Cody was silent, just watching the tv for next hour. It wasn't really awkward, seeing as we were each doing our own things. I heard the door open and close. Mine and Cody's moms had just got home. I set my laptop down and went to them, seeing if they needed help with anything.
"Hey, honey! Could you put Autumn in her crib, please?" My mom asked. I took my sleeping sister, went upstairs and laid her down in her crib, throwing her special blanket on top of her. I hurried back downstairs and grabbed a snack. I had been starving ever since Simpson poured the mustard on my head.
"So, how did you get along with Cody?" My mom asked. I had half a mind to yell about everything that happened, but knowing I would get in trouble, I stopped myself from doing so.
"Fine." I replied.
"Just fine?" My mom asked.
"Mom, we got along." I lied.
"Great!" Angie said. "Now, could you please get him? It's time for us to leave."
Finally.
I went back into the tv room and stood in the doorway, crossing my arms.
"Simpson, you're leaving." I said. He looked at me and got up. He walked over to me, but didn't go past me. "What?" I asked.
"No hug?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow. "C'mon." he urged.
"If I do, will you leave?" I asked. He nodded. I gave him a quick hug. He smiled and walked past me.

I walked to the front door where I found my mom. She said bye to Christie and opened the door, but before I shut it, I yelled back into the house.
"Bye, Davis!"
"Goodbye Simpson." She called back. I smirked, shutting the door.
"So, do you like Antoinette?" My mom asked. I had a mini heart attack, even though I knew what she meant.
"We got along fine." I answered. We drove back to the hotel, which really only took a minute. As soon as we got to our room, I jumped onto my be and flipped the tv on. True Life was on MTV and I settled for that. I thought about what had happened during the day, not really focusing on the tv. The mustard, the kiss. Her boyfriend. I was definitely jealous, although I didn't really want to be. I couldn't get her out of my mind, no matter how hard I tried. How could it be that I've only known of her existence for one day, yet it seemed like I had liked her for months. I tried to stop myself from thinking by watching a basketball game. It worked until I fell asleep…
I woke up to my mom's alarm clock. It was 8 in the morning. Usually, I would've wanted to go back to sleep, but not today. I had a dream about Tawni. You know, how in Deathly Hallows Part 1 Ron opened up the horcrux necklace and an imaginary Harry and Hermione were talking to him and then they started making out and they were naked? Well, it was kinda like that… Except we had clothes on. I'm not that sex crazed. I tried to shake the dream out of my head, hoping it would be one of those dreams you slowly forgot.
"Cody, are you awake?" My mom asked from her bed.
"Yeah, mom." I answered.
"Good, cause I have something to tell you…"

"WHAT?" I yelled. My mom had just told me that Cody had to stay in our guest room for the rest of the summer. "WHY?"
"Honey, while we were out shopping, Angie got a call from her boss. She needs to go work in New York for the rest of the summer, so I offered to keep Cody here until she was able to bring him home."
I let out a small groan.
"I thought you guys got along!" My mom said.
"Yeah, we got along, that doesn't mean that I want him 24/7."
"Well, I'm doing a favor for a friend." My mom said. "Now, get dressed. They're coming in a half an hour." I ran up stairs and threw a t-shirt and cuffed shorts on. I side French-braided my hair and lied down in my bed staring at the ceiling. Cody Robert Simpson was going to be living here for more than two months. Well, that's just fantastic.
