Jacksons Pov

I'm now in the car, driving home. I'm absolutely beat from teaching high schoolers all day. All that's on my mind is getting in the shower and taking my ass to sleep. "Let's see what's on the radio." I muttered to myself. I pressed the big button and it came on. The song. My mind immediately went into shock. "The song" I whispered. I turned it up very high and let all the lyrics sync in.

"This group is a genius." I thought to myself. His lyrics had so much meaning to it. After being hooked on this song, I started thinking of Anastasia... For some fucking reason. Her voice really shocked me. I didn't know her voice was that good. She looked in a way shy, but she couldn't have been. "That's not what your really thinking about Mike." My inner voice taunted. "Your thinking about Anastasia, not her voice, not her talent... Just her." I shook my head at the thought. There is no way I could have these thoughts about my student. "I have a girlfriend." I repeated numerous times. Her name is Stephanie. "But you want Anastasia, now don't you Michael?" I groaned that I couldn't escape these thoughts.

I finally pulled up in my drive way and parked the car. I made my way into the house and was greeted by pet dog, melika. I pet her and led her to the kitchen to get some food. After she was fed, I threw off my shoes and plopped on my couch.

"What a day." I said while rubbing my face. "How is she doing this to me, I just fucking met her?" My thoughts traveled back to the topic of Anastasia. The way her skin complimented her eyes. The way her curls adorned her figure. Don't even let me start with that figure of hers. Her hourglass figure circled around my thoughts. She was... In my eyes... Perfection. I snapped back into reality when my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket and answered the phone.

"Hey babe" I heard Stephanie's voice through the phone. I smiled. "Hey" she began more of the conversation. "So are we still up for tonight?" She questioned. I gave a confused look that she could not see, but I guess she got it when I didn't reply. "Michael." She wined. I silently sighed. "Steph, I'm so sorry, I'm just so tired of teaching high schoolers all day I prom-" she cut me off. "Mike, it's fine, I understand." I sighed in relief. "Thanks Steph, talk to you tomorrow?" I asked her. "Of course, bye Mike." With that she hung up.

I raised from the couch and went to the kitchen. I quickly prepared something quick to eat because I wasn't really all that hungry. After I finished dinner, I made my way up stairs and stripped myself out of my clothing. I entered in the shower and moaned as the hot water hit my back. After about 15 minutes, I brushed my teeth, and went to bed.

Anastasia Pov

After getting home from a log day of school, I heard Miguel's music all the way from downstairs. I chuckled and headed to his room. I knocked softly on the door and he didn't hear. I banged on the door and still... Nothing. I barged open the door to see him lost in his music, while he was doing homework. I paused the music and he averted his attention to me. "Hey Ana." He replied nonchalantly. "Well hello to you to." I smirked. He didn't seem to be in the talking mood and I frowned. "Is everything okay?" I asked him. He gave me a small nod. I decided to change the subject. "So what do you want for your birthday? considering it's only 2 weeks away." He shook his head and replied. "There's no way you can help with what I want." I entered his room slowly and approached his bed. "Hey" I started. I gently grabbed his face and made him look at me. "It's about mom, isn't it?" He nodded. I pulled him into a small hug. "Miguel, I'm sorry that I have no control over who our mom is." He started to sob in my shirt and I let him do just that. "One day Miguel, one day we're going to meet her... I promise." He pulled away and nodded. "Can I just be alone right now?" I nodded. "Okay, I'll catch you later." Before exiting his room he called me.

"Ana!" I turned to look at him. "Thanks." I smiled wide. "Your welcome.. Mig." He attempted to throw his pillow at me but I quickly closed the door knowing that he hated it when I called him that. Once I went back downstairs to start dinner my dad was already in the kitchen, on the phone. He seemed really upset with the person and hung up as soon as he saw me. He gave me a warm smile. "Hello darling, how was school today?" He asked while embracing me in a hug. "It was good." He nodded. "Listen, Mig is still thinking about "mom!" I said using air quotation marks. My father sighed. "Ana, you know that I love you and your brother very much, I don't talk to you guys about your mother because... Well... She's done many things that she shouldn't be proud of, that included putting both you and Mig in danger."

My heart drop. The woman that carried both me and my brother in her womb would put us in danger. My dad looked at my worrisome face and tried to comfort me. "Ana, I'm sorry but, I just, I don't want you guys to meet her because... She's not good for you." I nodded in understanding. "I understand daddy." He smiled and rubbed my cheek. "That's my girl, how about I order us some Chinese.. Yeah?" I giggled and nodded. He smiled and retrieved  the menus as I went upstairs.

Upstairs, I showered and changed into my pajamas. While I was pulling my hair in a ponytail, my phone got a notification. Text message. It was this.
"Hey what you doin" -Z. I smiled and replied. "Nothing about to go eat w/ my family." Our conversation lasted about an hour until I was called downstairs. "I gotta go, see you tomorrow." He replied instantly. "iight see you later beautiful." I dropped my phone. 'He thinks I'm beautiful?" I asked myself repeatedly until I went downstairs.
