Chapter 1:
"You sure you won't comeee?" I look up from where I'm sitting at the foot of Colton's bed to see him gazing down at me with puppy eyes.
"Stop begging me, I already told you. I'm staying out of All of this." I fold my arms across my slim chest.
"Fine. But just know how bored I'll be while Sky auditions.."
"The Audition lasts like five-minutes at the most. I think you can survive." I chuckle a little at how ridiculous he's being.
"You're so stubborn!" He pouts sitting down next to me, "but, you know, I love you really, right.." he places his arm around my shoulder.
"I love y-" I'm cutt off by my sister screaming through the halls,
"Hey! Are you coming or what?!" By now her head is poked into the room, "We've gotta start going.. You ready?" She asks Colton, looking a bit frazzled.
"Yea yea, lets go.." We both stand, and follow Schyler down stairs.
"You sure you're not coming? We'll miss you..." My dad gives me a tight hug and kisses the top of my head.
"Yea dad, I'll be fine.. I might just go to a friend's house or something." I give a reasurring smile.
Beepbeep, Sky's already in the car, impatiently waiting.
"Guess that's our cue.. Bye baby sis!" Colton leans down and gives me a quick peck on the cheek before hurrying out the door dragging my father along with him.
I give a quick wave as I watch the car leave the drive-way. Once their out of sight I shut the door and pluck my phone from my pocket. Two new Messages.
Jessa: Hey babygirl, heard your familys all going with Sky.. Soo, what're you up to??
Josh: Hey cutie. Havin a party tonight..u in?(;
Ugh, really Josh. I roll my eyes at his text as I tap in my replies.
To Jessa: Hey! Yea, I'm allll alone now /: Not really planning anything..probably just gunna lay around the house for a bit.. hbu?(:
To Josh: Ugh, No, I'm not interested in your party.
I flick up the legs on the reclining chair and turn on some old reruns of Pretty Little Liars, aka one of the best shows ever. From the corner of my eye I see my lock screen light up.
Jessa: Ehh, not really doing anything big.. eat some Chinese food. Sorry babe, but I've gtg.. I'm driving..
To Jessa: Boo, you whore. Leaving me to be a loner with nobody to text.
In the middle of me replying to Jessa, I see a message pop up onto the top bar of my phone.
Josh: Ahh, come on babe. Dont deny me. Just be at my house at eight. k?
To Josh: Ugh, you're such a snot. Leave me alone. How did you even get my number anyways? no. Dont answer that. Delete my number. Good bye.
Ugh, Josh needs to go somewhere.
But Jessa did get me craving Chinese food... Hmm, maybe I should call for some chinese food.. I should just walk the few blocks to the resaurant to pick the meal up.. but the workers there know me all too well, I don't feel like talking with them right now..
Just as I'm tapping in the number, so I can call for my food, I hear my front door open then close.. They can't be home already... I take a deep breath then peek around the corner, seeing Jessa placing her coat on the rack.
"Jessa Belle! You scared the ghost out of me!" I breath out, gasping my chest dramatically.
"Ohh Jenna, would you like me to just take my Chinese food and leaveee?"
"NO! Put the food dowwwwwnnn." I say trying to sound like one of those police officers telling the bad guy to put down his weapon.
"Welllll, go get some plates and forks! We've got some chinese food to be a eaten!" She screams louder than necessary, in a ridiculous voice.
"I'm in your roooooom!" I hear her scream while I'm in the kitchen.
I grab two large plates, and two forks and head up to my room to find her sitting on the floor with a bunch of different containers open and displayed in a circle.
I laugh and hand her a plate and fork.
We both Imediately begin to serve our own food onto our plates, taking a little bit of everything.
Jessa does most of the talking durring our dinner, I'm more of a quiet type..
Our conversations were mostly pointless little things, since she's a bit older than me, and is actually Schyler's friend more than mine.. But she's a sweet girl, and always seemed to be my favorite friend of Sky's.

I roll over rubbing my eyes and looking at the clock, 8am.
I get out of bed, not bothering to change yet, I'm just going downstairs to get breakfast.
As I pass through the hallways I notice that the door to every room is closed, meaning someone is in them.. My family must have gotten home, and Jessabelle must have decided not to go home, and just stayed in the guest room.
I get downstairs without anybody waking up. I make myself a bowl of Cereal, Applejacks, yumm.
I eat my cereal on the living room floor, watching pointless cartoons teaching me my ABC's.. Sure am glad this is on, I almost forgot what came after S...
Once finished with my breakfast, it's about 9am.. It's a reasonable time for other people to get up.. right?
I slide my brother's door open, and peek inside, sure enough, he's sleeping. I tiptoe inside and climb onto the foot of his bed.
I take a deep, quiet breath, then..Jump up and down all over his bed screaming "Coltonnnn! Wakey uppyyy!"
"Jenna! What are you doing?!" He reaches from his blanket and grabs my ankle, knocking me over so that I'm sitting on him.
"Trying to wake you up silly!" I say smiling.
"Well, congratulations. You did it." His eyes are still barely open as he sits up, wrapping his arms around me, "Let's go make breakfast for everyone, and I'll tell you how things went yesterday, ya?"
"Alrighty!" I respond smiling and hopping off his bed, pulling his covers with me. "Get up!" I say sternly, well, trying to be stern.
"Ugh, okay, okay. Let's go." He gets up and leaves the room ahead of me, as I follow him to the kitchen.
"So who's in the guest room anyways?" He asks while he pulls all of the ingrediants for pancakes from the cupboards.
"Just Jessabelle.."
"She was here while we weren't?"
"Uhm.. yea, we ate some chinese, and watched a few movies.. I fell asleep.. so she must've just gone to bed as well.."
"Oh, I'm glad you weren't alone.. So wanna know what happened yesterday?" He's turned towards me now, mixing ingrediants.
"Yes! Of course I do!" I lean forward over the counter, smiling.
"Well.. Sky got in.. But they called me back, because they heard I was there.."
"And....?"
"And I got in too!"
