" I hold back tears as I point out the obvious signs that she isn't his cousin.
"Why the hell don't you believe me? Trust is love and if you don't trust me then you obviously don't love me."
I furrow my eyebrows, wiping away the tears that trail down my neck.
He thinks I'm stupid, he thinks I will always believe him.
"You cheated on me."
With my simple words, he shoves me. I tumble backward, hitting the wooden floor with my tailbone.
I whimper with pain before snapping my head up, shooting him a glare.
