Our Messed up Fairytale

First Little Something

Rosie Howard

That night after the movie Jake and Damon insisted we ride home with them. So like good dates, I got in the front while Jake drove and Damon and Hiedy got in the back. I couldn't help but stare out the window. It was weird to sit in the car with all of them. Who knows what Hiedy's doing. But I couldn't see her and didn't plan on looking back.

When we got to my house, Jake got out of the car and opened my door. We walked quietly to the front door. I was messing with my keys when he spoke.

"I had fun tonight."

"Yeah. Me too. It was great."

"So would you like to go to diner with me?"

"Without Damon and Hiedy?"

"Yeah. Is that a problem?"

"No no no, that's perfect. I would love too."

"Great. So I'll pick you tomorrow at 7." he said it more of an answer than a question.

"Ok." I could feel that I had a big smile on my face.

Before I could do anything else, he reached down pulled my chin up and kissed me! It was nice and warm. It was comforting. But it didn't last long. He pulled away and we said our goodnights. He started started for his car and I went inside. When I was closing the door, i realized Damon was already in the front seat. Where was Hiedy?

I tip toed to the back door and went to my "room". When I entered the room, Hiedy was on the bed. frozen.
