Malachi Barton

You and Malachi dated for 9 months before your parents made you dump him because they said you “don’t know what true love is.” Your mom, Emilia, especially doesn’t like Malachi for no honest reason. She hates him. Malachi is the sweetest and most thoughtful person you know. Which is the COMPLETE opposite of your mom. But your dad, Arthur, is a really sweet person too, just not as sweet as Malachi when it comes to you.

The worst part about the break up is that two hours after it happened, your mom went crazy and cussed out Malachi’s parents, Felicia and Loren Barton, saying they need to raise their child better.

You seriously thought about running away…

You and Malachi text daily, as if you both never broke up. You both talk about anything, anywhere, anytime. Well, except the breakup and your parents… You never, ever speak about that. Every time you even hint at the breakup, it makes you upset, and it makes Malachi upset to see you so down on yourself about it.

You still love him, and it breaks your heart to not be able to have him as yours. At night, when you’re laying in your bed texting him, you find yourself smiling at his every text and crying yourself to sleep afterward.

Now:

You and Malachi are both in geometry class, sitting across the room from each other, texting under the desk, making eye contact, and then bursting with loud laughter over nothing. Then… he texts you something serious: “I miss you”........
