Jessie

I was walking to Jackie's house. The rain was really pouring down now, as the wind was fierce. I passed some lizards, worms, and other small animals before getting to her house. At this point I was sopping wet (get your mind out of the gutter). I knocked on her door, Jackie's dad answering.

"Who are you?" He asked me.

"I'm Jackie's friend, Jessie. She left her umbrella at the park," I told him. He grunted and moved aside so I could get in.

"JACKIE! YOUR FRIEND IS HERE!" He shouted, Jackie walking down the stairs. When she saw me, her eyes widened. I swear I saw her blush, but she quickly snatched her umbrella from my hand and ran back upstairs. She didn't even put it in a closet or anything.

I looked behind her dad. I saw Jackie's mom sitting on a chair. She was... lighting a cigarette? Oh shoot, if I breathe in the smoke am I second-hand smoking? I quickly exited their house, immediately getting punched by a million raindrops.

Why did I wear shorts today? I was shivering and I hadn't even gotten off of her driveway. Then, someone grabbed my arm and dragged me back inside. I looked at who it was. Jackie.

Jackie

I grabbed Jessie's arm and ran back inside, picking up a towel. I gave it to her to dry off. She dried her hair off.

"Why'd you pull me back inside?"

"You could've died from hypothermia!" I told her. "Call your mom and tell her you're staying over here for the night." She got her phone out and called her mom. I went upstairs and Jessie followed me. We went to my room.

"So... what now?" She asked, sitting on my bed.

"I don't know... wanna get Jamie over h-"

"NO! I mean- no thanks," she interrupted. Jessie looked over at the tv I had in my room. "Wanna watch tv?" She asked. I nodded, grabbing the remote and sitting next to her. I turned on a movie.

As the movie went on, I could feel Jessie's hand getting closer to mine. Right as she was gonna put her hand on top of mine, my bedroom door slammed open, our hands automatically going up. It was my mom. She was angry until she looked at Jessie for a glimpse second.

"Oh, you have one of your friends over!" She said, putting on a fake smile. "Well, I'll leave you to it!" My mom said, closing my door. Then she slammed open the door again, staring at Jessie.

"What?" Jessie asked, fidgeting with her hands. My mom's jaw dropped.

"IS THAT A N[censored]?!" She shouted. Our jaws dropped. Jessie's eyes were wide.

"M-mom!" I managed to get out.

"WHAT? IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON A FARM!" Jessie flinched from being called 'it'. I stood up.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled at her. I was taken aback by my own words. Jessie quickly grabbed one of my jackets and climbed out the window. I knew what was gonna happen now. My dad came up to my room while my mom left. He pulled out a belt. Not again...
