Safe [punk l.t.]

Chapter 19

Jess' P.O.V

I hope that kiss is enough to keep Louis quiet for a while. I can already feel the tension before I walk into the living room. I'm in big trouble.

"Jessica Rose where have you been?" My mom asked angrily.

"Out with friends."

"Out with friends?! Is that your excuse?" My dad interjects.

"Mom. Dad. I'm almost 18!" I exclaim.

"Almost 18! You have no authority to be drinking underage!" My mom shrieks.

"What?" I try to act dumb.

"A call. From the Krubs. There was a house party they claimed seeing you and this boy with." Mom deadpans.

Of course, the neighbors always give me away.

"I forbid you from seeing any boy we don't personally approve of or know," dad declares.

"But dad, Louis' a decent boy!" I find myself defending him.

"Lewis might be nice and all but I can't trust this boy, whoever he is. He's just manipulating you!" Dad retorts.

I sigh in defeat. They end up putting me under house arrest but I have other plans. I just have to see if Louis' in or not.
