Sisters are LIFE people!
I was lying on my bed and just had called Talia and told her everything, she said at least I was going and didn't care if it was with Bryan. Ugh.
The someone knocked on my door, I sat up and said come in. It was Izzy "Izzy? what are you doing here?" I asked she never came to my room unless she needed help with her homework, but she didn't have a notebook or anything with her.
"Ok, I'm just gonna say it, because I have to" she said taking in a deep breath.
"Um okay, at least sit" I said and she sat facing me.
"You never talk to me anymore, remember how much fun we used to have when we were young. You don't talk to me about your problems or ask if I have a crush or anything. You're always either with Talia, Mom, Aunt Clarice, but you never talk to me anymore." I did not expect her to come and say this to me. I was shocked and was trying to transfer all of this.
"Oh Izzy I didn't even know you wanted to talk to me. You're always with Ben and I thought you didn't want me to talk to you." She never talked to me when we were sitting next to eachother in the car or eating breakfast alone.
"I know I should've asked about your problems, but I thought you'd get mad at me" She said looking at her hands, I hugged her.
*******
We talked for a while and apologized, then decided to get some snacks and stay up a little late.

"So now that we're good, can you tell me why you don't want to go to a party?!" Izzy asked lying down on her stomach and her hands were under her chin.
"Because I don't like what happens at them" I said honestly
"What, the making out or the drinking?" Izzy asked, I hit her shoulder.
"I'm two years younger than you, why are you treating me like I'm six, and not talking honestly" she complained.
"Izzy" I said thinking of how to change the conversation " You know how you said, I never asked if you had a crush...well who do you like?" I said smiling gleefully
She put a pillow over her head "STOPPPP! I'm not telling you!" She said but I could see she was smiling. I started laughing.
"Fine I'll ask Ben" I said getting up
"What? No! He doesn't even know" she exclaimed
"Of course he doesn't" I said sarcastically.
I opened the door to outside in my room and went straight to Bryan's house, to be exact his room.
I knocked on the door a couple times and he opened the door just a creak and walked away, I opened the door fully and went inside, and I saw Bryan shirtless putting a shirt in his closet. I looked at how he had muscles and how they were clearer when he flexed to close the closet. He had abs, eight or six, I was too distracted for math. He turned toward me in my shorts and bralette and smirked. I quickly noticed I forgot to pit on a hoodie and felt uncomfortable.
"Ashley you're staring" he said still looking at my bralette.
"N-no you're the one who's doing that!" I said I went over to his closet and grabbed a hoodie
"I'm borrowing this, thank you" I said before putting it on.
"Aw come on, you looked hot" He said with a smirk. My heart stopped beating for a couple seconds, I grabbed a shirt and threw it at his face gaining back my senses.
"I am hot" I winked "Put on a shirt, and maybe you won't get hit." and before he could reply I shut the door of his room and went downstairs. I went straight to Ben's room and didn't knock.
He was playing a game on his monitor. He took off his headphones when he noticed me.
"Hey! Can't a guy have some privacy?" Ignoring him, I asked "who does Izzy like?" He looked annoyed "Ugh if I tell you will you leave me alone?" I nodded.
"Sam" he said, it didn't ring a bell, I had no idea who that was. So I just went upstairs, back to my house. As I was leaving Bryan said "My hoodie?" I rolled my eyes and threw the damn hoodie at his face and shut the door. I went over to my room and saw that Izzy was sleeping, I gently put her legs on one side because she was all over the bed, and went to sleep.
*********
"Ashy wake up!" I woke up to a little hand trying to shake me, I sat up squinting.
"What happened Jack?" I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes. He tried climbing on to my bed, but failed. My bed had a lot of height since I liked them, but poor Jack had trouble getting on it. I pulled him up and he sat in front of me smiling.
"Mommy said she need to talk to you about something important" He said lying down, exhausted after trying to climb up. I rubbed my chin thinking, then I went closer to Jack "Was Mommy in a good mood or a bad one?" I whispered.
"Um maybe medium" He said and then rolling on the bed, I ruffled his hair and said "Wish me luck!" before getting off the bed and wearing my hoodie.

After quickly brushing my teeth and doing my morning skin care I went downstairs. Mom was sitting at the breakfast table drinking coffee and reading a book. "Good morning, you wanted to talk to me?" I said sitting down and pouring myself a glass of lemon infused water.
"Hi sweetie, yes I need to talk to you" She said putting her book on the side with her book mark in it. I waited for her to continue. "Ok so I talked to Aunt Clarice yesterday and she said you didn't want to go to this party Cassie's throwing?" She said sipping her coffee.
I sighed "Mom, why does everyone have to get involved in this" I whined.
"We just have to since your making silly choices and missing out on so much."
If this was last year, no one would've pushed me, but told me that I could do what I want if it makes me happy, why are these 'sisters' forcing me to go to a freaking party, I've never heard of it! Like you should be happy your daughter doesn't hook up with guys or drink, people are so ungrateful!
"Mom okay I'm going ok, you don't have to convince me" I said defeated
"I know. You are going to go with Bryan" She said calmly and took another big sip.
"What?! First of all we haven't fought so why this punishment, and second of all Bryan doesn't want to go with me either and has a date."
"Ashley make up any excuse you want, but you're going, the only thing you can pick is if you want to try those cupcakes you've been crazy about" She said. I had a confused expression on my face. She explained "You will get to go to that Holly's cupcakes you wanted to go for so long".
My eyes lit up. Holly's cupcakes were in another city almost three hours away, and mom wouldn't take me there, and I wasn't going to be able to drive, so I had given up and thought I'd never get to try those delicious, mouth watering cupcakes. This was ok now, I just go to the party with Bryan and I could go anywhere in the house or even to a park nearby and wait there while Bryan partied, and then we'd go back home together. So I'd get my cupcakes and some time for myself.
"Ok fine mom, but can I go shopping with Talia for a dress today?"
"That's it, that was all it took to convince you, some cupcakes?" My mom asked in disbelief, I nodded smiling thinking about my plan.
"Yes you can go, pick a nice dress, and not something too revealing" she warned, I nodded and skedaddled off to my room to message Talia we could go shopping today.
As I was about to leave Izzy knocked on my door "Hi Izzy" I said putting my wallet in my bag. "You're going shopping without me?" she asked. "Well I'm going with Talia, but I don't think Talia will mind if you come, besides you've got good style." I said.
"Ok but you're not driving" she said. I nodded "Of course not, Talia's picking us up."
Do you think Ashley's plan will work? It sounds like it will. Also why do parents have to be so bossy sometimes? Like don't own us!...well I guess they do in a way 'till you're 18, but still. Let's see if her parents were wrong to force Ashley like that
Love y'all <3
