This chapter is so bad but I don't have enough time to edit it.

Phoebe's POV

The next day, I got up early again. Instead of dancing around the kitchen, where Jasmine could see me, I put on my tennis shoes and went out for a run.

I put on my headphones and hit shuffle on my music. Helpless started.

Oooooo

I do I do I do I do

HEY

I lip-synced while running. Suddenly I got a FaceTime call.

I checked to see who it was.

Meghan

I quickly answered. Meghan was the only person who could make me open up. She was my only friend who wasn't a dark, gothic girl. I really wasn't one either.

"Hey Meg!" I said, brushing some hair out of my face.

"Hey Pheebs! How Florida?"

"Good!" I said. "Um, I have to tell you something."

I sat down on a bench while Meg looked at me expectantly.

"You know who Anthony Ramos is right?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.

"OF COURSE I KNOW THE HUMAN CINNAMON ROLL!!!! Why do you ask?"  She yelled. I smiled.

"He's my cousin." I laughed as Meg screamed.

"HOW HAVE YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS!?!?!" She asked. I shrugged.

"Oh another thing, he's here in Florida and he brought his girlfriend." I added. Meg gasped.

"JASMINE CEPHAS JONES IS MY IDOL!!!" She yelled. I laughed again.

"Get me an autograph." She said.

"Fine." I replied.

"So what are you doing right now?" Meg asked as she sat down on her couch.

"I'm out for a run."

"Music?" She asked.

"Hamilton. Obviously." I answered. She laughed.

"Song?"

"Helpless."

"HEPLPLEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!" She screeched, purposely making her voice crack. I laughed loudly.

"Ok Meg. I have to leave or my family will be up when I get back."

"See you!" She said. I hung up. When I stood, I noticed a person staring at me. A person I really did not feel like seeing right now.

Jasmine's POV

I woke up early again the next day. I attempted to get up but two strong arms that were wrapped around my waist held me down. I tried to get out but Ant pulled me closer to him. He kissed the back of my head.

"Ant let go!" I whined. He chuckled as I attempted to squirm from his grip. After a couple of minutes he released me. I kissed Ant on the cheek and bounded into the bathroom while he pulled out his phone.

"I'm going for a run!" I said while tying my shoes.

"Ok! Bye Jas! I love you!" He shouted.

"Love you!" I said back.

I had only been running for a few minutes when I saw Phoebe running the other way. She had her headphones in and was lip-syncing to something. I turned to follow her.

"Hey Meg!" She said to her phone in a way that was much too happy for her usual gothic self.

"Hey Pheebs! How's Florida?" A person said through the screen.

"Good!" She said, almost like a normal teenage girl. "Um, I have to tell you something." She sat down on a bench. I stood about five feet behind.

"You know who Anthony Ramos is right?" Phoebe asked. I smiled at the thought of my boyfriend.

"OF COURSE I KNOW THE HUMAN CINNAMON ROLL!!" The voice yelled. I silently laughed. "Why do you ask?"

"He's my cousin." Phoebe said. An excited scream came from the phone. I continued to giggle.

"HOW HAVE YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS?!?!?!" The voice screamed. By then I had fallen on the ground with laughter.

"Oh another thing, he's here in Florida and he brought his girlfriend." I stopped laughing and straightened up at the mention of my name. The person on the phone gasped.

"JASMINE CEPHAS JONES IS MY IDOL!!!" The girl yelled. I felt a sudden happiness. I'm her idol?

"Get me an autograph." The voice said. Aw she wants my autograph?

Phoebe and her friend talked for a while before she hung up. I ran in front of her so she saw me.

"You're a normal teenage girl!" I exclaimed. Her face turned bright red.

"Fine." She said. She patted the spot next to her on the bench. I sat down.

"When I moved to New York from California, I was normal." She started.

"Everyone in my new class was super gothic. I had to do this..." She motioned to her clothes. "To fit in."  I looked at her sympathetically.

"And who was that girl that you were talking to on phone?" I asked.

"That's my friend Meghan. She was my friend in California and she moved to New York a year after me. She didn't change like I did and she's the only person who knows who I really am." There were tears in her eyes.

I wrapped her in a hug and she cried into my shoulder. A few minutes later she pulled away.

"Sorry." She sniffed. I rubbed her back, comfortingly.

"There's nothing to be sorry about." She smiled slightly at me.

"Um... would you mind not telling anyone about this?" Phoebe asked.

"Well I tell Ant pretty much everything so..." she sighed.

"Fine you can tell Anthony but no one else." I smiled.

"Ok. Come on. Let's go." Phoebe finished her run with me and we both went to our rooms.

"How was your run?" Ant asked as I got up to our room.

"Interesting." I responded. I plopped down on the bed next to him and told him about my talk with Phoebe.

"Aww poor girl." He said when I was done. I nodded.

I took a shower, changed clothes, and walked with Ant downstairs.

Phoebe smiled slightly at me when I came down but quickly turned back to her "normal" scowling self. Ant ran off to talk to his cousin. He and Phoebe were gone for a few minutes before they came back.

"We talked about the thing." He said as he slid his arm around my waist.

"Good." I said. Ant turned to me. He got closer and closer. I was preparing to kiss him when I got a sudden idea.

I brushed my lips on his and spun around, singing a note from Say No To This. (The note after "That's when I began to pray. Lord show me how to say no to this. I don't know how to say no to this. But my god she looks so helpless. And her body's saying hell yes." Just so you know what note I'm talking about here.)

"JAS!!!" Ant whined. I laughed and walked up to Nina. Ant followed me.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me out the front door.

"What is-" I was cut off by Ant smashing his lips into mine. It was a few moments before I could kiss back.

A couple minutes later we split apart.

"You just had to, didn't you?" I asked playfully. He laughed and we walked back inside.

"Uncle Anthony and Aunty Jazzy are gonna take you to the beach okay?" Steph said to Kate, John, April, Ann, and Alex. Ant glared at her while the kids looked at us happily.

We spent the rest of the day babysitting Ant's nieces and nephews.

That was a really crappy ending to a really crappy chapter. Thanks for reading it. Thanks especially to voters and commenters.

Same question: Would you like me to continue the vacation chapters? Be honest.

Character you have most in common with.

I'm probably a Hercules Mulligan because I'm so hyper.

Look at the dancing cinnamon roll.

Have a great day!
