***Natalie's POV***

We turn our heads and we close our eyes in sync. I start to feel fireworks in my stomach. I am about to kiss Blake-

"Awe so cute!" My mom screams from the driveway.

Blake and I pull each other at the speed of light. I look at my mom and she is sitting there with her hands by her face. That woman needs to get a life. I glance over at Blake and see him looking at the ground with his face really red. I blush at the sight.

"Uh- see ya around, Grey."

"Yeah, see ya."

Blake walks off my porch, across his lawn and into his house without looking back. Keeping his head down. I storm off into my room and bury my face into my pillow. This is just great.

"Ugh!" I scream.

My mom heard me and comes up the stairs and into my room, without knocking, may I add.

"Ever heard of knocking?"

"No, mothers don't knock, but what's wrong sweetheart?"

"You!" I say getting off my bed and sit on my bench by the window.

"What did I do?" She asks innocently.

"You interrupted-!" I begin.

She raises and eyebrow at me. How can she not know what she just did? I didn't want to tell her what was happening, although she saw what was happening, she's acting like she didn't so I'm just going to play along. I walk out of the room and bump shoulders with my mom who was standing in the doorway. I go to the kitchen and grab two poptarts. Strawberry flavor. The best, obviously. I lick my lips at the thought and go back upstairs. My mom is currently doing laundry so she must have gotten over the whole thing. And then it occurs to me that I just missed my first day of school. Shoot. Well it's great. I was going to have a student show me around. But I guess it will have to wait.
I go upstairs and sit on my bed, grab my tablet and go on Netflix, and pig out on my junk food. Because I have no friends and...I need to take my mind off of Blake.
Ah that name is great, it fits him perfectly, his muscular arms, beautiful green eyes, flawless smile... I meantally slap myself and return to my binge watching/ eating.
It is about 3:42 and I finish my season of Empire. I go downstairs and I see Jaden sitting there in a wheel chair. I start to feel tears threaten to come out of my eyes. I stand there at the top of the stair just taking this in. I run down the staircase and hug him.

"Oh I'm so sorry I ran into your legs." I said freaking out and stepping back.

"It's okay. I can't feel anything down there anyway." I chuckle a little bit.

"So how are you doing? You okay?"

"Yeah, they said I wasn't supposed to come home today but I had to."

"Come on honey." My mom says to him.

"Okay," he rolls himself over to mom and I go back upstairs.

I fall asleep at 6:00 pm and sleep until 10:30. Damn, why did I sleep so long. Well I guess it has been a long day. I go downstairs and I see my mom sitting in a chair in the living room reading the newspaper. She flips the newspaper and sees me walk down the stairs.

"Hi honey." She says half asleep.

"Hi mom, you should get to bed." I say.

She gets up and walk towards me.

"I don't need to go to bed." She says with slurred speech. I can spell the alcohol is her breath.

"M- mom are you drunk?"

"No I only had a couple drinks."

"Mom, you mean like 20? Your wasted!"

"I am not! How dare you talk to your mother like that?" I will if she's drunk that is.

She swings her hips back with her hand and comes around to hit me in the head but I dodge it. I stand there in disbelief with my jaw dropped. My mom stumble and trips over the table and lands on the couch. Geez we have to get rid of that table, it's too close. I run out of the house and down the street and sit on the curb crying. Has she always drank? Does she just do it when Jaden and I are asleep? Oh I know. Since dad started abusing her, and us. I go to look at my locket but I remember Blake never gave it back. Maybe that's why all these bad things are happening. The locket is supposed to bring good things. I cannot believe this. I break down in tears and there is makeup smeared all over my face. I'm just glad it's dark and the only source of light is the white LED street lights.

"Natalie?"

I turn around shocked to death to see an angel of a face. Blake. And he is standing there on the side walk where he can't see my face. He sits down on the curb next to me.

"Oh, it's you."

"What are you not happy to see me, sunshine?"

"Oh that's a new one."

"Yeah, I've been working on some! Wanna hear 'em?" He asks getting excited.

"Shoot." I say.

"Okay ummm, so babe, baby, bae, boo,-"

"Stop the B's."

"Okay," he says rolling his eyes. "Diamond, doll, doll face, dimples,"

I blush because I have dimples.

"Ah see, there are those dimples, Dimples." He smiles his adorable smile.

"What are you doing here anyway, Blake?"

"I came to see you."

"But how did you know I was here. It's like 8 houses away from your house."

"I just know- I guess."

I look over at his face and make eye contact and his face immediately turns into a smile.

"Did someone hit you with the ugly stick?"

"What?"

"What happened to your beautiful face?"

Awe he called beautiful. But right now he called me ugly. Mixed emotions...

"Do you not know what crying means?" I ask him. I cannot believe how much of an asshole he is being right now. F-boy Blake is back, oh boy...
