The Complication of Boys

Chapter 24 - Movies, Cookies and a Date?

"Are sure you don't want me to come over for a Girl's Night in"Nicole says on the other line.

"Yes I am sure, tell Jenna no need to worry"I said.

"Are you okay"Nicole asks.

"It's not like Daniel and I broke up"I said simply.

"Okay bye"Nicole says sheepishly then ending the call.

Today was not really a good day to be all sad since it's Winter break and it's Friday.I have the whole house to myself since my mom , dad, Chantal is working and Melanie is with our mom since it's"Take Your Child to Work Today".I would've gone but I wasn't mood and I didn't want to wake up so early.

I check my phone for the time.I have alot of messages mostly from Daniel and James.I turned off my phone and left it on top of my bed.I didn't want to remind myself of what happened yesterday at Daniel's house but it kept haunting me.

I didn't want the tears to come back so I kept distrating myself since I woke up.It was already time for lunch and I have finish all the homework I have to do over the break.I put on my glasses and went downstairs.

I went into the kitchen and was in the mood for some cookies so I got out the cookie dough. I quickly cut it into circular shapes and put it on the buttery pan.I preheated the oven and came to realize that I should watch a movie.

I went into the living room and picked my favorite romantic movie on Netflix of all time "The Notebook".Even though I watched this a million times, I cry everytime.I quickly setted it up and went back to my the kitchen to put the cookies in the oven.Today was going to be a really lazy day.

I dropped myself on to the couch and took a deep sigh.I pressed play on the remote and let the waited for the introduction to start.I felt a little chilly so I went through the closet downstairs looking for a blanket but there was none.I got fed up because I had to go upstairs to get one so I got a light blue fluffy one that feels like cotton balls. I put the blanket on top of the couch and went to check on my cookies since the timer was beeping.

I could already smell the chocolate coming from the oven.I took it out of the oven and let it cool.I went in the fridge and took out the gallon of milk to pour it out in a glass cup.I put back the milk in the fridge and then I had that feeling again.

I just remembered about Daniel and the conversation we had last night.I felt like the conversation lasted forever when really it was like 10 minutes. He held me in his arms like it was his own life.I would stay there forever but I just walked away instead.I didn't think I did the right thing of walking away but then if I didn't, he would've broken up with Lacey and I didn't want that either. I quickly shook away my thoughts as I heard the doorbell rang.I rolled my eyes because I didn't want no company right now.I look like a total mess.I am acting like Daniel and I just broke when really it was all my fault.

I walked to the door and opened it but there was no one there.I looked around and then realized there was a gift basket on the floor.I picked it up and walked back into my house, shutting the door.

I put the gift basket on top of the kitchen counter. I searched for tge tag and it read:

Heard what happened from Daniel.Don't worry he feels as terrible as you .However, I think you should suck it up and bring you beautiful face to my party tonight.8 o'clock sharp.Hope to see you there-James

I smiled at this.This was something that actually made me smile and kind of cheered me up but there was no way I am going to that party.I wasn't in that party mood and I didn't want to use beer as a replacement for Daniel. It will just make me emotional but on the other side it would actually be fun to just let loose.I thought about it for a moment and decided not to go.There is nothing that would get me out of this house.
