The rest of the day passed at an average pace.  Mitchell glared at us all day.  Jake and I walked to my truck, and saw Veronica.  Here we go.

"So, what?  You're together now?" She sneered.  "If you must know, yes we are.  Not that it's any of your business."

"Prove it." Jake didn't hesitate.  He took my hat off, and dipped me.  It quickly turned into a make out session with a decent amount of tongue.

When we pulled away, Veronica looked disgusted.  "Ugh.  Whatever." She said as she stormed off.  I put my hat on and asked "Will those two ever quit?  What is their deal?" "I don't know.  But it's sure fun to retaliate." He smirked.

"Yeah it is." I replied.  Just then, I got a text from my dad.

Daddy💙: Hey, babygirl.  I know this isn't the kind of news you want to hear, but I have to leave for a couple months tomorrow morning.  I'll be in Alabama.  I know it seems like it's a big trip, but it's just a few states down.  I love you.
Sandy✝💖: I love you too, Daddy.  I'm on my way home now.

"We gotta go.  I gotta tell my dad 'Bye'." "Ok.  Let's go." We hopped in the truck, and I blared my CD again.

We got home, and daddy was loading his car.  I hugged him, and Jake shook his hand.  "I'm gonna run Jake home real quick." I said.

"Just have him pick some stuff up so that he can stay over for a while." "Ok.  Jake, you can bring your motorcycle over." I said, trying to sort everything out.

"Alright.  Let's go." I drove him home.  He told me to come in and wait while he talked to his parents and got ready.

He came into the living room with a couple bags, and said "You ready?" "Yeah.  You can put your stuff in the truck." I replied.

He put his stuff in the bed, hopped on his bike, and we both drove back to my place.

When we got there, daddy told Jake he could have his room.  Jake thanked him, and we went to bed.

~Next Morning~

We all woke up early so that I could see my dad off to the airport.  I would have taken him, but I had school.  That was until...  "What do you say we call in sick and just hang out?"

I was shocked at first.  "Ok..." Then we proceeded to do so.  "You wanna watch a movie?" I asked.

"Sure.  I don't care what you put on.  I'm not picky." (Calm down.  They didn't do anything.  Ya nasties.😂)

Naturally, I put on Monster High.  "Boo York, Boo York: A Monsterrific Musical" to be exact.  (Literally my favorite.  #CaraohForever)

I was singing every word perfectly, only Catty's parts on the duets, of course, and Jake just watched me.  I was also quoting the whole thing, causing him to shake his head and laugh.

When it ended, I took the DVD out, I saw that it was lunch time.  "Let's go out and get something to eat.  My treat." Jake said.

"Ok.  Let's go to Arby's!!!" "Truck or bike?" "Truck." "Ok.  Let's get going, then."

We got in the truck and went to Arby's.

When we got there, I got the triple thick BLT, and he just got a roast beef sandwich.  We both got Sprite to drink, and fries.

We started on our way home, and John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16 came on the radio.  I blared it and sang along.

We finally got home, and went inside.  I set the food on the table, and asked what movie he wanted to watch.  "You got Bruce Almighty?"

"I believe I do." I said as I looked through the shelves.  I found it, and put it in.

We got to the cookie scene, and were laughing so hard, we had tears in our eyes.

~Look!!  A time skip!!!!~

When the movie ended, it was starting to get Dark. (A/n: I'm Danti trash and need to stop.)

"I need to set your ringtone!!" I randomly yelled.  "Ok." "God, Your Momma, and Me by Florida Georgia Line an The Backstreet Boys."

"Sounds good." I set it, and told him to call or text me to make sure it worked.  It did.  I yawned.

"You ready for bed?  Tomorrow is Friday, after all."

I shook my head, and he went to pick me up.  "No!" I hugged my sides.  "Are you ok, Sandy?" He said, looking as terrified as I felt.

"Yeah.  I'm sorry.  I just don't like being picked up.  It's in my top five fears.  Maybe even top three."

"Ok.  Can I at least help you up?" He said, reaching out a hand for me to take.

"Yes." I replied, taking his hand and standing up.  He walked me to my room, and I sat on my bed, taking my shoes and braces off.

He turned to leave.  "Can uh- Can you stay with me tonight?  I'm not used to not having my daddy around, so I don't really want to be alone."

"Of course." "Ok.  I'm going to go change and get ready for bed." "Ok.  Do you have an extra bathroom?" "Yeah.  Down the hall."

We parted ways, and got ready for bed.  When I came back, he was sitting on my comforter.  I got under the blanket, and so did he.  I turned the light off, and cuddled up to him.

"Night, Sandy." "Night Jake." He kissed my head, and I drifted off to sleep.

~Next Day~

We woke up to Rebel Love Song by BVB.  We got ready for school.  "You should wear the boots again.  You totally rock them." "Alright." When we were finished, I grabbed my keys.  I opened the door to see Mitchell.

A/N: Please don't hate me!!!!!  I know cliffhangers suck.  Not even 1000 words, either.  😫
