Today marks one month since mine and Cody's first date so we're going out to dinner to celebrate. Drake got out of hospital after a few days and he's all good now accept from a few scars on him. Right now Jamie and I are at the spa.

"What's the plan for tonight then?" She asked me. "Well Mom finally agreed to letting us sleep in the same bed so he's sleeping at mine after our date and he hasn't actually told me where we're eating." "So how do we know how to dress you?" "Oh he said that I don't wanna be wearing anything too fancy." I told her.

"Where is he now?" "Rehearsals." "For what?" "He's going to Europe for the second leg of his tour." I explained. "What are you gonna do without him?" "I can be without him." I laughed. "But for months?" "I dunno." I shrugged. "What if he finds someone new while he's on tour? Or what if he cheats?" She asked. "He's not going to." I laughed it off.

After a few hours we left the spa and headed for my house so I could get ready. "Have you eaten today?" "I have." "What did you eat?" Jamie asked as she looked through the cupboards. "She ate some toast with me." Dylan said as he came into the kitchen.

"Okay." She smiled and then got out a juice box. I watched her gulp it down and then threw it away, she paused and gave me a look. "Let's go upstairs." She said and pulled me to my bedroom in a hurry. "Was that your toast in the garbage?" "I wasn't hungry." I shrugged. "You have to eat, Lilah, if you don't eat you'll be too skinny. You can already see your hip and collar bones and you have a thigh gap. Why are you not eating? It's not healthy!" She scolded me.

"Just because I wasn't hungry once it doesn't mean I'm not eating." "Oh really?" "Yup." "Oh really?!" She raised her voice. "Yes!" "Cody said that he hasn't seen you eat much recently." "And Cody knows everything?" I put my hands on my hips. "He spends every minute of every day with you, if you're not eating around him then you're not eating." She put her hands on her hips.

"You know I can get ready by myself so if you're gonna shout at me you can go home." I dismissed and slid the door of my closet to the side. "Fine." Jamie sighed and stood by my side ready to help me choose. Once we'd chosen Jamie started on my hair and then did my makeup before I got changed.

"I can't believe it's nearly seven already." Jamie said as she looked at her phone. "Cody's gonna be here soon." I pointed out so we went downstairs. "Mom, Cody's going to be here in a bit." I said and sat with her on the couch. "What time shall I expect you home?" "Normal time, I think." "Have fun, sweetie." "Bye." "Bye, Charleen." Jamie smiled. I walked her to the door and opened it for her.

"And look, here's lover boy." Jamie smirked at me. "Not a minute late." She said as she looked at her phone. "Jamie.." "Yes, I'm going!" She laughed at me and then walked up the drive. "Everything okay?" Cody asked, I nodded. "Just fine." I smiled and took his hand.

"Aren't we going in your car?" I asked confused. "Nope, I have something else planned for you." He smiled and led me up the driveway. "So where are you taking me?" I asked. "A little someone told me that you love Indian food?" "You know, you don't need to talk to Jamie about everything just to impress me." "You don't open up to me so I have to find out somehow." He smiled.

"It takes time." "I know it does. In the mean time, Jamie can help me." "As long as you understand that." I smiled at him. "So how was your day?" "It was good, Jamie's parents got her and a friend a day to the spa for her birthday so we went today." I grinned. "Oh yeah, it was her birthday a few weeks ago." He remembered.

"In July, yes." "When's your birthday?" "October third." "So you're quite a bit older than her." "Just a few months." I shrugged. "I always thought you were younger than Alli." "Nope. I'm older." I smiled. "I figured." He laughed. "So where is this restaurant?" I asked as we walked along the street.
