Yay, I did it! Lemme just say, y'all are too nice! Thank you for sticking with me this long, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
" What about this one?" Bexley held up a dress.
" It's too..."
" Sparkly?" Cara offered.
" Yes." JoJo nodded.
" Okay, ballgown?" Bexley continued through the racks.
" Too-"
" Big?"
" Yes." JoJo nodded.
" JoJo!" Penny ran up.
" Come look." Penny grabbed her hand, dragging her away. Penny brought her up to a rack. The little girl pointed to a dress.
" Thats....perfect." JoJo grabbed into off the rack. She was whisked away to a dressing room.
She came out moments later wearing a gorgeous flowy dress.
" Penny, I think you chose a good one." Cara nudged the young girl.
" Do you like it?" Penny asked hopefully.
" I love it." JoJo grinned.
" Is that the dress?" Bexley asked.
" I think so." JoJo nodded.
oOOo
" You guys already found a dress?" Josh asked as he and Bexley worked around each other in the kitchen.
" Yessir." Bexley nodded.
" Where did you find your dress again?" Josh smirked.
" A thrift store." Bexley replied sassily.
" And you looked beautiful." He wrapped his arms around her waist.
" Awe." She looped her arms around his neck.
" Ew." Penny slowly backed away.
" You tell 'em!" Ben called from the couch.
" Your fiancee's dress is amazing, by the way." Bexley shouted.
" She looks amazing in anything." Ben replied.
" EW!" Penny wrinkled her nose.
" Hey, babe." JoJo plopped on the couch next to Ben.
" Cara! They're being yucky!" Penny ran down the hall.
" They're being yucky?" Cara's head popped out her door.
" She hates love." Ben laughed.
" I never want to be all yucky with someone." Penny shook her head.
" Oh, just you wait!" Bexley called.
" I won't!" Penny shouted back.
" What won't Penny do?" Sky let himself in.
" She doesn't think she'll fall in love and be all lovey dovey and stuff." JoJo grinned.
" Oh, boy. Her teenage years are gonna be fun." Sky chuckled.
" You two are gross too." Penny pointed to Cara and Sky. Neither of them had talked since their little make out session on the balcony the a few days back.
" What?" JoJo knit her eyebrows.
" Sky and Cara were kissing on the balcony...a lot." Penny looked utterly disgusted.
" What?" Ben perked up in intrest.
" Penny." Cara's eyes widened.
" Penny, sweetie, what exactly did you see?" Bexley pulled herself out of Josh's arms.
" They were talking and then Cara grabbed Sky and started kissing him. And then Sky pushed her against the railing. It's was gross." Penny made a face. Sky was basically as red as his hair and Cara's eyes were about as wide as they could get.
" You just got exposed by a six year old." Ben bit back a laugh.
oOOo
" So..." Sky trailed off. Him and Cara snuck off into her room to talk.
" So..." Cara repeated, sitting on her bed.
" Look, Cara-"
" Sky, I love you, but you did break my heart." Cara started.
" Oh, straight to the point then." Sky plopped down in a chair. Cara did not look impressed.
" Sorry, um..." He glanced at the floor.
" Cara, I still love you. I never stopped. And what I did was stupid and dumb and idiotic and awful and-"
" Sky." Cara called.
" Right, sorry." He slowed down.
" I want a second chance, if you're willing to give it to me." Sky stated.
" You just have to promise me, that next time my mother threatens to cut me off of my inheritance, thet you'll talk to me." She said.
" Promise." He nodded.
oOOo
" We have a problem." Bexley said. She had just gotten off the phone with Penny's case worker, and she didn't have great news.
" What's wrong?" Josh asked.
" Penny's mom wants to fight for her." Bexley sighed.
" But, she can't do that. Can she?"
" Technically, she is Penny's mother." Bexley looked at the ground.
" But-"
" Josh, we have no control over what happens next." Bexley rubbed her temples. Josh sighed, sitting next to her.
" Am I gonna be taken away?" Penny appeared at the doorway.
" Come here, sweetie." Bexley opened her arms. Penny ran over, climbing into Bexley's lap.
" You're gonna be fine." Bexley promised vaguely.
" You're lying." Penny accused.
" Pen-"
" You both are lying to me! I'm gonna be taken away, again!" Penny cried.
" We have no control over that." Bexley said, holding back the tears. Penny pried herself out of Bexley's arms, running off. Bexley basically collapsed into Josh.
" What are we gonna do?" Bexley sighed.
