Chloé
This is how my first time should have been. Amazing. Awe-struck. Perfect. It was perfect because it was Ben. I love him. When I said the words, it was real. I only said the words to please him, but when it came out I meant it. I felt my heart skip a beat when I said it. I’ve never been this happy.
We started to get dressed because our phones were blowing up with messages from our parents. We arrived at my uncle’s house and went inside to find everyone in the kitchen. Everyone looked at me and I saw it. Pity. The one thing I didn’t want to see. My dad came up to me and hugged me. I flinched a little and it was an odd feeling. “I’m so sorry,” he whispered. “I should have paid attention.”
“Chloé,” my mom said, pulling my dad away. “Sheriff Woods has taken Parker into custody.”
