It's the day before New Year's Eve and we were finally going back home! Well…our NEW home anyways. It was hard being away from Benny. But we made it through, and I'm coming home.
On the cab ride home, I talked to Benny. I told him I wasn't far from the house. He said he'd be waiting on the front steps of his house. I thought he was kidding, but when the cab got close to our house, I looked out the window to see if Benny really was waiting on his steps. And sure enough, while it was snowing and freezing cold, in only jeans and a jacket, he was sitting there waiting.
Mom looked out too. "Why is Benny out there with only a jacket? It's freezing out!" she asked as the car stopped. I got out and ran towards him, squealing, "BENNYYYYY!" I wrapped my arms around his neck as he picked me up and spun me around in a circle.
He put me down but continued to hug me. "I missed you." He said as he put a bit of my hair behind my ear. I smiled. "I missed you too." Benny helped me get my stuff to the house. "So how are things down in Iowa?" he asked. I nodded. "Good. Cierra has a boyfriend now." He looked kinda worried. "Is he good looking?" I thought about it for a sec. "He's decent looking." I said. Then I smiled sweetly. "But he's not you." Benny smiled that sexy half smile that some guys do.
Just then, Jane and Ariana burst through the front door and came running towards me. "JADE!" They screamed. I hugged Ariana then Jane. "Hey guys! How are you?" "Good." They replied. "How're Ethan and Sarah?" Jane rolled her eyes. "She's all he'll talk about! And Benny wouldn't stop going on and on about how much he missed you." Benny blushed. I just laughed and shook my head.
"Well, I'm back now so you won't have to hear him babbling nonstop. But I can't say the same thing about Ethan though." Sarah and Ethan poked their heads in. "I thought I heard a familiar voice!" Sarah said. "Hey!" I said and gave her and Ethan hugs. "So, have you and Benny performed your song in class yet?" she asked.
I shook my head. "No, not yet. Mrs. Jackson had some unexplainable emergency she had to deal with. She didn't tell us what though." "Oh…well, I hope you perform it soon 'cause I've still haven't heard you sing yet."
I smiled and so did Benny. He nodded. "She's good." He looked at me. "REALLY good." I smiled even bigger. "Well you're not too bad yourself." I replied as I took some stuff into my room. They all helped me unpack.
