I Promise You

(5) Just Can't Stop Dancing

In the end we decided to go on a walk and check out the facility. "Boy!" Ronnie said and pointed at someone who was working in the garden. "Gosh Ronnie!" I said to her. "That's my boyfriend" A girl with an Canadian accent said behind us. "Too bad..." Ronnie said and continued walking with Evie.

"I apologize for her. She thinks every boy is cute" I said and she laughed "I know Alexander is pretty cute" She said. "I wouldn't be able to tell that, I kind of have a boyfriend, so..." I said and she was still smiling. She kind of reminded me of Keeley Fitzgerald.

"Lauren" She introduced herself. "Prom- Clary" I introduced myself "And those are Jaden and Miriam. The blonde, who thinks your boyfriend's cute is Ronnie and the girl with her is her twin sister Evie" I introduced the others. "Hey, made some friends?" Alexander asked and briefly kissed Lauren. I haven't even noticed that he had joined us.

"This is Alexander" She introduced her boyfriend to us. "Alex is just fine" He said and shook each of our hands. That was kind of surprising, but I went with it. "So, what brings you here?" Alex asked. "Family reunion" Jaden answered. "So you are all related?" Lauren asked and I nod "Yeah, maternal cousins for those two and maternal step-cousins for the other two and you will probably see other maternal and paternal cousins walking around here" I told them. "Big Family?" Alex asked and I nod. "My mom has five brothers, plus 4 step-brothers" "Wow..." Lauren said "And I complained about being an only child"

"There's my mom, I need to talk to her" Miriam said and hurried off, waving goodbye. "And there is my brother" Jaden said with a groan "Mom and dad wanted to make a small just us four trip" She said and I hugged her goodbye and hurried off.

"Hey, what are you doing later?" Lauren asked. "I was going to hang out with them, but they all disappeared" "Laur and I are going to the hotel's Under 21 club later, you wanna come? You can bring a date or something" Alex suggested. "Her boyfriend isn't here, but maybe you can bring a cousin or so" Lauren suggested, while Alex put his arm around her. "Yeah, I got someone in mind" I said and told them goodbye and started looking for that exact person I had in mind.

"HENRY" I yelled with my arms in the air and a happy face. "You want something, don't you?" He asked already annoyed. "I need you to be me my date" "You're not my type" "Neither are you, so now that we cleared that up. Point is, Lars isn't here, but you are" "So is Jordan, Cale and Logan" He said and I groaned "Come on, Henry!" I said "I'll beg you"

"No" He said again and I got onto my knees and started begging "Please" I repeated myself. "What are you doing Promise?" I heard the voice of Izzy, my mom's cousin and Henry's mom. "I'm begging your son to spend some time with me later because my besties are gone for the day" I explained. "He will love to, but get off the floor" She said and helped me up. "Thanks Izzy" I said, briefly hugged her and grabbed Henry and pulled him with me.

It was seven and Henry and I made our way to the Under 21 club. We were both dressed up a little more and I think I was a little taller than him. I mean, I was older but he's a guy and they are usually taller. Well, let's wait and see how long it takes until he's taller than me.

"How again did you convince me?" Henry asked me and I gave him a look "With my incredible charm" I said with a smile. "What charm? You're kind of a bitch" He said to me. That caused me to laugh "Thank you so much Hen" I said and put my arm around him.

Inside the club we quickly had found Alex and Lauren. "Hey" Lauren said and handed me a bottle of lemonade and Alex handed Henry one. "Who's your date?" She asked. "That's my cousin Henry" I introduced him to them "Henry, this is Lauren and her boyfriend Alex" I introduced them to him. "You got a girlfriend?" Lauren asked curious. She kind of reminded me of Ronnie.

"No, I'm not interested in having a girlfriend right now" Henry answered and turned to me "My devilish cousin, would you like to dance?" He asked and I laughed once again "You're an idiot!" I said, but followed him onto the dance floor.

Henry and I actually had fun, which I didn't really expect, but I haven't had such a great time in a while.

At midnight, Henry and I left the club laughing together with Lauren and Alex. It would have almost been a perfect time, when Jordan wouldn't be standing right in front of us. "Promise, Henry? What are you doing up so late?!" He asked like he would be my father. "Partying?" I asked, saying it like it was obvious. "You're 15! You belong in your room and your bed! No wonder Jaden kept texting me to look for you!"

"Wait a second! You're 15!?" Lauren asked surprised and shocked at the same time. "Almost 16" I corrected her. "I'm gonna go!" Alex said and walked away. "I'm gonna go after him!" Lauren said and followed him. "Great! I found some friends and you ruin it for me! Are you being serious right now?!" I asked upset.

"They ran off immediately after they heard your age!" He tried to make it clear to me. "Still!" I said, knowing he was right, but I refused to admit it. "You have your wish! I'm going to bed!" I said and walked off. Once again my stupid cousin had ruined something for me. He always does that!

On my birthday two years ago, he took the first piece of cake, then he ran against the table and it flew over. My cake was on the floor and he quickly stuffed the piece he had into his mouth.

That's just one of the things he has done. I can't believe that we used to be like brother and sister, because we are kind of the opposite now. Not enemies, but cousins that dislike each other.

Hey guys, I don't know what to write about today, so it's gonna be a post about two topics. Family and fake friends. Let's start with the fake friends.

I have met that totally nice girl today and we got along great from the first second on. She introduced me to her boyfriend, who was also here. They invited me to this Under 21 Club and told me I could bring a friend. I went for my cousin. He and I are working on our relationship right now.

Well, my point is that my only older cousin decided to go look for me and told them my age, which was too young for them. First he ran off, then his girlfriend ran off as well. And there we would be at my other point. Family.

My cousins makes me freak out! He always ruins everything for me. Birthdays, boring family reunion. EVERYTHING!

Okay, but enough of that! Sleep tight.
