Chapter Two – I don't wanna

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!", Stevie Rae screamed. "I don't wanna. No!" Her blond curls bounced with every pathetic movement the 16-years-old made. She angrily glared at her father who was standing in her room.

"It'll be fine, Stevie Rae. Kalona is a good friend of mine."

"Who cares? He's not my friend! I don't even know him! Why do I have to go to your friend's place? Why can't I stay with Z?", the girl yelled back in response. Her father's look hardened. "Because I know Zoey's family. This is no offend against your friend, Stevie Rae, I know it is not her fault but I will most certainly not let you stay with those people."

Stevie Rae didn't know what to answer. He had just offered her his honest impression of her bff's family and he had sounded very harsh. Still she couldn't give up yet. She wouldn't. Her daddy hadn't won this yet.

"Then why can't I stay here alone? I'm 16 already!"

"Are you serious?" Her daddy was giving her a look so cold she thought she felt her blood freezing. She gulped. "You, who can't cook, wash, clean, want to stay here alone? Is this a joke? You wouldn't survive more than a week, child. Know this: You might not see yourself as a kid anymore but, young lady, you are still far from being adult."

Stevie Rae gasped, She felt tears coming up to her eyes, and her anger growing impossible to be kept in. "You're ruining my summer! This is my life! How do you think your allowed to ruin it?"

Her daddy's face dropped. "I can't help it. I just can't let you stay here alone for a month. I'm sorry, Stevie Rae." Stevie Rae wanted to scream back but looking in her father's face- how he already begged her to understand- she couldn't. She was stubborn, yes, but not a bad girl. She hated it. She hated it so much but she was giving in.

"Fine. Let's leave it like that. I don't wanna go but you want me to so I will."

"Stevie Rae-", her father tried but his daughter interrupted him. "No. Not Stevie Rae. That won't make it any better. Just drop it, okay?" She gave him a fake smile. He sighed, gave her one more apologizing look and left her room. She herself sighed, too, and threw herself on her bed.

Man, this was annoying. She wished he had another option but she doubted she could find one. All her friends would be gone in the holidays and the place her daddy's friend lived wasn't even in Henrietta anymore. So she couldn't visit Zoey either, huh? Oh my, she sighed again, why me? Why does it always have to be me?

Then she would somehow have to get along with these five boys she'd have to share a house with. Great! Just great!

So, what do you say? It was a little short, I know. I hope you liked it anyways.

The next chapter will be about how Rephaim and his brothers are being told Stevie Rae will come. That chapter will be extra long and extra funny. Well, I hope you'll think it is funny.

Reviewing still doesn't hurt so: Please review! =D
