This Isn't A (Regular)Love Story

Chapter 6- The First Night

We talked with Jackson for awhile. Just telling each other stuff. Derek said that we probably had to leave soon. That he wanted Emily to get to bed.

"Well I guess, I'll see you around Rose." Jackson said from the front door.

"Yeah, see ya." I waved.

He is very attractive! This neighborhood has three attractive guys here. Wish it was like this back home.

"I wasn't able to show you Vincent's house. He's the oldest out of all of us. But he won't be home until next week I believe." Derek said.

We climbed up onto the porch and sat down on the swing for a bit.

"He lives with his sister. They have the house next to mine."

I was getting real sleepy. I could barely keep my eyes open.

He laughed. "I guess you should get inside. Before you end up sleeping out here."

I yawned. "Hmhm."

"Let's go inside." He picked up Emily and her things and opened the door for me.

"Thanks."

Sally was in the 'Hang out room', watching the news.

"Bring Emily here." She said stretching out her arms.

Derek put Emily in her arms. Sally got up said goodnight and headed to her room.

I started walking the steps upstairs. Dragging my feet and tripping every once in awhile.

"Here let me help you." Derek picked me up and took me upstairs.

"Superman!" I mumbled.

"That was random." I closed my eyes.

"Goodnight." He said as he sat me down on the couch.

"'Night."

Wasn't he supposed to help me unpack? Oh well. I'm to tired to care.

I got up from the couch and grabbed my pjs.

I reached for the light switch and turned it off.

I shuffled in the dark room with only the small light from Cole's porch.

I flipped on the lamp and closed the curtains.

When I climbed up the ladder to the bed I saw Minnie.

"What are you doing up here?"
I'm talking to a cat. I'm going mad.

She just looked at me.

"I guess you can stay up here. Just stay at the bottom of the bed. Kay?"

The bed is so comfortable. If was cool up here so the blankets felt amazing.
The soft sound of rain helped to put me to sleep.

Minnie crawled up to me. She fell asleep at my side, curled up in a ball.

I reached for my phone.
10:27 pm

It's latter than I thought. Did we talk with Jackson that long?

I plugged my phone into the charger, and started playing my music.

And then I fell asleep.
