*Lidia's P.O.V*
I woke up the next morning to an unussually desolate house. It wasn't even my bed. The first thing I could think of was it's a school day, the sun is shining, and I'm not there. What time is it? I proped my head up and reached over towards my phone. I realized I was in my room at Kev's house. 11:47. Crap! I flew out of bed and quickly got dressed in denim jeans and a white I love Jonas t-shirt and headed downstairs for a quick breakfast. There was a note on the counter and I chose to ignore it as the memory of last night came flooding back in my brain. I poored the cereal and then the milk, by that time there was no avoiding the note.
Lidia,
I heard what happened last night. We figured we'd let you sleep in so we turned off your alarm. Feel free to walk to school if you'd like or hang out around here. Call me when you wake up or if you wanna talk. I'm always here. Love you lots!
-Dani
Did Kevin hate me? And that's why he didn't write his own note? I'm so confused. I had a choice to make school or to stay home? School. But only cuz Jaden's there and I haven't seen him since last night. I walked back upstairs when I finished my cereal and grabbed my phone dialing Dani's number. The phone rang a couple times and someone finally picked up on the other end of the line.
D: Hello?
L: Hey I just wanted to call you and tell you I'm up and that I've chosen to go to school.
D: Okay sweetie. You okay after last night?
L: Yeah. Is Kev mad though?
D: What would he be mad about you just went to talk to your mom.
L: That's all he told you?
D: Yeah why? He said it was an emotional night and that you may want to talk about it with someone other than your brothers and I should keep my phone on just in case.
L: Hmm. Well, I do want to talk about it, but not over the phone. Can I come over for dinner tonight?
D: We're all going over to your house tonight. We can just talk then. Sound good?
L: Yeah. I'll see you tonight then.
D: Okay. Love you sweetie.
L: Love you too Dani.
*end of conversation*
I grabbed my backpack from beside my night stand and my set of keys from the hook downstairs and left locking the door behind me. I don't know why I'm going to school if there's only an hour and a half left, but I figured it beats sitting at Kev's house worrying so I went. I texted Joe's friend Ashley who works at Starbucks and told her I was running late if she would make me a Double Chocolate Chip Frap w/o whip cream and I'll pay when I get there. When I walked through the front door I met her at the front counter and traded my money for the drink. This is exactly what I needed. I walked in through the front doors and checked in at the office to get a late pass to class. I slid into my seat in reading just as the bell was ringing signaling to start class. I looked around at the seats surronding mine. Jenna's here, Nallia, and Kyle, but no Jaden. Just as I was opening my notebook to take note a shadow moved into the desk in front of mine. He turned around and smiled at me, bags under his eyes and his hair messed up like he had just gotten out of bed.
"Good morning." He whispered sweetly before turning around in his seat to pay attention to Ms. Crola. The class past by for what seamed like forever. When the final bell rang the day was over. We exited the class single filed and made our way towards the stairs.
"So does your brother remember anything from last night?" Jaden started as we made our way downstairs.
"Um I haven't seen him since last night, so I don't know. They're all at the studio today til 3 so I'll have the entire walk home to figure out how I'm going to approach the topic." I said looking down at the grass while we stood there and then looking up into his beautiful eyes.
"You're walking home alone?"
"Yup. Wierd huh?" I said probably sounding a little nervous because I never walk home alone. It's always with Kay, but she and I are kinda on a fall-out for what ever reason.
"Let me give you a ride. The last thing I want is for you to get kid-napped the day after we became a couple."
"Oh so tomorrow would be an okay day for me to get ran over for you? Let me just pencil that into my calendar." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Could you. My people just called and said I'm free."
"Oh good. I was wondering." I said.
"Come on. I'll drive you home." He said grabbing my bag off my shoulder and taking my hand in his. If he wasn't a perfect gentlemen I don't know who is. He opened the passanger door for me and then put both our bags in the back seat. After pulling out of the schools parking lot he turned the radio on softly and intertwined his hand in mine. We sat in comfteble silence, well until Tonight came on the radio.
"I just can't get away from them." I said laughing.
"Who?"
"This is one of my brother's newest singles." I explained.
"These? These are your brothers?!" He exclaimed like he'd just hit the jackpot.
"Yup." I popped my "p" trying to hold in my laughs from his light bulb moment.
"My little sister loves these guys! I know most of their songs because of her. I always thought they were a pretty little boy band not, oh I don't know, not normal like people!" I couldn't help but laugh.
"No. Boy bands is Big Time Rush, my brothers are legit. And normal, crazy... but normal."
"Wow. Do you mind if I tell my sister?"
I laughed. "No. We're actually having dinner over at my house tonight if you wanna bring your dad and sister with you. I'm sure the family would love to meet you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean we are a couple now, might as well get to know the family right?"
"Yeah I guess. What time should we be over?" He asked pulling up to the curb in front of my house.
"5ish."
"Okay we'll be there for sure. Should we bring anything?"
"Just yourselves, an appatite, and your gorgeous charm."
"Oh, I never leave the house without my charm." I laughed and reached over to give him a hug. "See you tonight." He said comfortingly. I nodded and got out of the car, unlocked the front door and waved as he drove away.
"I'm HOME!"
"In the kitchen!" Mom called. I dropped my bag by the table next to the front door.
"Hey mom. Soo Umm."
"I know. Kevin told me. Congrats. He seems like a really sweet boy." she said without even turning around from peeling potatoes.
"Yeah. I think he's amazing, I hope you don't mind the short notice but I invited his, his father, and his sister over for family dinner tonight. I figured they're kinda part of the family know, I guess."
"That sounds great honey. I can't wait to meet his family and get to know him more. Everybody is coming over around 5:00 so why don't you go start your homework and clean up your room until then."
"Okay. Love you."
"Love you too sweetie." She gave me a kiss on the forehead before I made my way upstairs to my room.
