Chap 12

“Can you do me a favor?” my mother asked me and

I nodded. She struggled to decorate the highest part

of the Christmas tree so Jeremiah grabbed the

decorations and started decorating it.

“What is it?” I asked her, quirking an eyebrow.

“Make a run for me,” she told me and I furrowed my

eyebrows.

“Aren’t the stores closed? It’s Christmas Eve, mom,” I

told her and she shook her head.

“I don’t mean the stores, hun; I mean downtown,”

she informed me. I gave her a confused look.

“What? Why?” I asked, staring at her as she

continued cooking dinner.

“Just go; they’re having something for the teenagers

there; your cousin’s going to be there,” she told me.

“Percy?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. She

nodded. “But he’s not a teenager.”

“I know. He’s the DJ; it’s in the minor’s club,” she told

me and I gave her an annoyed look.

“Why can’t I just stay home?” I asked, letting out a

huff as I sat on the couch.

“I promised Percy that you’d go,” she told me and I

sighed. “Now go change into something warm.”

I went upstairs and changed from my pajamas into

a pair of jeans and a large sweater. I put on my

boots and I grabbed my purse, galloping downstairs

after I French braided my hair in the mirror. I rarely

dress up and when I do, my brother makes a big

deal about it. “Are you going to try and win Jonah

back?”

I glared at him. “Shut up, you idiot.” He laughed

before stealing a cookie and running back upstairs. I

wonder if Jonah’s going. Yeah, probably with

Waverly. My mother smiled at me.

“Go and have fun, call me before you come home,”

she grinned.

“When’s my curfew?” I asked as I stole a cookie. She

narrowed her eyes but the playful smile never left

her face. She pursed her lips.

“10,” I raised my eyebrows and my jaw dropped

slightly.

“It takes an hour to get downtown, mom. It’s 7,” I

told her and she did the math before sighing.

“Can I trust you?” she asked, pulling her lips into her

mouth. I nodded…hopefully she can.

“Yes,” I assured her verbally. She closed her eyes

before looking at me.

“Midnight, but if you’re home a minute later, I’ll skin

you alive,” she threatened and I nodded, a smile

finding its way across my face.

I took sixty dollars with me. I hope that’s enough. It’s

all I had. Well, I only had thirty dollars and my mom

helped me out with the other thirty. Actually, I had

seventy. I forgot about the ten dollars that I won

from Jeremiah because I beat him in checkers.

I decided to call Sierra back after I noticed that she

called me. “Hello?”

“Hey, you finally returned my call,” Sierra laughed as

I got into my car. It was dark and I wasn’t a big fan

of driving in the dark. I turned on my car and turned

up the heat to let it warm up.

“Yeah, anyway, why’d ya call?” I asked her. I heard

her tell someone she’d be back.

“Did you hear about that thing downtown for

teenagers? Are you going?” she asked and I smiled.

At least I’d know someone there.

“Yeah, I’m actually getting ready to go. Are you

there?” I asked her.
