No Going Back Now

Chapter 4

(Hey everyone!! Don't forget to vote! I hope you like it so far because there's a lot more coming! This one ends on a cliff so be prepared! I'll post the next chapter in a few!)

Today is the last day of school and I actually wake up on time today. JC is sitting up on the couch looking at me while I wake up. "What are you looking at?" I laugh.

"Nothing" he smiles. I can tell he is lying.

"Okay then, I'm going to go take a shower" I laugh and I go to take a shower and curl my hair with some gel. I put some random last minute outfit on from some clothes I left at his house. I found one of my old dresses and put it on. And then added a little makeup.

I go downstairs and smell something delicious. Bacon. I take in a big whiff and go down the stairs. JC made breakfast. Omelets with bacon and hash. I sit down at the table and JC says "Good morning Karle you look pretty today."

The butterflies are back. "Thanks and thanks for making breakfast." I smile and he nods. We sit at the table and eat our breakfast, which was delicious.

"Ready to go?" JC asks. I nod.

We go out to his mustang and he drives us to school. When we get there my friends Racheal, Jordan, Courtney, Amber, and my sister Ashley are all standing in the parking lot with their boyfriends. Racheal with Connor, Jordan with Sam, Courtney with Kian, Amber with Trevor, and Ashley with Ricky. Racheal and Connor have been together the longest, about two years now and they are so cute together.

We walk over to them and say "Hey guys."

"Hey bæ" -Courtney

"What up girl?"-Jordan

"Hi"-Amber

"Hey buttface"-Ashley

"Hey dummy"-Racheal

The guys just wave and we all talk for a while on how exited we are for summer to start. We show them our freshly done tattoos and they all stare in awe. We later walk into the school and go to our separate classes except JC and I. We've had our classes together all year which is really surprising because I usually get stuck with all the basic bitches and no friends at all.

The hour flies by since it is a half day and the hours are shortened. The day goes by really quick and luckily none of the teachers talked to us about the exams.

JC and I go to our lockers and wait for our friends to come around. They finally came out of their classes.

"Hey, let's all go out for lunch." JC suggests. Everybody agrees and we all go outside and get in our separate cars. We all decided on BDubs.

JC turns on some music but keeps it low. We arrive at BDubs and JC parks. He looks at me and puts his hand over on my thigh and the indescribably amazing butterflies are back stronger than ever before. "Karle... I've been meaning to tell you something for a long time.." Omg is he going to tell me what I think he is? *knock, knock* JC was interrupted.

Racheal is at the drivers side window and says "C'mon guys let's go." Are you kidding me? I think to myself.

"Okay, I'll tell you later Karle." JC says while getting out of the car.

The whole time at BDubs flies by and I can't stop thinking about what JC was going to say. Racheal offers to drive me home and I go with her but I think 'great now I have to wait longer for JC.'

She drives me home and my dad is home by then so the door is unlocked and I walk in and go straight to my room. I sit on my bed just thinking and thinking. My dad tried to offer me dinner but I just stayed in my room.

Later I got a text from JC. *Are you ready for tomorrow?*

*What's tomorrow?* I text back.

*It's the big day... Your party!* Oh I completely forgot about that.. Oops.

*I'm as ready as I'll ever be lol*

*Okay lol see ya tomorrow and make sure you act surprised goodnight* Maybe he told everyone else it was a surprise party, although I don't remember him saying anything about it to them.

*Okay, goodnight JC* I put my phone away and lay in bed with the covers over my head. I fell asleep around 10pm.

"Karle! Wake up!" My dad yells from down the hall. It's 7am.

"It's too early! Just let me sleep!" I yell back and yawn a couple of times.

"JC told me you have to be at his house at 3pm! So I just wanted to make sure you have enough time to get ready." He explains.

"Okay thanks dad." I say and I get up to go to the bathroom I take a shower and head back to my room. I stand in the closet for what feels like forever just trying to pick out an out fit. "Dad!" I call out.

"What's the problem?" he says running down the hall.

"I need help picking an outfit." I explain and I had two dresses laying out on my bed. "Pick one." I say.

"Well neither of them are really my style.." He jokes. "But I would wear the red one if I were you."

"Okay thanks." I shove him out of my room and put on the little red dress. It has short lace sleeves and a little black belt around the waist and the dress is just above my knees. I pick out a cute pair of heels to go with the dress and put them on.

I go to the bathroom and dry my hair. I put on some mascara and a little coverup. I grab the curler and curl my hair in to perfect little curls.

I go back to my room grab my phone and put on some perfume. "Dad, I need a ride to JC's. Can you take me?" I ask.

"Sure thing sweetie." It's already three and they are probably wondering where I am. "By the way, happy 18th birthday beautiful." Dad says tearing up.

I start to tear up, "Don't make me cry, you're going to ruin my makeup." We laugh.

We start heading off to JC's and got there in a few minutes. My dad and I say our goodbyes and I watch him drive off. I notice there are no cars in the driveway at all. I walk up tithe door and hesitate before opening it. I practice my surprised face a couple of times.

I open the door and nobody is there. JC jumped up from behind his couch and yells "Surprise! Wow you look beautiful Karle. Happy 18th birthday!" He smiles at me.

"Thanks but where is everybody?" He looks around like he didn't notice.

"Well..." He walks closer to me and takes my hands. Oh god the feels are back... I nod for him to continue. He looks me in the eyes and his are sparkling so beautifully. "Karle, I need to tell you something..."
