Destined

Lead Role Emma, Tyler, Rockell

Emma-

Yes!!! I got it! The lead role Ariel in the musical!

It’s Monday and they just posted the cast list! Tyler got the role of Ren and Rockell did get Rusty! This is going to be such a fun senior year! I’m ecstatic!

I haven’t talked to Tyler since Friday night. But he did like a few pictures and stuff on f*******:. He just walked up and looked at the cast list as I was turning around. He said “good morning ma lady, you’re looking quite ravishing this morning”. (Winking)

Oh my god, my knees got instantly weak! I felt like I couldn’t move and I was just all in a tingle. His voice, his eyes are heavenly.

He sat with us outside for lunch, this is the first we actually ate outside. Nick was there today too, he had a couple of tests to do so he didn’t have to go into work for

co-op today. It was such a great day, we laughed and being with Rockell and Nick made me feel more at ease and less nervous around Tyler.

We had our first practice after school for the musical. It was just a quick. Meeting about 20 minutes. We didn’t do much but Tyler sat next to me. Afterwards we walked to the diner near the school to eat. Then he walked with me home. It was about 2 miles but it was such a beautiful day. We had a more intense conversation this time.

Tyler-

“So what made you move all the way to this shitty town from San Francisco?”.

Emma-

“My dad didn’t make it home from Afghanistan, he was special forces and the vehicle they were in was targeted. He died in the medical facility. They said if he would have made it he would have been paralyzed, he lost both legs and his left arm. (I started to cry). When the came to the house to tell us, my mom dropped to the floor. It was the worst day of our lives. Everyday the memories surfaced and as much as we live and miss him, we needed to get out. We need a change of life, a fresh start. So we moved here where my entire moms family is. My dads side never bothered much. His dad took off when my dad was 6 and never kept in touch, and my grandma hates my mom because my parents both decided to relocate to San Francisco. They had a choice, Cali or Japan. And no way did my parents want to take us to Japan. And now here I am in PA. What’s your story? You had mentioned you lost your mom, what happened if you don’t mind me asking?”

Tyler-

“Damn, I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine getting news like that about my dad. Well, my mom died from cancer. She was my best friend. It was hard seeing her decline over the years. She has breast cancer for 5 years. My mom was a fighter , she was extra special too, my mom was a psychic medium. She never gave up on reading tarot cards.

I can remember this one time, it was about 6 months before she died, I was 14 at the time, almost 15, she dies two days after my birthday. But she took my hand and and said “Son, you will come across many battles in your life, you have the power to walk away or fight. Right now son, we cannot fight this battle anymore. It’s been so long since I felt like a whole person and it’s time for you and daddy to let me go. I will be at peace. And son, you will be ok, you will be more than ok. All I can say is so one, a young lady, will walk into your life when you least expect it. She will have the the most beautiful green eyes and shiny curly hair. I can’t say much more other than I see a rose. And when this come come you will feel the butterflies rise and you will just know.”

Emma-

All I could do was just take all of this in. Being that his mom was a psychic and did palm readings and such and practically just described me! I felt my face get hot but I had goosebumps. Tyler looked at me and asked if I was alright.

“Wow, Tyler, I am so sorry that you had to see her suffer for so long. She sounded like such a beautiful soul. I wish I could have met her. I’m just floored though, I feel like I was the one she was talking about in her vision.”.

Tyler-

“ I know. That day you first came to school and we were in the hallway, you seen me staring at you. When you looked at me and I seen your eyes I felt like maybe you were the one. Things have gotten better and then you came along and I feel like my work might become whole again. I’m not just saying this to get in your pants. I am genuinely serious. I feel a strong connection. And I kind of stayed away because I had to let this all soak in. The only thing I can’t figure out is why she saw a rose”.

Emma-

I seriously just felt my whole body get goosebumps. “Tyler, my name is Emma Rose”.

We both stopped on the sidewalk and realized we were holding hands. We both went to kiss and here comes Nick and Rockell beeping the horn like a bunch of maniacs. Well needless to say the first kiss never happened. They pulled over and gave us a ride the rest of the way.

Nick pulled up in front of my house to let us out, of course him and Rockell were all over each other, my mom walked walked outside and did a cough to get out attention. I wanted to give Tyler a kiss so bad but being in the car that moment ruined it. But now I know that something is happening. We both said bye, and that was it.

Rockell-

“Dude you and Tyler look so cute! Did you kiss him yet!?”.

Emma-

“We’ll no because some idiots decided to honk the horn! “.

Rockell-

“Oh” (sounding disappointed and she put her head down) “I’m sorry girl, but look at it this way, it’s been like almost 2 months now and you’re both finally spending time together. Don’t move too fast. But I know he like you for sure”.

Emma-

“ We just had a deep conversation. The deepest I’ve ever had with anyone. Is it bad to say I think I’m in love?”.
