Forever Mine

Chapter 5: "Mood Swing"

"Ok, good. You're home." my mom said as she came walking up to the stairs. I gave her a weak smile. "So how'd it go?" she asked while walking up the stairs. I shrugged with a sigh.

"It was that bad, huh?" she said draping her arm over my shoulder. I nodded, tears forming in my eyes.

"Well it's his loss. I mean, who wouldn't like a beautiful girl like you, who's very talented, smart, and kind. It would be stupid for him to not like you." she assured me.

"How can he? He is a player!" I blurted without thinking.

"H-He's a player?" she asked seriously. I nodded slowly. "I don't want you to get hurt....." she pointed out.

A tear slipped from my eye, when I started thinking about dad. "But......" she started. I quickly looked at her. "I think it is possible for you to change his heart." she chuckled causing me to smile.

"What should I do" I asked full of confusion.

"Try to get him to like you." she said with a smile. I nodded and gave her a big, tight, hug. "Thanks mom." I said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

I quickly ran back into my room and picked up my phone. I went to my calling history and went to his contact. I clicked the like message button and clicked on it. It automatically took me to the iMessage app. I began to type.

Me: Hi
Zach: Um.....hi :/
Me: Look, I've been thinking....
Zach: Well that's dangerous....
Me: Meet me at the park
Zach: Ok......
Me: See ya :)
Zach: Bye ;)

I went over to my closet and pulled out a cream colored jumper, black leggings, and a pair of tan UGGs. Since it is night time, it may be a bit chilly.

It changed into the clothes and went into the bathroom to get my hair done. I did a side braid, and took off all my makeup. I just applied light mascara and some lip balm.

I grabbed my phone and slipped it in my bra. Do other people do that? I know it is weird, but how else am I going to carry it?

I walked out of my bedroom and down the steps. "Mom I am going out." I said looking up at the clock above the door. It said "8:30" on it. Man, it is late.

"Okay, honey. Remember, your curfew is 10:00." she reminded me.

"Yes I know mom." I said rolling my eyes.

"Where are you going?" my mom asked as she came walking out of the kitchen.

"I am going to fix things between me and Zach. I kind of hung up on him because I was all fired up about the date." I said looking at the ground.

"So, Zach is his name. Be careful Rachel, honey." she warned before walking away. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the table where my keys were.

I picked them up and walked out of the house. I walked over to the driveway where my car was. It is an odd color, but I got it painted like that. I love astronomy. I find it very interesting and cool.

I slid into the delicate car and started it up. I pulled out of the driveway and onto the main road.

The park is very close, enough to walk. But, since it is dark, you wouldn't want to walk around. You don't know who could be roaming around out here.

I made it to the park and parked in one of the parking lots. There were a few people on the playset. Mostly kids in middle school were still out. There was a couple sitting on the bench under the trees.

I turned the car off and got out. I looked around and noticed Zach standing by the lake.

He was wearing the same thing as before, but he was also wearing a black hoodie. A smile grew on my face as he was turned toward the lake.

I walked up behind him, trying not to make a noise. I poked his shoulder and he turned to face me. I smiled at him as he did the same.

"Hey...." I said looking down at the ground.

"Hi." he responded. We both started walking, God knows where.

"Sorry about my reaction earlier..." I began to blush. It is so awkward. Why did I have to come? I could be at home, watching Netflix, and eating ice cream.

"It's okay-" he started.

"Every month, girls get their periods. I was just having a mood swing, and I am sorry." I said, tears forming. Why am I so emotional? It's just crazy. Probably a mood swing.

"Like I said, it's ok. I get it. And I wouldn't want to be friends with me either." he responded with a smirk. God, I hate it when he smirks.

We continued to walk for like an hour. We just talked about ourselves. Turns out, his mom died when he was 5. I feel kind of bad for him. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

His favorite color is blue, his favorite food is cheeseburgers, and his favorite movie is Big Hero 6. I love that movie.

I told him that my favorite color is purple, my favorite food is Party Mix, and my favorite movie is Big Hero 6 also. I love Baymax, he is so cute. He is like a giant walking marshmallow.

"I have to get back home." I said sounding a little "disappointed" that I had to leave.

"Curfew?" he chuckled. I giggled and nodded.

"Well, bye. See you tomorrow, Rachel." he said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes playfully and smiled.

"You're so annoying." I said in a serious tone. We made it to my car and his eyes widened when he saw it.

"That's your car!?" he said in awe. "And you love astronomy?" he ran up to the car and placed his hand on the hood.

"Hey!! Don't scratch it!" I said quickly as I swatted his hand away, "It's expensive." He turned to face me.

A wide smile was plastered across his face, which caused me to "blush". It is really easy to make yourself blush, especially when you are a good actress. Lol.

"Well thanks for this walk...." I said awkwardly after the long, awkward, silence.

"No problem, any time." he said wiggling his eyebrows. I giggled.

I waved him goodbye and got into my car and drove away.
