Nicole had just gotten home from Jeff's. Jessica was waiting for her.
"Hey Jess." Nicole said starting to go up the stairs.
"Nicole come in here now." Jessica said angrily.
"Let me take a shower first."
"Now!"
"What's your problem?" She asked going and sitting down in couch next to her.
"Matt called." "He said he walked in on you and Jeff and it looked like you were about to have sex."
"No we weren't."
"Were you on his bed with him?"
"Yeah." "We were just making out."
"Would it have gone farther if Matt hadn't walked in?"
"No."
"I don't believe you." "I'm telling mom."
"You're gonna narc on me to mom?"
"I don't want you to end up pregnant." "Jeff is to old for you." "Obviously you don't have the best judgment when you're around him."
"Whatever Jessica." She went upstairs.
Later that night Jeff was having dinner with Matt and his dad. They were all at the kitchen table.
"Jeff car keys." His dad Gilbert said.
"What?" Jeff asked.
"Matt told he caught you and your girlfriend in your bed today."
"Nothing happened."
"It was going to." Matt said. "Otherwise you wouldn't have had your hand where you had it."
"Shut up."
"Jeff give me your car keys now." Gilbert said.
"No I didn't do anything."
"You're telling me you weren't on the bed with Nicole today?"
"I was but it's not what it looked like."
"Yeah that's why your hand was up her shirt right?" Matt said.
"Shut up Matt!" Jeff yelled.
"Jeff if you don't give me your car keys right now, you're not allowed to see Nicole anymore." Gilbert said.
"Fine." He took them out of his back pocket and slammed them up on the table.
"You can have them back next week."
Jeff looked at Matt. "Asshole."
The next day Nicole got up for the first day of school. Her mom Emily had said nothing to her so she knew Jessica was bluffing. Nicole and Jeff had the same lunch period. She was sitting outside at a table waiting for Jeff. He came up to the table and sat down next to her.
"Hey." She said.
"Hi." They kissed. "How's your first day going?"
"Good." "Except thanks to Matt I have to walk to school for the next week."
"Why?"
"Matt told my dad he saw us yesterday." "My dad took my car keys."
"He told Jessica to."
"He did?"
"Yeah and Jessica threatened to tell our mom but she didn't." "Everyone thinks we were gonna have sex."
"I know." "We weren't."
"I know." "Even if we did I know to be careful, I mean if we ever do think about having sex."
"I know."
"I'd make sure it was something we both wanted first."
"I'm sure we'd both want to."
Later that night Nicole was in her room.
"Nicole come down here." Emily said. Nicole went downstairs. She and Emily were alone.
"What?"
"What were you doing with Jeff on his bed yesterday?"
"Nothing."
"Jessica said that Matt said he walked in on you two about to have sex."
"That's not true."
"You weren't on Jeff's bed with him?"
"I was but we weren't gonna have sex, we were just making out."
"You're not allowed to see him anymore."
"What?!" "No!" She said shocked.
"I wanted to look passed the age different but I can't anymore." "He's to old for you."
"Dad's three years older then you."
"I was sixteen when I started dating your dad." "It's different."
"I love him." "You can't do this."
"You're only thirteen Nicole." "You don't know anything about love."
"I do so." "Love is when you'll do anything for someone and they'll do anything for you." "When you love someone they're the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about before you go to sleep." "Please don't make me do this."
"I'm sorry." "Until you break up with him you're grounded." "I mean nothing." "No hanging out with your friends, no ring announcing, nothing." "Just school and home. Nicole went upstairs.
The next day at school Nicole found Jeff waiting for her outside for lunch.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi." She said sadly.
"What's wrong?"
"I have to break up with you." She said with tears in her eyes.
"What?"
"Jessica told my mom." "My mom said I'm not allowed to see you anymore." "I don't want to do this." "I don't have a choice."
"Don't do this."
"I have to." "I'm sorry Jeff." She said with tears streaming down her cheeks. "I-I I gotta go."
"Nicole." She walked away.
Jeff went and found Matt.
"Thanks big mouth." Jeff said.
"What?"
"You told Jessica what you saw and Jessica told her mom." "Now I'm not a loud to see Nicole anymore." "I hope you're happy." He walked away.
