"What is this crap you are listening to?" I asked the following morning in the passenger seat of Tyler's car. I was watching him as he bops his head to a rap song, while concentrating on the road. I don't get it. What was so amazing about this song? I couldn't even hear what the singer was singing about.Boy, his taste in music is weird!Without turning his eyes from the road, he responded. "You don't know what you are talking about. This is a great song.""Well, my ears are bleeding." I couldn't take it anymore, I lean towards the radio and turn the knob, hoping to find a radio station with a decent song. Suddenly, One Direction's 'Live While We're Young' blast from the radio. "Now, this is more like it." I said, resting my head on the headrest behind me."Seriously? One Direction?" He queried, lifting his eyebrows at me for a second, before looking back to the road.I turn to look at him. "Yeah. They're pretty amazing. You don't have good taste." He shook his head, so I added, insis
Victoria and I rarely argued.I could only count three times in our friendship where we argued. Those times, it was only mere disagreements and we always hug and make up soon after. We never argued for long. Our friendship was too close and strong for that.Now, was one of those times and even though it was another disagreement, it was the first I've seen her like this. I've never seen Victoria so angry and full of hatred before."Are you out of your mind?" She was asking, shaking her head vigorously. "Did you forget what he did to you?""Tori, it's not a big deal. I'm just going to hear what he has to say and leave." I said, trying to calm her down.As soon as lunch came around, I told Victoria about meeting Logan after school. She was not happy about that. So, she was trying to convince me that I shouldn't see him."I still think it's a bad idea. You cannot go and see him." Tori insisted. "He hurt you without thinking about it, Emily. A guy like that don't deserve a chance to explai
As I made my way back to the parking lot, I saw Tyler heading there as well. Good. Right on time.Before the day was finished, Tyler had told me that he had something to do right after school and I should wait on him. I didn't mind, because I knew I was going to meet Logan. I told him to go ahead, hoping that he would be ready by the time I've finished talking to Logan.As I reached closer to him, he looked at me and then his eyes shifted over my shoulders. "Someone looks angry." He said, indicating his head behind me.I turned and looked behind me and saw Logan still standing where I left him. The only difference was his arms were crossed and he sent a glare in Tyler's direction. If looks could kill, Tyler would be six feet under by now. I turned back to face Tyler. "Good for him. He needs to suck it up and move on with his life."Tyler sent a smirk in Logan's direction before facing me again. "Let's go. We're going to the coffee shop down the street."I gave him a confused look. "Wh
"Woah, so you called off the fake date?" Victoria asked in confirmation.I nodded my head. "Yep."It was the following day and Victoria and I were in the cafeteria. I didn't get a chance to talk to her before, so as soon as she sat down for lunch, I told her everything that transpired yesterday."That's too bad. I really liked your fake relationship." Victoria teased.I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, it was a disaster waiting to happen from the beginning.""By the way, what did he say?" Tori asked."I didn't give him a chance to say anything. I walked away." I replied. "Besides, he should be glad. Now he's free to bang everything that moves. I won't be the one to stand in his way.""That's good for him." Tori took a bite of her slice of pizza. "So, Jason Forrester is keeping a Halloween party at his house next week for Halloween. You going?"I shrugged. "I don't know. My plan was to stay home and watch horror movie marathon.""Come on, it's a costume party. We could wear the outfit that
I still can't believe I'm going to Tyler's family dinner. I hate family dinners. I don't even like attending my own family's dinner and yet here I am. He's going to owe me big time for this.I took a deep sigh to mentally and physically prepare for this night and take a look in my full length mirror. I look simple which was what I was going for. I was in a simple casual light purple dress that I got for Christmas and my brown sandals. My hair was caught in a messy ponytail. I put my phone into my small shoulder bag and went downstairs.My father and Sarah were laughing in the living room when I went down the stairs. I couldn't help the smile that took over my face when I saw then together. I was so glad that my father was happy again. I couldn't ask for anything more."I'm leaving now." I announced, drawing their attention.Dad looked up at me. "Okay sweetheart. Have a good time." He said."And please say hello to Rachel for me." Sarah added."Okay, thanks. I will." I waved at both of
The following Monday morning, I went downstairs to see my father in the dining room, drinking coffee with the newspaper in his hands. "Good morning, Dad." I greeted him as I head in the kitchen. Dad removed the newspaper from his face. "Good morning, sweetheart."I continued towards the kitchen. When I entered, Sarah was at the stove. "Good morning." I said as I walked over to the fridge and poured myself a glass of orange juice."Good morning, dear." Sarah said. I walked over to the breakfast bar and sat on a stool. "Do you want a ride to school?" She asked, placing a plate of eggs and toast in front of me."No, I'm going with Tyler." I said.Sarah lifted her eyebrows at me and smiled knowingly. "Oh, your boyfriend." She stated.I haven't told Dad or Sarah about Tyler being my boyfriend, because I didn't want to lie to them. I don't know about Tyler, but I couldn't deceive my parent like that. However, I know they knew because Sarah has become such good friends with Tyler's Mom and
"So you're telling me that Logan was cheating on you because you weren't having sex with him?" Tori asked in a disgusted tone of voice.It was the following day and I was relaying the events that took place after school yesterday to Tori. She wasn't there when it happened or after as she had left school right after her final class because she had to get something done for her mom.Now, we were currently hanging out in the parking lot, waiting for the first bell to ring. "Yes." I said, shaking my head still in disbelief.Tori made up her face in anger. "That pig!" She went on adding some other selective words for Logan in Spanish that I didn't understand."You got that right." I agreed then sighed heavily. "I can't believe I dated him. What did I ever see in him? I was so blind." I added grudgingly.Tori gave me a cheerful smile. "Don't beat yourself up. He was the one using and manipulating you."I nodded. "I know."The bell rang for school to begin and Tori took up her bag and stood
"You miss him don't you?" Tyler asked suddenly after we were quiet for a while."Who?" I turned to face him, shock by his sudden question."Your ex boyfriend." He replied.I shook my head and answered honestly. "No I don't.""I saw you looking at him at the party. I assumed you were missing him and reconsidering giving him another chance.""Of course not!" I said adamantly. I was even shock at the absurdity of the idea. Where did he get that from?"Did you love him?" He asked, bringing me from my thoughts.I was silent for a while. Did I love him? I have never really thought about it before. At one point I thought I did, but now, I'm not sure I ever did. One thing I knew for sure was that I did care a lot about him.There was no question if Logan loved me though. Obviously, he didn't. I still can't believe the last few months of our relationship was a lie."I did care about him." I answered finally. "He was the first guy that I've ever been close to. He was my first boyfriend.
