CAPTURE>>Why don't we

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: FRIDAY

I wake up and look at my phone flashing the date and time. It's Friday. The day my parents leave and I go behind their back.

B: oh god
I say rolling back into bed and feeling my stomach churning in guilt

I force myself to get up and get ready for school then head downstairs to find my parents packing the car with their suitcases

B: this early?
I say looking at the time, it's only 7
D: our flight is at 9
B: oh
I say fixing myself a bowl of cereal
M: I still think I should call a baby sitter...you know...just Incase
B:mom I'll be fine and I'm not a baby so therefore I don't need a baby sitter
D:she has a point love
M:okay but you're still grounded and the rules apply at all times missy
D: yes.no electronics and absolutely no friends over and you can't leave this house under no circumstances. You can read or draw- you'll find something to keep you entertained without electronics.understood?
B:yes sir
Okay. Even if say I wasn't going behind their backs today I would've still used electronics regardless-I would never go a whole weekend without electronics or TV at least. So I'm really just doing what I would have done except with 5 other people but that's not the point.
So I'm not really doing anything that bad-kind of.
M: I went to the shops yesterday and filled the cupboards with your favorite foods so no reason to get out the house to go shopping
B: thanks mom
Thanks for buying all the food for 5 people I'm hosting this weekend without your knowledge
M:okay.Be good sweetie, love you
She says giving me a hug and kiss
B: love you guys, have a safe trip and say hi to Aunt Gabbie and the baby for me
D: will do.Head to school and you come back straight after, no seeing friends after school.
B:yes dad. Don't worry about me I'll be good
I say giving him a hug and kiss
D: love you
B: you too

They leave and I head to school with Zee.

DAD'S POV:
M: I hope she'll be okay
D: don't worry love, I've got a little ace up my sleeve. You don't think I would leave my teenage girl all by herself, unsupervised and supposed to be grounded all alone right?
I say placing my hand on her thigh
M:Patrick what did you do?
D: simple. I asked Christina to keep an eye on her
M:Christina? Like Christina Marie?
Christina is a young college student who used to babysit Billie. She lives a house away from us and recently got back from college to visit her family.
D: that's right dear. She's gonna sneak up and have a look at what Billie's up to every now and then and she'll give us a call if somethings wrong
M: you're an evil genius
D:haha, thank you
M: but...don't you think we should trust her?
D: honey of course we trust her. This is just for her to keep safe
M:I suppose your right

BILLIE'S POV:
The day pretty much was the usual and after school I came straight back home, just like dad said...but I'm also kinda getting the place ready for a 6 people weekend crash while I'm grounded and without my parents knowing.Yay. I pull out the blow up mattresses, some blankets and pillows,tons of food, movies, board games and all that jazz. After my shower I slide into some knee length baggy shorts and an oversized top-I mean I'm not tryna impress anyone am I? I'd stopped wearing baggy clothes for a while because the boys and Zee made me feel better about myself so I've started wearing fitted clothes-sometimes.I still like to stay in my comfort zone. I started wearing baggy clothes ever since the whole ordeal I had when Finn died.
I always figured: by wearing baggy clothes then I can't be sexualized or body shamed.
Just as I'm brushing out my wet hair I hear the door bell ring. I fling downstairs and open the door. It's jack...alone?

B: hey noodle
Ja:hello
He didn't call me sweet cheeks or do something funny when greeting me-somethings up
B:where's everyone else?
Ja: huh?oh yeah I thought I'd come a bit earlier
