Many hours had flown by, it was now 4:20pm and I should've been home from 'school' by now, but I wasn't, I was out with Grayson, we went penny boarding around the area so I knew all the best places to go and hang out, he also took me to Pizza Hut for a lunch date. He is so cute. We were penny boarding back to his house, and whilst doing so I saw my dads car pull into the drive of my house "crap, that's my dad!" I cried "he'll be expecting me home, he won't be happy if I'm not" I said to Grayson worriedly "it'll be okay" he whispered, whilst doing so he pulled me onto his back and grabbed my penny board, I quietly squealed as he ran to hide behind a tree "just phone your mum saying you were at the skatepark with Casey or something and will be home in 5 minutes, then go around the block and penny board the opposite way down to your house so it looks like you came from the skatepark, not my house" Grayson suggested, I nodded, I
carefully jumped off his back and quickly phoned my mum. As I ended the call I sighed and turned to face Grayson "well I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow" I sighed, he nodded, shuffling his feet I looked up to him and lightly kissed him on the cheek, I then turned around and quickly penny boarded down the block "bye Gray!" I called out he waved back and I soon couldn't see him.

I arrived back to my house and unlocked the door, I casually walked in and placed my penny board down, seeing my school bag in my usual place next to the door, I knew my mum would've realised my bag was there so I quietly closed the door and tip-toed up the stairs, I opened the door to my room to see an angry looking Brooke stood in my door way "oh...hey B" I said to her as casually as I could, I walked in my room and squeezed past her, closing my door behind me, I made my way to my bed and sat down, putting my phone on charge "Elizabeth...I have a question for you" Brooke said, turning around to face me, I looked up to her, whilst comfortably laying on my bed, she didn't wait for a reply and just carried on talking "I arrived home at 12:00pm as I was allowed to leave collage early, as I walked through the door I saw your school bag sat in its usual place next to the door, if you were at school don't say that you left your bag here, because then your just an idiot for not taking anything to school" My jaw dropped and my eyes widened crap I thought to myself, what am I suppose to tell her, she's my sister, she knows whenever I'm lying, she just reads it off my face "well..." I started, trying to think of an excuse "don't even try to think of a lie, I know you weren't at school today" I gulped as I stared up to my sister staring down at me, what was I suppose to say "well...spit it out then" she said, tapping her foot on the ground impatiently "okay...don't get mad and pleaseeeeee don't tell mum and dad but..." I started, I took a deep breath and carried on "Ididntgotoschoolinsteadistayedatethaandgraysonshouseovernightasihadapanicattackandstayedthereforthedayinsteadofgoingintoschoolsograysoncalledinsickpretemdingtobedad" I said so quickly that even I didn't know what I was saying "woah, I didn't understand a word of that, slow down, I won't get mad" Brooke said calmly, sitting down next to me on my bed, I sighed and repeated what I said, but slower this time "I didn't go to school, instead I stayed at Ethan and a Grayson's house overnight as I had a panic attack and I stayed there for the day instead of going to school so Grayson called in sick pretending to be dad" I stared at the disgusted look on Brooke's face and turned around, stuffing my head into my pillow, I needed to cry but I didn't want to cry anymore, I had done enough of that the day before "Elizabeth" Brooke sighed, I said nothing and just shook my head further into the pillow "Elizabeth look at me" she said reassuringly, I slowly lifted my head up and looked at her, holding back my tears "what is wrong with you Beth?" She said calmly, I gasped at her quietly "you can't skip school to stay at your boyfriends house, for god sake Elizabeth your only 16!" I took a deep breath "I'm sorry Brooke, please don't tell mum and dad" I begged, she sighed and nodded her head "fine...I won't" she promised.

Josh's P.O.V
I was walking out of the bathroom to go back to my room as I heard Brooke moaning at Elizabeth, I quietly walked over to her door and pushed my ear into it. I'm so nosy, but I can't help it, I heard Brooke say something about Elizabeth missing school, this I had to hear! I heard Elizabeth quickly say that she stayed at her boyfriends house, she also asked Brooke not to tell mum and dad... but me she didn't tell not to. I couldn't help it, I'm a 12 year old boy who needs entertaining, I ran down the stairs and into mums arms "hello darling, you okay?" Mum asked, I nodded then told her what I had heard, and she was mad, she stormed up the stairs, leaving me at the bottom, just as mum got to the top of the stairs Brooke left the room "oh, hi mum" she said awkwardly, she walked back into her room and shut the door behind her, mum stormed into Elizabeth's room and I heard her shout very loudly "What the hell do you think you were doing, skipping school to stay at your boyfriends house? Are you crazy?!" She yelled, Elizabeth started yelling back, explaining what I told mum, just in a different way, mum then shouted back at her "you are not to see that boy again! Not even at school! He has a bad influence on you!" I could hear Elizabeth burst out into tears, I couldn't help but feel bad for telling mum about what I heard "no mum please don't do that to me! I love Grayson! You know he's nice he's stayed here before for dinner and you said you liked his company!" I heard Beth scream, "well that was before you skipped school for him" mum sighed, I heard Beth cry even more, I had, had enough I ran up the stairs and into Beth's room to see her with a bright red face and tears streaming down her eyes, mum saw me and stormed out the room, I walked over and sat next to Elizabeth "Beth" I said quietly "stay out of this J" she complained, running her hands through her hair "Beth I'm sorry" I sighed, I felt terrible, I looked up to Elizabeth so much and because of me she can't see her boyfriend "what for? Because I can't see Grayson...well thanks I guess" she complained "no" I sighed she looked at me, rubbing her eyes, smudging her makeup all over her face "I heard your conversation with Brooke and told mum everything I heard" I sighed, I couldn't look her in the eyes "get out" was all I heard her say, I looked up to her "what?" I asked, she stopped crying and instead became angry "I said get out" she shouted, I stood up off the bed and walked to her door and grabbed the handle "I'm sorry Beth I didn't think this would happen" I said calmly "your sorry? Your sorry? How can you be sorry you clearly did this to upset me!" She screamed, I shook my head "OMG JUST GET OUT I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" she screamed, id never seen her like that before, I quickly scurried out the room into mine, slamming my door behind me and broke down into tears on my bed.
