When We're Older | Chris Collins

Chapter 21

Montana's pov

After my mom bailed us out of mall jail we all went home and turns out we all got grounded. Some of us longer than others. Mainly meaning Crawford. it was honestly a mess. When my mom got there she talked to the security guard and me and Bailey rode home with my mom while Chris and Crawford drove separate. The whole way home consisted of her yelling at us about how we should be more responsible and not get in to fights whatsoever. Even though we weren't even the one's fighting. I tried to tell my mom that it wasn't our fault and that Brent started it but she wasn't having it, although she did cut my grounding a week shorter.

When we got home my mom talked to Baliey's mom and the boys' as well, so that is how we all got grounded. Luckily, it's only a week.

"Maybe you'll think before you do stuff!" She yells at me and I groan. "Mom, how many times have I told you that it wasn't even my fault?"

"I don't really care if it was your fault or not, you shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place. That's why I'm taking your phone away and your laptop for a week and the only place you're allowed to go is school." I roll my eyes as I stomp away up the stairs to my room.

Once I'm upstairs I sit at my window, hoping that Chris is in his room. Just to my luck he isn't, that is until I hear a whistle. I look back to his window and he's sitting there staring at me.

I smile shortly before asking how he was grounded.

"No TV for a week, and she took my phone away." He says and I sigh.

"Are you allowed to go out anywhere?"

"Nope, only school. Are you?" He asks and I rest my head against the wall. "No, she took all my electronics away too though."

"Dang. That sucks. What are we gonna do for a whole week?" He asks sitting up and leaning his head out the window a bit. "I have no clue. It's gonna be pretty boring though." I say and Chris nods his head slowly before standing up. "Can you come over real quick?"

"What if I get caught?"

"You won't it's just really quick. I need to do something." He says and I nod and run to my door to peek out to make sure she isn't coming and I lock it behind me before crossing the tree over to his house.

"Okay, what is it?" I say and try to catch my breath quickly. Before I know it his lips are pressed against mine and he's kissing me. I don't hesitate to kiss him back. "What was that for?" I smile and he smirks. "I just wanted a kiss. Is that a crime?" He asks innocently. "Absolutely not." I wink at him and kiss him one more time before I hear a knock on my door.

"Montana? Can I come in?" I hear my mom yell and my heart beats fast. "Shoot. I gotta go. Bye." I hurry up and cross the tree and come back inside my room to open the door.

"Sorry mom. I was uh, reading." I say as I open the door.

"Reading? Hmm, that's weird, you never read. What book was it?" She asks and I panic. I look around my room to see some sort of book and I spot a magazine. "Just this." I say and pick up my SEVENTEEN magazine.

My mom laughs and I nervously smile. "Makes sense. This is all you ever read." She laughs a bit and I start to feel relieved.

"Why is your window open? The AC is on." She walks over to it and once again I panic. "I like nature." I say quickly and she huffs. "Well you can look out and see nature you don't need to open it." She shuts the window, thankfully not asking any further questions.

She pulls me in for a hug and kisses my cheek. "I love you so much sweetie." she sighs and I smile. "Love you too mom." She stares at me for a while with a smile on her face. I start to feel awkward and need her out.

"What was the purpose for coming up here in the first place mom?" I ask and she jumps a bit. "Right! I just wanted to say that supper is done. Darn! It's probably cold now!" She hurries and rushes downstairs and I slowly follow her.
