Behind his smile...

Chapter 8

Sarah's p.o.v.

"And your dad" she started.

"He... Lost his job." My mom finished.

"Oh, uh Sarah. Maybe I should go." Lilly said.

"Uh, sure, I'll text you tomorrow." I said still shocked.

"I'm gonna go upstairs." I say to my mom.

I ran to Catherine's room. She wasn't there. I ran to Alex's room. He was there.

"Alex! Where's Catherine?" I ask him.

"She's out." He said sitting on his bed.

"So, do you want to do
Something?" I ask him.

"Like what?" He asks.

"Like a movie? We ca..." I start.

"We can have a family, well the kids in the family, movie night!" Alex cuts me off.

"Sure, let's go get everyone!" I say.

Soon enough we were all sitting in the basement watching despicable me 2.

"Hey Catherine!" Josh says as Catherine joins us.

"Hey guys, did you hear the news?" She says sadly.

"Yea, that's why we're down here!" I say.

-after the movie-

"We should all go to bed, it's getting late and Rachel and Justine have already fallen asleep." Catherine says.

We all go upstairs and go to bed.

Once as I'm done getting ready for bed I look at the clock and see that it's 12:30 and Matthews outside with Carter.

I open the blinds to my window and look out making sure that they don't see me.

I can see them in Matthews backyard talking. I can't tell what they're saying though.

Now there laughing. I wish I could bear them.

I then see two figures come out ones Toby, and ones Lilly? What is she doing there?

I decide to text her.
S-Sarah
L-Lilly

S- hey! I know it's late but can we talk?

L- sure. But text me.

S- why can't we face time or call?

L- uh. It's late that's why.

S- never mind. :(

L- what? I said we could talk.

S- ok, where are you?

L- why?

S- I just want to know.

L- ok? I'm at a friends.

S- really? Who?

L- does that matter?

S- yes.

A- hey guys? Why are you texting on the group message at 1 in the morning?

S- group? Oops.

And that's the last thing I texted that night. I figured that Lilly wouldn't reply so I have up.

I couldn't sleep so I went to Catherine's room.

"Catherine? Are you awake?" I whispered.

"Now I am! What do you want?" She answered annoyed.

"Want to have a sleepover? I can't sleep." I said.

"No. Not tonight." She said while turning over in her bed.
