Down For The Count

I'm So Sorry For Forgetting

"You're not going on the streets by yourself Pay, it's almost 10:00." I reminded, only earning an eye roll from Paisley.

"Obviously Lin. Jess is here." She said. Wait...huh?

"Why? I could've just taken you Paisley you shouldn't have bothered Jess." I said, feeling confused. Paisley just shrugged, looking down when her phone went off.

"Well that's Jess. Bye." Paisley said in an annoyed tone, slamming the door. I blinked, not sure what had just happened.

AAAAAAAAND PERIOD PAISLEY IS BACK AGAIN FOLKS

I sighed, looking at my watch. 10:04. I guess dinner's really late tonight?

I picked up my phone and called Vanessa to ask what we were having for dinner because I'm extremely hungry. After the first few rings she picked up.

"Hey babe!" She said excitedly. I smiled, laughing a little.

"Hey V. What time do you get off?" I asked curiously.

"I just got off. And yes Lin, we'll discuss dinner when I get home." Vanessa chuckled, reading my mind. Her boss is on maternity leave and has been asking her to work later, meaning later dinner.

Vanessa and I continued to discuss different things. Mostly dinner. What? Don't judge. I just had a six hour nap, I could use some food.

"Oh, also before I forget, remember to pick Paisley up at 10:15." Vanessa reminded, and suddenly everything made sense.

And suddenly I realized that I suck.

"No, no, no, no, no." I mumbled under my breath, my eyes widening as I remembered everything. "Vanessa...I forgot! Oh my god what did I just do?"

"Relax babe, you don't have to be there exactly at 10:15. I'm sure Paisley won't mind if you're fifteen minutes late or-"

"I forgot to take Paisley to the dance." I blurted, rubbing my temples.

3, 2, 1...

"YOU WHAT?! LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA ARE YOU SERIOUS?! HOW COULD-"

I hung up, not in the mood to hear Vanessa scold me. I looked at my Messages. No wonder I never got any notifications, I put them on Do Not Disturb earlier. I forgot all about that.

P-Dawg Pizzle: Lin I'm tired of watching Sebastian lol are you coming home soon?

P-Dawg Pizzle: Lin??

P-Dawg Pizzle: It's 6:00. The dance starts at 7:00. If you're not here on time I'm going to be thoroughly disappointed.

P-Dawg Pizzle: Lin come on lol

P-Dawg Pizzle: Currently 6:30, you're scaring me.

P-Dawg Pizzle: LIIIIIINN!!!

P-Dawg Pizzle: 7:04, Lin please hurry up I'm late.

P-Dawg Pizzle: WHERE ARE YOU

P-Dawg Pizzle: And now Brandon probably hates me.

P-Dawg Pizzle: Thanks Lin

I groaned, leaning back into the sofa. I really screwed up. I waited a little while and nervously, I sent a text back after carefully thinking for forty minutes, hoping that everything would be better.

Lin: Hi. I'm sorry.
