Mia's pov

-

There comes a time in a girl's life when she gets all dolled up to meet the person she's fawning over

There comes a time in a girl's life when she dreams about her perfect date with that perfect someone

There comes a time-

"What the hell are you doing!?" Zack hissed

I peeled my attention away from the dressing mirror as I turned my stool around to face my brother who was leaning against the door frame

"What?" I asked

The soft droplets of the rain continued to slide against the glass windows, dashing into the side of the house with its might, trying to make sure it was known. What a lovely day for it to rain. Just perfect.

"Chad? Like seriously!? Even a KYLE would be better" He scoffed

"Don't stereotype him-"

"HE IS A WALKING STEREOTYPE" Zack spat

"Keep your voice down" I hissed

"I will not! You're not going on that date with him!"

"And who are you to tell me who I should or shouldn't go out with?"

"I'm your brother and clearly I have eyes in this situation" He said

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that I'm the only person clearly seeing what's going on except you" Zack grumbled

"I still don't know what you're trying to say" I said as I crossed my arms against my chest

"Chad isn't the one. Don't let him be your firsts, you're just going to end up heartbroken and tossed aside like trash because that's what HE does. You just can't see it because you're blinded by his fluffy ginger hair and dimples for some goddamned reason. He literally looks like the human Garfield, is that why you like him!?" Zack yelled

"What the hell Zack!" I hissed

"Mia, what the hell is wrong with you!?"

"Nothi-"

"No. You're clearly fucking crazy if you think that Chad even wants to be with you. He just wants to fuck around with you Mia. Why can't you see that!" He yelled

A familiar feeling pierced into my heart, clenching at my veins tightly as if it wanted to tear it apart

"So I'm not good enough for him to want me?"

"Jesus Mia, that's not what I mea-"

"No. It's exactly what you mean. I'm not good enough for someone like that right? A jock who's confident and smooth wouldn't be with a short, shy and dumbass cheerleader will he?" I scoffed

"I wish you could hear yourself right now, you sound fucking ridiculous" Zack spat

"yeah well the street goes both ways" I mumbled before turning back around in my stool

"Jesus Mia. Why do you have to be so difficult" my brother groaned

"I made up my mind. I have a date in a few minutes and you're interrupting me" I mumbled as I leaned over the counter, applying a light blush against my cheek

"He's not coming to pick you up. What kinda shit is that!?"

"It's called 2020, I don't need a man to escort me to a date" I mumbled

"Wow. It's the ignoring red flags for me" Zack scoffed

"Would you stop!?" I hissed

"No. I will not. It's ridiculous, you shouldn't go on that date Mia. I'm serious" He said once again

"I'm leaving this house whether you like it or not"

"Wow. I never expected this from you. You're the smart one out of all of us. You're the one with rational thinking. You're the one that knows fucking wrong from right and keeps us all in check. But this.. This isn't you. I don't like this Mia" Zack mumbled

"You're trying to guilt trip me out of a date I've wanted to go on for years Zack. Of course I'll get defensive"

"But do you even want this!? Are you sure HE is who you want?" He asked

The pain surged inside me with every expelled breath, reaching higher peaks, never sufficiently soothed by my long intakes of the damp air.

Sometimes I'd let my own ego get in front of what I want. It makes the decisions and I just sit back like a small child and watch as everything unfold.

Dani.

That goddamned girl was the only thing on my mind all day. I should be thinking of the ginger hair boy who had the widest smile on his lips and had small freckles dotted all across his cheek, making his nose look even more perfect.

But no, my goddamned mind was thinking about her. The way her short blonde hair would swift over to the side when the cold wind would brush against it. The way her green eyes twinkled under the sun, sometimes it would seem like silver drops were added to those green orbs but that just made her beauty even more attractive. Her smile, gods her smile was the best part of it all. Some people have that smile which brightens a room but Dani had that smile that made my heart flutter in my chest and my cheeks burn on fire every single time.

So here I am. Sitting at my dresser with a cotton sweater and soft jeans with a full face of makeup that held a fake smile, telling my brother that Chad is who I want when in reality, I couldn't get my mind off my friend.

My. Friend. That's all she was. A friend.

But why did that hurt even more?

"I'm leaving, Zack" I mumbled as I rose to my feet

"You have got to be kidding me" He rolled his eyes

"I'll be fine" I said, pushing past his body at the door frame

"No. No you won't" Zack hissed as he followed me down the steps

"Zack, let it go" I groaned, grabbing my keys from the table and heading towards the door

"Mia. WAIT" he yelled, stopping me in my tracks

"What Zack?" I sighed

"Do you remember where Luna lives?" He asked, I furrowed my brows at his question

"Yes?"

"Dani lives in the next street, the third house on the right. No ones home and the gates open because she's heading out in a few minutes" He said. I tilted my head slightly

"Why would I need to know this?" I asked

"I'm just.. Nothing, never mind" He mumbled

"I'll see you later Zack" I said, gripping the doorknob

"WAIT" He shouted

"Jesus Christ, what!?" I hissed

"It's raining, let me follow you out" He said, gripping the umbrella next to the door

"I'm sure I can just use the umb-"

"Walk bitch" Zack hissed as he lightly shoved my shoulder out the door, holding the umbrella above our heads

I rolled my eyes as he placed his arm over my shoulder, walking towards the car. His eyes were strictly on the car in the driveway but I knew his mind was far from such.

I need to snap out of this. I'm literally leaving to go on my first goddamned date, Dani should be far away from my mind right now. Focus on Chad.

Chad.

Zack opened the door and allowed me to slip into the diver's seat, he leaned down to hover over the window with the umbrella still in his hands to cover his body

"I don't like this Mia" he mumbled

"I know you don't"

"Listen. I know you're not going to listen since you look deadset on going to break your heart and hymen-"

"Zack!"

"-But there's nothing I can do about it now. I'd love to cut the wires under your car or throw water in your gas tank but it takes no sense. You're still going to mess up, you're still going to leave. I can only hope you find your senses before it all goes too late" he mumbled

"I love you Mia"

A/N

I think I might end this book because I won't be giving it any attention or love and you guys deserve a book that's well written and frankly I don't focus on this one nor care

I would rather take my anxiety and time worrying over this book and place it into a new book instead

So the next chapter might be the last, I have no idea but I'm sorry ♥
