There is an INTENSE game of Monopoly going on right now between my sister, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's cousin. It is quite entertaining. So far her boyfriend is losing.

Oh, and this chapter actually has a title.

Chapter 11 Before The Party Scene

"Shut your mouth and listen closely because this silence isn't easy so I'll break it even harder than before because I'm 16 going on the end of my days and if words aren't going to cut it then I'll find another way,.."-Last Flight Home, All Time Low.

Hayley's P.O.V.

I walked downstairs the next morning to see Zack and Rian already awake and watching That 70s Show reruns. Jack was still sound asleep on the couch.

"Good morning," Rian said.

"Hello. How long have you been up?" I replied.

"I woke up around 11. Zack just woke up." I glanced at Zack who looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"How mad do you think he'll be if I wake him up?" I asked, pointing to Jack.

"Very," Zack said. I turned around and walked back upstairs.

"Where are you going?" Rian called.

"You'll see," I yelled back. I went over to where Kori was sleeping on my Mom's bed. I gently shook her, knowing it wouldn't take much to wake her up, but also knowing I was taking a chance with my life.

"Mmm," she stirred. Wow, she didn't get mad.

"Come on Kori. Wake up."

"No."

"Please?"

"Only if you carry me."

"Alright. Get on my back." She slowly got up and climbed on my back and rested her head on my shoulder. She jumped down when we reached the living room.

"Can I wake up Jack?" she asked.

"I was hoping you would." I said.

Jack was laying on his stomach with his arm under a pillow on the couch. Kori jumped on his back, grabbed his arms, and pulled him off the couch. She landed on her back and Jack landed on his stomach, both on the floor. We all started laughing. Kori sat up and crossed her legs. She acted as if nothing happened.

Jack rolled over and sat up, rubbing his eyes. "That was a mean way of waking me up!" he yelled.

"But it was completely worth it," Kori said. He pouted.

"Maybe to you."

"Aw I'm sorry." she kissed him. Zack and Rian groaned.

"I'm going to get food," said Rian.

"I'm coming with you," said Zack.

I got up and decided to go wake up Alex. I quickly went up the stairs and opened the door to my room.

"How the hell...?" I said to myself. Alex's head was at the end of the bed and his feet were at the pillow.

I poked him in the side of his stomach. He jumped up.

"What! Holy crap!" he said. I giggled.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," I sat down on the bed. He sat up and put his arm around my shoulders.

"Good morning to you too." he cupped my cheek with his hand and kissed it, then kissed my lips. I rested my head on his shoulder and he played with my fingers.

"Is there going to be a party?" he asked.

"If Jack's mom isn't going to be home."

"Is Jack awake?"

I chuckled remembering how he got woken up. "Yeah he is. Come on." I grabbed his hand and led him downstairs. "Jack are your parents going to be home tonight?" I asked. He shook his head. I shared a look with Alex.

"Party!" he screamed (standing right next to me) and stuck his arms in the air, almost hitting me. I winced.

"Jerk," I glared at him and started walking towards the kitchen. He pulled me back by wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Fine," I said, looking to the side. He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"What's this I hear about a party?" Zack asked, walking into the living room.

"We are having one here tonight," Alex pointed to the floor, emphasizing that it was here.

"What about Abby?" Rian said.

"As long as she can invite some people she'll be happy," I said. He nodded.

"Cool, so I guess you guys should go home since it's already like 3," I continued. "Meet you back here at 6?"

"Oh yeah," Zack said. Then left.

"Yes, yes you will." Rian said. Then left, catching a ride with Zack.

"Bye Hayley," Kori said. She hugged me and walked out the door heading to her house.

"I'll be here after I take a shower and change," said Jack. He waved and left.

I followed Alex outside. He shut the door and took my hands and started swinging them. "Do I have to go?" he asked. I looked him up and down.

"I guess you could go to Jack's house and borrow his clothes."

"Nah, I don't trust him." we laughed a little.

"I wouldn't either." I said. He looked like he wanted to say something, but didn't so I just decided not to worry about it. I mean, I guess if I really had to know he would tell me, right?

"I'll see you in a little while." he kissed me and left. I still kind of wished he would have told me what he wanted to say, but I guess I'll find out soon.

Alex's P.O.V.

The whole time I was walking home I kept wanting to turn around. All I wanted to do was tell Hayley that my ex-girlfriend Sierra was back from England. Last year she left for the exchange program at our high school. She just got back Thursday and it's only been two days but still.

I walked up to my room and laid down on my bed. I heard a knock on my window. Thinking it was probably Zack or Jack I pulled the curtains back. I nearly fell backwards when I saw Sierra. Well, speak of the Devil. Thinking I should just get this over with, I opened the window and she climbed in.

"Hey, Alex." she tried to hug me but I backed away. She frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Um, I'm not dating you anymore?" I said.

"So? We broke up only because I left for England." she giggled.

"No. We broke up because you cheated on me with the varsity wide receiver."

"Alex that was a year ago." she tried to hug me again but I stepped back.

"It doesn't matter. I'm seeing someone else." Her face fell and she was about to cry. "I think you should go," I said. She nodded and climb out the window.

"You'll regret this, Alex," she said in the most calm voice. I shut the window and closed the curtains.

One thing I knew was that I would not regret my decision at all.

Author's Note: I'm probably going to update this again tonight, mainly because I'm sick and have nothing else better to do and because I really want to write the next chapter.
