I stepped into my front porch, about to go for my daily walk with Demi, and see a trail of yellow rose petals.
I follow the trail and reach to my shed at the back. I look at the door and see a note.
Dear Alex, The note said,
I'm sorry. Please come back to me. I promise to be better. If you want to come back meet me at the park at 9:00 PM. I love you. Always had, always will.
You know who it is.
Like I would do that. I'm just not as stupid as he thinks I am. Or maybe I am stupid for not giving him a second…wait no not second…fifth chance. I mean five chances are enough, right? Wrong two chances were enough. Not five.
I crushed the paper and threw it on the ground. I heard a gasp.
"What Demi?" I asked her. I didn't even have to turn around. I know her to well.
"I read that and I think it was sweet. I think he meant it this time."
"How do you know if he meant it? You can't believe anything you read."
"How about I go with you?"
"Are we going on our walk or not?"
"You have to!"
"Im leaving you here Demi!"
"Fine but don't say I didn't try!"
We walked back to my front porch and found a bouquet of yellow roses that wasn't there when I walked to my backyard and another note.
I know you would have done that. So here are some flowers. Your favorite…yellow roses.
"Is he stalking me?"
Demi completely ignored my question and said, "They are so cute!"
Yeah…so cute…that's the same thing she said when she saw that commercial about the homeless cats.
"Whatever Demz."
"What doesn't go on forever."
"Huh?"
"Never mind." She picked up the bouquet of flowers and smelled them. Traitor.
She looked back at me.
"You want these?"
Of course I want those they are yellow roses. But if he's watching…I know he is…then I don't want to lead him on.
"Nah…I don't think I want those…he touched it." I shook myself a little like I always did when I get grossed out.
She smelled it again, mumbled something, and laid it back on my porch.
"I'll take it after."
We went on our walk and Demi bugged me about going but I just don't think I can trust him.
