"Harper, where is Tilly because I've only just clocked that she isn't here" Jackson asked me confused. "Not being funny Jackson, but she's YOUR sister, why would I know where she is" I said jokingly while rolling my eyes. "Yeah she's my sister but she's YOUR best friend" he replied mimicking my voice, it was a very bad impersonation may I add. "I'll call her and see where she is, I left my phone in my room though, so I will be back in a second" I said getting up and walking out of the living room where my brother Mathew and his friends Jackson and James where watching movies.

Once I reached my room I had noticed that I had several missed calls from Tilly, who is not only my best friend but also Jackson's little sister, that I hadn't noticed because my room is upstairs and I was watching movies with the boys.

I messaged her, asking her where she was, and she replied almost instantly, telling me she was at McDonald's, and asked what I wanted. She got me a McFlurry and once she arrived we went up to my room to gossip.

"So apparently Scarlett B is pregnant!" She said to me shockingly. "Wait which one is Scarlett B again?" I asked getting confused. "The one with the Blue hair, who's dating Cross, but he's not the father apparently" she informed me while rolling her eyes in a judgmental manor. "Cross deserves better than that to be honest" I said sighing. I looked up and Tilly and she was giving me a disapproving look. "No Harper its just because your in love with cross" she said giggling. "Shut up im not in love with him, I just want to marry him and live together with our 3 kids, Lilly, Jordyn, and Hunter" I said in a joking manor. We both started uncontrollably laughing to the point where there were tears in our eyes. "You got it all figured out huh?" She said laughing again. "No but on a serious note I actually feel bad for cross, because that's just sad, imagine your girl cheating on you and getting pregnant by, WAIT WHOS THE FATHER?!" I said, realising I was yet to ask that question. "I'm not sure, ask my brother he's friends with her isn't he?" She said getting up and going downstairs.

"Yo Jackson, you know Scarlett, with the blue hair, who's her baby daddy?" She asked him, "That weird kid with the glasses, Nathan, or Nathanial, or Daniel or whatever the fuck his name is" he replied carelessly, paying more attention to the big 80 inch tv that was attached to the wall of our living room. Tilly and her brother started gossiping, while I went into the kitchen to get a drink.

While I was grabbing some ice for the glass of lemonade I was about to drink, I heard somebody enter the kitchen, it was my brothers friend James.
"Oh hey James, want a drink?" I asked while getting a straw out for myself. "No thanks, but can I ask you a question? He asked looking me in my eyes. I nodded, I was so intrigued. "Ok, so, you know that guy that me and Mathew used to hang out with, Charlie, well he's having a party this Saturday, Mathew Jackson and Tilly are coming, you wanna come?" He asked me smiling. "Sure, but what type of party is it?" I asked, because I hate it when there is a party with like nobody I know.
All of our friends and their friends, and a couple of Tilly's friends, mostly people you know" he assured me.
"Okay sounds fun see you there" I smiled at him,

Ok so here is the thing, I like parties don't get me wrong, but I'm not really a fan of drinking, one because I'm 17, two because it's just not that fun to me, people get super clumsy and they hurt themselves and they feel sick, I just don't see the fun in that, however, if it's a party, I won't say no to a little bit of alcohol, but usually I'm the designated driver, but this party is different because it's only across the street from us, so I can drink as much as I want (not that I wanna drink loads anyway, like I said I'm not a big fan lol)

Anyways i had to find a perfect outfit for the party, because I asked around and apparently cross was going to be there, and although he's going through a tough time what with his girlfriend hearing and ending up pregnant, so assuming they broke up, I'm guessing he's not ready for a relationship with someone new right now, but the least I can do is be a friend for him.
