I heard that pictures don't change
Just the people inside of 'em do
Whoever told you that life would be easy
I promise that person was lyin' to you
You got a problem with followin' through

Michela was going to sleepover at the Belasco's house. She wasn't entirely sure if she should because of Kenzee but Nicholas, Jesse, and Brandon were begging her yesterday to stay over a night. Michela never really brings a change of clothes because Nicholas always has some of hers or Ashley's clothes. Michela told Jake that she was going to sleep over and Jake told her to be careful and to not let Kenzee get to her. Michela got to the house at 1 on Saturday. She was thinking of barging in and decided that she will not stop doing that. She took out her key and unlocked the door. She entered the house and smirked when she saw Nicholas standing behind the couch. She decided, since she barely sees her best friend nowadays, she was going to surprise him. Michela snuck up behind him and jumped on his back.

"Surprise!!!"

Nicholas shrieked a girlish scream and fell forward. The two best friends flipped over the couch and landed harshly onto the floor. The two groaned. Nicholas opened his eyes and glared at his best friend.

"Damn Mickey, Whyyyyy?!"

Michela smirked.

"I saw an opportunity,"

Jesse, Brandon, Justin, and Kenzee came rushing down, hearing the girlish scream.

"We heard a girl screaming, what happened?"

Michela laughed. The four walked to the couch and saw the two on the floor in front of the couch. Jesse and Brandon's eyes brightened.

"MICKEY!!!"

They jumped over the couch and landed on the poor girl. Michela glared at the two boys that were now on her and Nicholas groaned because now he has THREE people on top of him. Michela smiled

"Why hello there Jess and Brandy,"

The two boys frowned.

"We missed you,"

Michela smiled brightly at them,

"I missed you too!"

She hugged them, which was relatively easy because she was facing them from Nicholas' stomach. Nicholas sighed.

"Well, I miss NOT having three people on top of me."

The three laughed at the adult. Michela smirked.

"I dare say, Nickey, I AM rather comfortable right now, how about you two?"

Jesse and Brandon smiled and nodded. Nicholas groaned and looked at his brother.

"Help me, Justin, you're my only hope,"

Michela laughed at the Star Wars reference. Justin smiled.

"I don't know man, they seem like they are in charge at the moment."

Kenzee giggled but was really trying hard to hide a glare that she wanted to give Michela. Jesse looked at his brother.

"Fine, I guess I'll get off,"

Jesse got off and so did Brandon, so now it was just Michela and Nicholas. Nicholas rolled his eyes.

"Are you going to get off of me anytime soon?"

Michela smirked at her best friend.

"But Nickey, I thought you said you missed me,"

Michela pouted at him and Nicholas smiled at her.

"Of course I did, but I do not miss you messing with me 24/7,"

Michela laughed and shrugged.

"Hey, I'm a package deal,"

Nicholas laughed.

"Well, I'm getting up now, whether you are still on me or not,"

Michela shrugged.

"Okay,"

Nicholas rolled his eyes. He grabbed Michela around the waste, and with some skills that he somehow developed over the years, he started getting up and Michela yelped out in shock as he got up and was now carrying her in his arms. Michela pouted.

"That's not fair."

Nicholas chuckled.

"Well getting tackled from behind isn't fair either,"

Michela shrugged in defeat.

"Fine fine."

Nicholas laughed. He never wins when it comes to Michela, they usually just mutually agree on something, or Michela wins the argument.

"About time I win something,"

Michela laughed and then Nicholas dropped her.

"Ow!"

Everyone laughed, especially Kenzee. Michela glared at Nicholas.

"I see how it is traitor,"

Nicholas smirked and nodded. Michela gasped,

"After 11 years of being best friends! This is how I'm treated!"

Michela looked away dramatically as everyone laughed again. Michela stuck out her tongue at Nicholas. Nicholas smiled,

"Oh come on, don't be like that Mickey,"

Michela glared at him and Nicholas smiled,

"Well, if it makes you feel better, my parents love you,"

Kenzee frowned in immediate jealousy. Michela's eyes brightened at the mention of his parents.

"I love them too! They are waaayyyyy nicer than you guys...I wonder what happened,"

The boys shouted in protest. Michela shrugged.

"Simply stating the truth,"

Brandon was the one to finally help her up. Michela smiled brightly at him,

"About time one of you guys learned manners, I swear Nickey, I need to tell Ash to teach you manners."

Nicholas groaned because they already had this talk before,

"Not again,"

Jesse and Brandon laughed. Justin smirked

"You had that talk with your girlfriend before?"

Nicholas glared at Michela,

"Someone was not happy that I dumped water on her a few years ago,"

Michela shrugged

"It was cold,"

Everyone laughed again except Kenzee because she can feel the hatred growing in her again. Nicholas looked at Michela again and smiled.

"Well, let's get ready for a movie!"

Kenzee looked at Michela again and came up with a brilliant idea.

"Hey, Michela, do you want to take a walk with me for a bit? We can catch up...it feels like I haven't talked to you in FOREVER,"

Michela knew this was a bad idea because she knows that Kenzee has something bad to say, especially if she is asking for her to go with her alone. Michela shrugged and nodded.

"Sure, I'm down for a walk,"

Kenzee smiled happily

"Yay!"

Everyone smiled. Nicholas was happy that Michela and Kenzee got along for the most part.

With Michela and Kenzee

         Michela and Kenzee walked in silence until they were a few minutes away. Kenzee then turned to Michela and Michela could see the FURY in her eyes.

        "What the FUCK did I tell you about STAYING AWAY from my boyfriend and his family you ignorant SLUT?!"

        Michela flinched slightly especially when Kenzee slapped her in the face. Michela was in shock that Kenzee slapped her. Kenzee continued to glare at her.

        "I will tell you one last time. Stay away and just leave us now. Or you will regret everything. Hand over your key"

        Michela wanted to say she will not stay away from her other family...but she knew that Kenzee won't stop, and she wants to make sure that her boys are kept safe...even if she can't see them. Michela looked at her.

        "Just tell them that my mom called saying that something important came up..."

        Michela handed over her key to the house as Kenzee smirked.

        "Will do Miss Kastle."

        Michela sighed and started walking away. Kenzee smirked at her victory over the teenager. Michela, once she knew that Kenzee was gone, called Jack!:

(Bold is Jake)

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be with the boys at a sleepover?"

"I left,"

"What? Why??"

"She threatened me again,"

"That little bitch...where are you? I'll come pick you up,"

"No, you don't have to...it's fine Jake,"

"What? No it's not...I have half a mind to march right up to their door and knock Kenzee out, or maybe Bryce can do it,"

        Michela chuckled.

"No, I'm just going to go home I guess after calling Ashley, I haven't talked to her in a few weeks,"

"But your mother might be concerned since you NEVER go home early from hanging out with Nicholas,"

"It's fine Jake, really...take the night to chill with Bryce...no babies on my watch though! I'm too young for that shit,"

        Jake laughed.

"Of course not, I'm too young too!"

        Michela laughed again.

"Bye Jake, I'll talk to you later,"

"Bye Ella, say the word and Bryce and I will storm that house and knock that bitch out"

        Michela laughed and hung up.
