Marissa's POV
I can't, I could't, if I do I'd be breaking my promise to Jess, for her sake, I must try. I try to shut out the voices, try to shut out my demons. I put on Demi's music and decide to text Dylan to distract myself.
Me: Hey, Dylan. It's me Marissa.
Almost immediately I got a reply.
Dylan: Hey Riss, what's up?
Me: Nothing
Dylan: Miss me already?
Me: Nah, just talking to this cute guy I know
Dylan: Cool, I just happened to be talking to this beautiful chic I know too.
Me: Who is she?
Dylan: You wouldn't know her
Me: Hey you know this guy I'm talking to right now, he's so sweet, he asked me out just now.
Dylan: Haha, look, do you wanna hang out Saturday?
Me: Idk if I have time, lemme check it out
Dylan: Okay :(
Me: Haha jkjk sure, where to?
Dylan: You'll find out then
Me: Ooh surprises, nice touch Johnson.
Dylan: Only for you, shawty XD
Me: Needa go, bye!
Dylan: Bye babe
I logged off and started freaking out, omg, we're going out on a date! It's just 2 days away, what am I gonna wear, what if he hates me, what if it all goes wrong? I quickly texted Jess and told her about this.
Me: Hey, Jess, guess what? Dylan asked me out for this Saturday!
Jess: What????? I'm coming over now, u need to tell me what happened.
10 minutes later, the doorbell rang, I opened the door and Jess catapulted in, "What happened, why did Dylan ask you out, I thought he was dating Katherine, when did this happened?" Jess asked everything in a breath.
"Whoa, Jess, chill out. 1st of all, believe it or not, apparently Dylan loves me and not Katherine, 2nd, no, he's not dating Katherine, they broke up. And it actually happened yesterday when he came to give me the tickets and the letter."
"Okay, so I guess you guys are going out now?"
"Not really, I told him I wanted to take it slow."
"Got it, so I guess I'm here to help you decide what to wear, right?"
"Yeah."
Jess said no more but instead went into my walk in closet(rich bitch, remember?)and begun to go through my clothes. She then picked out a pair of black skinny jeans, a cute t-shirt a coulourful swirly pattern and shimmery material, a green jean jacket, some galaxy Converse sneakers and a big necklace. "There you go."
"What? Isn't this a bit too casual though?"
"Marissa, you guys aren't even dating yet."
"Oh, yeah, right, forgot about that."
"I'll come over Friday before your date to help you do your hair, make up and calm your nerves."
I laughed, "Okay, thanks Jess."
*Friday, Date Night
Marissa's POV
Jess came about an hour and a half before Dylan was supposed to pick me anf started to do my hair, she did my shoulder length brown black hair in loose curls with a side parting. Then she started on my make up, which she did naturally.
