A couple of hours went by and I had no idea. I was having too much fun. I got a text from Jake saying, "let's go, I got shit to do." I told him Jay could just take me home, but he was not having that. He got out of his car and walked up to the front door. Before he could walk in, without knocking might I add, I opened the door. He looked pissed. 

"You're coming with me." He grabbed my arm. 

I pulled away and said no. I still have my project to work on. 

"You're telling me, your project is more important than me?"

I was scared, but nodded. I didn't know what he was going to do. 

"I'll stay with you. Make sure you stay out of trouble." He walked past me. 

I can't believe he's gonna be hovering over me like a disappointed mom. Sally and I went up to her room and awkwardly started to work on the project. We couldn't talk about anything but the project. IT WAS SO AWKWARD! Like come on, get a life that isn't mine. Of course I could never say that to him.

"I wish our world was black and white." I blurted out. 

"But don't you like having your own style and friends?"

Jake cleared his throat.

Sally rolled her eyes, "and boyfriend."

I shrugged, "having to pick an outfit every day is exhausting and having my friends is like having no friends; However, I love my boyfriend."

Jake couldn't see my face, I looked at Sally like I wanted to die. She giggled a little. Jake wanted to know what she was laughing about, she just said a joke from earlier. Thank god for Sally, she's a life saver. I know she doesn't like or trust Jake, but she sure as hell knows how to get him off my back. 

"I think you're done for the day." Jake said confidently.

I turned around and looked at him, ready to flip out, but when I saw the look in his eyes, I backed off. It was like "I'm going to hurt you if you try anything." So, I didn't. Sally watched us as we left, with worriness in her eyes. 

"Wait! Since tomorrow is my birthday party, Lainey should sleep over and help me get ready." Sally shouted. 

Jake and I both turned around. He was pissed, but let me sleepover. I'll be dealing with it tomorrow. Hopefully he doesn't make a scene at the party. I just want to have a nice day with my friend, Sally. Wait... Did I just say "friend"? I guess she is my friend. I never really had a real 1.
