I felt the last tear roll down my cheek. I looked up. Dad was right by my side. "um, hi" I say. "excuse me, Miss. May I take her out?" he asks. "no!" I I stantly yell out. Other kids begin to yell out."please" I hear dad whisper. I sigh."omg! I'm going out with Roman Reigns!" I shout. Dad Chuckles. "I'm taking who ever you want" he winks."Adrian and Ryan" I say. We all get up. Ms. Hayes slides dad her number."call me!" she says chuckling. "eww" I say silently. My teacher and my dad,no! We walk out. I see Jacob. He's at his locker. I See a picture of me. It has a heart around it. I recognized it. It was from when I was 14. I had red lipstick and gave it to him in the shape of a heart.He still had it? He dropped a note. I walked over to him. I picked it up, gave it to him then kissed him. "I like you too!" I smiled. He smiled. "I wanted to give this to you" He gave me the note. I put it in my Betsy Johnson back pack. I smiled again and I was still blushing."text me?" he asks. "I um, need to tell you something" oh my gosh! I feel nausea in my stomach. "ok! I will" I exclaim. He walks away. I close His locker."you're welcome!" I say. He chuckles."thanks" I lean up against the locker. After I see he's in the room, I squel in excitement. I turn and look behind me. I completely forgot the most over protective men were right behind me. "um gonna need your phone tonight" says Adrian."Jazz, what the hell was that?". I keep my eye contact on the closed classroom doors."just a friend,dad" I say."didn't look like 'just a friend'" says Ryan. I open the door. We all walk out. Why are they so overprotective? I wish mom and dad had another kid. It'd be just my luck, if I get a little brother. We all get in the car. "so on Friday. I want you to speak the truth about what that bitch Seth Rollins said about you!" I look at my brothers.Did you tell him? I mouth to them. No they mouth back."dad, I can't go" I say. He stops the car, then looks back at me."what? why?!" He asks. "I'm scared. To go alone." I feel weird for saying that. This was the girl who just kissed a boy in front of the most over protective people ever. I sound so stupid. I feel stupid. I wanted to grow up, but I was still simply just a kid. "I'm sorry, dad" I said. My breathing became heavy. What was happening. Why was this happening? "are you ok,jazz?" asked dad. I shook my head 'yes'. "well I won't push you into doing it." I looked at my brothers. please. Ryan sighs."I'll go with you,jazz" I smile. "me too"Adrian says sounding defeated. "Anyway, about that guy, in the hall way, I don't want you hanging out with him." says dad. I raise my eyebrow. He sees."problem?" he asks. I will not back down, I repeat over and over. I nod."dad, he's my friend. He likes me and I like him. You can't keep us apart" I say standing my ground. I should do this more often. I liked it"I can keep you apart. I'm your dad, I tell you what to do, not the other way around. And until you get your own house, you can't see him!" He says."dad, that's so unfair. You can't keep me away from him. We sit by each other in two classes. Why don't you want me to be happy?" I ask with the same amount of force."I'm changing your schedule and Ryan and Adrian are going to watch you for the whole day" he shouts."Dad why do you treat me like this? I'm not a kid anymore. I'm not changing my schedule!" He looks at me."Yes you are. I don't want you talking to him, do you understand me?" I roll my eyes."I understand that you don't want me to be happy" "Happy?! Not to bring you down, but you're never happy in life!" I tangle my hair."dad, will you just listen to me, your daughter, I love Jacob and you can't stop me from seeing him!" I feel my heart racing. I look at my brothers. They probably feel so awkward. "Adrian, Ryan, go with Jazz tomorrow to change her schedule" he says. He can't do this. It's my life."dad-" I say."no! go with her to change it" I roll my eyes."I hate you" I say quietly to myself.

I finish up my homework. I wish I had my phone. Adrian gave it to dad. I watched Sponge Bob. You're never too old for SB! I hear a knock on the door."What?" I ask a bit rudely. Who cares. Dad was being rude."can we come in?" I hear Adrian say. We? Who is we? "Depends. Who is we?" they take a while to answer. "me, Ryan and dad" I roll my eyes at the name 'dad'. This was the same dad, who wanted me to switch classes all because of a boy? This is the same dad who doesn't let me have my freedom? Oh no! Of course you may...not come in. "fine" I sigh. They open the door."where's mom?" I ask."out" replies dad. "Look I'm sorry;I only want what's best for you!" he says. What's best for me?! I shake my head."No you don't! you want what's best for you! You don't care about me at all." "yes I do" I laugh. "dad, if you cared about me, if you did, I wouldn't have to change me schedule. If you cared about me, you'd treat me better! If you really cared about me, you'd let me date Jacob because he asked me out!" I think I just gave away a bit too much information. "He asked you out?!" yells dad. I stay quiet and watch the last five minutes of SB. Dad turns off the tv. "um, I was watching that!" I say. The phone rings. Dad goes to answer. "guys" I say."I need help!" Adrian looks around the room. I roll my eyes."Ryan?" he looks at me. "I'll try" he says giving in. "dude,no don't help her. its her battle" says Adrian."he's helping me because he's the better brother!" I say. "whatever" says Adrian. I roll my eyes."kids we gotta go. your mom was a car crash" my whole world fell. I felt my heart drop to my stomach. I was scared, and for the first time today, I didn't need help from anyone; Just God.
