Chapter 18 - Super 8.

@TheMacyBlack: Just a heads-up for any fans of my brother, he still sleeps with a bear he got when he was 4. He named it Joe.

@RyanBlack: @MacyBlack Cute. I'll get you back.

@TheMacyBlack: @RyanBlack I'm shaking

@RyanBlack: @TheMacyBlack You should be.

I rolled my eyes and closed my twitter app, opening my texts.

You busy tonight? 

Nope, why?

I was just thinking that since we didn't get to do anything on your birthday with all those people and paparazzi and stuff, we could do something tonight? You know, just you and me.

Tonight?

You don't have to if you don't want to. It's okay if you're busy. I don't mind.

No, I'm free. What do you have in mind?

Well, I was thinking a movie maybe? I think Super 8 is playing.

Sounds good. What time?

I'll come pick you up at around 7? The movie starts at 7:30, so we can get in and get something to eat.

Alright. See you at 7, then.

I sighed and stood up, checking the time on my phone. 6:15. What short notice, Codes. Thanks so much.

I started digging through my closet to find a decent outfit for tonight. I settled on a black Hollister sweater with white writing on the arm, a matching white tank top underneath and a pair of bright blue jeans. I threw on a matching blue hat and a pair of black ballet flatts. I put on a bit of makeup, but not much because I've never been too fond of the stuff. Just as I was finishing up, I heard the doorbell ring and Leia start barking hysterically. I walked to the balcony that overlooked the living room, kitchen and entryway. It was right outside my room, Ryan's room was at the other end of the hall next to the bathroom, and my mom's room was between my room and the bathroom. My room was closest the staircase that ended right beside the front door.

"Hello, Cody. How are you?" My mom asked.

"Great, thanks. Is Macy ready?" He asked.

"Uh, i don't know... Macy!"

"Coming!" I replied, sliding down the handrail. "Hey."

"You need to stop doing that, you're either gonna break the rail or your neck." She laughed, shaking her head. "You two have fun. Be safe."

"We will." I called as I closed the door.

"So, I've almost got my full liscence and then I can stop asking my mom for rides everywhere." He laughed.

"Right, you're almost 17. I forgot." I rolled my eyes as he opened the door for me. "Stop it, I'm capeable of opening my own car door."

"Yes, but I like to be a gentleman." He whispered in my ear and walked to the other side. I shook my head and got into the car.

"Hello, Macy. How are you?" Cody's mom asked.

"I'm good, Mrs. Simpson, thanks. And you?"

"I'm good."

"Okay, let's get this show on the road, we don't wanna be late." Cody said, closing his door.
