[1 week later]

Brandon and I have been a thing for a week now. I obviously said yes to him when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I couldn't tell him no. I like him too much for that.

Chloe and I have figured shit out as well. I told her how I felt and she said she forgot about me liking Brandon. I don't know if I actually believe that, but I'm learning to just let things go. I let it go and I'm giving her a chance again.

I'm living with Brandon and Jennie as of now. They didn't want me to live alone in my car and I didn't want that either. Brandon also forced me to stay. He wasn't going to let me stay anywhere else.

As for my dad though, I haven't talked to him since everything went down. I don't plan to talk to him either. He's an asshole and I really want nothing to do with him anymore. I'll never understand how he just kicked me out like that. We all knew he hated me, but I never thought he would make me leave the way he made me leave. It was really heartless.

"Baby! Are you ready?"

"Coming!" I yell from my room. Luckily they had an extra room at their place. That's where I'm staying for now. I went back to my house when my dad was at work to grab all of my shit. It's now here with me.

I walk downstairs for my date with Brandon. This is now our third date and we seem to be getting the hang of it. Neither of us have been in a relationship, but we are starting to get it. I feel like it's an actual relationship and that's all I ever wanted.

"You look beautiful, baby," he says.

I playfully roll my eyes, "Thank you, baby, but why do I have to wear this nice of a dress?"

"You will see," he says. "Just know that you are absolutely stunning."

I smile, "Thank you, B."

This whole thing is definitely different for me. I've never had someone tell me I'm beautiful or worth it. I'm only used to being called stupid or a piece of shit.

"Come on, baby." He grabs my hand and we walk to the car. We get in and he starts to drive away.

"Will you please tell me where we are going?" I ask him. He said it was a surprise, but I hate surprises.

"No," he says.

"Why?" I complain. "I absolutely hate surprises."

"Well I want to surprise you," he says. "And I know that you will love it."

"How do you know that?"

"I just do."

After driving for about thirty minutes we arrive at a field. There is nobody around because it's in the middle of nowhere. It's almost like we are in the middle of a horror movie. It's kinda scary if I'm being absolutely honest.

"What is this?" I ask.

"You'll see," he says. He gets out of the car and I do the same thing. We walk to the field and once we get closer I realize it's a field full of beautiful flowers.

"There is so many of them," I say.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" He asks. "I used to bring Jennie here when she was younger. We would always ride our bikes."

"You rode your bikes all the way here?" I ask.

"Yes," he says. "I had a carrier for her and I biked the whole way. My parents weren't the best parents when we were little either, so we did everything by ourselves."
