" careful okay!?" My mom said and kissed my cheek," mom I'm going to be fine, I'm at Za'Niyah's and things are finally good between us," I said and smiled," yeah I'm going to meet this Za'Niyah girl, she's good for you," my mom said and touched my shoulder, I sighed," now go before dad gets home,oh! Here's the passport, hope Paris is going to be fun," she said and kissed my forehead

" mom...." I said and looked behind me and saw Za'Niyah in my car reading a book, my mom laughed and smiled," hey A'Niayh!" She shouted and waved

Za'Niyah looked up confused," mom it's Za'Niyah..." I said and I saw the horror in my moms eyes, she ran over the the car and crunched down," I'm so sorry I Za'Niyah right? I didn't mean to miss pronounce you're name," she said looked scared," oh it's okay Mrs Evans, people usually call me Za. It's easier," Za'Niyah said and smiled," well I'm going to call you Za'Niyah....right?" She asked and said the name correctly," yeah! You're better then my own friends," she said and laughed

" well I think that we need to go....the airport it's kinda far away," I said and hugged my mom," okay honey, just call if anything comes up okay?" She said and smiled," yeah..love you," I said," love you too," she said and walked to the door and waved

I shook my head while I walked to the drivers door, she still stood there," waved back," Za'Niyah said as hit my shoulder lightly and I did

We then drove away

" okay sorry I asked..." I said and slumped and began reading my book again

" I-I'm sorry, it's just all my dad stuff and daisy being well daisy and then all of us being a thing...it's just a lot of stuff going on," he said and sighed

" I get it Brandon, you've slept in my bed for three weeks now? I took you in because I knew if it was me you would've done the same to me," I said and closed the book

" I've been there, but you won't tell me, you won't let me in. And I can't keep lying to my mom and siblings...." I said frustrated but I didn't mean it," look Brandon-" " no I understand, after Paris I'm going ask Eliot if I can stay with him," he said

Why Eliot?? Is it because of daisy?" Why not Freddie?" I asked and crossed my arms," wow don't even start, I'm not going there to be with daisy. He's my friend," he said and laughed," well Freddie's your friend too," I said and shook my head

I hate being jealous, it's not a good look on anyone," I'm sorry...do whatever you want," I said and placed my head in the window, and closed my eyes

"Za'Niyah..." he said,

I pretended to be asleep," I know you're not sleeping, but okay. Im going to talk to one of my other friends and ask him if I could stay at his for a while," he said
