The room was quite dark when I woke up, indicating it was now night time. I changed out of my jeans and put on some black shorts, leaving my white tank top on before heading out the door and down the stairs.

Everyone was gathered in the living room, playing UNO. "I'mma beat yo ass, Mia," Finn yells.

"That's Drew's job," she through down a plus four card, "Pick 'em up, motherfucker."

I yawn as I sat beside Finn on the carpet, "Hey guys."

"Bitch, you was asleep for way too damn long. I actually thought yo ass was dead," Drew remarks. I swear that boy has the skin complexion and hair of his father but the mouth of a mad black woman. Kind of like his mom.

His parents separated about three years ago because his mom didn't really have any direction with her life after Lisbeth was born and she didn't want her kids to see her in such a position so Drew's dad had to keep all of them. Drew and Phoenix were both 14 at that time luckily so they helped with everything while their dad was working and stuff.

Ms. Valencia, their mom, moved back in town a few months back and she comes by their house every now and then. Her and Mr. Stevens honestly have the best relationship, I wonder why she left to begin with.

I chuckle at him and yawn once more, "I was so tired. Where's Jace?" I realized he wasn't amongst us.

"Uh, he went out earlier," Finn shrugs, his eyes wide. "Where to?" I raise a brow.

He shrugs, "He just left."

"When?"

"Probably half an hour after you went to bed."

My eyes widen at his words, "That was almost six hours hours ago." I quickly run to the front door and see that both Mia and Finn's cars were here so he probably hadn't gone far.

Everyone was now getting up and heading upstairs when I return, "Where are y'all going?"

"To bed. It's almost eleven at night," Kehlani says with a yawn and I nod, noticing Laila and Jordan now coming inside. Laila walks straight passed me with a small smile and I approach my brother.

"What happened?"

He smiles, "She just wanted us to move on from the dating stage. So I asked her to be my girlfriend."

A smile rises on my cheeks as I hug my twin, "I'm so happy." I release, "Keep her. And do it well. She's too good to lose."

He nods before following up the stairs. "You coming, Princess?" Finn asks from the top of the stairs.

I shook my head with a small smile, "Nah. I'll just watch some TV or something." He gave me a worried look before heading up the stairs. Where to?, I don't know because he sleeps on the couch I'm sitting on and all the girls in this house are taken...unless he's going for Kehlani.

I cringe at the thought before laughing at myself and heading in the kitchen. I place two Strawberry poptarts-only the best flavor-on a plate and warm them in the microwave.

Who needs a toaster?

I'm really worried about Jace though. Where would he be at eleven at night? And the fact he left without telling me hurts the most. It's almost as if he-

The beep of the microwave disturbed me of my thoughts and I grab my plate and find myself on the couch, catching up on episodes of Hawaii Five-o.

Chin Ho Kelly? Yass.

I set the remote down on the armrest, my plate on the coffee table before going upstairs in Jace's room, finding a small blanket in his closet. I as well grab my phone before returning to the couch and cuddling myself up in the blanket before texting Jace.
