Falling

25 | Little Women

"Do you want to maybe see a movie?" Asks Tatum from besides me on the couch. It was Saturday and i invited her over for company. Needing any sort of distraction from last night.

"Sure, what's out?" I ask while scrolling through my phone, trying to avoid the unknown contact that my eyes kept falling on.

"I think 'Little Women'? I love that book, we should totally go see it!" She said excitedly while looking at the theatre site on her own phone.

Laughing stood up, "great! Buy two tickets, I'm going to shower." Walking to my room, I got my stuff ready for the shower.

"Hey, we're gonna have to see an earlier showing. Rodney's brother has a birthday party tonight around 8 and I promised I'd go," I heard Tatum yell from the living room. Stepping into the shower I yelled back an okay and got to work.

I didn't take long, a quick 15 minute shower to refresh and I was out and getting dressed. I pulled on some blue jeans and a tight black blouse. Blow drying my hair would take to long so I just towel my long hair and called it a day.

"We leave in 10 for the 5:00 movie, get your ass out here," yelled Tatum. I laughed shaking my head and throwing on some shoes as well as grabbing my brown fall coat.

"I'm coming whore," I mumbled while stumbling through my bedroom door meeting her at my front door. She rolled her eyes at me handing my my purse with my keys in it and I made sure I had my phone before closing the door behind me.

"Have you talked to Mads since Monday?" Tatum asked and I shook my head no as she hailed us a cab.

"No, have you?" I asked as we we slid in the back seat of a cab that just pulled in front of us. I buckled up telling the driver we're we are headed and turned to Tatum.

"I did actually, she's coming to the movies." She smiled looking out the window. I stilled.

I'm sure Mads had told Tatum that she caught me and Dante. And I hadn't talked to her since that night. I didn't know whether or not she had held any sort of feelings towards Dante, or any sort of resentment towards me for dancing with him.

"We're here." Said the driver and I followed Tatum out the door she had opened.

"Mads isn't mad about... Monday right." I asked quickly. Tatum stopped turning to me. "Of course not! Why would she?" She asked looking at me confused.

"I wasn't sure if she had, I don't know. Wanted to get with Dante..." I quickly said.

She raised her brows.

"Relax, she didn't care at all. Now come on let's go inside, she's waiting." She shook her head moving to the doors of the theatre. I followed her hugging my coat to me hoping what she said was true.

"I'm gonna print out our tickets at the counter, why don't you go find Mads by the candy counter. That's where she said she'd be." Smiling I nodded my head okay at Tatum and set off to find Mads.

"Hey!" I said when I saw her sitting at a table waiting. But she wasn't alone.

"Amelia, nice to see you." She smiled and looked to the person next to her.

"This is Tate, he's decided to string along." She said introducing us.

My mouth dried up and my body stilled as I looked to the short man I'd seen just days ago raking his nasty eyes up and down my body.

"Hello." I said quickly and threw a fake smile.

"Where is Tatum," she asked while placing her hand in Tate's. I think I'm going to be sick. "At the ticket counter," I said turning to watch people pass.
