Destined

Apology Emma, Tyler, Jessica

Emma-

Monday rolled around and Ashtyn didn’t come to school, I wonder why. (Total sarcasm).

I didn’t know how to act around Tyler. I was quiet. I wanted so badly to just hold him but I made myself feel distant. I really feel like I’m falling in live with him. We had musical practice after school and I was so off. The director told me to step it up tomorrow or she’ll have to make changes. Damn.

When I came home from school there where not two but 3 dozen roses there for me. There was a not attached to it that read “To the most beautiful girl in the world, Im sorry. Will you please forgive me? Tyler”.

I balled like a baby.

I called Tyler and thanked him for the roses. I remembered the story he told me of the last party he was at and Ashtyn took advanatage. I actually forgot about that until now and I felt awful. I totally believe him. I love him. I want to be with him right now .

(Calling Tyler) “Hey, I love the roses. They are beautiful. I do accept your apology and I’m sorry too. I should have know when she’s around there’s trouble and I should have pulled you out with me to dance”.

Tyler-

“Can you meet me at the park in like 20 minutes?”

Emma-

“I’ll see you soon”.

I told my mom I was heading to the park. I never told her about Tyler. She seen the roses and the note.

Jessica-

“What happened that someone gave you 36 roses!? Do you realize how expensive these are!?

Emma-

“Well, mom, there’s a boy that I really like. We’ve been taking for months, but that’s all it’s been. He is such a gentleman.

Jessica-

“So we need to have the talk? Have you done anything?”

Emma-

“No mom, he’s a gentleman. He hasn’t even made a move. Not even a kiss. I am falling for him. He gave me roses because at the party this crazy girl that likes him showed up. We drank, I’m sorry . I beat the s**t if the girl, hence the marks on my hand. Everyone knows she’s like a r****t and ..

Jessica-

“EMMA!!! I thought I could trust you not to do anything so stupid. Ugh. I..

Emma-

“Mom it’s ok! Everything is ok! I’m 18 yes but she’s not pressing charges bc she tried to r**e him.

Jessica-

“Maybe he should call the cops then”.

Emma-

“No! We do twang this to go farther. She got the memo.

Jessica-

“What’s Tyler’s Last name? Is it Keenan?”

Emma-

“Yes it is”. Why?.

Jessica-

“Oh Emma ( my mom looked so upset and kinda disappointed)

I’m dating his dad! I wish you would communicate with me. His dads been telling me that his son has this girlfriend and he can see how happy he is bc he’s been so depressed since his mom died. He said her name was Amelia. So I never though to ask anything. His dad never could get names right. Well, I guess this poses a problem. I’m goin to have to cut Mike off and just tell him the truth. It wouldn’t be right, it would be some weird f****d up family if anything g should progress into more and I do t want to be the talk of this town.”

Emma-

“I’m so sorry mom. I mean it can’t be that weird can it? If he makes you happy. Tyler will be 18, I’m gonna be 18, heck we’re not even official.”

Jessica-

“Go talk to him. I think he needs you more than mile and I need to relieve sleep a long lost love interest. We’ll just go day by day. I understand sweetie” ( kisses my forehead).

Emma-

What the hell just happened!? I started walking towards the park, it’s about 2 blocks away, and Tyler is another 2 blocks so he’s not far. I just can’t wrap my head around what just happened in the kitchen with my mom. I feel so dumb.

As I approach the park I see Tyler sitting in the gazebo. It’s so pretty. The flowers are beautiful and it’s just a really nice serene park. I sat down next to him.

Tyler-

“Emma I’m sorry…

Emma-

“Our parents are dating”.

I did t want that to be the first this I say in middle of an apology but it just blurted out.

Tyler-

“Huh? Your mom

Is Jessica? Ugh. Well I dont care Emma. I’ve been so foresees over the last few years. I fake happy all the time but these last few months I’ve been over the moon happy. I..

Emma’s kisses Tyler.
