Then

Akasha's POV

There's a knock on the front door and I yell to my parents. "I've got the door." Running down the stairs I rush to door and throw it open, revealing me best friend and boyfriend Bodie Ramirez.

He's one of the hottest guys I've ever met.

He has blonde hair that's spiked up, blue eyes that look similar to the ocean and a tan from the amount of time he spends out-doors. Two dimples show up on the side of his face and his eyes lighten when he sees me. "Hey, Kash. Would you join me outside for a minute?"

"Sure," I step outside and on the grass are bunch of candles and written with them is 'PROM?'

Bodie looks me in the eyes and says. "Will you go to prom with me, Kash?"

"Yes, Bodie. I'd love to go with you." He lifts me up and swings me around a couple of times. "Thanks, for saying you'd come with me. I was afraid you'd say no as you're usually not the fan of going to these types of things."

He's right. I'm not a fan of going to school events, but this year I thought I'd try something I haven't done and that's going to Prom.

The only events at the school I go to is the football games because Bodie is on the team. He's one of the best players and he's even got a scholarship to one of the best Universities in the country.

I will be following him to that school as I was accepted too. We are going to rent a place close to campus for a couple of years and then get married after Graduation. Well, that's the plan anyway.

Bodie puts me back on the ground. "I better get home before my parents worry." He walks across the lawn and in into the house next door.

I step into mine and head up to my bedroom. Pulling out my journal I sit at the table and write in it.

Dear Journal,
                Tonight Bodie came over to ask me to Prom. He put together a bunch of candles and lit them. He arranged it and made the word 'Prom?' with it. It was a beautiful gesture to do it that way and I told him "yes."

I'm a lucky girl to have been asked to go with the love of my life. I don't see myself being with anyone, but him. We have our future planned together and nothing is going to derail it happening.

There's a knock on my bedroom door. "Honey, dinner is ready." Mom calls through the door.

"Okay," I hear her footsteps as she walks away from the room.

I'll have to write in it later.

My stomach rumbles. Closing the journal I put it under my pillow and walk down the stairs. Joining my family for dinner.

Elijah, Joan, Garrett and Britney are sitting at the table with Dad.

Dad places the newspaper on the table. "Are we ready to eat now?"

"Yes," Mom says, putting down the plate that holds the baked dinner on it.

Dad carves the meat and then gives a couple slices to each of us. He places his hand on top of mine. "I see things are becoming more serious between Bodie and you. Are you using protection?"

Joan and Britney's interest in peaked and they wait for me to answer Dad. When I don't they tell Dad that I'm still a virgin and that he doesn't have to worry about me being sexually active.

That's the last thing I wanted to discuss with my father, but they like to share gossip around and they did that by telling him.

Looking at them I say. "How do you?"

Joan starts playing with her hair and then she mumbles. "We went through your journal. Plus, we've seen the pads you go through each month, which tells us everything we need to know."

FML. I don't want them knowing all this personal shit about me. Maybe, I should write a make up one to get them off my trail.

"Stay out of room." I grit, through my teeth.

Britney laughs. "No, we have every right to be in there. Especially, since you like to use most of our stuff. We need it back after you borrow it, but you leave it in your room."

It still doesn't mean they have the right to search my room.

During dinner my phone goes off and everyone checks there's. Thinking it was them.

Elijah turns his attention to me. "Was that, Bodie?"

I don't look at my phone. "I don't know who it was. You do know I have other friends than Bodie that can text me." looking at my parents I say. "Can I use the car tonight?"

"No," Britney says. "I was going to use it."

Dad looks between us. "Akasha, you can use my car. Britney, take your Mom's."

"Dad, I like your car better. Why do I have to take Mom's?" she begins to whine and it gets on my nerves. "Take Dad's car, Britney." She stands up and grabs the keys from Dad. Then she walks out the door.

Mom hands the keys to me. "Fill up the car while you're out. I don't want to drive to work on an empty tank."

"Okay,"

"Darcy, out of our children she's the one that always has the car filled up. You should talk to Britney and Joan about that."

Mom's face fills with rage before she reigns it in. "Fine, you're right. I should be telling that to Britney, but we both know she hates taking my car out for that reason. She'd prefer to drive around and come home spot on her curfew."

Standing up I take my dishes to the sink and put it in the dishwasher. I start doing the dishes and then I head out the front door. Opening up the message I see it from Kelsey.

Kelsey: What are you doing tonight? Branden and a few guys are coming over. Do you want to come?

Me: Hey, Kels. Sorry, I have other plans. I have news I need to tell you tomorrow at school.

Kelsey: Juicy, can't wait to hear it.

Britney is leaning against Dad's car and he boyfriend is standing in front of her and they're making out

Great, I have to get her to move the car.

Climbing into Mom's car I beep the horn, gaining her attention. "Move the car, Brit."

"No," she continues to kiss him. "Can't you tell I'm busy?"

"Britney, I'm not going to tell you again. Move the god damn car."

She sighs. "Fine, when you get home we're going to finish this."

"Whatever you say, princess." Everyone in the house treats her like one, but I don't think she deserves to be treated as such.

She's the devil's spawn and it's going to reveal itself soon enough. I just hope some of her friends are there to see it.

Britney jumps in the car and moves it out of the way. She pushes the door open and tells her boyfriend to get it.

I reverse the car out of the driveway. As I pass my sister I yell. "Hope you use condoms tonight. We don't need another devil spawn in the world."

She flips me off and I laugh.

I love the relationship I have with my sister.
