Millburn, NJ (Carter's Parking Lot) (Saturday, October 1st) (Noah's Perspective)
"Alright, you ready?"
"Duh!" Bella, Leia, and Mady giggled in the backseat.
"Calm down, sir. Alright. Press the start button and keep your hands here. Gently press on the gas."
"Don't crash No-No," Leia said.
"Being in the car with you 4 girls makes me nervous. Just please don't say anything."
"It's a good thing Morgan isn't here." Bella joked. I just had to roll my eyes. I pressed the gas and the car was moving.
"Alright, now turn left. Press that button for the blinker."
"Noah, you're driving really slow!" Mady said.
"He can't help it, he's not very good at it," Bella said.
"Girls. It takes practice to be a good driver." Mom allowed me to go on one of the less busy streets. We were the only ones on it. The speed limit was 40 so I decided that 25 would be good. Maybe driving isn't as easy as Ace makes it look.
"You're doing pretty good for your first time, Noah. Have you been taking my car behind my back?!" She joked.
"M-ooom!"
"Noah, don't freak out and crash! I have to keep my face beautiful for my dance competition!" Leia said with a smile.
"And I need my feet for soccer!"
^^^^^^^^^^^
Short Hills Mall (2:34 PM)
After our driving lesson, we decided to go to the mall. We haven't been to this one in a super long time (my mom hates going to Jersey, I think it's a cop thing) so everyone was kind of excited.
"Mommy, could we get Gucci?" Leia asked while holding Mady's hand.
"Gucci? Daddy won't even buy me that, pumpkin." The two of them giggled.
"Bella, look, there's your favoriteee store. Lululemon." She nodded and gave a short smile. Mom might not be able to notice, since she's juggling the whole world in her hands, but Bella's not..fully herself. I mean she didn't even drink before this summer, at least, not that I knew of. As we walked around, I thought about the way she's been acting lately. Her reactions are off and she was way moodier than usual at times.
"You know you can't keep doing this all school year, right?" She rolled her eyes.
"Leave it alone, Noah. You're not any better." She whispered angrily.

Soho (Prince St.) (Tuesday, Oct. 3rd) (Bella's Perspective)
Me, Julie, and Paisley get out early like three days a week so we like to go downtown and shop a little before we have to go to dance or whatever we're doing that day.
"Isn't this necklace so cute?"
"Yes, get it!" I said to Pais.
"Ugh, sports season is upon us. We won't be able to waste time doing absolutely nothing anymore."
"I know...it's gonna suck," Julie said.
"We should do something, what about this weekend? What's everyone's plans?"
"I think we're going to the Hamptons?"
"Same."
"Okay, so then we should all meet up and practice and the Y! Volleyball tryouts are in a week, so we need to perfect our form." Oh right, I forgot about that. Honestly, I'm not sure if I even want to be on the volleyball team. While I can certainly play a bit, dance and gymnastics were always my strong suit.
"Y-Yeah! That would be great." I said nervously.
"Omg, we're gonna look so cute in our uniforms!" Paisley said.
"The booty shorts! Jake would be all over that Bell-Bell." I blushed.
"Sureee. Jake's actually kind of shy sometimes, you know?"
"Oh wow, I wouldn't have guessed from his tough athlete dude thing that he's got going on! Do tell!"
"Not in public!" I giggled.
^^^^^^^^^^
My Room (5:55 PM)
"It's almost done," I whispered. My stash of vodka. If I keep taking from the cabinet downstairs, Mom and Dad are gonna know. But if I take....I can take enough to get me through the weekend. Ugh, I hate this.
"BELLA!!!!"
"Oh for fuc-"
"Bella, you have to take us to Milano! You promised!" Madelyn said while pouting.
"Yeah, you said if we left you alone and let you do your boring studying we'd go to get sandwiches and snacks," Leia added, still in her neat bun and dance leotard.
"I'm really busy though, I need to finish my psych homework."
"But Bell-Bell you promised," Madelyn said.
"Fine."
"YAY!"
"I want the Dalton sandwich with extra bacon!" Leia giggled. I guess I'll have to figure that dilemma out later.Everything's so stressful. I got the psych test, I have to go practice for tryouts when I don't even think I want to be on the team...
Then there's the other stuff.
