Today is my birthday and I'm so happy to be turning 18. I started school late so was still only a senior. I'm so happy it's a Saturday so I could just enjoy the day.

I got a call from Jon telling me to look outside. I opened the door and he was outside of it, I haven't seen him since 4th of July. "Jon" I gave him a hug. "Happy 18th birthday", he put emphasis on the '18th'. I have a big surprise come with me. "But I need to change" I said. "That is perfect what you are wearing right now." We walked to his car. "Here wear this", he handed me a blindfold. "Really?" I said and waved it. "Just put it on", he started the car once I put on the blindfold. We were there pretty fast, "That was quick", and he opened my car door and guided me out. We started walking inside a building; according to him. He took off my blindfold and there was the wrestling ring with a table set up with food for the two of us. "Jon, this is great" I turned around and hugged him. "Let's go" he said and we stepped into the ring. He pulled out my chair for me then sat in his chair. "This is funny and fitting" I said. "This is part one, now open up part two" he handed me a bag. I pulled out a plane ticket and I read it. "Ohio?" I questioned. "I want you to come with me Friday through Sunday morning of Thanksgiving break." He took the bag with the ticket and put it under his chair. "I would, but my parents will kill me" I said. "Lie and say you're staying with a friend" he said like it was going to be easy. "I want to show you where I grew up; I told you all the stories, but I want you to see it. It won't be a glamorous trip and besides we get to spend time together." "Ok, but no funny business" I pointed at him. "Promise. I have a part 3." "And what might that be" I started eating. "Be my girlfriend" I almost choked when he asked me. "This is a legal relationship ya know" he wiggled his eyebrows. "Yes" I said almost in a whisper. "Huh. I didn't hear you" he pointed his ear towards me. "Yes" I said a little louder. He got up from his seat and hugged me from behind. He walked back but I got up and sat on his lap. I pointed to my lips. We kissed, and then I brought my food over to Jon's side. I fed him some fries and he did the same. "This was great. You are the best boyfriend ever." I hugged him. "I know", he smiled.

An hour later he said, "I have to leave." "No stay" I whined. "I can't I have to go", he got up. "I'm going to tell my parents later" I said. "Good do it when I'm not here" he swiped his forehead. "See you soon babe", he kissed me. I walked inside the house once he left.

"Mom, Dad I have to talk to you guys." I sat at the table opposite them. "Well you guys know that Jon took me out for lunch. We didn't only eat"- my dad cut me off. ""You guys didn't…" he trailed off. "No not that. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I said…yes" I closed my eyes like someone was about to punch me. "No, I don't like it. He's 10 years older than you. Don't you want to have a life that doesn't revolve around waiting for him once a month?"

"Dad but I really like him and besides I'm 18 legally I can do what ever I want and not ask my parents consent" I folded my arms and sat back in my seat.

"I don't care. You are not going to be his girlfriend. I don't even want to see him come around here again"

"THAT'S NOT FAIR" I yelled, "mom" I complained.

"I don't care and it IS FAIR. End of discussion."

"Really? Who's going to stop me?" I stormed out of the kitchen and up the stairs to my room.
