(Downstairs, only a few minutes later.)

"Is she getting settled upstairs?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah. She is really shy though isn't she?" Martin stated.

"Don't let her fool you, just give her time and she will return to her normal self. It's just this is hard for her seeing as how we moved out my ex- husband's Jake's house. Then being separated from her step brother, Cole. All she wants to do is to live with her father and in his house ,but I just thinks she wants to feel like she doesn't have to be moving around all the time, and the idea of a regular father. Hopefully you will become that stable father she needs in her life." Nicole sighed.

"I cant' even imagine have tough it is on her being moved from place to place and not having a father. She is a wonderful girl, don't sell yourself short on that." Martin said as he kissed Nicole.

( It's know dark outside.)

I decided to come out of my room, that I locked myself in for hours. I was really angry know, and I wanted to just go out and be with friends, but of course they were twenty miles in the other direction.

( Downstairs.)

"Mom, can I go outside just in the front yard for awhile?" I asked.

Martin answered instead of Mom. "There is a football and a basketball in the garage if that helps."

"Sure, thanks." I said walking out the front door.

(In The Garage.)

Hum.....What to do? There was a football, not to much fun to play by yourself though. Lets give the basketball ago. Of course needs air. Oh well those front steps look comfy. I just sat down with my head slumped into my arms. Then out of nowhere this cute guy showed up.

"Do you live here, I mean I never seen you here before. Hi, my name is Jordan." said the boy, who was stumbling over his words.

( The boy sits down.)

"I am Lauren. Yeah just moved in with my soon most likely to be step father. He is pretty cool though."

"That is good then. Look I am having a few people over at my house tonight we are going to swim and stuff it would be a great way to meet new people. Just tell them my name is Jordan Lockheart, your parents should let you come. Mr. Barringer knows my father. I will come bye at nine or so and see if you can come." He said leaveing.

"That would be great." I smiled for the first time here.

( In the house.)

"Hey Mom, Martin, is any one here?"

"Yeah in the living room." Martin answered.

"Can I go to a party tonight at Jordan Lockheart's house? He is having a few people over."

"I know the parents they always supervise the parties." Martin said.

"Lauren, no, not tonight it is the first night in the house. I would really liked it if you stayed here tonight." Mom said softly.

"Mom!"

"Lauren, no."

"AHHHH! I hate you." I screamed.

I ran upstairs almost slammed my door, god I hated that women. I bet if I lived with my dad he would have let me go....
