Ariana was ready, and waiting for me.
"Alright, shall we?" I said.
"Yeah. I havn't been out like this in a while." She said.
"Good! It'll more fun." I told her, and we left. When we got to the mall we were both starving, so we got some food from the food court.
"So, where are you from?" I asked her.
"Originally from Boston. I had just moved to Main when I met your brother." She said.
"Oh cool. I've been here my whole life." I told her.
"I like it here. Way better then Boston or Portland." She said.

2:06 PM
Sarah said...
"Cool." I said.
"So, what stores do you want to go to?" She asked.
"I end up all over the place." I said.
She laughed. "Me too."
"So, are you and Tim going to get an apartment or something?" I asked.
"Um, I'm not sure." She said. "I need to find a job first. He wants to look at condo's."

2:49 PM
Christina said...
"Condo's? Thats cool. Any ideas where you wanna work?" I asked her.
"I don't know. I used to waitress, I just don't want a job like that with Aubry. I don't want to work nights or anything." She said.
"Well, let me know if you want me to drive you around or anything. I don't exactly do much during the summer." I said.
"Thanks. I think I may take you up on that offer." She said. We went to a bunch of stores, but didn't really find anything. I had a lot of fun getting to know her that day. I loved when she told stories about Tim. None of us had seen him for a couple years, so it was neat hearing about what he had been up too.
"Your family is so nice. My family wouldn't speak to me when the found out I was pregnant." She said.
"Oh no. Why not?" I asked. She shrugged her shoulders.
"That's why I left Aubry with Tim. I had so much trouble raising her on my own, and I wanted to go home. I had kind a breakdown, and left her with Tim. When I went back home though I realized how much I missed her, and Tim. It took me a couple weeks to track Tim down, but I'm glad I found him. I love him." She said.
"Well, I'm glad you found him. You don't have to explain yourself either. I can see why you would freak out. We should hang out more." I told her.

2:59 PM
Sarah said...
She smiled and her eyes teared up a little. "I'd like that." She said. "Gosh, your family is amazing. So welcoming."
"Thank you. We try!" I said.
We decided to go back to the house. Mom was cooking dinner. "Hey girls." She said when she saw us.
"Hey, Mom." I said.

4:11 PM
Christina said...
"Hey sweetie. Hi Ariana." She said.
"Hi. Need some help?" Ariana asked.
"Sure. If you don't mind." My mom said.
"NO! Are you kidding? Of course I don't mind." She said. Ariana and I both washed our hands then helped my mom make dinner. Tim came out a little while later with Aubry.
"Hey!" Ariana said when she saw him. He put Aubry down, and she walked over to me. I picked her up and held her.
Tim gave Ariana a big hug.
"Did you have fun? I missed you." Tim said, and kissed her cheek.
"Yes. Your sister is a blast." She said.
"MY SISTER?" He asked, looking at me.
"Shut up, NERD!" I said. Seeing them together made me think of Todd. "Hey mom, can I invite Todd over for dinner?"

6:52 PM
Sarah said...
"Of course, honey." She said.
"Yay!" I said. I ran to my bedroom to call him. He said he would be over in about fifteen minutes. I touched up my make up and fixed my hair. Then I ran back out to the kitchen to help them cook. "I'll be right back. I need to use the ladies room." Ariana said. She dried off her hands and walked away. "Mom, Ally." Tim said. We both turned around. "You are both coming with me tomorrow to get a ring." He said quietly.
We both smiled and gave him a hug. "Of course!" I said.
He laughed. "Shh." He said.

9:14 PM
Christina said...
"Where did you get the money?" My mom asked.
"Come on mom, I'm a genious. I had a lot of money stored away from my last job." He explained.
"Well, good for you. I'm all excited!" Mom said.
"I'm kind of nervous." He said.
"Don't be silly. Adriana really digs you." I told him.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah. We were able to really talk about it while we were at the mall." I told him. Tim just smiled. There was a knock at the door, and I ran to answer it.

9:26 PM
Sarah said...
I opened the door and it was Todd. I gave him a big hug. "I've missed you!" I said.
"I've missed you too." He said. He didn't look very happy.
"You okay?" I whispered.
He shrugged his shoulders.
I closed the front door. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"I was just hoping you would've called me sooner." He said.
I gave him a hug. "I know, I'm sorry." I said.
"It's okay." He said. "I was afraid that I scared you away or something after we had sex."
"No not at all." I said.
"Did you see Alex or Matt?" He asked pulling away.
"I went to a movie with Alex." I said.
"Ally." He said looking upset.
"Honey, that is all we did." I said.
"Okay." He said. I gave him a kiss. "Can I stay with you tonight?"
He smiled. "Yeah."

9:36 PM
Christina said...
He gave me another hug.
"I don't mean to get jealous. Sorry." He said.
"It's okay. It just means you like me." I told him, and kissed him.
"Get a room!" Tim said.
"Shut up! Tim, this is Todd. Todd, Tim." I introduced them.
"Nice to meet you. I'm just giving you a hard time." Tim said, holding out his hand. Todd shook it.
"Okay. Well, your dad scared the shit out of me last time I was over." Todd said. Tim started laughing
"Yeah! Thats what he is good at!" Tim said. We all walked into the kitchen.
"Hi Todd." My mom said.
"Hello." Todd told her.
"Todd, this is Ariana, and this little angel is Aubry." I said, picking her up.

9:45 PM
Sarah said...
He just looked at her and smiled.
"Isn't she cute?" I asked.
"Yeah she is." He said smiling.
Tim and Todd sat down at the table. Tim took Aubrey from me, so I could help finish up with dinner.

10:08 PM
Sarah said...
He just looked at her and smiled.
"Isn't she cute?" I asked.
"Yeah she is." He said smiling.
Tim and Todd sat down at the table. Tim took Aubrey from me, so I could help finish up with dinner.

10:08 PM
Christina said...
Tim and Todd started talking about something. I was too busy with mom and Ariana to listen to what though. When dinner was ready, I went to the Den to tell Dad and Christopher that dinner was ready. They came in a few minutes later.
"Wow. I love when we have a lot of people over!" My mom said.
"Thanks for having me." Todd said.
"Me too." Ariana said.
"Thanks for being here." Mom said.

10:20 PM
Sarah said...
"Where is your girlfriend?" Tim asked Christopher.
"I didn't know everyone had a date with them." He answered.
"Call her then." I said. "She's sweet."
He rolled his eyes. "I guess. As long as everyone promises not to embarass me." He said.
"Oh stop." I said.

10:23 PM
Christina said...
"Promise." He said.
"JUST CALL HER!" Tim said.
"Okay, okay. I'll call her to come over for dessert." He said.
"Good. Did she like her birthday presant?" My mom asked.
"Yeah." He said, blushing.
"Oh, she REALLY liked it. Nice going tiger." Tim said.
"Timothy!" Dad yelled.
"Sorry." Tim said. Him and I were both snickering.
"So, Todd. Are you and my daughter dating now?" My dad asked.
"Oh come on dad! lay off! Todd's a good guy." Tim said.

10:34 PM
Sarah said...
"Yeah I am." He answered.
"He's great, Daddy." I said puting my arm around him.
Dad nodded and smiled. "That's good." He said.
Christopher left the room and we all finished eating. He came back a few minutes later. "She's coming." He said smiling.
Mom, Ariana and I cleaned up the mess while Dad and Christopher watched TV. Tim put Aubrey to bed and took a shower. Todd sat at the kitchen table and talked to us while we cleaned up.

10:40 PM
Christina said...
My mom really liked Todd. I was amazed how charming he was being. There was a knock at the door, and I got up to answer it. It was Christophers girlfriend.
"Oh hey!" I said, "Come on in!" Christopher was right behind me. She walked in and he hugged her right away.
"Wow. Missed her?" I asked laughing.
"Shut up." Christopher said. They walked back to his room, and I went back to the kitchen.

7:42 AM
Sarah said...
"Where is she?" Mom asked.
"He took her to his room. He's probably warning her that we might act up." I said laughing.
Mom rolled her eyes. We made chocolate milkshakes and everyone sat down in the living room.
"Everyone, this is Anna." Christopher said walking out with her.
I smiled and she smiled back at me. "Hi." She said.
"There are two milkshakes on the counter for you two." Mom said.

8:21 AM
Christina said...
"Thank you." Anna said. Everyone rejoined us at the table to talk and hang out. I saw Anna was wearing the necklace I helped Christopher pick out for her.
"I like your necklace." I told her.
"Thanks! Chris gave it to me!" She said excitedly.
"Wow, go Chris!" Tim said. Christopher looked embarassed.
"So, Todd, what are you studying in school?" My dad asked.

8:31 AM
Sarah said...
"I'm not sure right now. I'm just getting the basics out of the way." He said.
"Have you spoken with your councelar?" He asked.
"Daddy, there is no reason to rush into something. Then you might end up not liking it." I said.
Dad took that as a hint and stopped dicsussing it.

Christina said...
After we ate, my mom and dad went to bed. We hung out with Tim, Ariana, Chris, and Anna for a while before Todd and I headed out to his place.
"Thanks for letting me stay with you tonight." I told him in the car on the way over.
"Of course. Like I would say no to that!" He said.
"Sorry I didn't call you sooner." I said.
"Its okay. I'm glad you invited me over tonight." He said, and put his hand on my leg.

12:55 PM
Sarah said...
I smiled. "So, what are we going to do tonight?" I asked.
"Whatever you want. You up for Tetris?" He asked.
"Always." I said.
"Okay. We'll do that then." He said.
"Sounds good to me." I said.
"Ally, have you smoked pot since that day you did with Matt?" He asked.

1:02 PM

1:17 PM
Christina said...
"What makes you ask that?" I asked him.
"Just curious, I guess." He said.
"It's a silly question to ask." I told him.
"Why won't you answer it?" He asked.
"I don't understand what brought this up!" I said.
"I just wanted to know." He said.
"Will it bother you if I have?" I asked.
"Yes." He said.
"No. I went with my brother and Tristin to buy some, but I didn't smoke." I lied.

1:44 PM
Sarah said...
He gave me a look like he didn't beleive me. "Okay." He said. "How did you end up at Paul's though?"
"Tristin's brother is friends with him." I said.
"Oh okay. I just thought it was weird." He said.

1:44 PM
Sarah said...
He gave me a look like he didn't beleive me. "Okay." He said.
I sighed. I hated lying to people.
"What?" He asked.
"Okay, so I did." I said starting to get upset.
"Ally, why?" He asked.
"I'm sorry. I won't do it again." I said.
"Yes you will." He said.
"I promise." I said.
"Do you even like me?" He asked. "Cause you don't act like you do."

1:47 PM
Christina said...
"Yes! I just don't see why I can't smoke. It's fun, it's not like I over do it." I said. He just sighed and shook his head.
"What?" I asked.
"I just wonder if you really want to be dating me." He said. I didn't say anything.
"Okay, silence after that statement is not a good sign." He said.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"For what?" He asked.
"For lying. I do want to be with you. Honestly, I thought about you a lot today." I told him.
"It doesn't seem like it." He said.
"We only just started dating." I told him.
"And I've only seen you twice, Ally. You've hung out more with Matt and Alex." He said.
"Is that why you are mad?" I asked.

1:53 PM
Sarah said...
"That is part of it." He said. "That and the fact that you smoked."
"Explain." I said.
"Alex is older, attractive and way more experienced than me. And Matt. . . he always has girls after him. I don't even trust him alone with you." He said.
"You don't know anything about Alex." I said.
"Ally, that's not the point." He said. "Plus, you said you wouldn't hang out with them."

4:08 PM
Christina said...
"When did I say that?" I asked.
"You said it. You said you wouldn't smoke either." He said. "You also lied to me about it." He said.
"I'm sorry, okay." I said.
"You don't sound very sorry." He mumbled.
"What?" I asked. He didn't say anything. We got to his place, and went right back to his room.

4:12 PM
Sarah said...
I layed on his bed. "Ally, you slept with me and started being weird." He said.
"I said I am sorry." I said.
"I know. I guess I feel like you didn't enjoy it or something. Like it scared you away." He said.
"I did enjoy it. I promise. I really did." I said.

4:15 PM
Christina said...
"I'm sorry. I guess I'm just being paranoid." He said.
"Yes you are. I really enjoyed you a lot." I told him, and gave him a hug. We both layed down on the bed.
"I had fun with your family tonight." Todd said. "Your dad didn't scare me as much this time." He said.
"Thats good! Tim kinda keeps him in line when he is around." I said, laughing.

10:16 AM
Sarah said...
He turned on the nintendo, so we could play tetris. He put the game in and we played a couple games. After that, we went to get smoothies and hung out in his bedroom talking. We talked about a lot of stuff. It was really nice. We started to get tired later on, so we layed in bed watching The Gremlins.

5:00 PM
Christina said...
I fell asleep, and woke up when he got up to turn the TV and light off.
"I'm sorry." I said, yawning.
"For what?" He asked.
"I didn't mean to fall asleep." I said. He laughed.
"It's okay. You looked tired, and peaceful, so I didn't want to wake up up." He said.
"That was sweet of you." I told him. He turned the light off, and it got really dark in his room. He banged his Knee on something trying to find his way back to bed.
"Shit!" He shouted.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Ahh! Yeah. It just smarts." He said.
"Smarts?" I asked, trying not to laugh.
"Yes. I'd always say that as a kid." He said, kind of embarassed.

10:35 PM
Sarah said...
He got in bed and layed down next to me. He turned to his side and rested his back up against mine. I fell asleep again soon after. When I woke up the next morning, he was still asleep. I turned on the TV to watch until he woke up.

12:03 AM
Christina said...
There wasn't much on, and I was getting bored. I wanted to wake him up, but I felt bad. I got up and started walking around his room, looking at stuff. He kept it pretty neat, and didn't have much of anything in it. That only kept me busy for a few minutes. I wanted to go, but I didn't want him to think I was rude or something. His phone rang, and scared me. I jumped, and knocked over a couple things on his dresser.
"Whats going on?" He mumbled, sitting up. He reached for his phone to check it.

12:30 AM
Sarah said...
He looked at it and dropped it onto the floor. He rolled over facing me. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"I think I'm gonna go home." I said.
He propped his pillows up behind him and sat up, leaning back against them. "Ally?" He asked.
"What?" I asked.
"Is this working?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Us."
"To be honest, it just feels like we're friends." I said.
"I was thinking the same thing." He said. "I don't know what to do though. . ."
I shrugged my shoulders. "I've never really been in a relationship." I said.
"Oh." He said.
"What kinds of things did you and Elsa do? Like to make it feel like you were a couple and not just friends?" I asked.
"I don't know." He said.
"The closest thing I've had to a relationship was Alex." I said.
"I know. . ." He said.
"But we just sit around playing games and stuff." I said.
"We have fun though." He said.
"Oh definatly. I know. We do have fun. Maybe I'm just use to getting together to have sex." I giggled.
He laughed. "Yeah, that's not the same." He said.
"I know. So, what do you suggest we do?" I asked. "Are we just stuck in the friend zone?"

9:06 AM
Christina said...
"I don't know. I don't think it's what you do, I think it is just how you feel about the other person. I mean, I don't know how else to explain it." He said.
"So, are we just not meant to be a couple?" I asked. Todd just shrugged. "I'm going to go home. I feel awkward here."
"Okay." Was all he said. I just left after that. When I got home Tim was in the front yard smoking a cigarette.
"Morning." He said.
"Hey." I answered.
"Whats up? How was Todd's?" He asked. I just shrugged my shoulders. "Ally?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'm not girlfriend material." I told him.
"What is THAT suposed to mean?
He asked. I explained what happened to him.

11:10 AM
Sarah said...
"That's silly." He said.
"Well, I don't know what to do." I said. "I guess I just get bored with him after a while. We'll be doing something fun that we've always done, then when we are done with that, it's like we don't know what to do."
He laughed. "You can go talk to Ariana if you want." He said.
"I'll probably just call Tristin later." I said.
"Okay." He said smiling. I went inside to my bedroom and closed the door. I turned on my radio and layed down on my bed. I giggled when Madonna came on the radio. I started to sing along to the music and it put me in a better mood. I started to sing louder and louder. I grabbed my Cubs Baseball hat and put it on, then grabbed a brush from my nightstand to pretend it was a microphone.

11:17 AM
Christina said...
My bedroom door opened.
"Dork." I heard Christopher say. I just started singing louder, and dancing around more. He started laughing.
"So, can I help you with something?" I asked.
"Yeah. Uh...I need your help with something." He said.
"Whats that?" I asked.
"Anna stayed over last night. She was going to sneak out this morning, but we both slept too long. Everyone is awake and moving around the house already.
"Oh no. Where is her car? I asked. She parked a couple houses down." He said.
"Okay. It sucks your window faces the side of the house. Here, make sure the ccast is clear, and have her sneak into my room." I told him.
"Okay. Be right back." He said. I opened my bedroom window, and peeked my head out. Tim was still standing out front by the door.
"Hey!" I said, trying not to be too loud. Tim looked around, then finally figured out it was coming from my window, and walked over.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Operation save Chris' ass. I need you to help me get Anna out of here." I told him.
"Go Chris!" Tim said, laughing. Just then Anna and Christpher both walked into my room and shut and locked my door.

11:24 AM
Sarah said...
"I'm sorry." Anna said.
Christopher helped her out the window and walked her to her car. I took a shower and went back to my room. I turned the radio on again and danced around singing in my towel. I was worn out after two songs and got dressed. I put my hair up, put some make up on and called Alex to get together. I thought about maybe calling Matt after I hooked up with Alex. I had fun hanging out with Matt and smoking. I drove to Alex's and Chris answered the door. "Hello. He's in the shower." Chris said. I went to his bedroom to wait for him to finish taking a shower.

11:32 AM
Christina said...
I got tired of waiting, so I walked into the bathroom.
"Dude, I'm in here!" Alex shouted. I tried not to laugh, and shut the door. He must of thought Chris left, because he didn't say anything else. I undressed, and then pulled the shower back.
"What the fuck!?" Alex shouted, then turned around.
"Ally? What are you doing here?" He asked me.
"I came to see you." I said, and climbed into the shower. He smiled at me, and put his arms around me. I stood on my toes, and kissed him.

11:37 AM
Christina said...
I got tired of waiting, so I walked into the bathroom.
"Dude, I'm in here!" Alex shouted. I tried not to laugh, and shut the door. He must of thought it was Chris opening the door. I undressed, and then pulled the shower back.
"What the fuck!?" Alex shouted, then turned around.
"Ally? What are you doing here?" He asked me.
"I came to see you." I said, and climbed into the shower.
"I know, you called me. I mean, what are you doing in here? In the bathroom?" He asked, smiling at me. He put his arms around me. I stood on my toes, and kissed him.

11:43 AM
Sarah said...
"This is new." He said.
"Is Alex actually nervous?" I asked giggling.
"I've never taken a shower with a women before." He said. "I don't ussually let them come in with me. . ."
"Is this not okay?" I asked as I bent over to pick up the soap.
He laughed. "I guess it's okay." He said.

11:52 AM
Christina said...
"I can go wait for you in your room if you want." I told him.
"No, thats okay. This is kind of cool." He said. I smiled and kissed him. He switched places with me so I was under the showerhead. We made out for a while before I suggested we get out. I'm not sure Alex was comfortable in there. We dried off, grabbed my clothes, and went to his room. I took my towel off, and layed down on the bed.
"Thats more like it." he said, and walked over to the bed.

12:04 PM
Sarah said...
I laughed.
"So, tell me what happen with Todd. You're obviously no longer involved." He said.
I sighed. "At least I don't think we are involved. . ." I said. "Things are just weird with us I guess."
"Sorry to hear that." He said.

4:11 PM
Christina said...
"I guess we just don't know how to act like a couple. Well, I don't at least. Maybe we weren't couple material after all." I said.
"Well, I'm thinking you laying naked in my bed confirms that." He said.
"Agreed." I sighed.
"Is something wrong?" He asked.
"I don't know. Is this kind of thing normal?" I asked him.
"Is what kind of thing normal?"
"Me coming over here to have these little trists with you?"
"I think it is." He said.
"Good. Just checking." I said, and smiled. He climbed into bed with me, and kissed me.

4:54 PM
Sarah said...
We had sex, then he had to go to the school for some meeting. I called Matt and told him I was coming over. I explained everything to him and he thought it was funny. He was on his way to a party, so he said he would just take me with him. I drove over to his place and got fixed up in his bathroom. "Don't freak out at the party." He said. "There will be crazy shit going on there." He laughed.
"I won't." I said.
"Let me know if you get uncomfortable or just feel like leaving too." He said. "Okay? Cause if you want to leave, we can."
"Okay." I said smiling.
We got in his car and drove to the party. He led me inside and down to the basement. There were a lot of people in the house. Most of them seemed out of it too. Some of them just looked drunk. We walked to a door. "My friend Ben shoots up." He told me quietly. He knocked on the door and we went into the bedroom. There were three girls laying on the bed. One was asleep. There was a guy laying on the floor playing with a cd. "Matt, what's up?" The guy said.
"Ben, this is Ally." Matt said.
"Hi, Ally." He said sitting up.
Matt closed the door and sat down on the floor. I sat down next to him. "Matt?" One of the girls asked looking at him squinting her eyes.
"What's up, Kendra?" Matt said.
She giggled and layed back down in the bed. "I'm good." Kendra said smiling.
"Ahhh this party blows." One of the girls said. She had a beer in her hand. She got up and left the room. Ben picked up bag of something and a syringe out of his desk drawer. I looked at Matt. "We can go if you want." He whispered.
"I kind of want to watch." I said. Matt laughed and put his arms around me. "Heroine?" I asked.
"Yeah." He answered quietly.
"Wow." I said staring at Ben.

4:55 PM
Christina said...
"What am I like a documentary or something?" Ben asked.
"She's new to this stuff." Matt told him.
"Well, have a seat." Ben said. Matt and I sat on the floor. Ben tied a piece of what looked like a rubber glove around his arm after he loaded the syringe.
"Do the honors?" He said to Matt, holding out his arm, and the syringe.
"Sure man." Matt said. I watched Matt inject Ben. The high was almost instant. Ben layed back, and stared at the cieling. Matt put the syringe and everything away.
"NEVER EVER let anyone else inject you. EVER. Ben only lets me because I'm a pro. I should be a nurse." Matt said, and laughed. I just smiled and kept watching Ben. He eventually sat up agian. He had this wild look in his eyes.
"So, are we ready to party then?" He asked, jumping up.

5:01 PM
Christina said...
"What am I like a documentary or something?" Ben asked.
"She's new to this stuff." Matt told him.
"Well, have a seat." Ben said.
"We are sitting Ben." Matt told him. Ben shrugged then tied a piece of what looked like a rubber glove around his arm after he loaded the syringe.
"Do the honors?" He said to Matt, holding out his arm, and the syringe.
"Sure man." Matt said. I watched Matt inject Ben. The high was almost instant. Ben layed back, and stared at the cieling. Matt put the syringe and everything away.
"NEVER EVER let anyone else inject you. EVER. Ben only lets me because I'm a pro. I should be a nurse." Matt said, and laughed. I just smiled and kept watching Ben. He eventually sat up agian. He had this wild look in his eyes.
