Love, Life, and Dogs


 Chapter Eleven


Kaitlyn:

It was Sunday and I felt like I had a hangover. My head was aching and everytime I opened my eyes the sun burned and I just wanted to go back to bed. Saturday night I hadn't heard from Becky or Sarah so I hung out with Jb all day, I mean what else was I suppose to do on a Saturday? I wasn't going to stay home I knew that for a clear fact.
"Kaitlyn get up mom is going to her first doctor's appointment.", Collin was a hyper mood for some reason and it made me slightly suspicious. I got out of bed and threw on some random clothes, it was Sunday I wasn't worried about my appearance. I fixed my hair, did my make up and then grabbed my purse off the table.
"I am so excited.", my mom was smiling as Jaime helped her with her coat. Yes, I still called my father Jaime.
"Mom, didn't you say that you don't know how far along you are?", asked Collin as we all got in the car.
"I don't that's why I'm so excited.", the smile wasn't fading from my mom's face she was so happy. She reminded me of my biological mom before she died. I did love Alessandra she was a great mother and she had raised me since I was a Sophmore and it felt like longer.
We pulled into the hospital parking lot and walked into the waiting room. After waiting the doctor called us all into his office.
"It feels like I've been here before Collin.", I whispered as we walked into the office.
"I know, I feel it too.", he said it louder and my father heard us.
"Kids you've never been in here before ever.", he sounded hesitant and it threw me off a bit, it was like he was hiding something but I didn't let it bug me.
The doctor was talking to my mom when we walked in and I sat next to my dad.
"Okay are we ready to see your new baby?", asked the doctor excitedly. We all agreed and he brought out the tube of Ultrasound Gell and poured it on my moms tummy.
After a few moments he smiled.
"You're eighteen weeks pregnant with twins, congratulations.", he said in a happy tone of voice. My parents jaws dropped and Collin's eyes went wide. I looked at the screen in disbelief.


Sarah:
I sat upstairs in my bedroom with Jaylen lying next to me. Brent had gone over to a friend's house and my parents were gone as usual. I had been texting Zack since I got home and I didn't want to stop for the life of me. I was becoming so attatched to him and so quickly too.
My phone began ringing when I set it down.
"Hello gorgeous.", he said when I answered.
"Hey.", I said smiling.
"Miss me?", he asked.
"I've missed you since I got out of your car.", I said back.
"I'll come get you if you want me too.", he said and he sounded like he was smiling.
"Yes! Please!", I said yelling into the phone.
"I'm on my way sweetie.", he said and hung up. I looked over to my side and saw Jaylen, I had completely forgotten about her.
I called Brent.
"Hello?", he asked after answering.
"Brent come home now!", I yelled into the phone. He hung up and was home in less than a few moments. He came bursting through my bedroom door and looked at me frantically.
"I need you to watch Jaylen I'm leaving.", I said smiling as I heard Zack's car.
"What!", he yelled at me as I walked past him and started to walk down the stairs.
"You heard me, have a good night Brent and I might not be home tonight."
"Who are you leaving with?", he yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Zack.", I said as I walked out the front door and towards Zack's car. I opened the passenger side and smiled as I got in his car.
"You seem to be healing well hun.", he said I closed the door.
"I don't even notice the pain much anymore, you must've done a good job.", I said as I ran my hand over some of my exposed bruises.
"I have amazing timing that's why.", he smiled in a smirkish way.
"You saved me that's why.", I said quietly.
"I voted no on rape I told you this.", he said laughing.
"I know.", I smiled and he drove away from my house.
"Where do you wanna go sweet heart?", he asked me as I gazed out the window.
"Your house.", I said smiling at him innocently.
"Is my house entertaining?", he asked me laughing.
"Yes, yes it is. We can go to your house or drive around in circles.", I said with a hint of red starting to form on my cheeks.
"Do you seriously wanna drive in circles?", he asked while looking at me in disbelief.
"Yea.", I said seriously.
"Okay, works with me.", he turned onto a street with no houses and started to turn in circles. I was laughing hysterically as he kept going and going. He finally sped up hit the brakes and did a donut in the middle of the road.
"Now where to princess?", he said smiling at me. At least he looked like he was having a good time and I wasn't bugging him insanely.
"Your house, your house, your house.", I chanted while laughing.
"Okay, I'm good with that. I want coffee anyway.", I laughed when he said coffee.
"Zack?", I asked looking at him while he drove.
"Yes hun?", he turned to me and looked at me for a moment before returning his eyes to the road.
"We should get frappuccinos.", I said with a wide smile creeping onto my red cheeks.
"Yes we should.", he said agreeing with me and turning on the radio. He rolled down the windows and turned up the volume. I heard Enrique Iglesias come on and he started singing.
"I made this song.", said Zack humming as Tonight was played.
"I bet you did.", I replied while singing along. He pulled into the Starbucks drive-thru and ordered Frappuccinos.
"Did you know this is where I work?", he asked after ordering.
"No because we never exactly talked about occupations."
"Well I make coffee with love sweetie."
"I don't think I've ever tried it.", I said to him a little confused at what he was talking about.

"Just imagine me inside a coffee cup."

"That would taste really good."

"Except my hair wouldn't fit even with the cap on."

Chapter Twelve 


Kaitlyn:

We finally got back home and I went straight to my room, I just really wanted school to start again. Jb couldn't hang out with me so this Sunday night was going to be completely boring. I had nothing to do and nothing was different or changing in my life.
My mom was calling every relative we had and telling them the news, of course if it was me they'd all be upset with me for being 17 and about to have kids, that thought just had to pop into my head at that moment, I honestly didn't know why it had but apparently there was a reason. I think I was just trying to waste time in my head and make the night go by faster, I just decided to go to bed.


Jb:
I was finishing up work with my dad, he was in construction and we were finishing up for the night. I'd spent all day working on this house with my dad and Kaitlyn had been calling me without a pause, I don't think she realized I was really working.
"Jb, start the truck.", yelled my dad from the upstairs portion of the house. I walked over to the truck and started it.
"Dad is it Sunday?", I yelled back at the house.
"Yea.", I heard him say back. I sighed, school tomorrow.


Brent:

Collin was back over and we were getting ready to go to party. Collin was my party partner, we went to every party together. Aaron went to half.


"Brent let's go.", Collin said grabbing my car keys off the counter. Just then I heard Jaylen down the hall.

"I have to call Sarah, who else is gonna watch Jaylen?", I said annoyed that I was left with her.

"Hello?", she asked after a few rings.

"Come home and watch Jaylen, Collin and I are leaving for Kelsey's party.", I said 

into the phone trying to hurry this up so I could leave.

"That's not my problem Brent, I have watched her 60 out of 84 hours this week, 

you've watched her for 10.", she spoke fast and then hung up on me. I threw my 

phone on the ground.


"Sarah is such a-", I was cut off mid sentence by Collin.

"Dude, have Becky watch her. We can drop her off when we pick up Aaron.", said 

Collin walking into my room and looking at my phone on the ground.

"Good idea.", I started to calm down immediately.


Becky:
I watched Brent pull into our driveway, I was sitting on my balcony with Donnie.
"Aaron, Brent's here!", I yelled back into the house. I looked down and Brent got out of the car with Jaylen, I was so confused. I got up and walked into the living room.
"There you are, watch Jaylen.", said Brent handing Jaylen to me and walking out of the house.
"What?", I said looking at Jaylen in my arms. Oh my gosh, how was this fair? It's his sister! I took Jaylen upstairs and set her on my bed, she crashed as soon as I tucked her in and I texted Sarah.


Becky- Um, why did Brent drop off Jaylen at my house and tell me to watch her?


Sarah-Because I'm not there to watch her.


Becky- Where are you? A party that you didn't tell me about or something?

Sarah- No, I'm with Zack. Will you please watch her, our parents are in Rome and I've been watching her all week.

Becky- It's no problem just wanted to make sure you knew she was over here. Wait, who's Zack?


Sarah- A really cute guy, I'll tell you tomorrow. Thanks Chicka :).


I tossed my phone into my computer chair and walked back out onto my balcony.
"Why is Sarah's little sister here?", asked Donnie as I sat on his lap.
"Brent just dropped her off here because Sarah isn't home.", I said still ticked at Brent.
"Where is Sarah?", he asked as if Sarah was always in one place.
"She's with some guy named Zack.", I said to him knowing exactly what he was going to say next.
"Ooh, Sarah's on a date?", he said back to me. I knew he was going to say it too.


Aaron:
Brent sped down Avery Lane, everyone did. The road had nothing on it at first and once you reached the part of the road where trees began to appear you began to see huge homes, they were mansions in the middle of nowhere. There were so many and they were one after the other and they all looked well kept and rich worthy.
Halfway into the homes there was a gated community off to the side with the same size homes, they just happened to be behind a fancy gate, if you passed the gate there were a few more homes and then the end of Avery Lane where the forest began.
We stopped right before Avery's Gated Community and pulled into the driveway lined with other cars.
"Did you know Avery Lane is named after a girl that died in one of the homes here?", asked Collin getting out of the car.
"No it isn't dude.", I said closing the back door.
"Yea it is, 52012 Avery Lane is a haunted house here, nobody's lived in it since the little girl died.", said Brent walking towards the open front door of the house.
"Then why has this road always been called Avery Lane?", I asked walking with them.
"It use to be called Carlington Court, there were only three homes on the road.", I heard Daniel say as he came up behind us.
"What do haunted homes have to do with this party?", I asked stopping and turning around to face Daniel.

"This is one of the three homes originally on this street.", said Daniel pointing to the house's number.


52013


I stopped for a moment and turned to my left and saw the other house through the bushes, not one light was on.
"Yep, that's 52012. Little Avery is in there.", he said trying to sound spooky but failing extremely.
"We're just playing around with you Aaron.", said Brent hitting my back as he walked into the house. I turned and looked at the house again and saw a light come on.
"Was that a true story?", I asked Collin who was still standing by me.
"It's true but we're just messing with you. Don't freak out, the only reason nobody wants to live there is because of what's happened.
"I just saw a light turn on in the top window.", I said to him as he finished his sentence.
"The electricity's been shut off in that house for years Aaron.", said Collin laughing.
"Look.", I said pointing through the bushes. the light was off.
"Nothing, see Aaron. You're just seeing things. Come on the party's started.", he finished his sentence and darted into the house. I looked back at the dark window and a light came on again. I shook it off and walked inside quickly.


Sarah:
I was sipping my coffee and the music was still blasting through the speakers as we drove down the backroads.
"Where are we going?", I asked him curiously.
"A secret spot where I only take my special friends.", he said smiling sweetly. I just stayed quiet.
Friends...
He turned down a dirt road and drove to the end parking on and edge. I got out of the car and saw the freeway down the hill and in front of us, it was beautiful at the angle I was standing in. My eyes were locked on the view, the way the lights were shining off the stars in the sky, the way everything corresponded together. It was breathtaking. I heard the song change to a slower tune and I turned to Zack.
"Your body is a wonderland?", I asked as he closed the driver side and walked towards me.
"Dance with me?", he asked as I stood there looking at him.
"Of course.", I said as I took his hand and stood in dance position. I loved dancing and if it was with this man, I'd never say no.
We swayed back and forth and he twirled me around as we stepped to the beats and looked at the lights of the freeway glowing into the sky. I felt my cheeks get warm as he leaned me backwards and smiled at me and kissed my forehead. He pulled me a little closer and we continued to dance.
"You're really good Zack.", I said surprised that he could dance so well.
"I know how to dance.", he said to me laughing.
"I noticed."
"I work at a dance studio sweet heart.", he said chuckling as we kept dancing.
"Oh well that figures.", I said feeling my blushing cheeks turn a little darker.
"Are you blushing?", he asked smiling wider.
"No.", I said quickly denying it.
"You are!", he said shocked.
"I am not!", I said back quickly.
"It's okay sweetie.", he said bringing me into a hug.
"Maybe I was a little bit.", I said as we pulled apart into dance position again.
"I know, you still are hun.", he said rubbing my shoulder.
"That's not incredibly embarrassing.", I said pulling away and facing the opposite direction. He came up behind me and picked me up.
"Really Zack?", I said sarcastically.
"Oh yes.", he said in a macho tone of voice.
"Where are we going.", I asked once again curious.
"You'll see.", he said still carrying me. He stopped and set me down on some grass.
I turned my head and saw the moon glistening off of water, we were at a small lake.
"We're going swimming?", I asked with a little disbelief.
"Hell yeah.", he said taking off his shirt revealing his chest.
"It's gonna be cold.", I said already shaking a little.
"Don't be a wimp.", he said jumping in. He did not just call me a wimp.
I took off my shirt and left my shorts on and jumped in after him. We could still hear the music coming from his car.
"Somebody's a little dare devilish I see.", he said swimming up behind me.
"Just a bit.", I said trying to follow him with my eyes so he couldn't scare me.
"Come here.", he said grabbing my hand and swimming to the other edge of the lake.
"Where are we going now?", I asked laughing.
"You'll see again.", he said still swimming. We stopped and I watched his outline get on top of something. He pulled me after him and we were sitting on a huge rock barely submerged under the water.
"This is honestly the best night I've had in awhile.", I said looking at him.
"I'm glad.", he said smiling. He stood up and motioned for me to stand up again.
"Dance with me again?", he asked holding out his hand.
"Well of course.", I said taking his outstretched hand and moving to the beat again. This time it was a little faster and the dance was changed up and we were dancing in a totally different way. Club Dancing this time.


Get Low.

Chapter Thirteen


J.B:

I was groggy when I woke up, I just wanted to lie there. My muscles were aching from the day before at the construction site. I finally gained up the strength to crawl out of bed and get ready. I grabbed my keys off the counter and walked into the garage and drove to Kaitlyn's house to pick her up. I didn't stop at the stop sign and was almost hit by a semi, I was too tired to be driving. That was too close. I stopped in front of Kaitlyn's house and I held my head in my hands, I couldn't believe I had just done that.
"What's wrong?", asked Kaitlyn as she got in the car.
"I almost got in a car wreck.", I said with my head still in my hands.
"Want me to drive?", she asked from the passenger side.
"You need to.", I said back. We switched sides and I kissed her as we drove to school.


Becky:
I woke up with Jaylen lying inbetween Donnie and I. My alarm was about to go off but I didn't want to wake up Donnie or Jalyen at 5:30. School didn't start until 9 and Jaylen didn't even have to do.


Becky- Sarah want me to drop off Jaylen at daycare before school?


I didn't expect a reply so I went to take a shower and make sure Aaron was still alive. I walked into his bedroom and found him sure enough with his arm wrapped around a girl he obviously brought home from the party last night. I closed the door and went to take a shower, I quietly grabbed a towel and some clothes. I turned on the water and stepped in.
When I got out I saw I had a message, it was 6:15 but I still didn't expect a message from Sarah yet.


Sarah- Please do and I'll see you at school in a few.


Becky- No problem, love ya and see you soon.


I set my phone down and dried my hair and styled it quickly. I walked out into the hallway and down the Aaron's room. I slammed my fists on the door and opened it. The girl he brought home was wide awake and a little shocked to see me.
"If you go to our school, get up.", I said walking over to Aaron. I slapped him across the face and he jolted awake.
"School, let's get a move on.", I yelled at him as I walked out of his bedroom and back to mine. Jaylen was lying awake in bed rubbing her eyes.
"Hi cutie, ready to go to daycare?", I asked her as I looked through my drawers for something she could wear.
"Yea!", she yelled still tired. I still had some clothes in my dresser that I had worn as a toddler, it was for a life skills project a couple weeks ago. I dressed her and put her shoes on. I took her downstairs and sat her in a dining chair.
"What do you want for breakfast Jaylen?", I asked her looking through the fridge.
"Apwell swauce!", she said in her cute tone of voice. Sure enough we had Apple sauce in the refridgerator. I poured her some in a bowl and put a napkin on her in act of a bib. I walked back upstairs to wake Donnie up so we could get going.


Sarah:
I woke up at Zack's house, I was sleeping in his bed and when I turned over he was on top of the comforter with a seperate blanket. It was 6:15 and I had a message from Becky on my phone. I slipped out of bed and replied to it. I looked around for my purse, I had planned to stay over so I brough some clothes with me. I pulled out my tights and put a pair of ripped jeans on over them. I walked into the bathroom and fixed my hair and make up. When I walked back into his bedroom he was still asleep. I didn't want to wake him up so I texted Becky and told her to come pick me up from Zack's house. I wrote him a note and left it on the bathroom mirror.


I went to School, Becky gave me a ride.
Don't be late for work Mr. Starbucks
Talk to you when you wake up :)


I stood outside Zack's house waiting for Becky. Soon enough I saw her car down the road and I hopped in as we drove to get coffee and drop off Jaylen before school.


Brent:
I was so hungover from the night before and I knew Aaron and Collin were feeling the exact same thing as I was. I was just lying there in bed, I had to have been there at least an hour before I finally had enough will power to drag myself out of bed and to the shower. I was going to be late to school, that's all there was to it. I planned to be late.


Collin:
I got in my car and started to drive to school, it was already 8:45. I had overslept this morning so I had no time to go and get coffee. I knew Brent was going to be late today, I never understood why I kept going to parties on Sunday night, I just woke up hungover and exhausted the next morning. It made no sense. Maybe it made sense to Brent but not to me.
This was my typical Monday morning.
I pulled into the school parking lot and saw everybody standing out by their cars drinking coffee and waiting for the bell to ring, it was always cold in the mornings even if it was April. The bell rang and everyone migrated to the school building, I heard Brent's car pull in and park so I stopped and waited for him to catch up. I finally heard footsteps behind me so I started walking slowly.
"Crazy party last night.", he said as he stopped next to me.
"We have got to stop partying on Sunday nights Brent, it's too much.", I said walking up the steps into the school building.

Chapter Fourteen


Becky:
We all sat in class, it was normal Monday morning. Nothing special was happening today and everything was normal. All the parties last night sure didn't help anyone in my class, everyone was already half asleep and we were only halfway through the day. This was going to be a great week.


Zack:
I woke up and Sarah wasn't sleeping on the other side of my bed, I threw the side blanket off of me and slipped out of bed. I walked into the bathroom and found her note. I had completely forgot about work today! It was already 12:45, I had to be at work by 2:00. Great. I got in the shower and cleaned up. When I got up I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked to my closet tossing my uniform onto my bed. I got dressed, texted Sarah and looked for my car keys, when I found them I grabbed my bag and walked out to my car.


Sarah:
I got a text from Zack but I was in math so I couldn't look at it. I was tapping my pencil against my desk trying to make time go by a little faster, that's all I wanted. I needed this week to be over already, I needed school to be over already. Senior year was almost over but what didn't help was that College came right after Senior year.

Chapter Fifteen


Becky:
It was Friday, we had made it through the week, YES SPRING BREAK! I had been waiting for Spring Break for way too long. Last Spring Break of High School, I was going to enjoy this. We were all in math class and I was texting to pass the time. The bell finally rang and I dashed out of that room like no other, I was the first out and the first to my car. I was ready to leave this school, I needed a break so badly.


Sarah:
When the bell rang everyone dashed out and I think Becky was the first. Everyone had been anticipating Spring Break all week. I got my stuff and dashed out of math, I didn't even want to hear the last words my teacher had to say. I starting walking down the steps towards the parking lot where I saw Zack's car parked on the curb. I had been driving to Starbucks everyday and talking to him as he worked but I hadn't expected him to be here at my school waiting for me. We had been hanging out everyday hour after hour, it had definately been amazing.
"What are you doing here?", I asked as I got in the passenger side.
"I'm off today and we need to hang out.", he said smiling at me.
"Let's do it!", I yelled throwing my hands in the air.
"What are you doing all Spring Break sweetie?", he asked.
"Spending it all at your house remember?", I said looking at him.
"Oh really?", he asked with his look.
"Yep. All week.", I said back.
"Then we should go get some coffee.", he said and put the car in drive.
Hello Spring Break!
