TwinnyVampire did an amazing job on the cover for this story and my other story so I wanted to say thank you and dedicated this chapter to them.

Once Morgan finally calmed down I looked down at her, smiled, and asked, “You want something to eat?”
“Yes! I’m so hungry!” Morgan answered, jumping up and running to the kitchen.
“Slow down!” I called, getting up, pain shooting through my back, and heading to the kitchen to see Morgan jumping up and down in front of the counter. “What are you doing?” I asked with a laugh.
“Trying to reach the food.” She admitted.
“How about we meet up with Mackenzie and Zac and go out to eat?” I suggested.
Morgan’s eyes lit up and she started jumping even more. “Yes! Yes! Yes!” She yelled in delight.
I laughed and said, “Okay, okay. Calm down. Let me call them.”
I pulled out my phone and dialed Mackenzie’s number.
“Hello?” She greeted.
“Hey ‘kenz.” I said using my nickname for her.
“Sierra?” She said excitedly. “Omg! You sound happy! Were your parents not mad? What happened when you got home?”
I just laughed and said, “I’ll explain later. How would you and Zac like to get something to eat then sleepover my house tonight?”
“Your house? But your parents…” She said confused.
“Like I said; I’ll explain later. Do you want to or not? This opportunity doesn’t come very often.” I told her.
“Yes! Just let me ask my mom really quick.” She said happily.
I listened to her ask her mom and came back a minute later. “My mom doesn’t believe me. She thinks I’m trying to sneak out because I never sleep over your house.” She said annoyed.
I laughed and said, “Let me talk to her.” She handed the phone to her mom and I said, “Mrs. Quinn?”
“Hello, Sierra.” She answered.
“You know that I have a complicated family life and usually can’t have anyone over, right?” I asked.
“Yes, Sierra. I really think Mackenzie is trying to sneak out and if you’re going to her by lying to me you’ll be in just as much trouble as her.” Mrs. Quinn’s strong voice told me. I could tell she’d be sad and disappointed if that was the case.
