I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in the longest time! I just never got around to it, but as you can see I finally have my 14th chapter *claps* yay! So read along and be glad! =D

Chapter 14

"And then he kissed me!" I finished telling the story to Karen. She squealed in excitement for me.

"Laurie that's great! I knew you liked him!" Karen stated in an I-know-everything way.

I rolled my eyes and then got serious. "Bob's gonna find out."

"So?" Karen didn't seem to see my dilemma.

I sighed. "If he finds out then it's going to be fight city. Ugh, I don't even know why he has to treat me like that. He's not the boss of me. We aren't even that close!" I complained.

"Well Soda's cooler than Bob so Soda'll kick his ass." Karen said as I laughed.

"Yeah I guess but I just don't want a fight breaking out because of me, you know?" We sat in silence for a moment. I guessed it was because Karen didn't have a remark for what I said.

The topic of our conversation got changed eventually, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. I thought it would be better to kept it to myself though because I figured I shouldn't bug Karen with my problems. At these times I really wish I had my best friend with me. I got a bit quiet but I don't think Karen noticed and if she did she just ignored it.

Karen didn't want to stay for dinner because she didn't want to impose so she left at around 5:30. It was kind of depressing when she left because with her gone my mind would wonder way too far.

"Laurie!" My mom called from downstairs. As I was going down the first thing I noticed was a head and if wasn't a head that belonged to someone I live with.

"Here she is!" Bob called.

I almost fainted right there. I was so caught off-guard. I paused for a moment to redeem myself, took a deep breath and then continued down the stairs. Avoiding Bob and his evil glares, I went to find my mother.

"You called?" I asked when I found her in the kitchen.

"Could you set the table please sweetie?" She asked. I agreed automatically because she and my aunt had their hands full

I grabbed the utensils and made my way to the dining room. When I walked out Bob walked over to me. Why did my dad and uncle have to be outside?

Bob sat in a chair and smirked at me. But it wasn't the let's-joke-around smirk it was more of a I-feel-like-making-your-life-a-living-hell. He stared at me for so long it was really starting to piss me off.

"Would you stop looking at me?!" I snapped.

"Whoa, calm down little cousin." He laughed mockingly. "So, where'd you go to after school?"

"What's it to you?"

"I'm your cousin. I have a right to know."

"HA! Don't make me laugh Bob. You don't have a right to know my best friend. There's no way in hell that I'm gonna tell you that."

He looked at me as if a light went off in his head. "You went to see your greasy friends didn't you?"

"No I didn't." I tried to be calm and be convincing but I don't think it worked.

"You did! You really want those greasers to get hurt don't you?"

"No—" He cut me off.

"No Laurie! I've given you chances but now…this is it. I'm gonna settle this now!"

"NO! No Bob! Don't you dare do anything to them! Any of them! If you're going to do something, do it to me!" I pleaded.

He glared at me for a moment.

"Dinner's ready!" My mom said coming from the kitchen.

Bob and I glared at each other for a while longer then sat in our seats as my aunt went to get my dad and uncle.

Half way through dinner my aunt spoke up.

"Oh I have a lovely idea." She said. It was honestly the most random thing.

We all stared at her blankly. "Bob, why don't you take Laurie to a movie tonight?"

"Uh, I don't think that's the best—" I began.

"That's a great idea mom." Bob turned to smirk at me. He wasn't going to win that easily.

"I can't go, I have too much homework." I stated my case.

"Oh Laurie, do that tomorrow. You don't go out enough." My mom told me.

"But mom," I really didn't to beg in front of my family.

"Which are you going to choose Laurie?" Bob chimed in. That told me he had a plan.

"Alright, I'll go, but tomorrow I'll do my homework, with no interruptions." Okay, so apparently he was going to win that easily.

"We'll go to the drive in, it'll be fun." Bob said.

Fun my ass.

"Laurie I just want you to do the dishes before you two go." My mom said as we were finishing up. Everyone started getting up and leaving to other rooms except for Bob.

"Alright, if you try one thing, I swear I'll—" I began.

"You'll what get your friends to hurt me? Laurie, come on it's just the drive in, what could happen there?" Bob asked.

But that was exactly the question. What couldhappen at the drive in? I thought to myself as I was doing the dishes. Do even want to know the answer to that?

I tried to take as long as possible but I was getting annoyed with myself. I was taking way too long. I was surprised Bob didn't barge in and be all 'that's it we're leaving'.

Bob was watching TV when I came out of the kitchen. "I'm just gonna go get ready." I told him.

He muttered in acknowledgement to my existence. I walked slowly up the stairs and went to my room. Looking in the mirror, I checked my outfit and hair as well as my face. It'll have to do. I thought. I scurried to the bathroom to brush my teeth quickly. I didn't want my breath to smell from just eating. When I was all done I went back downstairs.

"Are you all ready now?" Bob asked impatiently.

"Yeah," I stated dully.

We walked outside and he told his parents that he was taking the car. I said goodbye and then got in. I prayed silently that the night would go well, but with my luck lately, I doubted that it would.

So that was the 14th chapter. I really hope you liked it. I think the next chapter is going to be the end of my story but I'm not quiet sure yet. Anyways I'll try to update quicker this time.
