The rest of the school day went by slowly. Didn't say much to anyone wasn't in the mood talking to people. As soon as I got home I know that Johnny will try to convince me not to go. I really want to go to Jayden's house. I've never been out with my friends. I've never been at a sleepover. I've never been nowhere outside the house.

The bus journey was quiet too. Didn't say a word to Johnny. My phone kept beeping. I didn't look at it but the beeping kept getting more frequently. It was text messages from Asher and from the girls group chat. I looked at Asher confused. I mouthed to him 'what?!',  'check your phone' he mouthed right back at me.

Asher ☺️

Asher: hello?!
Asher: Anns plz answer me
Asher: I have something really important to tell you
Asher: can we talk? I feel like I need to explain myself
Asher: I want you to hear this from me not the girls
Asher: I know that I've hurt you
Asher: Anns!!

I looked at my phone. I wanted to cry once again. What?! What does he need to tell me. Does it have to do something about this morning with Lauren running towards us? I looked right back at Asher again, still the same expression on my face, confused. But then I noticed Lauren looking right at me. I turned to face her now, she gave me a faint smile and turned to face the front. What's going on?!

Finally arrived at the bus stop. I stepped out the bus quickly rushing after Lauren. "Anns!!" Johnny shouted as I ran up to Lauren. "Lauren Wait! We need to talk!" I try to catch my breath.

"What's wrong?" She questioned confused. "Places tell me!" I exclaimed. Her face turned blank but I know she knows what I'm talking about.

"It's not the right place or time to say it. And... I think that Asher should tell you!" She struggled on her words.

"Oh... okay" I start to walk away. I could tell she was upset about that. I want to cry and left alone. Johnny catches up with me and wrapped his hand around my neck and we walked home together. Why am such a mess? Lauren won't tell me about Asher and it's scaring me to hear the truth.

Loud noise coming from down stairs, waking me from my sleep. I took an hour long nap, but didn't realised that dad had company with him. Johnny was in his room listening to music and playing fortnite with his friends. I couldn't see who was with him but guessing it was Hayden and Carson. I walked passed his room quietly not trying to make any sound, and made my way downstairs. Beep. Beep.

As I approach the living room, the air was filled with sweat, beers and smoke from the fags. It stink so much. I made my way to the kitchen quietly not to disturb my dad and his friends. Didn't end up going my way. "What are you doing here? Go back to your room!" Dad shouted as he saw me walking towards the kitchen. It made me jump. I didn't expect that.

"I- just grabbing- a bottle of water" I struggled with my words. I didn't like when he shouted at me for no reason, it scared me. He scared me.

"You know the rules!" He pointed at the stairs. My eyes start to sting, I didn't like this. I just want something to drink and I'm out of here.

"Now!!" He shouted, once again it made my jump. I quickly ran up the stairs and shut my door in frustration. "I hate him. I hate him". I kept repeating myself.

After, few minutes I hear a knock on my door. "Go away!" I shout with tears in my eyes.

I hear the door opening. "I said go away!" I threw pillow at them. I thought that it was Johnny at the door but it wasn't.

"Wow!" He catches the pillow with his hands. The unfamiliar voice made me tumble, I sat up on the edge of my bed and cover my eyes with my hand. I didn't want them to see my ugly crying face.

"don't hide your face. It's beautiful even if you cry" they say sitting beside me. I leaned my head on their shoulder, a little smile appearing on my face.

"Are you okay? we heard you father shouting and I got a little worried" he breaks the little silence between us two.

"everything is okay" I replied, picking my head up and looking into his eyes.

"are you-" I cut him off. "Yes!! I'm sure" I'd smiled. Now our eyes locked into one another. His sparkly hazel eyes, I couldn't look away. They were so beautiful, I mean are. Damn never noticed Carson's eyes were this pretty.

Still looking into each other eyes. It felt weird, weird sensation in my stomach. His eyes moved up and down. At one point he was looking into my eyes and the other he was looking at my lips. Damn I want to kiss him.

As we lean in closer and closer. Our lips inches apart from one another. I could feel his warm breath speeding up, like he was getting nervous. It was adorable seeing him nervous. I could never expect him, to be the nervous type.

Still inches apart from each other, getting closer by every second. Our lips joined, he placed his hand on my thigh, making me nervous. I moved away from the kiss, leaving both of us stunned.

"Ahem" I hear another voice at the door. I turned to see Hayden and Johnny, both with their hands crossed. We both quickly got up from the bed and stand straight, like in the army.

"What's going on here?" Johnny hesitates before saying...
