Not That Big of a Diffrence

Limang

We went inside after I hugged everyone and thanked them for doing this for me. I was kind of nervous to introduce Jack to my parents but he insisted.

"Hey Ma, Dad, this is Jack,"

"Your new boyfriend!" My mom finished for me. Wow, I did not see this coming...

"Its nice to meet you Mrs Garcia." He politely said, shaking my moms hand, then my dads. My dad called out my sister and cousin.

"Isa, my sister, Jack. My cousin Brandon, Jack. " I intoruced them. I talked about then all the time but Jack never met them to put a face to the name. Jack stayed for dinner and my family got to know him and like him just as I did.

"I wish you could stay." I told him as we sat on my porch I'm the dark. Once the taxi got here, he would go back on tour.

"Tour is almost over, and I promise I will visit for at least a week." He stuck out his pinky and I smiled knowing he was still my best friend, not only my boyfriend. We just sat there in silence for about five minutes before the Taxi got here and he had to go. He hugged me one last time and walked to the taxi.

"He was so nice. I'm glad your dating. We approve." My dad nodded and hugged me before I went to bed. I still had school tomorrow.

The next day, I got back from practice tired and sore. "Hey Darla."

"Hey Jack" I sighed

"What's wrong?"

"I am so tired and sore. We had to run ten 150's. And school was horrible as always "

"School is never horrible for you, what happened?" He knew me too well.

"You know how Bryan likes me. Well today, all the girls were pressuring me to go talk to him because they were convinced I liked him back. But I didn't. Then at lunch I learned that Nadia and Yukari were pushing him to ask me out. And he did. And I felt so bad to tell him no. You should have seen the look on his face. Then the girls got mad at me. I yelled at them because they were being selfish and so now half of them are mad at me."

"Why didn't you tell them we were dating?"

"Because I didn't want some nosey listening in and tweeting it or something and then for it to spread as a rumor and we hadn't talked about telling your fans about us. So i don't want to tell everyone and make you mad"

"Alright, I would have been okay with you telling your friends but you're right. I think we should wait a little telling my fans. But you can tell your friends. If you trust them I trust them." I smiled. I have a great boyfriend. "Oh and by the way, tell that Bryan boy that you are my Darla." I laughed, he always knew what to say. We did what we do everynight until my mom came bursting in.

"Lillith Lucero Garcia! Get off the phone with that boy this instant." She yelled

"What why?"

"I'll text you later okay?"

"No you won't. Goodbye Jack." My mom slammed my computer shut

"Mom! What was that about?!?"

"Get into the living room this instant" great, she was mad. That much was obvious, but why.

I cautiously walked to the living room where my dad sat on the couch looking really disappointed. "Liz, did you know that Jack was eighteen? He's been lying to us, to you."

"He has not been lying. I knew he was eighteen. You didn't ask him how old he was yesterday, when were we suppose to tell you!?"

"You cant see him anymore. You are not allowed to date an eighteen year old!"

"Why not? Moni married Miguel and he's like ten years older than her!"

"That's different! Your fifteen!"

"How is that different. Its only three years! I trust Jack. Why don't you. Oh wait, you did last night. His age has nothing to do with the way he acts."

"Yes it does. He is a teen with raging hormones. You have no idea what he might do to you."

"Exactly... Might. And he can't do anything, I only see him through a computer screen which you broke! And I'm a teen too, does that mean I shouldn't be trusted? You loved him!!"

"That was before we found out he was three years older than you!"

"Dad say somthing!" Nothing. "Great! Thanks a lot you guys. I don't know what you guys want me to do, but I am going to my room. Goodnight." I rolled my eyes and stomped to my room. My sister was sat at her desk, eyes watery.

"What's wrong Ise?"

"That was scary." She whispered. I sighed

"Its alright, nothing happened. It was just an argument. Okay?" She nodded and I climbed my ladder. I put my head phones on and blasted my music.

Is everything alright?

I got a text from Jack

They found out you were eighteen

Were we hiding that?

No, but they think we were, and they don't want us together

Are we going to listen to them?

What do you think?

My bad girl Darla!

Shuddup. I'm just upset. They wouldn't care if you were fifteen.why does age have to matter?!?

It doesn't

For us, but for them?

Dont worry. When you both calm down, talk it out. Tell me what happens tomorrow. Text me whenever okay?

Okay. Goodnight.

Goodnight My Darla. Xx
