The Next Level *SEQUEL TO LPAG*

| Chapter Ten : The Party Don't Start Till I Walk In |

(Back to normal, folks. Sowwie. xD)

It had been a few days since I found out Alex got accepted into a college he always wanted to be in. He wanted to play ball; he always had, and this college had the best players ever. If he could just get this chance, and be seen by someone important... He could get his dream - he could be out there playing professional football. But, one thing was keeping him from doing that. And that one thing was me. I felt so guilty - he didn't have to stay. He could just... Leave. But he wanted to stay.

No, I want him to go. He needs to go.

But he still won't make up his mind completely. Whatever he chose, I'd be right there by him every step of the way. I'd support him no matter what. I would be proud of him no matter what. That's the one thing I'd always be sure of - I'd support and be proud of him no matter what.

I smiled as I nodded to myself, my mind was made up. If he goes, I go. If he doesn't, I'll just visit Trinity in her law school and Derek in his ___ school. Serenity ended up changing her mind about going to England as well, but she still wanted to go and see it, so she ended up talking me into taking a trip with her sometime to there. Instead of going to England, Serenity ended up applying for a college in New York.

Everyone's plans changed, things got changed, but hey. That's life, right?

I suddenly heard the phone ringing. I got up and answered it.

"Joooceey boo?" Trinity called out.

"Triney Trin Trin?" I sang out. She giggled as did I before we continued.

"Hey, so, do you and Alex wanna hang today? Derek and I are bored, so... Yeah, just thought maybe we could
Hang out since Seren's working." She
babbled on. I laughed lightly to myself and she shut up.

"Okay," I giggled out, "sure. When? Right now or? I have to see I'd Alex wants to come anyways, soo..."

"Uhh say... 15 minutes? At your little place in the woods?" Trinity asked.

"Humm," I hummed out. "Suuuure."

"Kay!" She exclaimed happily, "See you in fifteen!"

"Okay, byyeeee." I said, still laughing a bit at her.

"See yaaaa! Ta Ta." She said before we hung up.

After I hung up I called Alex. After a few rings he picked up, his deep voice slipping into my ear and sending goose bumps up and down my spins.

"Hello baby," he spoke up, "sup?"

"Nothing...much..." I said with a bit of mischief in my voice. "You?"

He frowned lightly as he rolled his eyes and spoke up, "Alright, spill it Joce."

"Spill...what?" I asked, teasing him and putting an innocent, confused face on.

He narrowed his eyes before he spoke up again, "Spill. It. Jocelynn."

I blinked at him a few more times before I giggled and replied, "Alright alright... No need go get hostile man! Trinity wanted to know if you'd come hang with her and Derek and I. I don't know, but she might have a plan. Don't ask me what, 'cause like I said, I don't know what she's thinking."

He chuckled as he spoke up, "Okay babe. I get the idea here, you can stop repeating yourself now. And yeah sure I'll hang with you three. I'd always pick being with you."

I grinned as butterflies swarmed my stomach. A few goosebumps found their way to my arms and legs as well. I finally replied to him, "Oh you're just saying that. But alrighty."
