"You were totally fine with the janoskians when you knew I was stalking them! What changed?" I questioned my dad. I wasn't going to let him tell me who I could date, it wasn't fair. I was old enough to make my own decisions. Beau's a nice guy. My dad just doesn't know him. I sat down by the kitchen table and waited for a response.
"I watched some of their videos," My dad said calmly. He seemed tired, annoyed even. I had been asking him questions ever since he forced Beau out the door a couple of hours ago.
"That doesn't mean you automatically know him and how he acts!" I shouted. I didn't understand my dad. He was usually so cool with everything. He was the parent that let me do stuff because he trusted me and wanted me to have fun.
My dad just shook his head. "Mari, I'm trying to protect you. I've seen their videos. They seem rude, and..and very sexually active."
"What? No, those are just videos. What video did you even watch?" I asked. I agreed that some of their videos seemed inappropriate - especially to a parent - but that didn't mean they actually acted like that.
"I watched their public wanking and public nuisance videos, and that was enough for me."
I sighed. That was probably the worst one he could have watched for this situation. "He's not like that. Just get to know him?" I begged.
"No means no. Sorry Mari. It's for the better."
I felt like screaming. I marched out of the kitchen and up to my room. I didn't even care what he said, he wasn't going to stop me. I had the chance to date a Janoskian. One of my idols that I've loved and supported for at least two years. I wasn't going to just give up, this was a once in a lifetime chance. Any fan would be dying to be me right now. Except for the fact that my dad won't allow it. I flopped down onto my bed and grabbed my phone. I noticed Beau had been texting me.
Beau: what's happening? you're not in trouble, are you?
Beau: Mari?
Beau: your dad didn't convince you to hate me, did he? haha (;
Beau: where are you?
I smiled because he was concerned. He genuinely cared whether or not my dad liked him and if I still wanted to date him. Of course I did.
Me: I'm not in trouble but my dad won't change his mind...and of course I don't hate you (;
It didn't take him very long to respond to me again. He must have been waiting.
Beau: good! so the date's off?
Me: I guess..but we'll figure something out. don't worry (:
And I would. I'd figure it out eventually. I wasn't going to let this opportunity go to waste. I couldn't. Even if I had to sneak around to see Beau, I'd find a way.

*Kat's POV*
I followed the waitress to a small table for two that was across from a window. It was a pretty good spot. James was following closely behind me. He had his hand on my back, like he was guiding me towards the table. We both sat down across from each other. The waitress told us she would be back with menus, and she disappeared into the restaurant.
"Isn't this place nice?" James asked me.
I nodded, "It is. But isn't it expensive? I'd be fine with anywhere you wanted to eat."
"And I want to eat here. You deserve the best." James flashed a smile. He was so cute.
"That's so sweet." I smiled back at him. The waitress soon came back with the dinner menus and offered to get us some drinks. James ordered a gingerale, and I just got lemonade. We both spent a few minutes looking at the menus but we eventually decided on the ribs. It didn't take very long for the food to arrive. We were both pretty hungry and we ate fast.
