Forever, Noen

Fair//Chapter 5

*Maggie's POV*

My eyes slowly fluttered open as I woke up. I rolled over in bed and just lied there for a moment. I rubbed the tiredness out of my eyes and sat up to put my glasses on. Dried tears rested upon my cheeks from last night, and I awoke with a headache. Today, I was going to tell Noen I'd made a decision.

Before I did anything, I took a shower and brushed my teeth. I got a text as I was putting my hair up. I walked over to my phone to see a text from Noen; "hey, the fairs finally in town. I was wondering if you wanted to go tonight?" I responded with a simple "sure," but the smile was evident on my face, although he couldn't see it. "Okay, cool. Meet me there at 7:00. And don't forget to bring a jacket. It's starting to get cold."

I sent my response and put my phone down. I walked over to my closet to begin picking an outfit, but I figured I still had plenty of time. Since I was already meeting Noen at the fair later today, I didn't bother on going to the skatepark. I checked the time; 11:00 am. Roughly 7 and a half hours left until I had to leave. I was so nervous to tell Noen I'd made my decision.

I rehearsed a million different sentences in my head, and I still couldn't decide how to tell him. I know how he felt a month ago, and I know what the most recent letter said, but how was I to know if he still loved me? If I tell him I'm ready to be with him, what if doesn't still feel the same? And, if I tell him I don't wanna be with him, what if that hurts him? I guess we'll find out.

I invited Mags- I mean, Maggie, to the fair today. I've decided to try to refrain from calling her that from now on. I gave her that nickname when I still loved her. Well, let me rephrase; I do still love her, I'm just trying hard to move on. Maybe if I keep telling myself that I don't love her, it'll work.

Anyway, I had quite the surprise for Maggie tonight. Two surprises, actually. Depending on how she feels about me, she might hate them, or, she could love them. It's hit or miss I guess. I didn't go to the skatepark today. Not that I didn't wanna skate, I just wanted to avoid the risk of seeing Maggie until later.

I checked the time; 12:00 pm, an hour since I'd asked Maggie. I was nervous for Maggie's response to the surprises I had in store. I was just scared she wouldn't approve. I surely hope she does. I guess we'll find out.

~Time skip: 6 hours~

I had to leave in 30 minutes. My usual, daily makeup was already on. My hair was still up in a bun, but I'll take it down shortly. I walked over to my closet to pick an outfit. Once I realized I couldn't decide, I knew I should've picked it out earlier.

After nearly 5 minutes of just staring at all of the clothes in my closet, I finally picked an outfit. I threw on my cream colored turtle neck, black, ripped jeans, and black combat boots. I pulled out my orange corduroy jacket, and laid it on my bed so I could grab it as I was leaving. Quickly, I put on a few necklaces, rings, and my earrings. I sat in front of my vanity and took my hair down.

I tousled the auburn waves for a minute until I got them the way I wanted. I looked at myself and took a deep breath. It was now 6:25 pm and I decided to start leaving. I grabbed my phone, purse, and keys, and headed out the door. With the sound of leaves filling my ears as I walked to my car, I made sure I had everything.
