Author's Note: Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've been really busy with school, so I haven't had much time to write. What do you think of this story?

Also, I'm really happy to announce that I will be updating Season 8, and it will have a proper ending. I will most likely write all of the Chapters then post them over time.

Katy's POV

Anthony showed up early for my Sweet 16 to help set up. He turned 18 a week ago. My mom helped me get dressed up. She got me a new fall dress for today. Around noon, I walked out to the backyard. Bobby Jo, Anthony, my other school friends, and other people were waiting for me.

My daddy invited some people from his work: the Monroes, the Carpenters, and the Redfords. Mr. Redford is my dad's boss. I laughed at Mr. Redford's son, Jesse's, joke about his dad.

Angela's POV

I watched Katy laughing with her father's boss' family. I love her laugh, it's always been my favorite song. I told her that when she was younger.

I looked over at her boyfriend, Anthony, who was watching her too. He, however, did not look happy for her. He looked pretty angry. I walked over to him.

"Everything okay over here?" He didn't even look at me. He didn't say a word to me. "Hey," I said, turning him towards me. "Why are you looking at my daughter like that?"

He looked at me. I couldn't believe what he said next.

"None of your business," he said. He walked away from me.

Katy's POV

"So what school do you go to?" I asked Jesse.

"Wilmer High," he said.

"Oh nice," I said. I felt a hand on my arm and I was pulled from the group. I looked to see who it was. It was Anthony.

"What the hell, Anthony!" I said.

"We need to talk," he said.

I turned back to the group.

"Please excuse me," I said. I followed Anthony into the house. "What was that about?"

"What do you think you were doing talking to that guy?!"

"Jesse? He's my dad's boss' kid," I said. "I was just bein' friendly."

"You were bein' more than friendly," he said, accusingly.

"You're being ridiculous," I said. I started walking towards my room to get my jacket. "I just met him. He's a real nice guy. Maybe if you get to know him, you two could be friends."

"I don't want to be friends with that idiot!" He said. He was following.

"Go back outside," I said. "I'll grab my jacket and be right out." I walked into my room. "It's not like I can't be friends with a guy," I said to myself, out loud.

I heard my bedroom door close. I turned around, just in time for his fist to hit my face. I fell from the impact. I looked up at him.

"A-anthony," I said.

"You want to sleep with him, don't you?" He asked, accusingly.

"You know I'm not ready for that," I said. "And I don't even know him that well."

"I'm not good enough for you?"

"That's not what I said," I told him. "I want to wait 'til marriage, you know that."

He put out his hand for me to take, and I hesitated, but took it. His demeanor softened, and he smiled.

"Come on, birthday girl," he said. "Let's get back to your party." He touched my eye, where he hit me. "Put makeup on that, then come back outside. Sorry I hit you, you just shouldn't provoke me. I just don't want to lose you." He left my room and went outside.

I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. There was an obvious black eye forming. I took out my foundation and started covering it up.

He said he's sorry, I thought. He loves me. He's right. I shouldn't do stuff to make him mad.

I finished covering it up and went back outside.

That night my parents called me into the living room.

"What's up?"

"How is Anthony treating you, Katy Grace?" Mom asked.

"Great," I lied, thinking back to the incident earlier. "Why?"

"The way he was looking at you while you talked to the Redfords concerns your mother," dad said.

"Okay," I said.

"Why did you two come into the house?" Dad asked.

"I forgot my jacket, and he helped me find it," I said.

"Katy Grace," dad said. "I want you to be honest with me. Has that boy hurt you?"

Should I tell them? I thought. I promised I would. I shook my head to myself. No. I don't want to lose him. I provoked him. It'll never happen again.

"No, never," I lied. "I promise."

Mom studied my face.

"Okay," she said. "You can go back to your room now."

"Okay," I said. It won't happen again, I thought.

Author's Note: Do you see the similarities between Katy & Anthony's relationship and KC & Derrick's relationship?

They both were sophomores (Katy and KC) and seniors (Anthony and Derrick). They both had incidents at their birthday parties (Katy's 16th, KC's 18th). Both of them are manipulative and controlling.

What others do you see?
