“It’s been one full week guys... ONE FULL WEEK!” I yelled to Michelle shaking her by the shoulders.

“Get a hold of yourself woman!” She yelled slightly slapping me. I gasped.

“Thank you.” I said dazed.
So one week had passed and Saturday night had fallen upon me. One full week of having Tyler and Kayla Dentwood (yeah she changed it...) at my school and Kayla has attached herself like a killer leach to me!

“Mia... MIA!” Val screamed, I looked up at her surprised.

“WHAT!” I screamed back. First I received a blow to the head, “Excuse me but FEATHERS HURT!” I yelled hitting her back with the pillow she hit me with.

“Okay but Brian is on the phone.” I took the phone from her and put it to my ear,

“Hello?” I said in a yawn.

”Hey kiddo, your Mom and I might be a bit later it’s a casino themed party and-“ I cut Brian SR off and replied,

“It’s all good Papa Gates, we’re watching movies. All doors and windows are locked plus Duke, Bowser and Phoebe are all curled up with us.” I promised. I heard his hesitation.

”Alright... we have both our phones so if anything go wrong,” He stressed on anything,

“Call you guys in a second.” I finished.

”Right, okay well I’ll see you tomorrow kid.” He said tying up the conversation.

“Bye Papa G, love you.” I said first... that was a first. We hadn’t gotten there yet but it slipped out.

”Bye Mia, love you too!” He said after a second he sounded happy but a bit surprised. I clicked end on the phone and saw Kelsey and Phoebe watching me, Kelsey slowly patted Phoebe’s head but they were confused.

“What?” I asked simply throwing the phone on the couch behind me.

“Since when did you and Mr. Gates use the ‘L’ word?” She asked. Michelle came into the living room with popcorn and chips while Val followed with drinks.

“I don’t know it sort of slipped out... he is like a Dad and since mine is gone.” I reasoned.

“So did your knew daddy say anything against boys?” Kelsey asked carefully, Bowser poked his head up at the word,

“Um no but-“

“Good! Because Brian is bringing them home now!” Kelsey said cutting me off.

“But, but, but what happened to girls night?” I asked getting flustered. Truth be told Zacky and I had been having some issues lately and I personally thought that was exactly what Kayla wanted.

“Look who cares we’re girls and we’ll have other nights!” I heard the door opened. Bowser got closer to me and Duke left Michelle and came to my other side.

“What’s up dogs?” Brian said ruffling Bowser’s fur. The others followed and I could tell a few were drunk... including mine. I loved drinking don’t get me wrong but I liked the responsibility of being trusted by my parents and having drunk boyfriends and friends over would not be a good place to start – look at me, being a poster child for goodie two shoe teenagers.

“Hey baby.” Zacky said shoeing Duke away; I glared at Zacky as he pulled me close,

I pushed back,
“You’re drunk.” I growled as he tried to pull me closer.

“No I’m not look let’s just stop fighting and just make up.” Zacky slurred planting a sloppy kiss on me,

“Zacky stop.” I grumbled into his mouth trying to force him away, everyone seemed to be in their own little world too busy to notice my predicament.

“No come on.” He mumbled pulling at my shirt,

“Zacky stop!” I hissed hitting him in the gut. He coughed and I quickly stood and ran to the door way. I grabbed my coat, purse and shoes I saw all three dogs had followed me so I quickly grabbed the blue, green and red leashes hanging beside the doors and ran into the dark night.
