Life's What You Make It

Chapter 17

Jasmine's POV
"Shit the bed Jas! What the fuck?!" Nathan said getting in front of me.

"Why the fuck is she following me?!" I questioned, going back to the table we were sat on.

"You went apeshit girl!" Mellisa said.

"She deserved everything she got. Stupid bitch."

"You gonna tell Mrs Carter?" Jordyn asked.

"I don't know." I sighed.

"What do you mean? The cops are after her?" Nathan said.

"I know, I know. But she is still my mom. As much as I hate her, can I really turn her in like that?"

"Um yeah?" Mellisa said.

"I dunno, I'll sleep on it." I replied. We spent the rest of the evening just chilling in the park before my phone pinged.

From: Bey
Yall planning on coming back anytime soon? X

To: Bey
Yep, we'll come back now

"Jord, you ready to go?" I asked.

"I suppose." She replied.

"See yall tomorrow." We said to Nathan and Mellisa before we left the park. "Please don't say anything to Bey, about my mom."

"I gotchu, don't worry it's chill." She replied and I nodded. "You put up some fight before you know. Like I knew not to mess with you but now jeez."

"You've gotta be tough these days." I said laughing. We got back and I unlocked the door and we walked inside.

"Oh it's you." Shawn said poking his head out the kitchen door.

"Yep It's us."

"Good time?"

"Yeah, it was.. fine. Just ate and then chilled. Nothing to report." I replied.

"Sweet."

"Well, we're tired now, we'll head up. Night." I said and dragged Jordyn upstairs.

"Yeah night!" Shawn called back.

"How do you do it?" Jordyn asked, laughing.

"Do which?"

"Lie like that. I need your tips."

"Years or practice. Years of acting like everything's cool." I laughed. "Anyway, I wouldn't call it lying, I'd say it was more of a little white lie."

"Yeah, whatever." Jordyn replied. We got changed and then got in bed and watched a movie before we fell asleep, with the TV still on.

I actually slept pretty much the whole night. Yeah I had a couple of bad dreams, but not that bad where it woke me up. I only woke up hearing Jordyn snoring a bit next to me. We woke up to a knock on the door, I groaned and stretched opening my eyes. Monday mornings always the worst.

"Come on! Yall will be late!" Bey said walking in and opening the curtains.

"What time is it?" Jordyn groaned while squinting.

"8, yall have got 20 minutes." She said before leaving the room.

"Aw shit, I forgot to set my alarm."

"It would be you. Do anything to get a day off school." She said. We got up and ready for school before heading downstairs.

"Where were you last night?" Blue asked, appearing in the doorway.

"We went out for food with our friends." I replied.

"Who are your friends?"

"Alright little miss nosey, just from school." I said laughing.
