As I look down at my phone it reads, “I’m rlly srry I just wanted you to know that I wasn’t playing w/ u I should’ve stopped but I didn’t want to I understand if you don’t forgive me but can I at least talk to u once more I have smth important to tell u” I’m scared. What if he tells me something I don’t want to hear? I then decided what to text back. “After school tomorrow.”

When I hit send I looked at Nick’s messages. Although I didn’t want to deal with the issues between him and I knew I had to. I tried my best to put my fears aside for the moment as I saw the messages.

“Hi Caleb. I know we missed out on our makeout sesh cuz Ty’s girl wasn’t there, but if ur up for it u can come over to my house next weekend. Just me n u. Btw I ain’t gonna be at school this week cuz my mom’s sick.” Oh, just great! I guess I could use this as my chance to talk with him. “I’ll join you Friday then.”

Now I just need to sit back and relax as I watch these movies with mom. I look at her as she reaches over to grab something beside her. Once she turns towards me she hands me a drink. “Let yourself be at ease for the night, sweetie.” “Thank you, mom.” She is the best mother a son could ever ask for.

The movie finishes and the next one starts. It wasn’t as scary as I thought it’d be so I felt kind of sleepy. I notice that I have fallen asleep when I hear a loud scream from the t.v and mom cursing out the lady in the movie. I also see trash scattered everywhere. I watched as the predator ate the girl.

Mom took the movie out and put in another. It looked like a sad romance. The girl falls for this cold heartless man as he shuns her. She walked up to him and told him that she didn’t care what he thought of her. “I may be sweet and small, but I am still myself. You are a man of evil and you have stolen my soul. I am but without as my heart beats for your reckless tone. You may hate me, but now you know. Goodbye, Fredrick.”

In the end he fell for her and they got together. I shed a few tears, as did mom. We were done with the last of the movies so we started to clean up. Once we finished I told mom goodnight and ran upstairs with a drink in one hand and my dead phone in the other.

Before crashing on my bed I put my charger in my phone. When my face hit my pillows I thought about how brave the woman from the movie was. If only I could be like that as I tell Ty how I feel about him. Guess I’ll just sleep on it.
