  "Just stay till the end of the movie. It's your first night with us." Patty begs.
  "Yeah it'll be over in 20 minutes tops." Nayzeth adds on.
  "I'll still watch it, but my dad is already on his way to pick me up." I say.
  "Tell him to take his time. I still haven't shown you my new games on my iPad." Danny says.
  "I'm sorry Danny. I'm coming again tomorrow, by then I'll have plenty of time to check them out." I sit back on the couch next to Danny, and continue watching the movie Omar put on. I think it's called "the Conjuring" it's actually a pretty good horror film and I love how the movie portrays a true story. We all sit there watching the movie, with our feet on top of the table along with the empty pizza boxes.
  It's past 11 p.m. and I have class tomorrow morning. Times like these, I wish I could drive. Sadly I'm still learning, and still studying to get my license. Until then, Jack & my dad are my only transportation.
  My phone vibrates, my dad texted me.
  *Dad: I'm outside.*
  *Me: Alright, I'll be out in a couple of minutes*
  "Alright, I'll see you guys tomorrow. Goodnight." I say as I walk through the living room so I could head on to the door.
  "Goodnight Amy." Nayzeth and Omar say at the same time. Weird. Not only are they siblings, they look alike, and talk alike too.
  "Goodnight Amy. See ya tomorrow, and don't forget to bring more money!" Izzy reminds me.
  "Goodnight Izzy."
  "Goodnight guys." I say before I open the door and start heading out. I see my dad waiting out in our Scion. I hope I'll be able to drive that car soon. I'm tired of relying on my dad. I open the door and get in.
  "So how was it?" He asks.
  "It was great. We ate pizza, watched Izzy and Omar play video games for awhile, ate some more pizza, and ended up watching 'the Conjuring' by the end of the night. So you can say it's been a pretty great day."
  "Well I'm glad. Next time bring some leftover pizza, you're mom cooked tonight again." He says in a sarcastic-disgusted tone.
  "I'll keep that in mind." We don't speak for the rest of the car ride home, instead we listened to the radio and admired the city lights until we got back home.
  When we arrive to my house, I catch my sister Geraldine, slumped on to the couch watching some Disney movie, my mom doing some online shopping on her phone, and my baby sister asleep in her room. It's basically like this everyday, except my dad is always on his computer or complaining about his coworkers to my mom.
  I should start heading to my room and start getting ready for bed. It's been a long day and I just can't wait to sleep.
  As I change in to one of Jack's old t-shirts that he always leaves me because he knows how much I love them, I remember the conversation Jack and I had today. I haven't even thought about it until now, I don't even know what to say. I want to, trust me I do. Ever since what happened yesterday morning, that topic has been stuck in the back of my mind. It all seems so much more simple in my mind, how it's going to be done, how it's going to feel, how it's going to look like, but that's all in my head. In my mind, consequences don't exist at all. The word itself, doesn't even exist in my mind, and that's the beauty of it. I wish I could just live in the world of my imagination, physically live in it. But no, this is the real world where fantasies and imagination is frowned upon.
  Being able to have the opportunity of having sex with Jack is an honor. It's just, am I ready for that? Is he ready for that? Is he going to love me even more because of it? Will he love me any less if I refuse to do it? I shouldn't be thinking about this before I go to bed, it's just going to interfere with my dreams and that's the only time & place where I don't need to think about that.
  I brush my teeth and think about what I should wear to school tomorrow. I would dress up, but why should I? I'm there for 2 hours and then leave right after. Actually, I'm going to definitely 'bum' it tomorrow, I'm going to wear a regular red/black flannel, a black tank top underneath, some light-washed skinny jeans, and my sandals. Yeah, I think that'll do it. That's bummy enough.
  After I brush my teeth, I tie my hair up, walk down the hall and throw myself on to my bed.
  It's finally time to sleep. No Jack thoughts which means no bad thoughts, which means peaceful dreaming will take place tonight. Let my dreaming take care of my thoughts and emotions about the whole Jack thing.
  Goodnight.
  (Sorry for the super short chapter, trust me Chapter 10 is definitely going to make up for it!!! I was out with friends today, and I didn't really have time to focus on this chapter. I'm also super sleepy, it's only about 10 p.m. here in California. Anyways, I have better plans for the next chapter. I love all who are reading, don't forget to comment and vote guys! Love you all! -Giselle
