"Will you marry me?" Henry croaked

Tears swelled up in Monetts eyes. She didn't say anything. I don't think she could. I stared at Monett anxiously waiting for her to say something. Henry was going to faint if she kept him waiting any longer.

"no" she says "I love you Henry but I can't marry you"

Now it Henry's turn to be speechless

"Henry, we're too young. We're in high school for crying out loud. I'm still 17. I can't even vote. Or even buy a fucking lottery ticket. We're not ready."

"I am"

"I'm not. I'm sorry"

She stands up from her chair and leaves. Hazel and Louise follow her to the bathroom.

And then I notice someone else is missing

"Where's Max?" I ask

"Outside" says Delaney rolling her eyes

"Is he ok?"

"I don't really care"

"Well, I'm gonna go check on him"

"Of course you are" she mutters

I see Max outside sitting on a bench. The cigarette placed between his fingers intrigues me.

"Since when do you smoke?" I ask

He doesn't answer but he throws the cigarette away.

"Soo what just happened?" I ask sitting next to him

"I'm not even sure anymore. I think Delaney broke up with me"

"Are you upset?"

"Actually I couldn't care less"

"I'm not sure if that's good or bad" I chuckle

"Me neither" he smiles crookedly "so what happened in there?"

"Henry proposed to Monett"

"Really?" He smiles "I didn't think he would actually do it"

"She said no"

"Fuck"

"And then she ran to the bathroom to cry"

"That sucks"

"Yea"

I stay outside with Max for the rest of the dinner. I get so annoyed with drama. I hope miles doesn't get mad.

About thirty minutes later, everyone comes out of the restaurant. Monetts eyes are red and puffy and Henry just looks straight up depressed. Delaney looks mad and Miles has a grin on his face. I'm guessing they were arguing (as usual). Everyone else just looked done.

"Well" says hazel "I guess it's time to head our separate ways"

We say goodbye and head to our cars. I'm riding in the car with Miles Adam and Courtney. We all live pretty close from each other.

Miles and I are in the back seat and he keeps kissing me and tickling me.

"Stop making out!" Yells Adam

"We're not" I laugh

Miles' hands wander everywhere so he can tickle me. He doesn't have trouble at all. I'm insanely ticklish.

"Stop" I laugh but I'm caught off by Miles' lips on mine

It probably would have turned into a hot makeout session but Adam threw a pillow pet at out faces and screamed "PDA"

I am the first one to get dropped off.

"Let me walk you to your house" offers Miles already getting out of the car

We walk to the front steps where we kiss one last time while Miles flicks Adam off.

As I'm about to open the door, someone from the other side does it first. My eyes widen in shock.

"Sam!" I scream and hug my brother

Yes, I have a brother. I never mention him because I never see him. He's 22 and he lives in Brooklyn. My brother and I are pretty close. I missed him like crazy.

After all of the hugging Sam notices Miles.

"And this is?" He asks me

"Miles" I say

"I know that, smart ass" he smirks

"But who is he" he says moving his eyebrows up and down

"He's my boyfriend" I giggle

"Well that's a relief. Friends don't makeout on front steps."

"That's because we're more than friends"

"Well I know that now" he smiles

He tells us to come in and have a seat. We accept his offer and Miles motions for Adam to not wait for him. Sam gives us some coffee and we talk on the couch for a while.

"I'm going to take a shower..." I say

"Ok" says Sam

I'm about to go in my bathroom but I hear something that intrigues me.

"So Miles" says Sam "where do you work?"

Oh crap. He's giving the talk. The big brother 'ill stab you with a butter knife if you hurt her' talk

"I tutor kids"

"Interesting. Do you know what you want your career to be?"

"No, not yet" answers Miles

"Hm, have you gotten anyone pregnant?"

Miles chokes a little from the sudden question

"No sir" he chuckles

"Have you and my little sister ever done... the nasty?"

Fuck. What the hell is he doing.

"No sir" answers Miles

Miles is a good liar. I hope Sam believes him.

"Alright" says Sam "that's enough torture for one day"

Miles is never going to want to come over again.

I wet my hair so it looks like I was in the shower and change my clothes. I'm so sneaky. I should be a detective.

"I need to get to my house now. I promised I'll be home before dinner" says Miles

"I'll drive you" I say "because frankly, you don't really have a choice"

"Nice seeing you Miles" smiles Sam waving goodbye

Miles waves back.

"I am so sorry" I say once were in the car

"What did you do?" Asks Miles

"What? Nothing, I meant about Sam. I heard the whole thing"

"Oh that's no big deal, I thought I handled it pretty well. He's just taking care of you" he says

"Yea I know" I smile

"He asked me if we've had sex" he laughs

"I heard" I say feeling my face get red

"You're so cute" he giggles

"What?" I ask

"Your face still gets red when the topic is mentioned" he smiles

"I'm not uncomfortable with the topic, it's just embarrassing" I explain

"You shouldn't be embarrassed"

But those words just make my face brighter.
