Nate and Lexi drove down the street of BrookWood Avenue and pulled into Lexi's big wraparound driveway up to her huge mansion. Lexi wondered why Jessica wanted to stay at Dairy Queen and walk home at 12 AM? How weird was that? Lexi just shook the thought away, happy to be best friends with Jess again. Nate had stopped the car a minute ago and was just sitting there, waiting for Lexi to finally snap our of her daydreams. He waited another second then said, "Lexi? You there?" he murmered, grabbing her arm.
Lexi shot up. "WOAH. Sorry. I was just thinking." Lexi said quickly and opened Nate's Hummers door and walked out. Nate opened his own door and walked her to her door.
"What were you thinking about?" Nate asked, when they reached Lexi's door and Lexi turned to face him.
"Jessica." Lexi admitted. "She was just a little weird tonight."
"What did you guys talk about in the bathroom?" Nate asked, a little uncomfortable, for he was waiting in Dairy Queen for 10 minutes, hoping it wasn't nasty things about him.
"Our friendship. It sort of took a down fall this year but were okay now." Lexi replied, giving a soft smile. "But anyways, Thanks for driving me to and thro. But most of all, thanks for coming to the dance with me. Yeah.. It wasn't the best." She let out a giggle, "But I still had fun." She gave a supporting smile and leaned in and pecked him on the lips.
"I did too." Nate smiled and this time, pulled her into a passionete kiss.
They stayed like that for a few 10 seconds till Lexi felt someone watching her and she looked in the window to find her mom with a camera. "Oh shit." Lexi murmered, pullin away from Nate.
Nate looked over and his face went red, "Well, Um... I'll see ya tomorrow." He said uncomfortably and walked away.
Lexi frowned, now remembering Nate never asked her out. She sighed and walked inside the lobby of her house.
She looked at her mom ,glaring hard. "MOM! Why did you do that? I think he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend!" She yelled, putting her head in her hands as she fell onto the sofa.
"Oh, I'm sorry hunny! I'm just so happy for you! You got a good one!" Lexi's mother, Julie, laughed sitting next to Lexi on the couch.
"A good one? What is that supposed to mean?" Lexi said, a little disusted.
Julie widened her eyes and shook her head fast, "No, just that he's cute." She said quickly.
"Ok, Mom. That's nice." Lexi sighed.
Julie looked at Lexi's shirt, "That looks a little small on you..." She noted.
"It's a BELLY shirt, mom. Its supposed to be too small." Lexi rolled her eyes.
Julie stayed silent and nodded, "If thats how you want people to see you."

Jessica walked out of Dairy Queen, buying another hot dog and a hamburger for later. She felt cold as a breeze brushed past her. She shivered, wishing she just asked Nate for a ride in his warm comfy hummer. She smiled, just thinking of being in that car with him. She remembered Lexi and sighed.
"I guess this is how Lexi felt when I ditched her." Jessica murmered to no one in particular but herself as she walked down 6th Avenue down to her street 5th Avenue. She was a little scared to go inside her home.
She knew what she would meet once she walked into her medium sized home.
The usual routine. She took a deep breath and crawled up the side of her house since there was a tree right next to her bedroom window.
Once she made it to the top, she jumped over to her balcony and walked in her bedroom,
she shut the door quietly and slipped into her bed, without bothering about changing.
She hoped her parents and sibilings hadn't even noticed she gone as she closed her eyes and the world turned black.

Jessica woke up the next morning, rubbing her eyes when she saw a note laying on her sidetable that was not there last night.
"Leave house! mommi & daddi MAD!" She stared at the note, rereading it 5 times, noticin it was her little brother Josh's handrighting. She gulped and quickly changed into a pink tank top and layered it with white one, pulled one some blue shorts, slipped on some flip flops, then grabbed a sweatshirt,
crawling out of the balcony onto the tree.
She slipped down the tree but failed, falling off not as gracefully as she usually does it.
She groaned in pain, staring at her ankle in a weird position which was in a lot of pain. She held in a scream and tried to get up but failed. She took her sweatshirt and wrapped it around her ankle, feeling tears coming. She grabbed for the tree branch and pulled herself up a little. She stood, leaning over to a side, her right ankle in the air.
She hopped down the sidewalk, finding this way too impossible.
Suddenly, she found a familiar looking Grey Hummer driving by. She waved her arms around frantically, "NATE!" She yelled, trying not to tell too loud.
Nate was about to drive past but just noticed her and screeched his car to a stop. he quickly got out and ran over to Jessica, " Jess? Whats wrong with your foot?" He asked, worried.
"I-I fell off that tree." She gulped, pointin at the tree beside her house.
Nate stared at Jessica's house for a few seconds then turned to Jessica with a pained expression, "I'll get you to the hospitol. Just try not to move your ankle." He murmered,
and helped her into his car.
Jessica held in a cry as Nate shut the door and got into the car himself. He quickly drove down the road towards the nearby hospitol. Nate kept on looking over at Jessica from time to time. Jessica wondered why but knew it was because of her ankle. She looked down at the throbbing ankle which still was filled with pain.
"Were here. Come on, I'll help ya in." Nate spoke up, getting out of the car,
opening Jessica's door for her and helping her to the door.
