Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. The main characters for this chapter will be Rosie Cavanaugh and Leo. Katie Fitz will also be mentioned in this chapter.

Sadie Hawkins Dance

Rosie's POV

Tonight was the Sadie Hawkins dance at Rosewood High. I was going with Leo as a date. My mom knew this but my dad still thought Leo and I were just friends. It was Friday after school and the dance was in just a few hours. I took the bus home from school and Leo was with me so we could do some homework together before the dance. Leo and I were in my room talking.

"I'm going to LA with my parents over mid winter break to see Xanthe." Leo said

"Can I go to, I really want to see her?" I asked

"It's a family trip so I would have to ask my parents first but if your parents can pay for your plane ticket then it shouldn't be a problem. My parents can only afford to go because my Aunt and Uncle bought the plane tickets for us." Leo said

"Never mind because I probably have a show jumping competition then anyway." I said

"Now that I'm not doing karate my dad wants me to do some after school activity so I just auditioned for the school musical. It's Romeo and Juliet the musical so I figured since we had to read the play this semester in English 9 that it would be perfect." Leo said

"Are they still doing auditions?" I asked

"The regular auditions ended yesterday and the callbacks start on Monday so it might be to late for you. " Leo said

"To bad, which part to you audition for?" I asked

"Romeo but lots of people auditioned so there's a slim chance that I would actually get the part." Leo said

"Did a lot of people audition for Juliet?" I asked

"Not that many but Katie Fitz will end up with the part anyway since her dad is stage manager and director." Leo said

"That seems like an unfair advantage." I said

"It is but Katie has lots of acting experience and I may also have a slight advantage with her dad being involved in the play." Leo said

"How? I thought Katie's family just moved here over the summer?." I asked

"They did but my mom and Katie's dad have known each other for a long time and have a complicated history together." Leo said

"Really, like did they used to date awhile back?" I asked

"Yes but it's also more then that, Jayde and I don't have the same biological father. Katie and my sister Jayde are half sisters." Leo said

"Your family is even more complicated then mine. Growing up I thought having family in two different countries was hard." I said

"Remember I have family on two different sides of the united states now so I understand how hard that is." Leo said

"Can you use that advantage and get me an audition please? I know it would be for a play but the thought of you kissing another girl bothers me. " I asked

"I'll try but I can't guarantee anything. I wouldn't want Katie to be upset though if you get the part instead of her." Leo said

"Katie seems nice though. She drove me home from school a few days ago when I missed the bus." I said

"Katie has a bad side and I wouldn't want her to use it on you." Leo said


Instead of doing homework we started making out on my bed. I didn't want things to go all the way but I also didn't want Leo to stop kissing me. Things got more heated between us. I was about to stop Leo from going any farther but of course we had to be interrupted by my dad at a bad time.

"Rosie Sophia Cavanaugh." Toby yelled

"Dad, this isn't what it looks like." I said

"I'm taking Leo home now and Rosie we will talk about this later." Toby said

"Bye Rosie, I'll see you at the dance tonight." Leo said

"No you won't Leo because Rosie is not going to the dance." Toby said

"Dad, you are being so unfair." I said

"Life isn't always fair Rosie." Toby said


My dad took Leo home and I got ready for the dance even though my dad said I couldn't go. My dad got home and I heard him talking to me mom.

"Did you know about Leo and Rosie?" Toby asked

"Who do you think was driving them around for the last 10 months. Aria and I took turns driving them to and from the movies, the mall, the park, and where ever else they went on there dates." Spencer said

"Whatever they had between them needs to be over." Toby said

"Calm down Toby, you are acting just like my dad was when he first found out about the two of us." Spencer said

"Spence, It's one thing for Rosie to lie to me but you knew about Rosie and Leo for months and didn't tell me." Toby said

"Don't feel bad, Leo's dad didn't now about them yet either." Spencer said

"He does now because I told him what Leo and Rosie were up to when I dropped Leo off at his house." Toby said

"You can't help who our kids fall in love with." Spencer said

"It's not Leo I have a problem with. Rosie is only 15, she has a full life ahead of her and doesn't need to get seriously involved with a boy." Toby said

"I didn't know Rosie's relationship with Leo was that serious." Spencer said

"I caught them today in Rosie's room." Toby said

"You don't think they were going to have sex do you?" Spencer asked

"Not yet but if I hadn't stopped them then maybe. Toby said

"We really need to have that talk with Rosie." Spencer said

"I agree or Rosie is going to end up just like Elizabeth and I really don't want to go through that again." Toby said

"So what do we tell Rosie? It's not like I want her having sex anymore then you do." Spencer asked

"We tell Rosie that if she goes that far with Leo then she needs to use protection and if Leo doesn't have any condoms then she needs to ask JT for some." Toby said

"I think Rosie should be on birth control just like Elizabeth and Rochelle are." Spencer said

"Yes but Rosie needs to know that even birth control isn't 100 percent effective and she has to take it every single day around the same time of day or else they might not work right." Toby said

"The reason why the doctors said the birth control didn't work for me was because of the drugs I took in high school. They messed with my body leaving me with chemical and hormonal imbalance." Spencer said


I asked Elizabeth to sneak me out and take me to the school dance. We took Rochelle's car because even though Elizabeth had her drivers licence she didn't have her own car. When I got to the dance it was already halfway over. I didn't care because I had to see Leo. I walked in the dance and found Leo with Katie. He was so busy talking to Katie that he didn't even see me there. Before I knew it Leo and Katie kissed. I ran back outside not wanting to see the kiss. I called the first person on my speed dial which happened to be my dad. I should have called my mom but I didn't think about first.

"Dad, It's Rosie. Can you please come pick me up?" I said in tears

"Where are you?" Toby asked

"Rosewood High, I went to the dance even though you told me not to." I said

My dad was at Rosewood High a short time later to pick me up. I got in the passenger side of his truck.

"You got exactly what you wanted." I said

"What do you mean Rosie?" Toby asked

"Leo cheated on me with Katie Fitz. Elizabeth drove me here and I missed half the dance. When I walked into the gym I saw Leo with Katie dancing and they kissed." I said

"Rosie, I'm so sorry" Toby said

"How are you and mom able to stay married for so long?" I asked

"Rosie, we love each other, even when your mom or I make mistakes we find a way to forgive each other." Toby said

Once we got home I had dinner with the rest of the family even though I really didn't feel like eating. Later that night JT and I talked.

"So what happened at the dance?" JT asked

"Why do boys always have to screw up the relationship?" I asked

"Rosie it's not always that way. Remember I was the one that got cheated on." JT said

"I thought Leo was the perfect guy until I saw him kissing Katie Fitz." I said

"If you and Leo were meant to be then you will find a way to forgive him." JT said

"Thanks but your first relationship didn't work out and I'm not sure if mine will either." I said

"If you think it will help I will talk to Katie Fitz for you. I would even date Katie if it keeps her away from Leo." JT said

"You really would start a fake relationship with Katie for me?" I asked

"I would do anything to protect my favorite sister." JT said

I went to bed and I was still upset about Leo kissing Katie. Having to see it was bad enough but before I could fall asleep A sent me a photo text of the kiss with a note saying "Don't let Katie Fitz steal your boyfriend - A".


Monday at school.

I have been ignoring all of Leo's calls of the weekend. He doesn't know why I'm mad at him because he doesn't even know I saw the kiss between him and Katie. JT drove me to school so I didn't have to take the bus. I was at my locker when Leo walked up to me.

"Did you dad take your cell phone because I have been trying to call you all weekend?" Leo asked

"No, I was just busy." I said

"So busy that you didn't have time to talk to your boyfriend." Leo said

"On Saturday I went to work with my dad and yesterday I was at the stables all day training." I said

"I got you an audition for the musical today at lunch." Leo said

"Thanks but I don't want to do the musical anymore if you are going to be in it." I said

"What, the other day you wanted to get cast as Juliet so you didn't have to see me kissing another girl." Leo said

"Funny you should say that because I did see that little kiss you shared with Katie at the Sadie Hawkins dance on Friday." I said

"Rosie that kiss with Katie didn't mean anything to me." Leo said

"When were you planing on telling me that you cheated?" I asked

"I called you so many times over the weekend because I wanted to tell you. I kissed Katie because she made me." Leo said

"I find that hard to believe." I said

"I told you Katie had a bad side and she used it on me to get the kiss she wanted. I only kissed Katie because she told me that she would ask her dad to give you an audition but only if I kissed her first." Leo said

"Leo, there had to have been another way to get me that audition." I said

"Rosie please do your best at this audition because if Katie gets the part then I did it all for nothing and I really don't want to loose you." Leo said

"I will audition but for now we are breaking up. I will let you know if I can ever trust you again." I said

At lunch I auditioned for Romeo and Juliet the musical. I don't know if I was good enough to get the part. At the end of the week the cast list for the musical was posted.

Leo Guzman as Romeo Mantaque

Katie Fitz as Juliet Capulet

I was disappointed when I didn't see my name but then at the bottom of the page I did see my name.

Rosie Cavanaugh as Understudy for Katie Fitz

This meant I had to learn the Juliet part of the play but I would only be able to perform it on stage if Katie Fitz couldn't. Being the replacement for Katie was not what I wanted but at least I sort of got a role in the musical.


I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. I will try to update more often.
