Chapter 48

** Angie's POV & Thoughts **

"Hey, babe?" Jeremiah asked as he drove to the place where i'd be recording the album.

"Yea, what's up?" I answered.

"Is it true that your a um smoker?" he asked anxiously.

"Okay, i'll be honest with you. I have smoked cigarettes before but I promise you that I haven't done it for more than six or seven times" I said.

"Babe, its not good for you. It's not healthy for your body" he said.

"I know, but I need sometimes, when no one was really there for me. I just felt like I didn't need to be here" I said.

"Babe, you're worth it. You should have never done it" he said with a serious tone.

"I didn't feel like I did and plus it made me feel better" I responded.

"You are. It made you feel better? You think your going to feel better when you get some disease or even die?" he questioned.

"I'm sorry, I just had to" I said with a sad tone, i felt like I was going to cry at any point.

"Princess" he said stopping the truck and stopping on the side.

"Hey, look at me" he said tilting my head so I could see him.

"Babe, you're beautiful and worth it. Don't you ever think you're not worth it. You may not think your perfect but in my eyes your perfect the way you are. I don't want you to smoke because it can impact you. I lost my best friend to cigarettes and I don't want to lose you because you're my everything" he said and I couldn't stop smiling at his words.

"Thank you Jeremiah, I don't know what i'd do without you. I promise you that i'll do my best to not smoke at all anymore" I said then kissing and hugging him.

"I mean it, you're like my best friend, most importantly my beautiful girl" he said.

"You're honestly amazing, how did I get lucky to meet you" I said.

"The real question is how did I get lucky to meet you" he said back.

"Yea, seriously. I really don't have many friends, obviously so i'm glad that I have you with me" he said with a smile.

"I'm glad that you feel that way because I'm glad I have you" I said.

"Just, don't smoke, instead when you feel alone or something come to me no matter what" he said.

"Okay, thank you I will" I said and he smiled and started driving again.

"So what are you going to do now?" he asked referring to my lovable friends and family. Sarcasm!

"Probably hate and ignore most" I said. Shawn, Nash, and Cameron pissed me off. Jacob did at first, but I guess it was a father thing. The rest were on their fucking man period except for Matt

"I know that ya feelin' a bit mad but they're your friends. You can't stay mad at they forever" he said.

"My dad doesn't like you and was a bit rude to you" I said.

"I know, but who cares what he thinks bout me. He's your dad, you can't stay mad at him darlin'" he lectured.

"What about Cameron, Nash, and Shawn? They literally were jerks to you" I said.

"I know, but they seemed to have a bad day, but I'm still offended but i'll move on" he said.

"Gosh, why are you so sweet and nice" I said.

"Simple, I was raised this way" he said.

"Yea, a charming gentlemen from the south" I said holding his hand.
