I walk up to the picnic table where everyone is. By 'everyone' I mean Luke, Grey, Myles and Boo.
I take a seat across from Grey. Myles is sitting to the right of me.
The morning after I slept over at Boo's house, I packed my shit and came to school. When school was over, I went home.
When I got home, Mom was in the living room reading a book. I walked in and she gave me a hug then she told me that Dad went on a last minute golfing trip with his buddies from Bear Creek. Which is the next town over.
She told me that he wouldn't be back until Monday.
Thank fucking God, I'm so relieved that he won't be here for a few days.
It felt so good to sleep in my own fucking bed last night.
Anyway, present day. Myles brings up a dream he had. "Bro, you should of seen the dream I had the other night."
"Which dream?" Grey asks.
"You know, the dream I was telling you about. The one I had on Wednesday night." Myles says.
When Myles mentions Wednesday night I look at Boo. He's sitting on the concrete half wall, behind the picnic table. I give him a glare, shake my head, no and mouth 'don't say a fucking word'. Boo just nods his head in agreement.
I turn my attention back to the conversation, I didn't hear the first half of Myles's story but I catch the ending.
"And then she started doing this thing with her tongue" Myles sighs and stares off into the distance. "Man... it was probably one of the best dreams I've ever had."
"Yeah, and then you woke up to soaking wet sheets, alone and with a stiffy" Luke laughs.
Everyone starts laughing except me, Myles rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He reaches over the table and slaps Luke on the side of the head.
I hear a female voice coming from behind me. I know exactly who it is, which is why I don't turn around.
Ember...
I feel her hands on my shoulders then they snake around my neck then I feel her body push up against my back.
She whispers in my ear and I can feel her breath against my ear. "Hey baby."
I almost fucking puke to the sound of her calling me 'baby'.
Ever since Ember told me that she loves me, she's been fucking calling and texting me nonstop. She even showed up at my house a few times.
I told Mom to tell Ember that I was at Boo's house then I guess she left after Mom told her.
She never texted me asking me where I was, not that it's any of her business.
She also started calling me 'baby' and 'babe', I've never wanted to tear my ears off faster. I hate when she fucking calls me that.
I stand up from my seat, which causes her to release her arms from around my neck.
