Taken
Chapter
5
It was
Friday, and I still hadn't found a way to
go to the party tonight. I throw on a pink
t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and my choclate
brown boots. I check my hair in the mirror,
curled today, grab my stuff and head out the
front door.
"Arianna, wait!"
"Yeah, mom?"
"I just wanted to remind you that
you're babysitting tonight."
"I know mom. I gotta go, bye!"
"Okay, bye sweetie!"
I run outside and jump in Ben's car.
"Hey babe."
"Hi Ben."
"What took you so long in
there?"
"My mom had to remi-" I remember
that I never told him about me having to
babysit.
"Your mom had to remind you of
what?"
I guess I had to tell him now. "I'm
supposed to babysit tonight."
"But, the party-"
I interupted him. "I know. She told me I
had to babysit before I told her about the
party, and she wouldn't let me get out of
it."
"There has to be some way to get you to
that party."
"I haven't thought of any."
"Well, are you're parents going to
be out really late, or like, how
long."
"Probably pretty late. They're going
out to dinner with their friends, then to a
bar."
"You're parents have
friends?"
I laughed. "Apparently."
"Well, just leave right after you're
brothers go to bed. Get them to go to bed
early, like seven."
I gave him an are-you-serious look.
"I'll be lucky if I can get them in
bed by midnight."
"There has to be some way. Get someone
else to babysit."
"You don't think I've though of
that? Everyone's busy. I can't go to
the party." We pulled into the school
parking lot. Ben looked upset. I felt
horrible.
"Fine. But you have to tell the
girls."
Oh, how fun. "That's fine Ben.
I'll see you at lunch. I'm so
sorry."
"It's fine. I can't stay mad at
you, just look at that face!"
I shake my head. "You really need to
stop lying. You could go to Hell for
that."
"Not if I'm telling the
truth."
"Whatever. See you at lunch."
"Love you," he says and give me a
quick peck on the lips.
I blush. "I love you too. See you at
lunch."
"Bye."
Such a boring chapter
after such a long wait. I'll have another
one up soon though, guys, I promise. Again,
I'm so sorry about how long I
took.
