Here is the next chapter. This one will be in general POV as it will focus on several characters. I hope you are enjoying this chapter and the entire story.

Plans for the Weekend, Having a Girls Night verses Having a Date Night.

General POV

Teenagers need a night out with friends as well as a date night. The thing is when you either don't have a boyfriend or your current one is not speaking to you a girl night out may be the only thing you have. For best friends Bella Kingston and Deylia Rivers they tried to have girls nights on a regular basis even when they both had boyfriends.

Bella Kingston gets home from school later then usual on Thursday since she had to go to her counseling appointment. She was only going because her mother wanted her to. At least it was only once a week so it wasn't that bad. She didn't say much because most of what was going on in her life she didn't want to tell someone that she has only known for a month. Bella would much rather tell Deylia things since they have been best friends for 5 years. When Bella finally got home it was almost dinner time and she noticed she had another missed call from her dad. Bella really wanted to call her dad back but it was 10 PM in the UK. Her mom was home from work. Her moms boyfriend Ian and his son Ryan were also there.

"Hi mom." Bella said

"Bella, your dad called the home phone while you were gone. It's late in the UK now so make sure you call him back tomorrow." Melissa said

"He called my cell like two hours ago. Every time he calls me I'm usually still at school so I can't answer. This time difference thing makes it really hard for me to talk to him." Bella said

"When was the last time you talked to him?" Melissa asked

"Its been a month." Bella said

"You might want to try emailing your dad. That might be an easier way to reach him." Melissa said

"Its not the same thing as a phone call." Bella said

"Get started on your homework because dinner will be ready soon." Melissa said

Bella tried to start her homework but she was distracted when she received a text from her dad.

"Call me please, I miss you - Love dad" Wren had texted

Bella called as soon as she read the text.

"How are you?" Was the first thing her dad said when he answered the phone.

"Honestly, my life sucks right now." Bella said

"Bella, tell me what is going on." Her dad said

"Mom, is still watching my every move. I have almost no freedom anymore. My mom is dating this guy and I can't get along with his son." Bella said

"Your mom's dating already? Is she Happy?" Her dad asked

"Sorry, I thought you knew. She seems happy but I'm secretly hoping it doesn't work out." Bella said

"Did you talk to you mom about this?" Her dad asked

"No but it doesn't matter shes not going to break up with him just because I don't approve." Bella said

"I haven't talked to you in several weeks so how was homecoming?" Her dad asked

"It was fun until I saw Tyler kissing another girl who I thought was my friend." Bella said

"Did you talk to either Tyler or this friend of yours?" Her dad asked

"I've been avoiding Tyler since homecoming. I haven't talked to this friend yet either." Bella said

"I really miss you and I'm thinking about coming to visit you." Her dad said

"When?" Bella asked

"I was thinking about maybe I could come out between Thanksgiving and New Years. I can't imagine spending the holidays without you so I would be visiting for about a month or so." Her dad said

"That would be great." Bella said

"I love you." Her dad said

"I love you." Bella said

"Call me anytime you need to talk. I don't care how late it is, I will always answer my phone for you." Her dad said

After she hung up the phone she ate dinner with her mom, Ian, and Ryan. It was taco night. Bella remembered one night when Tyler ate dinner with her parents. It was also Taco night then.


The next day at school during lunch Bella and Deylia were sitting together. It was something they tried to do every week on Friday.

"I talked to my dad last night for the first time in a month." Bella said

"Thats great, What did he say?" Deylia asked

"He misses me and he's thinking about coming to visit me between Thanksgiving and New Years for about a month or so." Bella said

"That will keep you busy." Deylia said

"I would still have time to see you." Bella said

"I know but now that nationals is over I have some time to spend with you." Deylia said

"You won meaning you have worlds to prepare for." Bella said

"Worlds are in April, I have time for that besides I'm not even sure if Branden and I are competing." Deylia said

"What is going on between the two of you. I haven't seen you and Branden together all week. You would never let him sit alone in the cafeteria so why is he sitting alone now?" Bella asked

"Branden and I got in a fight. He gave me a box of my stuff back and I gave him some of his sweatshirts back. We're not exactly talking to each other right now." Deylia said

"So if you don't compete then does that mean that I can't go see my dad in London over spring break?" Bella asked Deylia

"Look, I'm sorry Bella but my parents are not going to pay for another plane ticket to London unless it has to do with dance." Deylia replied to Bella

"What if you told your parents that you wanted to go to London over spring break to tour universitys. I thought it might be kind of cool if the two of us went to university in London. That way I can be closer to my dad and we would have each other." Bella said

"I'll ask but don't count on my parents to say yes." Deylia said

"I'm free this weekend to spend time together." Bella said

"This weekend would have been my three year anniversary with Branden but now I'm not even sure if were together anymore." Deylia said

"Go ask Branden if you are still together." Bella said

Deylia was about to go ask Branden but she noticed that he was talking to Rochelle and decided it was a bad time.

"Lets go to the movies tomorrow night. One Direction has a concert movie that is in theaters for one weekend only." Deylia said

"Sounds like a great girls night out. We haven't had one of those in awhile." Bella said


Meanwhile Tyler was eating lunch with JT. Tyler was mad at JT for sleeping with Deylia but he still wanted to eat lunch with his best friend. Katie Fitz was also sitting at the same table.

"So, are you and Katie like dating now?" JT asked

"No, but we have a strong friendship." Tyler said

"The friends with benefits kind?" JT asked

"I don't know maybe, we haven't really talked about it." Tyler said

"I can't have a boyfriend right now. I'm still grounded from the lake house party two weeks ago." Katie said

"How long is that going to last?" Tyler asked

"My parents told me two weeks so I'm ungrounded after Sunday. Which means next week I can finally drive to school instead of taking the bus." Katie said

"You could always sneak out. Are you up for a movie Saturday night?" Tyler asked

"Do you know how strict my parents are? I'm going to end up in more trouble." Katie said

"Your a teenager, trust me sneaking out is what we do." Tyler said

"I guess it wouldn't hurt since I'm already in trouble. Technically I wouldn't even have to sneak out because my parents are going to be at this newspaper awards banquet thing." Katie said


At another table eating lunch together were Catalina and Enzo. Also eating at the same table were Alex and Elizabeth.

"Cat, How does it feel to have a boyfriend?" Alex asked

"Um, It's more then I could ever ask for. I never thought that I would have 2 good friends and a boyfriend in just the few months that I have lived here." Catalina said

"How are your parents?" Enzo asked

"Still fighting but I have faith that they will work things out?" Catalina said

"All parents fight Catalina, even mine have the occasional fight?" Elizabeth said

"I'm just worried. Moving here was supposed to give my parents a fresh start. I don't even think my brother knows anything yet. Their fighting kept me up last night." Catalina said

"If you ever need to spend the night away from home, I'm sure my moms would let you stay in our spare bedroom." Alex said

"Your are welcome to stay with us anytime you need." Enzo said

"Thanks but I really don't expect your moms to temporally adopt me until things get better at home." Catalina said

"Alex and I are hanging out tomorrow night, Catalina you are welcome to join us." Elizabeth said

"Thanks but no thanks I have a paper to write and I really need to study." Catalina said

"The English 11 paper that's due on Monday I'm almost done with mine." Alex said

"I haven't even had a chance to start it yet. Gymnastics is keeping me really busy." Catalina said

"I'm in Gymnastics and I have little trouble keeping up with my homework." Elizabeth said

"You are not as serious of a competitor as I am. Last weekend I made the Team USA national team. I'm an official Olympic hopeful now." Catalina said

"Good for you, I would have easily made the team if I hadn't messed up my ankle. My parents won't let me get a cortisone shot for the pain." Elizabeth said

"I thought those were illegal in sports." Alex said

"If you don't have an actual injury then yes but if it's the only way you can compete then it's legal, At least in Gymnastics. I'm sure they are illegal in other sports like Basketball and Baseball because some people use them as steroids." Elizabeth said

"Even if you could have done your best moves I don't think the selection committee would have chosen a girl that quit for a few years." Catalina said

"My parents told me that if I couldn't keep up with my school work then I couldn't compete. I love gymnastics but my grades are also important to me." Elizabeth said

"Well you actually need school because Gymnastics isn't going to get you much of a future. Sophomores have way less homework then Juniors anyway so next year you won't be able to do both." Catalina said

"Cat, stop being so mean to Elizabeth." Alex said

"I'm not being mean to her, were competitors so we're not exactly normal best friends." Catalina said

"Alex is right Cat, you are being mean to Elizabeth." Enzo said

"Enzo, your supposed to side with me." Catalina said

"Cat, Just because we are boyfriend/girlfriend that doesn't mean that I'm always going to side with you." Enzo said

"Well a boyfriend that won't side with his girlfriend is not the perfect boyfriend." Catalina said

"Cat, you better watch what you say before Enzo breaks up with you. I know my brother better then you and I'm beginning to think that you are not the best girlfriend for him." Alex said


The next day was Saturday so the Rosewood teens were enjoying the nice mid October weekend. Bella was going to be picking up Deylia soon so they could go to the movies.

"You seem happy today." Melissa said

"I'm going to the movies with Deylia tonight." Bella said

"Let me guess, the One Direction concert movie." Melissa said

"Yes." I said

"Have fun." Melissa said

"Whats wrong?" Bella asked

"Nothing I just kind of hoped that we could have a mother daughter night tonight. Ian took the weekend off so him and Ryan could go visit his parents. So I was hoping to spend the night with you and not all alone." Melissa said

"I would cancel on Deylia but its kind of last minute plus Deylia texted me this morning saying that she bought two tickets online this morning for tonight." Bella said

"You don't have to that, I will find something to keep me occupied." Melissa said

A few hours later Bella drove to Deylias house to pick her up.


Earlier that afternoon over at the Rivers house Deylia and Tyler where having a conversation.

"Can I use your car tonight Deylia?" Tyler asked

"What do you need it for?" Deylia asked him back

"I'm going out with a friend." Tyler replied

"Tell JT to pick you up then." Deylia said

"I'm not hanging out with JT tonight." Tyler said

"Your're going to be with that girl, What's her name again?" Deylia asked

"Katie." Tyler said

"I can't believe you found a replacement for Bella that fast." Deylia said

"Katie and I are not dating yet, I can be friends with a girl if you can be friends with a guy." Tyler said

"I wouldn't exactly call JT and I friends anymore." Deylia said

"What about Bellas British cousin Liam? You two seemed close." Tyler asked

"He went back home and I haven't heard from him since." Deylia said

"So can I have your car keys or not?" Tyler asked

"Promise me that you won't get another scratch on my car." Deylia said

"I'll be more careful Deylia." Tyler said

"Fine, your lucky Bella is picking me up so I won't need my car tonight." Deylia said and then handed the keys over to Tyler.

After that Deylia got a text from JT.

"Have nothing to do tonight if you want to come hang out, We don't have to do anything special. -JT"

"Sorry, I already have plans with Bella tonight, maybe some other time. -Deylia"

Deylia just said that but the truth is that she really doesn't want to see JT right now.

Deylia sent a short text message to Branden.

"Can we talk, tomorrow please - Deylia"

Hours later that message had yet to be returned.


Jason was over at the Ali and Emily's house fixing some things around the house that the two moms couldn't do. He didn't mind helping out his sister because it also gave him some time to spend with Alex and Enzo.

"Jason, your more then welcome to stay for dinner. It probably won't be for like another two hours but you can stay here or come back." Emily said

"Thanks, that sounds great." Jason said

Enzo and Alex were hanging on in the living room. Alex was reading and Enzo was doing his homework.

"Alex, did you finish that English 11 paper yet?" Enzo asked

"Yes, I finished it last night." Alex said

"Can you help me with mine because I have no idea how I'm going to get the final draft done by Monday." Enzo said

"I can't write the essay for you, that would be considered cheating." Alex said

"I don't want you to do that, I just need someone to edit it." Enzo said

"In that case, I guess I can help you but just night right now. I'm just really into this book." Alex said

"I have a date tonight, Cat is going to be here in an hour so I need to work on this now." Enzo said

"I have an idea, You and Cat should have a homework date. That way both of you can work on your paper together." Alex said

"It's not a group project, if she wants to get her essay done in time then she needs to write it herself." Enzo said

"Fine, I'll stop reading to help you now." Alex said

Catalina arrived an hour later. Enzo was taking her out to dinner.

"So that essay, I was wondering if maybe you could give me yours so I can have help when I write mine." Catalina said

"Your not going to copy it word for word are you?" Enzo asked

"No, I just need it as a guide to write mine." Catalina said

Not exactly trusting Catalina, Enzo gives her Alex's essay instead of his own.

"Enzo, This is your sisters." Catalina said

"Mine is done but not edited yet so just go with my sisters. She's has an A in English 11 and I have a B so clearly she is the better writer anyway." Enzo said


Katie Fitz sneaked out of her house around 630 PM. She didn't really have to sneak out because her parents weren't home. They had left at 5 PM and were not expected home until 11 pm. Tyler picked her up. She had her own car but because she was technically still grounded her parents had taken the keys away from her.

"So instead of the movies, there is this party at the Rosewood overlook." Katie said

"How do you know about this party?" Tyler asked

"Some of my Brothers friends are friends with me on Facebook and I saw this post about a party." Katie said

"Were you invited to this party?" Tyler asked

"Not exactly." Katie said

"Then I'm not taking you." Tyler said

"So the movies it is then but maybe you can drop me off afterwords and I'll find my own ride home." Katie said

"Ok but don't blame me if you get into more trouble." Tyler said


At the movies were Katie and Tyler, Bella and Deylia, Brandon and Rochelle. They all quickly realized that that they were seeing the same movie.

"I can't believe Brandon. I wouldn't even call us officially broken up yet and he's already at the movies with Rochelle." Deylia said

"Well it doesn't exactly make me happy that Tyler is with Katie." Bella said

"True, but at least you and Tyler have been apart for three months now." Deylia said

"You want to go home?" Bella asked

"No, I really want to see the movie." Deylia said

"Me to but I don't want to sit near Tyler and I don't think you want to sit near Brandon." Bella said

"Agreed" Deylia said


I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. Right now the relationships are kind of mixed up but that is only temporary.
