Live in the Moment

The Mall

"There is like no parking what so ever." Stacie growled. "Oh really what's that?" I asked as I drove to the parking spot. I pulled in and we hopped out. Stacie and I have been best friends since the play pin years. We have been through everything together and have done everything together. One summer we went to cheer camp together and we stayed there the entire summer. It was the best. Stacie is not my best friend, she is my unbiological sister. We walked to our favorite stores and we bought a lot of stuff. I had 11 shopping bags and Stacie had 9. We walked to the food courts and got Japanese food. We talked and laughed. Man I love my sister so much. It was around 4:30. We decided to leave and on our way out there was a couple teen boys walking our direction. "What are you two little ladies doing?" One asked. "Leaving!" We pushed threw. The other put his hand on Stacie's butt. She turned around and dropped her bags. "Oh hell to the no!" She kicked him in his balls. "Stacie!" I laughed. "What the hell are you laughing at?" The other one slapped me. "Omg! Get away from us before I call the cops." I yelled to him. "duuuuude I can go back to jail." the boy on the floor said. "Let's bail!" They ran away. "Are you okay?!" Stacie looked at me. "Yeah, lets go." I said while we picked up our bags. "I don't know which ones are which." Stacie sighed. "Oh well we can find out when we get to the house." I told her. "Hey we should double date tonight. Me, you, Trevor, and John." Stacie suggested. "Ehhh, I don't know. You can text Trevor then he can text John and they can figure it out. I guess what I'm trying to say is if everyone is in, I'm in." I said. "Okay I will text Trevor and I will tell him to ask John." Stacie smiled as she texted Trevor. I laughed at her. "Omg Taylor, shut up." She laughed. Bing! Bing! "Trevor said cool with me. I'll ask him." Stacie told me as I changed the song. Bing! Bing! "He is only in if Taylor is in and she's cool with it." Stacie read the text aloud. "Like I said if everyone is in, I'm in." I said while looking at the road ahead of me. "So yeah?." She asked. I turned and looked at her funny. "Yeah shes in!" She texted Trevor. Ringggg! Ringgg! Ringg! John cut off my music by calling me. "Heyyy John, What's up." I asked. "Uhm nothing much. So uh we are double dating tonight?" He asked. "Yup, I'm on board with it. Tonight @ 7:00 we are meeting up at Chico's and gonna have a blast." I told him. "Uhm what kind of 'blast' are you talking about hm?!" He moaned thinking he is gonna get lucky. Stacie cracked up laughing so hard she cried. She started to snort, so I cracked up. "Stace, You alright?" John asked being sarcastic. "Oh be quiet." Stacie laughed. "See you tonight, bye." I said and hung up the phone as he said goodbye. About five minutes later we were at my house. We made 2 trips getting the shopping bags. We walked up to my room with all of the shopping bags. "Looks like you to had a good day." Zach groaned. "Why so grumpy, Mr. Grumpy Gills?" I laughed. "Monica called me today and said she is pregnant. So mom grounded me." Zach slumped against the wall. "Oh my god. Are you guys staying together or no?" Stacie asked. "Yeah. I got the girl pregnant so I'm not dumping her." He said as we walked into my room. He slumped down on my bed with his forearms on my knees looking to the floor. "We should take him and Monica to Chico's with us." Stacie mouthed to me. "Yeah but do you think he can handle it. You know being with Monica breaking the news to him not so long ago." I mouthed back. "Who cares, ask him." Stacie mouthed. I sighed. "Hey uhm, Stacie and I were meeting up a couple of boys at Chico's.. Do you and Monica want to come with?" I asked. He said nothing. Moments to minutes of silence went by. "So is that a yes or.." I asked awkwardly. He again said nothing. A minuted past and he let out with a sigh, "Who are the boys?" "Trevor and John." Stacie said softly. "And Nick will be there." I added. "Do you want me to call Monica?" I asked. "Only if she wants to, but go ahead." He said quietly. I looked on my phone for Monica's number. I found it and lifted my phone up to my ear. She answered. She was crying. "Stay here and support him." I mouthed to Stacie. I walked outside my room. "Monica... It's Taylor... Why are you crying?" I asked. All I heard was crying. A few minutes later she said, "I'm pregnant and I think your brother doesn't want this to happen and he doesn't love me." She continued to cry. I heard my brother sobbing. "Hey look Mon, Me and Stacie are going on a double date and My brother wanted to know if you're in to make it a triple date ate Chico's... tonight?" I told her. She cried into a silence. "Are you sure he wants to do this?" She asked while trying to dry up her tears. "Yes hon, he does. He loves you so much." I said to her softly. "Okay." she said. "Mon, I know we have our differences but meet me at my house before.." I looked at the time, 5:27." Meet me and Stacie here at my house at 5:45 the latest. Don't worry Zach won't be here and you can stay the night and me, you, and Stacie can have a girls weekend. Does that sound okay?" I asked. "Okay I'm on my way and your brother better not be there." Monica said to me. "Oh he won't. Bye Bye." I hung up the phone. I walked into my room and grabbed my brother and walked him outside and told him to get in my car. He did as he was told. "I'm going around the corner to John's, get our outfits out and wait for Monica." I screamed to her as I backed out the driveway. I drove around the corner and parked on the curb outside John's house and we walked up to the front door. I rang the door bell twice. He opened the door. "Because you love me and I'm excited for tonight, but here, our double date is know a triple date. I will explain later." I said as I kissed him on the cheek. I got and my car and drove back to my house. As I pulled up in my drive way Monica was walking up to my front door. She didn't notice until I slammed my car door shut.
