"You want me to go to a dance?" I said, raising an eyebrow at Josie.

"Not just any dance, it's a decade dance." Josie says and I frowned as I looked up at her from her bed.

"And how is that any better of an explanation?"

"It's going to be fun."

"Jo, you do realise I was locked up for basically an eternity and the last thing I want to do is revisit a decade I wasn't even in."

"You were here in the 80's, weren't you?" Josie says and I give her a deadpanned look.

"I was on the run, from my family. Did you think I was going to make a pit stop at a rave?" I said, pursing my lips and she gives me a look.

"Since when did you become the Debby Downer?"

"It's nothing."

"It's obviously something. You've been quiet since we took the demon out of Lizzie's body."

"I'm fine Jo." I said, throwing myself back onto her bed.

"Then why are you so quiet?" She asked hovering over my face and I give her a straight face.

"I'm just planning your death, figuring out which is easier. Acid or pigs." I said, and she rolls her eyes.

"You can be so dramatic sometimes." She says, looking through her closet. I looked to the bed beside me wondering where the blonde one was considering it's been 10 minutes since she's complained about something.

"Where's the other half of you?"

"I don't know, I woke up this morning and she was gone."

"Did she tell you why or where she's going?"

"No, why would she?"

"Jo, we literally exorcized a demon out of her last night. Aren't you the slightest bit worried on where she is?" I said, and she looks at me.

"You just need to worry about all that black magic you took. You passed out longer than us but other than that nothing happened." Josie says looking at me and I looked at her.

"And look at that, I'm fine. Fresh as a daisy. I mean if we're really going to this stupid dance, I may as well go find something to wear." I said, taking Josie's mind off the subject from before and she looks at me.

"So, you're coming?!" She asked excitedly and I chuckle.

"Debating but it looks like it could be fun." I said, she squeals jumping up and down making me roll my eyes.

"Okay, okay, you can go into town and look for something while I get ready for tonight."

"Jo, it's 10am. What the hell could you possibly be getting ready for?"

"If you have to know, I'm thinking of taking Landon and I's relationship to the next level." Josie says and my jaw drops.

"Woah, you-you mean, you realise this isn't a video game where the next level is the easiest." I said, looking at her and she sits next to me.

"I know, but I think I'm ready and I really do like him. What was it like for you?" She asked and I go to think but I couldn't remember making me frown.

"I don't remember my first time."

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and probably why I don't remember is my brain telling me it's not worth it." I said, and I looked at her, "Just give me one reason on why you think you're ready? What's special about him?"

"He makes me feel safe and sane. When I see him my stomach drops but in a good way, and I really, really like him." Josie says and I smiled.

"Well that Hobbit must be doing something right. I'm happy for the both of you." I said, and Josie smiles.

"Thanks Charm." She says hugging me and I chuckled.

"I'll catch you later." I said, walking out of the room and I get to the dining room seeing that everyone was setting up. I spotted Landon with Rafael talking and I walked over, both boys turning their heads as they see me.

"Boys."

"Hey." They both said.

"Are you coming tonight?" Rafael asked making me look at him, with a small smile.

"Curly's girlfriend is the cause of me going." I said, nodding my head at Landon who looks at me offended.

"I'm standing right here." Landon says and I chuckled.

"I'm going to grab something to wear and hopefully don't get chopped off at the knees by either of the twins." I said, making the boys laugh, "I'll see you both tonight."

===

I was walking around the shops trying to find something to wear tonight, it deemed harder to choose what I was going to wear. I was looking on my phone, trying to see what to wear and what was acceptable.

"We always seem to be bumping into each other." I hear and I look up to see Ethan making me chuckle.

"You always seem to be everywhere." I said, raising an eyebrow.

"It's a gift, think of me as your personal angel." Ethan says and I chuckled. He had no idea.

"Unless my angel can help me with what to wear to a decade dance, then I'll accept the stalking." I said, making him chuckle.

"What decade is it? For the dance?"

"The 80's. I don't want to go as disco because literally everyone at school will be in the same thing."

"Then don't." He says and I give him a look.

"You have shitty advice." I said, making him laugh and I joined him, "But thanks to you, I think I will just go as one of the Heathers."

"See I came in handy."

"If giving shitty advice is your go to thing, I wonder how you're going to do in the real world." I said, smiling a little.

"What are you doing after this?"

"Why?"

"Well you see, seeing as I've helped you so much and this is probably our fifth encounter." He says but I cut him off.

"It's actually our fourth, but who's counting?" I said, smirking a little and he smirks.

"We could go to the Mystic Grill and grab food, you know as your angel I need to make sure you're safe." He says and I let out a little snicker before looking at him.

"Are you asking me out?"

"When you put it like that, then yes, I am." Ethan says, nodding his head making me chuckle.

"As tempting as that offer is, I'm going to have to say no. I have to help set up the school for the dance I'm going too."

"And I don't get an invite?" He asked jokingly hurt and I chuckled.

"Oh I would invite you, but you know us troubled rich kids wouldn't want you to get mixed up in it." I said, and he smiles nodding, "But you could give me your number, just in case I get bored or anything."

"You read my mind." He says making me chuckle. We exchanged phones, typing in our numbers before handing the phones back, I see the time and I looked at Ethan.

"That's my cue, I'll catch you around." I said, smiling before walking off.
