*Recap*
Joey kisses the screen and ends the FaceTime call, I set my phone back down and go back to sleep. I wake up the next morning and get up, I take a shower and get dressed for the day. I walk downstairs and make some cereal, Mom walks in the door a few minutes later.
A: Hi Mom. How was your business trip.
Mom: Hey hunny. It was good. When did Joey leave?
A: Yesterday. Yesterday was a very bad day.
Mom: Why sweetie?
A: Because-
Mom: You're not pregnant are you?
A: No Mom! Why would you think that?
Mom: Because you have a boyfriend and you guys were unsupervised for 2 weeks. Who knows what you guys did.
A: We didn't do anything. I promise.
Mom: Okay. Well anyways Why was yesterday a bad day?
A: Because Joey had to leave and I don't know when I get to see him again and because Mark went to go surprise Loren for her birthday and he caught her cheating.
*End Of Recap*

Mom: She cheated on Mark?
A: Yeah.
Mom: That poor boy. Is he okay?
A: I think so but I'm not sure. He came over yesterday and his eyes were bloodshot and he had red puffy bags under his eyes.
Mom: I feel bad for him.
A: I do too.
Mom: Didn't he have like the biggest crush on Loren since 3rd grade?
A: Yeah and when he finally got her too she cheats on him and like breaks his heart.
Mom: That sucks.
A: Yeah.
Mom: Okay well I'm going to unpack then take a nap.
A: Okay.

Mom walks up to her room and I go lay on the couch and cover up with a blanket, I start watching TV and my eyes slowly drift off to sleep. Before I fall asleep my phone starts ringing, I look at it and see Joey is FaceTiming me and I quickly answer the call.
J: Hey babe.
A: Hi Joey.
J: How did you sleep last night?
A: Good but my bed felt really empty without you here.
J: Aww princess I miss you so much.
A: I miss you so much too. How did you sleep?
J: I felt lonely but I still slept good.
A: Oh. I can't wait till next summer because then I can come back to California for the whole summer and spend it with you.
J: I can't wait till summer either.

Me and Joey talk for a little bit longer, when we're done talking I walk up to my room and take a shower. My phone starts ringing a few seconds later.
A: MOM!
Mom: WHAT AVA?!
A: COME HERE! HURRY!

Mom walks in my bathroom.
Mom: What do you possibly need Ava?
A: Can you answer my phone?
Mom: Fine.

Mom answers my phone and walks out of the bathroom and starts talking, I get out 5 minuets later and walk downstairs with a towel wrapped around me. I go to the living room and grab the brush, Mom walks up to before I get to the stairs.
Mom: Mark called.
A: Okay. I'll go call him back in a minute.
Mom: Well hurry up and get dressed.
A: Why?
Mom: Because Mark is on his way over.
A: Why?
Mom: He said he wanted to hang out for a little bit.
A: Okay.

I walk back upstairs to my bathroom and start brushing my hair, I put on my makeup that I normally put on and walk out to my room and throw on a pair of black leggings with a t-shirt. I put on 1 of Joey's sweatshirts he left here, I put on some socks and walk downstairs. Right when I sit down the doorbell rings, I stand back up and walk to the door and open it.
M: Hey Ava.
A: Hi Mark. What's up?
M: Nothing. I was wondering if you wanted to hangout for a bit?
A: Yeah. Sure. What do you want to do?
M: Maybe the mall?
A: Sure. Mom we're going to the mall!
M: Okay and you don't need to yell I'm in the kitchen Ava.

I roll my eyes and walk out of the house, me and Mark get in his car and he starts driving to the mall.
M: That sweatshirt is huge on you. *laughs*
A: *Laughs* Yeah it is. It's Joey's.
M: Is that why it's so big?
A: Yeah.
M: When do you get to see him again?
A: I don't know. Probably not till next summer.
M: You have to wait 6 months to see him?
A: Yeah. He's on tour for the next 6 months.
M: Oh. I'm sorry.
A: Sorry for what?
M: For bringing that up.
A: It's okay. I basically brought it up by saying it's his.
M: Oh. Do you want to go to the food court when we get there?
A: Yeah.

Me and Mark get to the mall a few minutes later, we walk in and go get some pizza and sit down.
M: You know what we should do?
A: What?
M: Something that we used to when we were like 12 and 13.
A: What's that?
M: A sleepover. *laughs*

I laugh.
M: Do you think Joey would be okay with that?
A: Mark, he's my boyfriend not my dad and he can't tell me who I can and can't hang out with. So he will be okay with it no matter what.
M: *Laughs* Isn't he the jealous type?
A: *Laughs* Yeah but he knows you're my best friend.
M: *Laughs* Okay.

Me and Mark finish eating 5 minuets later, we start walking around the mall. We go to H&M and buy a few outfits, we go to a few more stores then we sit down for a minutes. I call my mom while Mark plays on his phone, she answers on the 3rd ring.
Mom: Hi hunny.
A: Hey Mom.
