Chapter Five

"Josephine, get in here!" My mother yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"What?" I said running down the steps.. "Am I in trouble?" I asked confused.
"What do you think?" My mom said.
"I really don't know what you are talking about." I said sitting down on the couch.
"Why was Sidney in your bed this morning?" She said.
"How did you know?" I asked very confused.
"Jayden told us."
"Told you what exactly?!"
"That she came to wake you up and Sidney was with you, without a shirt."
"We didn't do anything." I said getting upset.
"How am I suppose to believe that?"
"Are you kidding me? Sidney and I aren't even dating!!"
"Then why was he here?"
"Probably because I needed help."
"help with what?"
"With the kids.. They would not go to sleep last night so Sidney helped me and then I was was worried about getting them up and fed ontime for church in the morning. Sidney offered to help, and it just made more sense for him to stay here."
"Your sisters look up to you.. what kind of message does it send that some boy is sleeping in your bed in his boxers!?!"
"MOM, WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! We didn't even kiss.. I mean seriously. Maybe if your oldest son would have been around to help, I wouldn't have needed Sidney."
"This isn't about Jacob."
"Of course its not about Jacob. He can do whatever he wants with whomever he wants.. its just me who can't have any kind of social life."
"You can have a social life, but with a millionaire?"
"I can't be friends with Sidney because of his bank account.. you have GOT to be kidding!"
"He leads a different life than you."
"Yeah, he does, but that doesn't mean I can't be apart of his life."
"It does actually."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"It means you are my 17 year old daughter and living under my roof, and I don't want you involved with Sidney anymore."
"Sidney and I aren't involved. We haven't been dating for awhile, hes just my friend."
"I don't want you to see him anymore."
"You can't do that. He is my best friend."
"Not anymore." She said sternly
"Yeah.. we will see about that." I said running up to my room.

My mom just forbid me to see you.
"What did that text mean?" He said calling me.
"It meant that my dear ole little sister told my mom that you slept in my room last night, and now I am not allowed to see you."
"Why, we didn't do anything?"
"I know, and I think she knows that, she just.. I don't know. She said our lives are too different."
"So what are we going to do?" He asked.
"We are going to be discreet in seeing eachother. We didn't do anything wrong, and you are my best friend."
"I don't want to come between you and your mom."
"Its fine. I'll talk to my dad tomorrow."
"They didn't care about Jacob?"
"No, because hes Jacob. He can do whatever he pleases.. thats just how it is."
"Don't worry about it, Jo. We will figure it out."
"I can't believe this is happening.."
"I promise you that it will be fine. I'll call you tomorrow after the game."
"She can't do this." I said.
"I'll think of something. Just go to sleep."
"Thanks, Sidney."
"Your my best friend, there is no way that I'm not going to see you."
