6:00p.m.

Me and Sam have been dating for a while now. Ever since November 5th.

Leo, we're gonna have Sam come over today. I smile, helping him color in his super hero coloring book.

He always comes over. Leo sighs.

Don't you like him though? I ask. Georgie has hated the idea of me and Sam dating. He wants me to himself.

Yeah, he's cool, but, he's a bit annoying.

How? I smirk.

He teases me too much.

I'll tell him to stop. I laugh.

A knock appears at the door, and it opens.

I'm here! Sam yells.

Hey! I hug him, he kisses my cheek.

What's up, buddy? He ruffles Leo's hair. Leo glares at him.

Oh, um..Leo hates when you tease him. I smile.

I'm sorry. He salutes him. Leo laughs.

So. I say, sitting him down on the couch. He kisses my neck.

You wanna go out tonight? He questions, still kissing me.

What about Leo..?

He could hang out with Cherri and Ken, my niece and nephew.

Okay, where do you want to go? I stand up and walk into the kitchen.

How about..a really fancy dinner place, then, my place? He smirks.

What are we going to do at your place..? I fill two glasses and a plastic cup with lemonade.

You could stay the night. He winks. I hand him a glass and Leo his plastic cup.

Sam, you know I'm still 16. I sigh.

So? I'm 17.

I'm not going to be 16 and pregnant.

Hey, I'm gonna use protection.

I shake my head, laughing a little.

Leo, you wanna go stay the night at Sam's sisters? I yell.

I guess, but, are you going to be there? His face turns sad.

No, I'm gonna go out with Sam, is that okay?

Yeah, I guess. He shrugs.

Okay. I look back at Sam.

Guess we're going out? He asks.

Only in his dirty dreams. Georgie yells. I ignore him.

Yup.

I hope nothing goes wrong with this..

8:30p.m.

We decided to drop Leo off around 8pm.

He looked sad when we left.

We should stay with him.. Georgie scolds.

He'll be fine. I glare

Lace? Sam asks.

What...? I answer back, looking at him.

You okay? Looks like your having a conversation with yourself..

No-I'm fine. I look out his car window.

He puts his hand on my leg.

Babe, seriously. He glances at me.

Sam...I'm fine. I stare at him.

Okay. He takes his hand off my leg, back on the wheel.

This is a bad idea. You're going to get hurt.. Georgie yells.

Shut up!! You don't anything!! I put my hands over my ears.

Sam looks at me.

Lacey, what's wrong?? He reaches over to me.

I glance at the road.

A truck drives in front of us.

It stops at the red light, Sam doesn't.

Sam!!! The road!!! I scream.

He gets enough time to move the steering wheel, but we still drive right into the truck.
