I Can't Go Back To The Way It Used To Be

10

I wake up at 6:00 am, and started my shower. I get my clothes out on the bed and walk to Devon's room.

"Wake up, we have school." I said shaking him.

"We don't go to school." He said tiredly while sitting up.

"What?" I asked sitting on his bed.

"We're famous so we can't go to school baby girl." He said chuckling at me.

"Oh , I totally forgot." I said. "Well I'll go back in my room now." I walked out until he pulled me back.

"How about you get some more sleep, then we can head out and I'll give you a tour around L.A. and probably introduce you too some of my other friends, don't worry they're cool." He offered.

"Uh, that'll be cool." I smiled heading back into my room. I plopped on my bed and knocked out after 5 minutes of watching TV.

Jacob Pov.

I was cuddling with Alexis, until I got a phone call. It was one of my friends that lives here in Cali, that I met last year.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey wassup man?" Devon asked.

"Hey Devon, wassup?" I asked.

"Nothing, my stepfather's daughter came in yesterday from Atlanta, and I wanted to know if you want to come over to meet her." He asked.

"Sorry man, I'm helping with the baby. Maybe another time okay?" I answered.

Everyone is coming to Cali I see.

"It's cool man, don't sweat it, I understand. I'll talk to you later though." He sighed.

"Alright man, later." I said.

"Who was that?" Alexis asked.

"Oh it was my friend. He asked me to meet his stepsister or whatever but I turned him down." I answered.

"Why, you've been stuck here all week helping me, go take a break and hang with your friends." She said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yea babe." She said smiling. I kissed her and grabbed my phone and went into my room. I dialed Devon's number and he answered.

"Yea?" He asked.

"Nevermind, I'm free." I said.

"Okay, come to my house in like 2 hours. He said.

"Okay later." I said and hung up.

Why do I have this feeling that I shouldn't go.

Oh well.

Alana Pov.

I woke up at 12:00 and just laid there until I got a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I said. Then my dad walked in.

"Hey princess." He said sitting on the edge of my bed.

"Hey daddy." I said sitting up.

"Nothing just wanted to talk to you." He said.

"Okay, what's up?" I asked.

"Do you like Jennifer?" He asked.

"What do you mean? Yea I like her, but I just don't look at her like a mother." I answered, truthfully.

I have to much respect for my mom to call another woman mom. You just don't use that word so loosely, with anybody. Even your stepmom.
