Rowan's POV
Kendall and I have been together for a few weeks. It's been great. We haven't done anything but kissing and I hope it stays that way. After the whole incident it proves that I'm not ready for sex or anything physical. I think he understands that, so it's good between us. Sabrina thinks we're the cutest couple of all time and it was nice to see her do a 160 on her Kendall feelings. It's good to still have Sabrina so supported because Lucas stopped talking and eating lunch with us too. I felt bad about breaking up the band but Kendall's my boyfriend. There wasn't anything I could do to change his opinion of me. Lucas let his feelings for me ruin our friendship. It hurt but besides that things couldn't be any better. Josh and Sabrina have been spending a lot of time together with me and without me. I would have thought they were dating if most of the time my older brother wasn't glued to Josh's hip. Jamie has become the ultimate cock blocker. Whenever Kendall was over he had to keep coming in making sure we weren't doing anything. I was kind of glad because being alone with Kendall and a bed made me nervous. I had doubts if Kendall wasn't telling me the truth but then I realize the guy I know wouldn't do something as horrible as rape. He's so sweet to me and has been the perfect boyfriend. My life went from great to horrible to amazing in just a month.
How was that even possible?
Teenagers.
I finally understand all the things parents say about becoming a teen.
You become a moody emotional mess.
"Hello?" A knock came from my door and my uncle walked in.
"Hey Josh." I smiled. He looked nervous. "What's going on?"
"Would it be cool if I asked Sabrina to homecoming?" Josh asks me. Wow, I didn't think it was ever going to happen.
"You guys are dating?" I asked him. I wouldn't love that idea but I wouldn't be mad.
"No, I'm not ready for anything serious right now. I just want to take her out and make her feel good." Josh explained to me.
"Josh, I don't want you to hurt her." I expressed my feelings.
"I would never hurt her. I care about her but she's younger than me and I want to respect her innocence." Josh didn't want Sabrina to grow up faster than she already has due to her home life. I respected how amazing of a guy Josh is being.
"Go ask her." I said with a bright smile. "Have a good time."
Sabrina's POV
I walked into Matthew's house looking for Josh. I knew Rowan would be out with Kendall or in with him. I liked him but I didn't like how much time they spent together. It wasn't healthy. They've been dating for around a month and they've spent nearly every day together since. It was bugging me. I missed having my best friend. I got spun around by Josh and I burst out in laughter.
"Hey bud!" I giggled at the nickname I gave him. He rolled his eyes and we sat on the couch together.
"The homecoming dance is tomorrow." Josh grinned at me. I looked at him.
"And?" I asked.
"Do you want to go together?" He asked me. I wasn't going to go but now I guess I am.
"As a date?" I wondered.
"Kind of." He said with a weird look on his face.
"Kind of? What does that mean?" I couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm not ready to have a relationship right now and the age difference is something to consider." Josh said and I looked down.
"I know." I whispered. He took my hand and I looked up.
"But, I like you and I want to spend more time with you." He stared for my answer.
"I'll go okay?" I rolled my eyes at his romantic speech and threw it on the TV. I could feel him smiling from behind.
About an hour later Rowan walked in and she seemed upset.
"I'll be right back." I said to Josh as I followed Rowan into her room. "What's going on?" I asked her as she wiped her makeup off.
"Nothing." Rowan said.
"You came in with the saddest look on your face." I mentioned. "What happened? Did you and Kendall break up?" I asked, wondering the truth.
"No! Are you kidding me?" She was offended by my question. I sat down on the bed next to her.
"I'm sorry, what really happened?" I promised not to guess.
"Kendall and I had a fight about tomorrow." Rowan said, laying down.
"Why? About the dance?" I asked.
"He wants to plan something special for afterwards and my curfew is earlier than we both anticipated." She cried. "He has to cancel everything and is really mad about it." Rowan looked really upset. I didn't like seeing her like this.
"Tell your dad that you're sleeping over at my house. Then when you're done with the surprise, you can tell him I was feeling sick." I agreed to help lie to her parents thinking about all of the times Rowan has helped me out.
"Thank you Sabrina! You're the best!" She hugged me tightly. "Let's have a girls night in and watch a bunch of movies."
"I'm in!" It was nice spending time with her and only her. We put on a movie and got snacks.
Rowan fell asleep a few hours later and I went into the hallway. I peaked into Josh and Jamie's room to see if Josh was up. He was sound asleep but Jamie was nowhere to be found. I was about to walk in before I heard a noise.
"Sabrina?" Jamie said softly.
"Oh my gosh!" I shouted.
"Shhh!" He said.
"I almost jumped out of my skin!" My heart was racing. Rowan and I had just watched a horror movie.
"What are you doing up?" Jamie asked me.
"I wanted to see if Josh was awake." I admitted. I don't think Jamie knew about how things were with Josh and I.
"No, but if it makes you feel better he never shuts up about you." Jamie rolled his eyes and smiled.
"It does." I smiled. "What are you doing awake?"
"I was just trying to brainstorm ways to get Rowan to break up with Kendall." Jamie said honestly.
"Jamie, she's happy. You have to let her make her own mistakes." He didn't see it how I did.
"Happiness doesn't cut it. She's in over her head. I don't want her making a mistake that would ruin her life." Jamie whispered he was hurting over Rowan's choices.
"She's smarter than that." I said, trying to ease him. "She knows better and she's got me. I'm looking out for her. Trust me."
"Fine, but if something happens I will blame you." He said sternly and went into his room. I walked back to Rowan's room and laid down.
Rowan's POV
It was today. Homecoming, my first real dance. I was so excited to see Kendall all dressed up and handsome. I had the most beautiful sparkly purple dress. I got into the shower and spent a while in there thinking about the past month of my life. It's been great and messy but overall I'm happy. I got out of the shower and blow dried my hair. I did my makeup, not too much and not too little. Then I did my hair half up, half down. It was my favorite dressy hairstyle. The last time I was this dressed up was my aunt's wedding. My uncle Shawn said I looked so much like my mom. I felt proud. Today I feel grown up for a night.
"You look beautiful." My Mom says as she walks in while I stood dressed for homecoming.
"Thank you Momma." I smiled at my mom.
"When did you become so grown up?" She asked me.
"I'm not sure." I giggled.
"I can't wait to see you with Kendall." She hugged me.
"He makes me really happy." I said as the bell rang.
"That must be your date!" My mom said excited to see.
We went into the living room and Kendall stood there in a suit looking dapper.
"Wow Rowan, You look amazing." He touched my hand.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I smiled flirty.
"It's nice to see you Mrs. Matthews." He shook my Mom's hand more than Jamie's and my Dad. This was interesting to see how much they liked him.
"Nice now let's go eat!" My dad exclaimed. We had a nice light dinner and left.
