"Clem!" Tyler yelled
"What?!"
"I'm working on my first album."
I immediately sat up.
"What?! That's amazing T. let me hear."
"Nope, not until it's finished."
"What? That's not fair, I want to hear it now." I whined
"Yes it is, you'll hear it before I release it."
"Ugh, when are you gonna release it?"
"December 25."
"Nooo that's like a whole *stops to count* 4 months away."
"I know but it'll be worth it, I promise."
"So you can't let me hear a little?"
"Nope."
"See if I were to start a fashion empire I'd let you see my designs."
"You can come to my studio session with syd tonight?"
"Bet I'd love to."
"Cool."
He went downstairs and got something to eat. I was on instagram and I saw a post from someone from our school saying that we were missing, and the comments were like, #FindT&C, #Bringthemhome, ect. I rolled my eyes and laughed so hard. I went over to my snap and people were blowing me up. To shut everybody I decided to make a tik tok with tyler. I ran downstairs and there he was eating some cereal and watching youtube on his phone.
"Aye make this video with me aight?"
"No."
"Too fucking bad."
I took the cereal box and leaned my phone up against it to make a tik tok.
"This is for Rachel you big fat white nasty smellin fat bitch." I mouth poking his head
"Why you took me off the muhfuckin schedule with you triflin dirty ass white racist ass big fat bitch oompa loompa body ass bitch"
He just looked at me like I what's wrong with you.
"I'm comin up there and I'm gone beat the fuck outta you bitch."
"I-" He started but then continued to eat
"I had to make a video cause people said we were reported missing."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, you didn't see you got tagged?"
"Nope."
"Oh well yeah the whole thing is stupid."
"That's crazy."
I saved the video and posted it on my story and to Instagram with the caption "not mIsSiNg just vibing" I sat down next to T. and looked at some of my snap memories which were really just me and Tyler. Then I get a facetime call from one of my old friends back home Stasi. (St-ah-cee) And I answered it.
S: Where are you?!
C: Home
S: That's not your house tho
C: It's our house, right T?
I held up my phone so that it showed me and Tyler.
S: Wait so y'all livin together now?
C: Yeah
S: How aren't you like 16?
C: Yeah and T's 17 he just used a fake ID
S: Damn, so y'all are still in Nebraska right?

S: Woooooow, I'm happy for y'all, so you seen any cute boys
C: Well there's this one guy-
S: What's his name
C: Rocky, and he's really cute, and he took me out yesterday
S: Please tell me you wore something nice, not your usual baggy pants-
C: What's wrong with my pants? And yes I wore a dress
S: Good, and your pants, that's a whole other story
Then I got a text from him
C: He just texted me
S: What'd he say
I put her on paused and read the text
C: I'ma take you out for lunch, be ready in 15
S: Well what are you waiting for?! Go get dressed
C: ok ok ok
S: And text me everything that happens throughout the date ok?
C: Alright stass, I'll text you ok
S: Bye b
I hung up and got ready for lunch. I had just came out the shower and I heard the doorbell ring.
"Tyler! I'm not ready yet, can you tell him to wait a sec?!"
(A/N think of the scene from Clueless when Cher wasn't ready and asked Josh to get the door)
Tyler
I got up and answered the door.
"What's good bro." He said dapping me up
"Nothin much she just got out the shower; you can chill, watch TV whatever." I said walking back into the kitchen
"Tyler." Clem unsuccessfully whispered from the top of the stairs
As she peaking only her head out from the curtain that was cover the bedroom portion of the house.
"Yeah?"
She signaled me to come up there.
"Oh hey Rocky didn't see you there."
"Hey Clem."
"You're such a loser." I laughed
When I got up there. She had on pants and shoes and was wearing a blue bra. I mean, how could I not look. Well not like I haven't seen them before.
"Ok, I don't know which shirt to wear."
I sat on the looking at all the shirts on the floor.
"Ok this one." She suggested holding up a pink crop top hoodie
"Or this one?" She said holding up a red baseball tee
"Ok, I do see your predicament."
"Tyler! Help me pick one."
"Uh the pink one."
"Are you sure?" She asked biting her lip
"Yeah."
"Ok, thanks."
She put on the pink one and took a deep breath in.
"You look fine, it doesn't matter what you wear, he likes you for you." I told her
"Aww thanks T."
She walked down and Rocky looked at her with excitement.
"You look pretty."
"Thanks."
Rocky gave her a little kiss on the lips and they headed to the door.
"Bye Tyler." They both said
"Bye guys."
Since I had nothing to do I went down to the record store.
Clementine
We were in the car listening to music.
"Ok so about yesterday-" I started
"It's completely fine; even though you lowkey were sexually harassing me it's ok."
"What're you talking about?"
"You when you tried to seduce me remember."
I stayed silent and started to mentally freak out.
"I'm just kidding."
Then I let out a breath and laughed.
"So I didn't try to seduce you, or harass you?"
"No you did, I just don't care."
Then I started to freak out again.
"But maybe we can do what you wanted to do, later on down the road."
I felt my face heat up and we arrived at a little cafe. And across from it was a beach. We got out the car and walked in. We talked a little waiting for someone to seat us. In my peripheral vision I saw this older white man looking me up and down smirking. Once I finally looked at him he made a kissy face so I got nervous, stood closer to Rocky, and held his hand.
"You good?" He asked
"Yeah."
"Alright; it's just the two of you?" A waiter asked
"Yeah." He responded
"Ok follow me."
We followed him to a two seater and we sat across from each other.
"Alright I'll give you some time to look over the menus and I'll be back."
"Ok."
"So what's the deal with your family, you've never mentioned anything?" He asked
"Well, when I was 3, my mom died-"
"Damn, I'm sorry for your loss."
"Thanks, and ever since then I had to live with my Dad and he's such an asshole. He'd always make mean comments about me and made me feel lesser of myself."
"Damn, so where is he?"
"In Nebraska."
"So you moved from Nebraska to California?"
Should I tell him about the running away part? Mmm? I don't know.
"Well not technically moved but something like that."
"What do you mean?"
Well I think I just sold myself short.
"Well me and Tyer...sorta ran away."
"Woah, what?!"
"Yeah, his mom was never home and I didn't wanna keep living with my Dad and so now; here we are. And plus we wanted to chase our dream and I couldn't do that in fucking Nebraska."
"That's so cool. I smell a little bit of ambition."
"I guess you could say."
"Alright and what drinks will it be?" The waiter asked
"Um, a strawberry lemonade." I said
"And a coke."
"Just give me one second."
"Ok your turn; where you from?" I asked
"New york."
"Yeah the accent gave it away. Wait a minute say 'mario cart'"
"Marry-o caught."
I started laughing and he just shook his head.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, so what'd you do back there?"
"Well when I was 14 I started selling drugs and shit to make money. Then I got caught and went to juvy."
"Damn, sounds like you was a lil bad boy."
"Yeah I was." He laughed
"So you said one of the reasons you came here was to chase your dreams; what's your dream."
"To start a fashion empire and to start a summer camp for kids and teens interested in fashion."
"That's so cool, I wanna help you with that."
"I'm down."
I wasn't really too excited on the idea of him helping me out with that cause it was for me and Tyler to strive for together.
"So what do you do?" I asked
"I rap."
"That makes sense."
"Whatchu mean?"
"You sending me money, that fancy place we went to with all them celebrities. Your clothes. What's your number one song?"
Then he sighed.
"What is it? Is it bad?"
"Nah."
"Then tell me." I laughed
"rmgitnie megirne." He mumbled
"What?"
"unmr pgreng."
"You're still not saying it."
"Fucking problems."
"Oh shit! I love bad bitches that's my fucking problem. And yeah I like to fuck that's my fucking problem-"
"Shut up." He said annoyed
"Why are you so embarrsed about that?"
"Cause it's like that all niggas know me for. I got so many good songs that people over look cause of f'in problems."
"Oh. I'm sorry." I said looking down
"It's cool it's not that deep."
"Well tonight I'm gonna to listen to all your songs. And then I'll tell you my favorite one."
"Bet."
We ordered some food and had good talks. Then we walked around a few places and then I saw a candy store.
"Ou let's go in there!" I said pointing at it
"Alright."
We walked inside and all I saw was candy candy candy. Oh and some stuffed animals.
"Aww this thing is so cute." I said looking a huge plush peep
"You want it?" He asked
"Nah." I said hiding my smile
"Just get it ma."
"Ok!" I said quickly
I picked it up and went to the little self serve things. I didn't wanna seem fat so I just looked like I was deciding.
"What's your favorite candy?" I asked
"Gummy bears."
"Cute, me too."
"Woah I never knew they had grapefriut gummy bears." He said
"Grapefruit what?"
"Gummy bears. I'ma get some."
"I want some too."
"Alright we just finna share a bag ok?"
"Ok."
We picked out some more candy and paid for everything.
"Thanks." I said
"Don't mention it."
We walked past a few more stores and I had to ask him an important question.
"So...what our we?" I asked
"I want to be yours. And I want you to be mine. But that's all up to you ma."
"Well..."
"Stop playing clem." He laughed
"Alright, I'd love to be yours."
"Good." He said kissing my cheek
I blushed and we just walked and talked. Eventually we went back to his car and he drove me home. He walked me up to the apartment and we stood in front of the door.
"Thanks Rocky. I really had fun today."
"No problem, and I'm glad."
He gave me a kiss and we said bye. I smiled so hard and walked inside.
