I walk to my car after my and Zayn's conversation. He's annoying and I don't want to see him five days a week! Haven't I've been through enough these past days?
I turn the heat on in my car as I quickly start to drive towards my lovely dysfunctional family.

I park my car on the driveway as I get there.
I quickly enter the house without knocking or anything.
I leave my bag in the hallway and take of my shoes. I then continue to the kitchen where I see my father reading the newspaper. He looks up and leans against the kitchen chair. He crosses his arms and puts his glasses away.

"Where were you? Your last class ended three o'clock." He asks and I shrug. Is he a police detective now?
"I was studying at the coffeehouse." I say and grab an apple from the fruit bowl.
"Am I not aloud to?" I question him and he sighs.
"If it's school related, you're allowed to be out. I'm not really sure if I believe you though." He tests me and arches a brow.
"What do you want to do? Check my books? Go ahead, they're in my bag in the hallway." I huff and continue towards my room.

As soon as I walk in to my room I take a pair of sweats and an oversized t-shirt. I bring it to the bathroom and neatly put it on lid of the toilet.
I turn my shower on so that the water is warm when I step in.
I strip down to my underwear and as I'm taking of my bra, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look at the mirror and somehow I can't recognize myself. I don't look like myself. I don't have that cocky smile and those bright eyes that shows everyone I'm not weak. I'm not who I was before and I can't believe it. After one weird night at a strangers house and it changes me?

I shrug of my thoughts and take of my underwear as I step in the shower. The marble floor is cold against my bare feet but the warmth takes over when the hot water drops fall over me.
I stand there for awhile enjoying the water. It makes my tense muscles relax and my eyelids flutter as the water hits my spine.

I can hear my mom knocking on my bedroom door and shouting my name. I turn off the shower for a second.
"I'm in the shower!" I yell and I can hear her entering my room.
"Lexi, me and your father got an offer to stay at a spa for one night, so you'll be home alone. You sister is at her boyfriend's house and Aiden is going to your aunt." As she tells me this, I'm stepping out of the shower and putting on a bathrobe. I open the door to get a look at her while she speaks.
"So Alexis, don't try anything, I know what you're thinking." She adds.

"I won't try anything mom, believe me!" I sigh.
Jamie's with her boyfriend? She's aloud to be at boy's houses and in not?
"You know that they have sex, right?" I spit.
"Jamie and her boyfriend" I add. She has to think that it's abnormal for a sixteen year old to have sex.
"Oh. Well I'm going to have a talk with her when she comes home." What's dad going to say about this?
"But it's completely normal for a couple to have sex. I'm just going to talk to her about safety." My mother adds and I roll my eyes. I don't say anything about the previous situation that got me in trouble to prevent any fights.
"Yeah, bye mom." I mumble and close the bathroom door and enter the shower again.

I get out of the shower ten minutes later and get dressed in my t-shirt and sweats. I feel like I want to take advantage of this situation, but I don't want to take it too far.

I exit the bathroom and walk to the kitchen to call Dylan from our home phone, which I'm not allowed to do in the first place. I dial his number in excitement to tell him the news. My plan is to bring him and Nat over so we can talk about what happened, maybe take a glass of whine too.

"Hey!" Dylan answers with his high pitched voice.
"Hey Dylan, so, I think you're gonna like this. My parents are at some spa, and they are going to spend the night, so I thought-" I only manage to say that before he interrupts me like he always does, he just can't handle his excitement.
"You thought a party would be great! Right?" He squeaks.
"Not really" I laugh. "I thought you and Nat could come over so I could tell you what really happened." The conversation just got more serious.
"Yeah sure Lexi, but you can tell us everything, and then we can invite some friends over, just like five to ten persons, nothing is going to happen, and I think you really need it right now, you seemed a bit down today." Dylan admits And I think he is right, I really deserve a little get together after everything that has happened.
"That's a great idea, I'll just call Nat. Come over to my house. Bye Dylan." I say and hang up.
