Chapter 3

"Yo. Greg. Can Jesse and I sleep over your house tonight?" Chris asked. "Yea. Sure. I don't care." Greg answered. "Yea. Joanna and I can sleep over Sarah's house." Anecia said. "Oh wait. Maybe I should sleep over Sarah's house and all you know she is my cousin." Chris smiled at Anecia. "How about we all sleep at Sarah's house!" Jesse said wanting to be with Joanna. "Ok. I'll call her." Chris said as he took out his cell.

Mrs. Trousdale: Hello
Chris: Hey it's Chris is Sarah there?
Mrs. Trousdale: Sure hold on.
Sarah: Hi
Chris: Hey. We were all wondering if we can sleep over your house.
Sarah: Who's all?
Chris: Me, Anecia, Jesse, Joanna, and Greg…
Sarah: Ok sure.
Chris: If I didn't say Greg you would've said no.
Sarah: No I wouldn't
Chris: Yea. Sure.
Sarah: CHRIS I DON'T LIKE GREG OK!
Chris: Yea. Whatever. You probably LOVE him!
Sarah: Shut-up
Chris: Damn.. what's wrong with you.
Sarah: Aunt Helena hasn't told you yet?
Chris: Told me what?
Sarah: Nothing.
Chris: Ok well bye.

"What did she say?" Greg asked. "We can sleep at her house" " cool." Joanna said. "Anecia what's wrong with Sarah?" Chris whispered. "Nothing." Anecia lied. "I'm her cousin if it's really important then you need to tell me!" Chris exclaimed. "Chris I'll explain it to you later." Anecia responded. "Hey this is my favorite song!" Jesse exclaimed to the song "It Happens Every Time" "DUH! Jesse you sing the song." Joanna laughed. "Still it's the best song in the world because I sing it!" Jesse answered. Jesse started to sing along to the song. "Jesse if you're going to sing then we should roll up the windows." Chris insulted. "HEY F.Y.I. IM A GOOD SINGER!" Jesse yelled. "Yea. One that sounds like a girl." Chris mouthed. "I'm not the one who needs therapy." Jesse answered. "WHAT!? Me need therapy I think you're mistaken." Chris replied. "STOP! THIS IS MY CAR! NO FIGHTING ACTUALLY NO MORE TALKING!" Greg yelled. "What's wrong with Greg." Joanna said. Chris finally realized how much Greg liked Sarah. It was making him upset that Sarah left the dance. "Maybe Greg thinks Sarah hates him." Chris thought. Greg pulled up at Sarah's house. Greg got out of the car as fast as he could. And slammed the car door. He quickly rang the doorbell.

"Hello. I'll get Sarah." Mrs. Trousdale said. "Hi." Sarah answered. "Sarah I need to talk to you." Greg replied. "Ok." Sarah said as she welcomed him into the house. All of them were having fun pigging out on pizza. "You know what would be cool." Chris said. "If they put Peanut Butter as a topping for pizza!" Jesse exclaimed. "No, it would be cool. If they put those little umbrella things on pizza." Chris said. "That would just be messed up!" Joanna said. "Hey at least im not the one who likes peanut butter boy." Chris teased. "You know I could be the PB And Jam Superhero it would be kind of cool wouldn't it!?" Jesse asked. "Whatever." Anecia said. Sarah didn't touch her food. (A/N: If you're thinking she's anorexic shez not!) "Sarah are you going to eat that?" Chris asked. "Go ahead have it." Sarah said as she gave Chris her pizza slice. "What's wrong?" Greg asked as he took a bite of his pizza then put his arm around her. "Nothing I'm just sleepy." Sarah said as she started to fall asleep on his arm. "Come on Joanna let's go somewhere where we can talk." Jesse said as he led Joanna to the dining room. "So…."Anecia continued. "So… everybody is somewhere else." Chris said. "Yea." Anecia replied. Chris kissed Anecia on the forehead. "Are you tired?" Chris asked. "Yeah very." Anecia yawned. They fell asleep on the couch together. Jesse and Joanna ended up falling asleep too. Everybody was asleep except for Greg. He was thinking about Sarah. He brushed her hair with his fingers. Then Sarah awoke. "Greg what's wrong?" She asked. "I can't sleep." Greg said. "Oh." Sarah said as she placed her hand on his arm. She enjoyed the warmth of Greg's body. Greg hugged Sarah tightly. "I love you." Greg said. "I never thought I would say this to anybody but I love you too." Sarah said. "Night." Greg replied. "Yup." Sarah said. Greg and Sarah both fell asleep a little bit after.

Jesse woke up first out of the 6 of them. "Joanna wake-up!" Jesse said as he sweetly kissed her. "I'm awake!" Joanna replied. "Ok good." Jesse answered. "So what are we going to do now?" Joanna asked. "Sleep." Jesse replied. "WHAT!? Then why'd you wake me up?" Joanna asked. Jesse didn't reply he already fell asleep. "Jesse." Joanna nodded her head as she tried to fall back asleep.

"DAMN!" Sarah yelled as she awoke. "What's wrong?" Greg asked. "My parents there coming home TODAY!" Sarah replied. "So…" Greg continued. "So! If my mom sees me here with you. Ill be grounded for LIFE!" Sarah answered. "Hmm… Jesse and I can hide." Greg said. "Ok." Sarah answered. Greg tried to wake-up Jesse. "He's not waking up!" Greg yelled. "Hmm…" Sarah said as she thought. "Hold on… I know what will work. JESSE JOANNA IS WAITING FOR YOU AND SHE HAS PEANUT BUTTER!" Chris yelled. "Huh? Joanna and Peanut butter?" Jesse immediately woke-up. "Uh-huh." Anecia said. "Jesse you have to hide with Greg in the closet or something." Sarah said as she pushed Jesse towards the closet. "Why!?" Jesse asked. "Because I'm going to be in big trouble if my parents find out that you and Greg slept over here!" Sarah exclaimed. Okay. Jeez…" Jesse answered as Greg and him walked to the closet to hide. "Hey why doesn't CHRIS HAVE TO HIDE!?" Greg asked. "Because they know that I can't risk having my spikes damaged!" Chris said as he brushed off some dust from his jacket. "NO! He's my cousin. Plus he was suppose to sleep over here anyways." Sarah replied. "Oh damn! My mom. If she finds out that Joanna and Anecia were here! Then well… I'll be grounded till I'm 68!" Chris said. "Good point." Sarah answered. "No Way!!!! I'm getting out!!!! If I'm going to have to hide I'd rather hide with Sarah!!!!" Greg said as he got out of the closet. "Fine then… Anecia, Joanna, and Jesse hide in the closet. Greg you can hide under the couch okay?" Sarah asked. "Ok." Greg replied. "Hurry up. Aunt Susan and my mom are pulling up to the drive-way!" Chris panicked. Everybody got in there places.

They doorknob slowly turned. Chris breathed louder and louder. "Chris cool down!" Sarah complained. "Cool down?" Aunt Helena asked. "Nothing mom." Chris said to his mom. "Ok." Aunt Helen replied. "Sarah and Chris are you two hungry? If you are you two can order some pizza." Susan (Sarah's mom) said. "Mmm…. Pizza." Greg whispered from under the couch. "Uh…who was that?" Susan asked. "That was me Aunt Susan! I'm really hungry!" Chris said as he rubbed his stomach. "I didn't realize you were so hungry." Aunt Helena (Chris's mom) said. "You know we didn't get anything to eat today…" Sarah backed Chris up. "Wow why is the peanut butter jar empty. I just bought it this morning." Susan said as she opened the cupboard. "Oops!" Jesse said from the closet. "Who was that?" Aunt Helena asked. "Um… That was me! I ate all the peanut butter!" Sarah smiled. "But Sarah you don't eat peanut butter." Susan commented. "Well you know both of us were really hungry." Chris replied. "Ok then who ate all the microwavable pizzas?" Susan asked. "Hah. That was me! I was hungry!" Chris exclaimed. "Jeez! You two practically raided the fridge!" Aunt Helena said as she opened the fridge. "Uh-huh! You know us were always hungry!" Sarah said. Aunt Helena and Susan laughed. "What's going on?" Susan asked. "Nothing." Sarah and Chris lied. "I know….Hold on " Aunt Helena said as she took out a new jar of peanut butter.

"Mmm…. Peanut butter! It's delicious!" Aunt Helena smiled as she opened the peanut butter jar. The closet door surprisingly opened as Jesse, Joanna, and Anecia fell down to the ground. "Where's the peanut butter!?" Jesse asked. "I knew it." Aunt Helena said as she gave Jesse the peanut butter. "So what are you three doing here?" Susan asked. "Um.. Mrs. Trousdale we were just visiting Sarah you know to help her with her homework." Anecia said. "Ok." Susan believed what Anecia said! Greg was still under the couch. "Hey Sarah can I come out now!?" Greg yelled. "What there's another surprising guest?" Aunt Helena asked. "Uh-huh… His name is Greg." Sarah said shocked as she saw the reaction to her mom's face. Chris noticed that his Aunt Susan was planning a long grounding. "Yea, uh he's my best friend!" Chris said as he slapped his arm onto Greg's back. "Dude, chill… you don't have to fake it anymore that we came here to see the girls." Greg said not noticing that Susan and Helena were there. "Greg!" Sarah answered. Greg turned around to see Susan and Helena, "Oh. Hi! Yes, I'm Chris's best bud! We came here to work on our projects." Greg said as he smiled. "Uh-huh." Helena said as she nodded her head. "You're not believing this are you?" Chris asked. "Nope." Helena answered. "Except for the part where Greg said that they came here to see the girls." Susan replied. "How long am I grounded?" Jesse made a puppy face. "Jesse we'll have to talk to your parents about that!" Helena said knowing that Jesse's mom Ginger would ground Jesse for at least a week. "Mom, I'm really sorry." Sarah said softly. "No! Sarah you know that you're not suppose to be going out with anybody until you're 18!" Susan said. "MOM! You know that I won't be here by then!" Sarah said as a few tears rolled down her cheeks she ran quickly up to her room.

Greg quickly ran upstairs after Sarah. "Can I come in?" Greg asked as he knocked on the door. "Go ahead." Sarah replied. "What was that all about?" Greg asked. "Nothing." Sarah answered. "Oh." Greg said. "I just want to be alone right now I'm sorry Greg." Sarah said softly. "Ok. Well then I'll call you later ok?" Greg said as he kissed her on the cheek and left. Susan followed after Greg left. "I'm sorry Sarah. It's just that I always forget." Susan her mother answered. "It's ok. But I'm really enjoying my time with Greg. And you said I could choose what I want to do with my remaining time." Sarah whispered. "Yes, I know. But how well do you know him?" Susan asked. "Well enough mom. I love him." Sarah replied. "You're only 15 though. You wouldn't know what it means." Susan said. "Yeah, but I care about him." Sarah replied. Susan left.
