I walk inside the venue where the event is being held and my eyes instantly search for Rosie. It doesn't take me long to find her. She looks majestic that my knees weaken at her beauty. Her long hair is pulled back in a low ponytail, highlighting the beauty of her face. It is one of a kind.

"I feel like I know some of these people, but I honestly don't want to socialize with them, Do you think I can hang around with you?' I can surely go if you're waiting for someone." She rushes the last part. I love Rosie. I love her so much, but right now, she's giving me whiplash. I don't know what she wants and frankly, I think she doesn't know what she wants either. "I'm actually waiting for someone," I lie and the way her face falls makes me think that

"He wanted to come, but I refused." Her answer takes me by surprise. Why would she refuse? "I told my parents about him yesterday, so it didn't feel right to introduce him to them without giving them prior notice that I

I know you're all tired of how much I'm whining, but it's been three months and I cannot remember a single thing. I'm petrified, Silas." The way h her voice cracks breaks my heart.
