365 Words
We go to the school parking lot and take off in his car.
"Where are we going?"
When I look at him I see him smiling "The park" he tells me.
The rest of the car ride to the park is left in comfortable silence. Once we get there Nick opens my door for me and we walk somewhere less crowded. He turns and looks at me
"I need to ask you something," He tells me.
Look at him as he takes a deep breath before asking "Will you be my girlfriend?"
I jump on him squealing, and he just laughs before asking if that's a yes. I nod my head yes. I have a boyfriend. Boyfriend. Nick is my boyfriend. I can't believe it. But no matter what I cant tell Nick about the abuse. I mean it made me stronger but he can't know. He would probably leave me, thinking I'm some damaged girl, which I am. And I haven't seen my uncle in a long time so Nick doesn't see any bruises and I have been free to still work and hang out with him. For now at least. A school people used to think of me as the weak shy nerdy girl, but after I started hanging out with Nick everyone left me alone and the only whispers were are is to why Nick is hanging out with someone like me. But I'm still really nervous and I really like Nick.
"Do you want to come over to my house?" he asks, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I don't think I'm ready to meet your parents Nick," I tell him worried about what they would think of me.
"My parents are out of town the only people going to be at the house is my sister, Dylan, and Max."
I think about it for a minute realizing my uncle isn't going to be home anytime soon and how can I say no to him. Plus I have no reason to say no. SoI look at him before saying
"Ok, fine let's go"
The look on his face showing how happy he is that I'm going with him, and it makes me so happy but I can't help but be nervous right now.
