Sarah:
It was Friday and Molly and Blake were going to the party so I helped her get ready. I curled her short black hair and she wore a short dress that was dark blue with paint splatters around the bottom.
She was so beautiful, she looked just like dad with dark hair and dark eyes. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled then hugged me and thanked me.
"Blake's here!" Cole shouted from the kitchen.
"Have fun." I said with a smile.
I waved as Cole took Molly and Blake to the party. After Cole came back and we went swimming because it warmed up a little. As I jumped off  the rock into the water Cole came behind me and splashed me then grabbed me before I got away.
"Tomorrow there is a party my friends are throwing you should come with me and meet them." He asked smiling.
How could I say no.
"Sure, are you going to stay the night and take us tomorrow or just get me before the party?" I asked hoping he would stay the night.
"My clothes are at home and I have to help set up the party but after I'll come over if your still awake tonight." He explained.
I nodded and before I knew it my phone went off. I jumped out the water and grabbed my towel and answered the phone.
"Hey Molly, how's the party?" I asked with music blaring in the background.
"It's great tell Cole I said thanks again please, and can I stay the night at Blake's house pleasee." She begged.
That question caught me off guard.
"Molly if Blake's mom knows we are missing and sees you, what are you going to do?" I asked.
"Fine, Blake's coming over then." She assured me.
"Sure whatever, tomorrow Cole and I are going out so he will have to be home before we leave." I hung up and jumped back in water.
Molly:
"Blake, I can't go to your house but Sarah said that you could come over to our house if your mom is okay with it." I told Blake when I hung up the phone.
"Ok. But do you want to go talk to some people or just stand here?" When Blake said this I remembered that we were standing far away from all the other kids.
I nodded and he grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the kids. We started talking to two girls and three boys. Blake talked to them with such confidence that if I didn't know him I would have thought they were best friends. When I looked at the girls the smile instantly wiped off my face. They were staring at Blake and whispering in a way that I could tell they were talking about him.
I glared at them until I heard Blake say, "This is my friend Molly."
I said, "Hey."
Then the girls left to talk to other people but kept staring at Blake while they walked. Blake and the boys started talking about sports. I was the only girl there so I looked around for someone that I could talk to but all the girls were staring at Blake. Then I felt someone's hand on my eyes.
"Jeany!" I said excitedly and turned around.
Sure enough standing there was the girl that used to drive me and Sarah to school when Sarah couldn't drive.
"Baby!" She said and picked me up.
She's only two years older than Sarah but she baby's us so much. Not like the kind of babying that you can't do fun stuff but the kind of babying where she spoils us. She always buys us stuff and takes us to special places. Well that was before she went to college.
"Why are you here?" I asked her.
"The party boys brother is my boyfriend."
"Cool."
"Do you want to see something cool?" Jeany whispered in my ear.
I nodded and she carried me into the house where all the older teenagers hung out and played games and stuff.
Sarah:
I hope Molly is having fun, she never gets to go out a lot. Cole and I took showers and we're watching a movie in my room. We were watching a scary movie so I was laying on Cole and he had his arm around me. The connection we had made me smile. My phone rang and I didn't want to leave Cole.
"Ughhhh." Cole looked at me and laughed.
I pulled myself up and rolled over him to reach the phone. It was a unsaved number. I hope it's the car shop letting me know my car is fixed.
"Hello." I said staring at Cole smiling.
"Sarah?! Oh Sarah is that you?" A woman said.
My heart faltered from the voice. My mother called me and I heard her voice. The voice I missed so much, but I can't, not the way she treated us. Cole looked at me in a confused face.
"Wrong number." I hung up and laid back in bed with Cole.
"Sarah, if we are going to happen you have to be honest with me." He said moving my hair from my face.
"Cole I don't want to talk about it but I will be honest with you." I tried to smile.
"Sarah I don't like you sad or mad so if something happens let me know, I want to help, no I need to help. Please Sarah let me help you." He brushed his lips against mine. My heart faltered and I felt tingly as he kissed me. My cheeks were rushed with color and a smile fell upon my face. I laid on him still with a smile on my face.
Molly:
It's so awesome in the part of house where the older kids were, well other than the drinking. Their parents aren't here so some of the kids are drinking. It's so funny watching Jeany beat them at the gambling game. They all brought a bunch of money and play a card game and for every game you win you get five dollars from every person. And like five people can play the same game. Jeany doesn't drink because her mom was killed by a drunk driver and at her mom's funeral she promised herself, God, and her mom's soul that she would never drink. Since she's sober along with two other people they came up with a strategy to trick people into thinking they lost when they really didn't. But fifty percent of the time she actually won because she's been playing this since she was little with her siblings. I mean without the drinking and money. There is a huge bowl of candy on the table so I keep walking past the table to get more candy. It's kind of fun to be the only little one here. All the girls call me cute and pretty and adorable and sweet and say that they want me to be their little sister. I can see Blake out the window and he's still talking to the same boys from earlier.
