"Oh my god. Kaylen, is that you? It has been so long girl. How are you?" Rose seemed genuinely happy to hear from me.

"Hey. How is your high school going?" I asked her. "It is awesome. I am missing you guys so much though. How is Rachel? Still like Melissandra?" We both chuckled.

"How come you called? Missing me much?" " Of course I did. But I need your advice."

On hearing that, she went all serious. "Let me guess. Boy trouble? Emma told me. I am not surprised you are calling me though. Come on. Shoot."

I started from the beginning, telling her everything from day one. How I met him, my feelings then, how I was infatuated. I also told her that I felt in the beginning that I didn't have much feelings for him. Then I told her about the whole Halloween episode. I earned a few gasps and are you okays on that. Then when I told her about the part where Nathan had a girlfriend, she just replied "Oh". I also told her all about Jonathan and how that had all got me confused. She was silent for a while. Then she spoke up,

" You are overthinking this Kaylen. You know that Nathan has a girlfriend. You have no chance with him. Just move on. It is completely natural. No one is going to judge if you go out with that Jonathan guy. It is not your fault he has a girlfriend is it? And follow your heart not your brain. You anyways have a tiny one, don't overwork it" she said chuckling and continued " follow your instincts. They will take you on the right path. I am honestly sorry, but I have to go now. Take care okay."

Her words washed over me like an epiphany. I had made up my mind. I was going to grow up and get over Nathan.

"Thanks Rose. You are the best. Love you so much. Good night."

" Love you too babe. What are friends for?" I could almost see her winking from the other end. The line went dead and I kept the phone down, smiling genuinely. I went to sleep, feeling happy.

I woke up the next morning, feeling rejuvenated and happy. It was a Saturday. That meant no school. I suddenly remembered it was the day for my coffee date with Jonathan. I slight blush crept towards my cheek as I thought about him and his charming smile. I went down for breakfast. Mom was making waffles with blueberries. Dad was reading the morning paper. Austin wasn't up yet. I made my way to the table and sat down.

"Good morning dear. Someone seems happy today" my mom was grinning at me cheekily. My dad had no idea about the date. We planned not to tell him either or he would freak out. The plan was to tell him just before Jon came.

"Good morning sunshine." Dad looked up from his newspaper and gave me a hug. After all, I was still his little girl. He started tickling me and I squealed, "Daddy! Stop. Good morning to you too."

I sat down to have my breakfast. Just then Austin came, tired from his camp.

"Morn-" and he was fast asleep before he could even get the word out. The three of us began laughing. I picked him up and half dragged him back to his own room. I came back, had my breakfast and went and had a bath. I washed my hair today and came out. I slipped into tracks and a lose t-shirt and plopped on my bed with a book and some music.

Just then, Austin entered my room.

"The devil is awake again." I smiled at him. "What are you listening to?" Austin was clearly still groggy. "Bruno Mars. Come here. Lets listen together." I patted my bed and Austin climbed up to me, curling around me. That is when I realized how much I really missed him. We sat like that for an hour, listening to music and reading, just some sibling time and did not even realize when we fell asleep.
