A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I know there aren't a lot, but as long as someone keeps reading, i'll keep writing. I gotta thank Marissa for her inspiration for this chapter! Here's ch 3!


"I'll be with Adam, Amber go with Alex, Larry with Katie, Lauren with Bright, Morgan and Bruce, Cathy and Brett, Shelly and Carlo and Nikki and Matt. You don't have a boyfriend, do you Nikki?"

Nikki thought about Cam and all the stuff they had gone through, yes they were kinda together, but nothing was sure with them "No, I'm single" she said, looking at Amber. She nodded, signaling that was the right thing to say

"Awesome. I'll start first. This is kinda hard to do since none of us are couples, but we'll have to make it work. Lauren and Bright, truth or dare?"…


Cassi sighed as she slow danced with Bradin, thought she could feel Callie's gaze on her back. "This is nice Bradin" she said smiling. "I'm glad I met you."

Bradin pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear "Me too." He leaned in to kiss her but she pulled away

"I'm not ready to go there Bradin, I've only known you a couple hours, I really don't want to hook up yet" she said. She could tell he was upset.

"I get it, I think..." he said as he pulled her closer to him.

She rested her head on his chest and swayed with him until the song ended. "I should go check on them again. There's no music on, I don't trust them"

"They're 13 Cassi, what can they be doing?" he said.

Cassi laughed "You'd be surprised what I did at 13, and sadly I think Allie is following in my footsteps" she grabbed his hand and the two walked into the house.

Amber laughed "That was easy. Alright, Nikki and Matt, truth or dare?"

"Dare" Matt said definitely. Nikki rolled her eyes

"Ok, I dare you two to go act like you're drunk outside so your brother and your sister see you" Alex said

"Fine" Matt said. Nikki sighed and got up and walked over to Matt. On the way, she tripped over something, and landed right on top of him.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NIKKI!" Bradin yelled as he walked in just at that moment.

Nikki jumped off of Matt instantaneously "It's not what it looks like Brae, I swear" Nikki replied "We were just playing a game"

"You were what? Allie, you weren't playing couples truth or dare were you?" Cassi said angrily

"Wow, she knows you like a book doesn't she?" Lauren said laughing

"You just said we couldn't play truth or dare" Allie argued

"Little Sis, the last time I checked, the words TRUTH OR DARE are in the words 'couples truth or dare.' I told you that you couldn't play and you disobeyed me. Your party is over Alexea"

"That's so unfair Cass" Allie whined

"Get over it. And I suggest all of you who have brothers and sisters here go make up onehell of anexcuse why you have to leave before I go tell them" All the ones who did flooded out the doors, and those who didn't grabbed their stuff and left out the main door. "Now Allie go to your room now" Cassi said, not noticing Bradin and Nikki were still there

"You're not Mom, Cassidy!" Allie yelled "You can't tell me what to do"

"Well reality check Allie, we haven't heard from mom or dad in 4 weeks, so I'm in charge, now I said go to your room, you're so grounded. 1 week"

"You can't tell me what to do!" Allie yelled again "I don't care what you think, they're on their way home, I know it!"

"Keep telling yourself that Allie" she replied smartly, unaware of how mean she was.

Allie ran upstairs, tears streaming down her face. When she slammed her door Cassi realized how much she had hurt her feelings.

Cassi turned around to go upstairs and noticed Nikki and Bradin standing there, totally shocked, "Welcome to my life" she said and walked past them just as a stampede of people left. Obviously someone had let on that he party was over.

"Come on Nikki, we'll talk about this in the car" he said as he grabbed his sister's arm.

Nikki whimpered "Let go, you're hurting me" she whined as he pulled her out to the car

"Nikki what the hell were you thinking! First off, you're the smart one in our family, and you didn't look like you were being very smart. Secondly, what about Cameron. The two of you have gone through so much shit this year I'd think you would be more considerate of him. He wouldn't have wanted you to be on top of some random guy"

"I wasn't on top of him Brae" she started as he began to drive away "Well literally, yes, but that's only because I fell over something and I happened to land on him. I swear Bradin, truth"

Bradin looked at his sister, though she had grown up quite a bit this year, she wasn't like Amber at all "Ok Nikki, I won't tell aunt Ava. Just be careful. I don't want to have to come pick you up at 3:30 in the morning because you go into some trouble. Deal?"

"Deal" Nikki replied "thanks Brae" Bradin nodded, his eyes focused on the road ahead.


Cassi knocked on Allie's door "Al, let me in, I didn't mean to be such a bitch…Come on Al" she pushed the door open and saw her little sister lying on the bed, her head buried in the pillows. Cassi walked over to her and sat on the edge of her bed.

"I miss them so much Cass" Allie said as she cried

"I know you do Al, I do too. They'll be home soon, and even if they're not, we're doing fine just the two of us." She hugged her sister tightly

"Why do they have to keep doing this, I swear we've seen them twice in the past 3 months" Allie whined

"I don't know" Cassi replied "All I know is we're ok here, but you do have to listen to me." Allie nodded "So like I said, you're grounded, one week. We'll talk on Wednesday about possible parole" Allie nodded "I love you Al"

"I love you too Cass" Allie replied. Cassi smiled as she walked out the door. This is going to be a fun week, she thought laughing to herself
