Jen POV

Who does Josh think he is? He thinks just because he gives me roses I will forget what he did to me?

HE IS WRONG. I COULD NEVER FORGET.

I drive home the bouquet of roses still with me in the passenger seat. Even though I didn't forgive Josh, I couldn't throw the sweet gesture away.

Once I am home I park my car in the driveway and enter my house.

"Jen honey?" I hear my mom call

"Yeah mom?"

"I forgot to tell you but the Gould family is coming over"she says walking into the living room, "so wear something nice"

The Goulds are our family friends. We have known them for as long as I can remember, and they are really nice. The don't live in California though, they come from Kentucky, where I am originally from.

"Alright"

"Who are the roses from?" she questions

"Uh...they are from Josh" DAMN IT! Why did I just say that?

"Josh?"

"Uh...yeah he gave everyone roses 'cause he is sooooo nice" I lie

"Oh that's nice, sweet boy" Mom comments

"Could you put these in a vase for me?" I ask, handing her the flowers, "I am going to go change"

"Sure honey" she smiles

I run upstairs to my room to pick out what to wear. It takes me a little time to pick out something 'nice'. But I soon choose to wear a black dress.

After I am done picking out my dress I go in the bathroom to take a shower. I strip from my clothes and take a long hot shower, just relaxing. 

I go to my room change into the dress, then blow dry my hair later curling it. I place a gold headband in my hair kinda going with the black and gold theme. I put on a black and gold necklace then wear a black and gold ring. I just put on a little bit of eyeliner. My black shoes complete the outfit, and I am good to go.

I run back downstairs and see my mom preparing the food.

"Hey mom! Need some help?" I ask

"Hey honey, no that's alright" she smiles "You look beautiful"

"Thanks" I smile back, "but are you sure there isn't anything I can do to help?"

"Actually, yes you can" she suggests, "There is a new family that moved a couple of houses down, I made some cookies to welcome them but since I can't go, can you please take them?"

"Sure" I smile at her

I get the plate of cookies and make my way down the street to the house where the new family has moved in. While I am walking towards the house I wonder if they have any children my age, maybe someone I could be friends with.

I finally make it there excited that I might meet someone new. I ring the doorbell to their house and a woman, probably in her 40s opens the door.

"Hello" she grins

"Hi" I smile back "I am Jennifer Lawrence, I live a few houses away, my mom told me you are new to the neighbourhood so she wanted me to bring you these cookies to welcome you"

I hand her the plate of cookies and she smiles while taking them.

"So welcome to the neighbourhood" I smile
