Cinderella story

Thrès

"One, two, one two ready play!" Serena shouted.
"Whoa whoa!" Me and Jasmine sing into our microphones.
"I was riding shot gun with my hair undone in the, front seat of his car."
then out of no where the lights shut off and Doug's drums were the only thing you could here. "Come on!" Everyone yelled as I exited the basement to see what the problem was. My dad was looking in the electric box thingy and frowned. "Sorry sweetie, the powers out, I'll have to call someone and fix it." He kisses my forehead and picked up the phone. I walked downstairs and sigh. "The powers out, my dads calling someone to come fix it." Everyone grumbles, "Well I've gotta go to Starbucks or something, it's starting to get boring down here." Said Serena as walked out. "Love you too!" I joke and she taps my butt on her way up the stairs. "I might as well leave to." Jake shrugs and and sets his guitar down. Doug follows him as they parade up the stairs. now it's just me and Jasmine just sort of sits there, not wanting to be rude, but also not wanting to be there at the same time. I rolled my eyes and smile at her. "I guess you should go to Jaz." She sets her guitar down and hugs me. "Bye CC." She says and I head upstairs to let her out.

About half an hour later I hear the doorbell ring. I go answer it and see Alex in the electric company shirt. A burst out laughing. "Wait. Your the electric guy?!" I say once I'm able to breath again. He nods puts his arm against the wall right next to my head, and his face gets so close to mine I could feel his breath on mine. "So your telling me you don't like a guy in uniform?" He whispers in my ear I gulp, knowing my face is as red as a tomatoe. "Um. Why don't you come in?" I ask and duck from underneath arm. I walk in and feel him right on my heels. "Just show me where the electric box is." He demands and I guid him into the living room. "Here it is." I pointed. "Just do your electric magic stuff and fix it." I joked, he chuckled and started working. "Cind, I have an over night shift at the hospital. I'll be back around, 4:30." I heard my dad say. I nodded, the hospital is 40 minutes away, and since we've decided it's not safe for him to drive after working that long, he rents a motel on his shifts sometimes. I snatched up the keys. "And your going to rent a hotel, right?" I ask. "Yes mom I promise." I mess his hair up and rub his head. "Good boy, here you go!" And give him the keys. he walked out the door saying his love yous and goodbyes. I go back into the living room.
"Well looks like it's just you and me." I sigh and lay on the couch.
"What about yours sisters?"
"Gone, their at Crystal's at a slumber party, and Bella's at on a date, and she's most likely going to stay the night."
"What about your mom?"
I'm silent for that last question. A lot of people act different around me once I tell them. Should I say that she won't be here for a while, should I say that she- screw it. He wanted to talk to me. He wants to be my friend, and if he truly doesn't want me to be honest what kind of friendship is that?!
"She um, she died when I was 10." I confessed looking down at my hands. He closed the box and set his tools down and came over to me. "I'm so sorry, it's your personal life and I shouldn't have pried and asked so many questions and-"
"It's ok Alex, I miss her, nothing is going to change that, but I sure won't spend everyday, and every minute of my life grieving over her." I say. "You um, should probably get back to work." I say quietly, not wanting to talk about this anymore. "I'm done actually, so to test it out wanna watch a movie or something?" He asks. I shrug and point to the shelf next to the TV. "Pick a movie." I say and settle into the couch. He picks a scary movie and I frown.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because..." I pause and whisper. "It's scary."
"I'll protect you." He chuckles as he puts the movie in. I get off the couch and go make popcorn in the kitchen. "You better."
******
"AHHHHH." I scream. Alex fell asleep right next to me. This is the third movie we've watched. It's about 11:00 the time all monsters come out of you closet and from under you bed to feast on your soul!
Or, at least that's what the movie says. Alex shakes his head and wakes up. "What's wrong?!" He asks rubbing his eyes.
"It's eleven."
"What?!"
"ALEX ITS FREAKIN ELEVEN AND NOW MONSTERS ARE COMING TO FEAST ON OUR SOULS!!!" I yell and wrap my arms around him terrified. "I think you should go to bed." He says sleepily. I gasp. "You want them to kill me don't you! Your probably one of them, well guess what, you'll never get my soul! I refuse to let you do that to me! I deserve my soul don't you think?!" I ask pointing my finger at him. "Ok, well I'm sleeping on on your couch, you can join me, or you can get your soul eaten or whatever. Totally your call." He mumbles and lays down making his hands his pillow. My arms are still around him so when he lays down I do to. Ugh, oh well. I've just realized just how tired I am....

Like the cover? I told you I need help! Short chapter again... I'm sorry... I have no one to teach me the patience of making longer chapters. So please don't attempt to find out where I live and kidnap me hoping that my fear will turn into willingness to write longer chapters. It won't work.
