{a/n: introducing more people. hope it's not overwhelming and i know Dakotas character is kind of confusing but it'll get better :-)}

DAKOTAS POV

Dalton looks at Jenna like meat and I almost want to throw up. "...And she'll be joining us for dinner." I say, finishing introducing Jenna.

Jake doesn't hesitate to stand up and hug her and says something along the lines that he can't wait to have her with us tonight. I can't really hear him because my eyes are too focused on mom who's eyes are blank and dark, she slightly smiles when her eyes meets mine and she walks, very slowly upstairs..

I grab Jenna's hand and grab her out of a conversation with my brother and go upstairs as well. Down the hall is Moms room and the door is shut. Jenna and I quickly go into my room.

"Your brother is hot! And your twins? I didn't even know you had a twin!" Jenna says.

I pull two cigs out for us and open my window. Jenna takes a drag like she's been smoking for years and I smile to her and she notices, "Im a really bad influence on you," Jenna nods and doesn't disagree "Cheerleading and dancing and going out to eat on Fridays and seeing the same stuck up people everyday gets boring. Thank god for you! I'm actually having some fun!"

I laugh quietly and look out the window and finish my smoke and so does Jenna.

"Do you wanna wear some of my clothes or are we going back to your house?" I hope she doesn't want to go back home because her mom is a bitch. A bitch with a lot of money and too much jewelry, that probably adds a pound to her weight.

People like me, (girls who dress in black) are druggies and the worst people to be around and parents across america shame us because we are the reason for all the bad things in the world.

"I got my swimming suite. Ill just change and put it under this. This outfit is okay right?" She looks in my mirror and I nod and laugh lightly, "You look wonderful" I half smile.

"Your okay right?" It takes me awhile to understand what she just said because I'm too invested in why mom looks so different.

"Yeah. My mom seemed upset and it's just bothering me?" I shake my head and smile again, "Anyways, I'm gonna change too. You can use my bathroom and Ill just change in here."

Jenna's eyes full of worry and care touches my shoulder, "Ill change and wait in the car, talk to your mom okay."

I nod and when Jenna disappears to the bathroom in my room and lay my head back, maybe it's not just my mom that's bothering me. Zayn doesn't talk to me at school and at the mall earlier, he just looked around...not making eye contact or anything. The night at the party he seemed to be more talkative and slick. He gave me his number, laid me on a bed because I looked uncomfortable sleeping in the chair and even asked where I'm from, he seemed to care then but not so much now. And that kind of pisses me off, why do boys act like the world has to always kiss their ass? Whatever game he wants to play, its defiantly on tonight.

We decide to take Jenna's car. And when I checked on mom she was sound asleep, on the floor. I asked Dalton to help me pick her up and put her on the bed and to make her tea when she wakes up and he complied.

I look out the window as Jenna goes the exact speed limit. It takes about 45 mintues to get to Harry's house and when we reach his neighborhood there's no houses, just trees and his home in the middle of almost nowhere. This place looks bigger and different than at night.

"His Dad is a CEO of some company and is never home and his mom is an retired Model who now does fashion, also never home. They practically breath money. His sister, Gemma; models and I guess acts now?, when's she's home their yard is basically covered in photographers waiting for her to come out. And Jonah is adopted his mom...Harry's stepdad...died and they took him in. His the sweetest 14 year old." Jenna fills me in as we pull into their driveway and up the stairs of Harry's house.

He opens the door in nothing but his swimming trucks and Niall is behind him. "Hello Beautifuls," Niall sings blowing smoke out of his mouth.

Harry, wet; hugs us and laughs and apologizes for being wet. "You can change in the bathroom over there," before taking us through the house until were outside. "It's hot today so we don't have to use the pool downstairs!"

Harry cheers.

Jenna goes to the bathroom his talking about and I just single-handed take off my dress and shades along with my boots in front of them.

"Yeah! You really don't give a fuck, do ya?" Niall cheers and I smile. "I really don't." I laugh out.

Harry smiles, "Zayns cooking out here." He points to him, laughing and smiling to the phone while grilling something on the grill.

"A few people are coming but we got drinks over there, Nialls got smokes, make yourself comfortable." Harry says while turning on music from the stereo that I remember from the party and starts jumping to the music.

I sit at the edge of the swimming pool and watch Niall do flips. Jenna comes through the clear glass doors outside with us and goes to hug Harry then with no hesitation jumps inside of the pool.

"Woo! Dakota come in!" Jenna yells and Niall nods, "Come in or I have no choice but too..." He extends his arms and I tease, shaking my head.

Within seconds Niall picks me up and drops me into the pool, I don't know what so funny but when I emerge from underwater I laugh so hard to the point where I'm inaudible and Niall playfully keeps picking me up and throwing me in.
