What Did You Promise Me Again?

Over the phone a few days ago, Jeremy’s mom had asked if he had finally started dating someone yet, and he spat out a lie before he could even process what was happening. But he couldn’t back out, so now both of his parents thought he had a boyfriend.

So now he had to find a boyfriend. He called every guy he knew, who all had the same answer - “I’m sorry, Jeremy, I can’t.”

Finally, he had one last name to call; one he had been hoping he would have never had to.

He took a deep breath, pressed his finger to the screen, and held the phone up to his ear.

“Hey..I need your help.”
