Hi everyone...I started this chapter a while ago and got about 5 paragraphs into it when my PC
froze so I said, "I'm not in the mood to start over." so i didn't. until now. And then, about my
spelling. I know it's an on going problem with me. And i'm sorry. Just to explain, I don't have
spell check. This program is the only one that has the .txt. thingy so i have to use it. It's
really primitive. All you do it type. No fonts no sizes no nothing. It's weird. well this is boring
so I'm gonna write now. well as it should say on my profile, Wit a hug and a kiss I'm out like dis!
lol

Chapter 5 (already?!)

"Val! Hey Val!" Tyler shouted to the blonde hair swaying down the hall. With Monique tucked securely
under his arm, Tyler ran up to Val.
"Huh?" Val spun around and smiled at Monique. She pulled her away from Tyler and rocked the plastic
baby in her arms.
"They got her back." Tyler stated. Val nodded.
"How?"
"I didn't ask. I didn't see police following them so I think they did okay."
"Yeah." Val nodded again and both were enclosed in an awkward silence.
"Uhh.." Tyler said nervously. Val looked up from her white shoes.
"Yeah?" She asked hopefully. Val winced inwardly. She sounded like a desperate loser.
"Never mind." Tyler answered quickly, not really knowing what he was going to say. He was just
trying to save the dying conversation.
"Well, Tyler.." Val began, clearing her throat, "I was wondering-well my parents are going out tonight
and Brooke has soccer and I thought, if you wanted, you could come over for a while. To watch
Monique with me." Val spit out quickly. Tyler smiled. He pulled his slipping books up to chest.
"Sure. What time?" Val smiled. She couldn't believe she was practically asking Tyler on a date. Val
shook her head.
"6, if that's okay."
"I'll be there." Tyler waved to Val. As soon as she turned, he dashed down the hall, jumping up and
down.


"Tyler! You're here!" Val greeted as she swung open the door.
"Hey! Uh, everybody gone?" Tyler looked around Val's living room. Nice place, he thought.
"Oh yeah, they left. 10 minutes ago. So..." Val sat down and Tyler followed. Another silence engulfed
the room..until the familiar electronic screams filled the house. Both jumped up.
Val led the way to her bedroom. She scooped up Monique and plopped on her bed. Tyler sat next to her
about and inch away.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked, sounding like all guys when it came to babies or girls.
"I think she was lonely." Val said. She looked at Tyler and smiled. He smiled back. Their gazes
met. Val knew what was coming. Tyler moved his face closer to hers and WHAM! Their lips were
locked in a kiss. Tyler could taste Val's lipgloss and smell her shampoo. Another wail pulled the
two apart. Val stood up abruptly. Tyler did too.
"Maybe I should go." He said quickly.
"Uh-huh." Val answered, pretending to be busy with Monique. Tyler opened the front door and stepped
out. He grinned. Meanwhile, Val fell back on her bed, smiling a little too wide.


*It took me forever to write 5 paragraphs. How sad. Been busy, ya know. Well next will be J/C and
I may have some plans. I'll work it out."
