This is a short chapter, I guess, but I was going to combine it with something else but it just got *way* too long.

Oh and by the way, I don't have no life. I'm not just sitting here typing out all these chapters. Well, I kind of am, but I had like three of them already on my computer, I just had to edit them. So I'm not totally uncool :D

Oh and by the way the next two chapters (this one and the next one – especially the next one) might be kinda "mature". I don't really know… I'd read all these FanFics and I felt kinda pressured to add a "mature" scene – basically a bunch of making out. Unfortunately I don't think I'm a good enough writer to add a sex scene, even though I feel like a lot of the more popular FanFics have one. Maybe later… I don't know. It's not very good… I'm in the process of writing it now.

This is how I spend my first day of summer. I'm cool, right? :D

Was it just me or was Jillian totally hot? Girls always say that they want to be called "beautiful" instead of "hot", but trust me, Jillian had plenty of both. I lay on top of her, grabbing her soft hair and pressing my lips against hers, and all I could feel was her grabbing my hair and her body under me, warm and moving up and down, up and down.

I didn't tell her about how I already knew that her mom died of cancer. I had just heard about it through eavesdropping anyways. It's not like I looked it up or something. It wasn't important. I didn't want to ruin her good feeling of finally getting the truth out.

"Hey," she said, pausing for a second. She looked up at me. "I need to tell you something else, while we're at it."

"Go ahead," I answered as I rolled off Jillian but still faced her, suddenly scared again. All this… truth… was starting to freak me out. Or at least the anticipation was. She could just as easily say "I'm just using you for your father's connections" as she could "My favorite color is red." I just never knew.

"I lied to you… again," she said. Or rather, whispered. No, that wasn't it. She didn't say it loudly but it wasn't quite a whisper. Just really low. "I mean, I didn't. I just didn't tell you the truth… Nolan specifically told me I wasn't allowed to date anyone. If that's what we're doing. Dating."

I laughed at that. I guess we hadn't really discussed it or anything. Everyone just kind of accepted it.

"I guess that's what we're doing," I answered. "If you want."

"I'd like that," she smiled, and hooked her feet around mine and pulled herself closer to me. A shiver went up my spine. "But back to what I was originally saying…"

"Yeah, of course," I said.

"I just don't want you to get into trouble."

"Don't worry," I said. "We'll play it by ear. It'll all work out."

"You think?" she asked, and I pulled her in even tighter so that our noses were touching.

"I know."
