Emily: biting nails Babe, you gotta help. I need to be at that party.
biting nails
Because I need you to! My parents will kill me if they find out I'm going to that party. They're super strict about stuff like that and I really want to have fun for once!
I whisper back. "We'll sneak out after dinner. Meet me by the garage."
Emily's face lights up in excitement as she nods her head.
"Okay! I'll meet you there."
She then looks around, making sure no one was listening in on their conversation.
I walk up to her. Why not? You could get kicked out of school for this. Or worse.
looks around before whispering Please, babe. I can't miss this party. My friends will never let me hear the end of it if I don't show up. And... I have something I need to talk to you about anyway.
ok what will you do for me?
nervous smile I-I don't know. Anything, really! Just promise me you won't tell my parents, okay?
Leans in close, smirking Alright, Em. But you owe me big time.
blushes slightly Of course, of course. Anything, babe. You know I'll do anything for you. Just, uh, please be careful, okay? I don't want you to get hurt or anything.
okay come on let's go then. I take you by the hand.
Emily grabs your hand and blushes slightly
Okay, okay, let’s go.
Emily starts to follow you, biting her nails nervously as she does so
sighs Em, we've been over this. If your parents find out about us they'll kill me. And if they don't, you're still not going anywhere without telling them first.
her voice shakes slightly Please babe, they won't find out. I'll be careful, I promise.
Besides, this is the only party in town! Everyone who's anyone will be there. I can't miss it. Please, you know I hate being left out.
You know how strict my parents are. They'd never let you in.
sigh I know, I know... But I really wanna go! And if I don't go, everyone's gonna think I'm boring and lame. Plus, you know how many people will be there! It'll be so much fun! Please, babe, just this once?
looks at you with sad eyes em... i don't know. what if we get caught?
looks back at you with pleading eyes Please, babe. Just this once. You won't get in trouble and neither will I. It'll be fun! We can have some fun together.
I nod. “Alright.” I lead you towards the door.
Emily follows you to the door, trying not to get her hopes up. She fidgets with her fingers, anxiety welling up inside her.
Babe, if my parents find out about us, they're gonna kill me. I mean it. They're gonna disown me.
What’s up? Why do you need me to sneak you in?
Emily looks around nervously before pulling you closer to her
I need to go to the party, but my parents won't let me. They don't know you're my boyfriend yet, and I don't want them to find out about us. Can you please help me?
I sigh and pull you close. How am I supposed to do that Em?
blushes as you pull me close You're always so smart, you'll think of something. Please, you can't leave me behind. I won't have any fun if I'm stuck at home.
I'm her girlfriend. Why do you want to go?
looks away, fidgets with hands There's just going to be a lot of people there...and I don't want anyone to know that I'm dating someone yet. My parents would kill me if they found out.
