"It took you almost ten years to finally confess!" Layla practically screamed from excitement. She is literally jumping up and down on my bed with a huge smile on her face.

I called her the first second I got once I took a bath. I still haven't called the girls. SHE haven't let me. Once I told her she came running and didn't let me hang up the phone. Now that she is here and she still won't let me call them until I gave her the full details about how it happened and where are we going  

Two thing I needed to lie about. The lies just keep coming. It like a tiny snowball rolling down a huge hill of snow, getting bigger and bigger. I hate lying to her. I hate lying to them.

I hate lying period. No exception

Before you guys say something about me lying to Cris for years. I have never lied to him. I just withheld information. Two very different things.

"I know that, Layla. Don't have to tell me. Plus, it wasn't me who asked for a date." I said shrugging. I know I have to pretend to be happy but I just can't. What he said once he left crashed that feeling once I closed the bathroom door. I wanted to be happy but I knew that for him this was all pretend, all a lie.

"How did it happened? Tell me now!" she said settling down beside me on the bed

"Let me borrow you phone first. Once you got here mom took hers away" I said grabbing it. Wanting to tell the girls

More like needing because that was the plan

"No. You tell me first. That's the deal. Now tell me" she said moving the phone away from my grasp

"Fine." I said nodding and putting my hands up in the air in form of defeat.

"Well, speak up!" she said eagerly

"It was normal. He asked me out in a normal boy and girl way. I don't know what you want me to say"

In all honesty I don't even know what to say

"Tell me the story, tell me how"

"I was in the kitchen and he came in and asked for me forgiveness and since you know I don't like people saying the words 'I am sorry' he asked me on a date to prove to me he really is sorry" I said shrugging one more time and getting up from the bed. Lying to her makes me feel uncomfortable and unease. I fucking hate it.

"That's it? No flowers? No chocolate?" she asked and by the look on her face she looked disappointed and sad

"That it" I said nodding to her

"That explains why you sad. I would be too" she said laying down on the bed

"I am not sad. I am very happy" I said trying to convince the both of us from that bullshit lie. It clearly didn't work

"Stop lying to me. I would be disappointed too if my crush of ten years asked my out like I was nothing special" her head turn to me and looked at me with understanding

Oh if only she knew

"Yes it is a little disappointed the way he asked me but he asked me. Since when does Cristian Conner go on dates?" I said justifying him.

Why?

I don't know. He didn't even asked me. I am so fucking pathetic.

"Well, yes I can see your point..." she said connecting the dots in her head "but still this is special. This is your night, you need to make it special"

"What do you mean" I asked walking towards her

"Well, you are going to your first date with your crush. This is huge, T. This should be special and if he doesn't make it special then you do it."

"He doesn't know how I feel towards him and I want it to keep it the way... for now" I said

"Then take the matter into your own hands. Make it special. Make it special. You deserve at least that."

I do deserve that but it's not a date. It's all a lie. All pretended.

"You are right, I will" I respond with a nod.

"Good, I'm very happy for you, T" she said getting up from the bed and hugging me 

That makes one of us

"Thanks, now can you please give me your phone. I want to tell the girls so they can come and help me prepare" I said standing my hand so she could give me the phone

One by one I told them. One by one I could hear the screams of excitement from them. My ears were practically bleeding once I finished talking to them. I still have to tell my mother

The horror that's waiting for me

Do I have to?

This is all she ever wanted since I spilled my guts to her about my tiny crush on Cris. This going to be hell

"I am going downstairs to tell mom. Do you want to come with me and endure the torture with your best friend?" I gave her my puppy eyes

"Nop you are on your own now" she said laughing at me while turning the TV on.

"Great friend I have" I whispered under my breathe and turning to the door, opening it.

"Thanks for the support bitch!" I screamed at her while rolling my eyes and closing the door behind me

"NO CURSING IN THE HOUSE" mom voice screamed form downstairs

Dame it!

"SORRY" I screamed back

I followed the voice into the dining room. She was there reading and writing some work papers. I am glad that thing are looking up for her. I am very proud of her and how far she has come.

"Hey, mama" I said taking a sit beside her

Now I am feeling kind of nervous. I know how she is going to react but at the same time I AM lying to her. What if she sees it?

What if she sees right through me? Through my lie?

Bad idea. Bed idea!

"What so you want?" she asked setting the papers aside and looking at me with a bored face

"Cris asked me out" I whispered not sure if she heard me with how low I said it. I looked down at the table not seeing her reaction

"Don't play with me, T. Tell me what you want?" she said sighting and shaking her head

"He asked me out on a date" I said more confident but still not looking up from the

"It's not funny. Don't play like that" she said getting up from the chair, looking down at me.

I finally looked at her "I am not playing"

Her eyes almost popped out of her face. You could feel the happiness and excitement rolling out of her like waves, hitting full force.

"YES! FINALLY!" she screamed at the top of her longs. Jumping from excitement with her hand up in the air. Her face had a huge big ass smile, making her look young.

"MY BABY IS GOING ON A DA-" god she was screaming so loud. I had to put my hands on my ears. By now the whole house know. I hope that Cris don't find this strange.

I cut her off. Not wanting Dylan to storm down here and make a big deal about this.

"MOM! Stop screaming. I don't want Dylan to know" I said rushing up from my sit and taking her hands and bringing them down

"Let's be reasonable Truth. One: he is going to find out sooner or later and Two: it's you! You are going on a DATE."

"Yes, mama, I know. I am happy too just celebrate quieter" I said letting her go and sitting back down

"Fine" she rolled her eyes at me and sat back down with me

"When is it going to be" she asked me anxiously

"Tomorrow night" I whispered again. This is the part where I am a little hesitant. For two thing: School Night. Grounded.

"Tomorrow night?!" I nodded and looked down at the table

"Do you have something to wear for it? Did you go shopping?!" she said getting up again from her chair.

God this women, stay still.

Making me all nervous

"Yes I think have something in the closet" I nodded and shrugged at the same time

"You think?!" she started to pace around the dining room, thinking.

"No mom I know. You have bought me a lot of thing I haven't worn yet" I said trying to calm her down

"That good, that good" she said nodding but still was pacing around

"Does this means that I could go?" I asked

"You are going. You have to" she said truing to me and pointing at me.

"Good, then I have to sleep now. By the way the girls are coming tomorrow to help me" I said getting up walking toward the door and smiling at her.

She nodded and smiled back

I left knowing that she started dancing once I step out of the dining room.

"What was that?" Dylan's voice scared me

"Nothing important" I said starting to walk to the stairs

"If it's not important then why is mom screaming?" he asked walking behind me

"Because I gave her some news" I sighted wanting to drop ths conversation.

"What news?"

"Don't you have someone to bang or something? What's with all the questions?" I said heading up. Taking each step faster than the other

"No, I don't. Why are you not answering me?" he asked but I was already opining my door

"Because it's none of your damn business!" I stepped inside and closed the door on his face.

That is so much better. Peace and quiet

"NO CURSING IN THE HOUSE!" I heard from all around the house

This family will drive me crazy one day, I swear

"What was that all about?" Layla said once I stepped into the comfort of my bed with her

"Dylan being Dylan" I said rolling my eyes

"I heard your mom took it well" she said in a mocking voice

"You heard right" I rolled my eyes at her and sighted "are you staying the night?"

"As a matter of fact yes. I need to see what you have in the closet for tomorrow" she said smiling at me

"Go right ahead that closet id all your"

She got up from the bed and walked into the closet

"What do you what? Sexy? Casual? Fancy? Clowney?" she yelled from inside the closet. She sounded muffled and far.

"Stylish!" I yelled back at her

I still don't know where are we going tomorrow but it won't be anything fancy that's for sure.

"I want something cool and casual. Can you do that?" I asked

"Is that a challenge I hear on you voice? Are you questioning me?" she asked walking out of the closet with a sweater on her hand and pointing at me

"Take it as you please" I shrugged at started paying attention to the television

"Challenge accepted!" she screamed and walked into the closet again

Crazy bitches.

Those are the people that are in my life. Crazy bitches
