Mark’s house is an hour and twenty-three minutes away. It's one pm right now. We'll be at his house at 2:23 pm. They drive Mark’s car. Mark has a 2016 Dodge challenger in black and red. On the drive to Mark's house, they start talking about how much fun they had at Lacie's house. Lacie said "It felt amazing. I never had anything better than that."

"I know right? That was amazing and I really want to do it again with you" Mark says.

“I finally got to get out of the house today without my Mom all over me. Like what is wrong with you? I can't leave the house without you all up on me." Lacie says with an attitude.

"uh, what are you talking about babycakes?" asks Mark.

"Oh sorry, I was talking to myself. Go on with what we were really talking about before I got off task." says Lacie.

"Ok, now that we are back on track, I wanted to ask you if you want some ice cream." Mark says.

"Sure why not? Let’s go get some ice cream." said Lacie.

"Ok." Mark says.

They went to get some ice cream before they made it all the way to Mark's house. We are going to get to his house at 2:28 pm now. They got vanilla ice cream with caramel and sprinkles in it. Now we are back on the highway going to Mark's house. Mark is going eighty miles per hour on the highway. Now we'll make it to his house before 2:28 pm. "I'm going to sleep, babe. Wake me up when we get there. I love you." Lacie says.

"Good night babycakes. I'll see you soon." Mark says.

Lacie is already asleep. Mark gives her a kiss on her forehead. "I love that bad little girl so much. I wish she would just do better in school though." Mark says.

They get on highway 64 and today there are not that many cars on the road. Usually, there is a lot of cars on this highway and it gets so backed up in the afternoon. They are really close to home now and it's only 2:00 pm. In ten more minutes, they will be at Mark's house. Mark turns on some music. The music is really loud and it scared Lacie really bad.

Lacie wakes up crying and Mark is trying to get her to calm down. It takes a while to get Lacie to calm down because Mark is trying to drive. When Mark finally gets Lacie to calm down, she falls back to sleep and then he turns the music down. Once they get on highway 94, Mark has to wait for two exits and then they will be at his house. Along the way to his house, Mark sees a sign about a contest. Mark takes a picture and then continues driving. They go on the exit and they finally made it to Mark's house. He wakes up Lacie and they get out of the car.

When Mark unlocked the house door, he saw his Mom standing at the door about to open it. His Mom got super scared. "Mark, You scared me very badly. And who is this?"

"It would be nicer if you just ask her yourself." says Mark.

"Well, I'm so sorry. Who are you and why are you at my house with my son?" Mark's Mom says meanly.

"Well, thank you for asking me my name and my name is Lacie. I'm here with Mark. So leave me alone because I'm not bothering you and what I’m doing has nothing to do with you or your life. So move on somewhere" Lacie said with an attitude.

Mark and I went up to his room. We closed and locked his bedroom door and then waited for his Mom and Dad to leave. Now we can start back up where we left off at my house.

                                          ****************

They both got dressed again before Mark’s parent’s came back. “I’ll be right back babe. I’m going to the store to get a few things.” Mark tells Lacie.

“I will just buy her the necklace that she’s been wanting, a box of chocolate, a card, and a giant stuffed animal.” Mark says to himself.

Mark is at the store now. Mark buys his items and heads back home. Now it’s finally Mark’s turn to pay for his things.

“Your total is $35.65 sir.” the cashier says.

Mark give her the money and then heads off to his house. Mark is only twenty minutes away. He kinda speeds along the way trying to get there as fast as he could.

Mark was on his way to his house now. Elliott starts texting him. Good thing Mark was at the longest red light ever.

Mark is on the highway now. The speed limit is 70 mph and Mark is driving at 70.5 mph. Hopefully, he doesn’t get in trouble because He doesn’t realize how fast he’s going. Lacie wakes up and gives Mark a kiss on his cheek. Being as she can’t really kiss him because he’s driving. Mark smiles and continues driving. Lacie falls back to sleep.

Mark is almost at his house now. He has to wake her up soon. “I’ll just carry her inside the house. She can open up what I got her later.” Mark says to himself. I hope she likes what I got her. I worked really hard on getting it for her. When Mark got to Lacie’s house, he says "Elliott there waiting for him."

“I’ve been here for twenty-five minutes waiting for you and Lacie.” Elliott says.

“Well, could you please be quiet? Lacie is sleeping. I’m going to go put her in the bed.” Mark says.

“Ok, I’ll talk to Lacie later then.” Elliott says.

Mark puts Lacie in his bed and comes back downstairs. Mark went upstairs to see if Lacie was up. “Lacie are you awake babe girl?” Mark asks.

“Yes. I was just getting up out of bed.” Lacie says.

“Ok, I have something to give you. I want you to open it. Get dressed now.” Mark said.

“Oh, yeah sorry. But I’ll meet you downstairs.” Lacie says.

Mark left Lacie’s room and went back downstairs where everyone else was. Mark was getting the things ready that he got her.

“I’m here. Now what was it that you wanted to give me Mark?” Lacie asks.

“Here you go babe girl. I hope you like it.” Mark says.

Lacie opens up the gifts that Mark got her.

“Aw, thanks. You didn’t have to get these for me Mark.” Lacie says in the happiest voice she could do while crying.

“No babe, it’s totally fine. You deserved it anyways.” Mark said.

“Well, thank you again. I love it just as much as I love you.” Lacie says.

“You’re welcome, babe girl. I love you.” Mark says.

“I love you too babe.” Lacie says.

Mark got her a necklace, chocolate, a card, and a stuffed animal.

                                Thirty Minutes Later

“What’s wrong babe?” Lacie asks.

“It’s Clarissa again. She’s being annoying.”Mark says.

“How is that?” Lacie asks.

“She wants me to break up with you just so that I can date her. Like what is wrong with her? I would never do that to you. I love you and want to be with you forever.” Mark said angrily.

“Oh, I didn’t know you felt that way about me. I want to be with you forever too. I love you so much.” Lacie says.

“Lacie, can I ask you something?” Mark asks.

“Yes, of course you can.” Lacie says.

“Will you marry me, Lacie?” Mark asks.

“Yes, I will!” Lacie says while she’s crying.

Lacie’s face is a pinkish-red and she goes to tell her Mom and Dad.

“Mom, Dad, I’m getting married. I haven’t set a date yet. But when I find out I will tell you guys.” Lacie told her parents.

“Yay. We can’t make you change your mind or exactly tell you what to do anymore. If you get married, you’ll have to go live by yourself. You’ll have to be a big girl and pay your own rent and bills. You might just want to wait until you're eighteen years old. But you can get married now if you want to.” Her parents said.

“I know this. This is my decision and I’m ready to get married now. I’m sorry for the way I was acting.” Lacie said.

Taye, which is Lacie’s twin sister, said “I’m happy for you. I just wish that I had some man that loved me.” I said.

“Oh, I have someone that’s perfect for you. His name is Jackson. He likes all the same things you like. I know him very well because he’s my best friend. He’ll be perfect for you!” Lacie said.

“Great! When can I meet him? I need to know. I can’t wait to date him.” I said.

“Well, he said he was looking for a girl with the same interests as him. I’ll just text him and you can meet him right now.” Lacie says confidently.

“He’s on his way.” Lacie says.

“Ok, thank you so much for helping me find a guy. Hopefully, he likes me.” Taye told Lacie.

“Haha. That’s funny. That’s the same thing he said except he’s looking for a girl. But yeah, you’re welcome.” Lacie said.

Taye went back up to her room. “I hope he really is the man my sister says he is. I really just want a happy relationship and life.” Taye says to herself. My room is all black. My walls and ceiling are black in my room.

                                           Twenty Minutes Later

“He’s here, Taye.” Lacie said.

“Ok. Bring him up to my room.” Taye said.

“Hey. Are you Lacie’s sister?” Jackson says softly.

“Yes.” Taye says.

“You look exactly like her. You're really cute.” Jackson says.

“Thanks and a lot of people say that about me.” I said.

“Oh. I really like your room. It’s cool. This is the same way my room is. I have a little color though. I have five simple words to tell you.” Jackson said.

“Ok. Go ahead and say it then. By the way, you’re very sexy. But go on and say what you have to say.” I said.

“Ok, here goes nothing. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!” Jackson said.

“I love you too. Do you want to go on a date?” I asked Jackson.

“Sure! Let’s get ready. I can’t wait to give you something.” I told Jackson.

“Ok, I can’t wait to see what it is that you're going to give me. I love surprises very much.”

“Ok, I’ll give it to you when we get to our very special surprise. I just hope you have fun.” Jackson told her.

Jackson and Taye left to the surprise. Taye was excited to find out what both of the surprises were. She loves surprises so much. Jackson really loved her. He was super happy that she even asked him on a date. He was looking for a girl anyway, but her asking him out just made it better. It was also Lacie’s sister and Lacie was his best friend. Mark was also his friend. Jackson tried his best to make Taye happy and not hurt Lacie’s feelings if Taye got upset. This was a big achievement for him and it also meant the most to him. Jackson was happy to find out that Taye loved him too. The drive was an hour and a half away from Taye’s house.

“We’re here and now I will give you your surprise.” Jackson said excitingly.

“Ok, I can’t wait to find out what it is. I know I’ll love it whatever it is. As long as you think I’ll love it, it shouldn’t matter what you get me. I love you just as much as you love me.” Taye said as confidently as possible.

                                     ***********************

“Hey babe, I think it’s time that we talk to each other about something. I’m really scared about something we did and I need to talk to you about it.” Lacie said crying.

“Ok, you can talk to me about anything you want babes. You just need to find the right time like now would be okay if you want.” Mark says to convince her.

“We’re only twelfth grade so we need to slow down. You’re going way too fast for me and I don’t want to have babies yet, ok? I’m sorry to say this, but, we shouldn’t have done it in the first place. We won’t do it anymore whether you’re happy with it or not. I’m done. I love you and I don’t want to have this talk again ok?” Lacie says while crying.

“Ok, I understand. I was thinking about that too and I was thinking the same thing. I just had to find the right time to talk to you about it. You didn’t tell your parent, did you?” Mark was upset and crying too.

“No, I didn’t. They would get so mad if I told them. I was like I shouldn’t tell them just in case I do get in trouble.” Lacie said smiling now.

Lacie and Mark went to the store to start getting ready for their marriage.
