We sit on the porch of Jakes house as we hear the door open. "Hey Mom" Says Jake as I instantly lift my head up from his shoulder. Pam better not tell my mom that Im hanging with Jake or I will be screwed. "Hi Honey,I have to go to work..I have a night shift So you will be alone with you're brother." Jake nods as she shifts past us and leaves in her car. "I think Im gonna go now" I say as I feel myself getting a bit tired "What you mean party girl? Its the weekend" he chuckles as I look him in the eye "Actually we had school today" I sass back "yeah but nor me or you went to school" he points out as I knew I was losing this. "Wanna come into my house?" He asks as I look up at him "You're brother is in" I say knowing that Logan doesn't like me "He's not,He snuck out to see his 'Side Chick'.." he says as I begin to slightly laugh "my mom won't let me anyway" I say already getting up "She won't have to know" Deep down I really wanted to go and hang out with Jake at his house but I can't because if my mom finds out I would be grounded once again...But, Im 18 she can't tell me what to do or not to do. "Please Erika" he begs with him stood up "Fine" I say as Jake takes me by my wrist and takes me up the stairs of the porch and towards the front door.I wanted to spend time with Jake but in reality I also wanted to prove to my mom that she isn't in control of me anymore as Im 18. We enter Jakes house and its all silent "Want anything to eat?" He asks walking over to the kitchen "Nah Im okay" I answer. Jake goes over and grabs a bag of chips and two bottles of water and we begin to walk upstairs. "Where are we going?" I ask as Im already out of breathe of walking up the stairs "My room" he answers as My heart stopped for a second "Don't worry you're mom won't catch you this time" he says ensuring me that everything will be okay. I sit on Jakes bed as he goes down on his knees and goes under his bed reaching for something "So Im not much of a traditional guy that watched movies with girls or some stupid boring shit" he says half under the bed. He begins to come out "I like to be more interactive" he says pulling out a bug box of board games and my eyes go big to how much of a weirdo but cool guy Jake actually is. "Im so down" I say as Jake start to take some out the box. "Let me tell you Jake,You are something different" as I finish he looks up at me and smiles from ear to ear. I look into my room which I could see from Jakes window "My room looks so big from here" I say admiring how messy I left it. As I was looking into my room the door started to open I continued to look and saw my mom come in "Shit!" I say ducking down "My mom is there" I say as Jake walks up to me grabs me by my waist and picks me up making me stand "Jake what are you doing? She will find me!" "She won't, we can see her but she can't see us. Its like cars have black out windows. We can see out them but people can't see us." He says as I kinda get surprised in how smart this kid actually is. "Well that's kinda shit though" "Why?" He gasps "I can't see you" I say kinda sad "You can,its a remote control I can make it blacked out when you are in with me and when you are in your house I can just make it clear" he says slowly coming closer towards me. Jake was inches away from my face as I was looking in his eyes and he was looking in mine "Scrabble?" He says with a smile on his face as I try not to laugh out but just smile back, I nod my head yes and we both sit down. We began playing the game. Jake seemed happier than ever and that made me really happy to think that he wants to spend time with me.
