Aaliyahâs POV
âOmg, Kylie, where are you? You shouldâve been here by now.â I softly mumbled in an irritated tone to myself while plopping myself down on the top step to my house. Just as I grabbed my phone out of my hoodie pocket a beat up car pulled up and out stepped Kylie looking like a bum, with her blue hair in a messy bun, camo patterned leggings, baggy hoodie i assume she stole from her boyfriend Cody. âHey.â Kylie said to me as she threw her bags next to me on the porch. âHey. Really thatâs all youâre gonna say. Kylie youâre 30 minutes late. What were you doing?â I asked as she walked back to the beat up car that belonged to her boyfriend Cody as I trailed behind her waiting for an answer. âOh trust me Liyah you donât want to know.â She replied before giving Cody a kiss and waving goodbye to him as he drove off. âLetâs go inside and Iâll tell you all the gross details of my sex life.â Kylie said jokingly while walking up the steps and onto my house leaving me traumatized by what she had just said. Quickly grabbing her bags I ran after her. Making sure to lock the front door I ran up the stairs to meet Kylie in my room. âSo we have the house all to ourselves tonight. What do ya wanna do?â I asked setting her bags at the foot of my bed and flop down next to her, making my cat Toasty run away. âOoo!â Kylie said while springing up from my bed doing a little happy dance. âWe should totally bake some cookies and have a dance party oo oo and we should go on omegle and scare and prank people.â Kylie said in what seemed like one breath. â Oh!â Kylie yelled. âWe should also invite Sam and Cody Overrrrrrr.â She said while laying on me dragging out the ârâ. I sighed, âKylie you know i would but you know how my parents are about me having boys over when they arenât home.â I said pushing her off me and onto the floor with a thud. âAaliyah. Youâre 18. You shouldnât have to listen to your stupid parents. They donât control you anymore.â Kylie said from the floor. âAlso you should really clean under your bed.â she said with a laugh. âYou know what. Call Cody. Imma call Sam.â I said getting up from my bed and grabbing the phone off charge from my desk. Kylie squealed while tearing her phone out of her pocket quickly dialing Codyâs number. After getting off the phone with Cody, Kylie squeals with excitement while looking towards me âCodyâs coming!! He will be here in 20 minutes!â. I laughed softly while dialing Samâs number. While on the phone with Sam, Kylie sits on my bed Criss Cross applesauce giving me googly eyes waiting for an answer on whether or not Sam will be coming or not. After receiving an answer I smiled big and sighed in relief as I was anxious asking if he was going to be coming over without my parents being here. âSamâs coming!â I yelled while jumping up and down squealing as Kylie joined me there was a knock at the front door. âOoouu that must be Nola. I remember her mom was supposed to drop her off for me to babysit. While sheâs on a business trip.â I said wriggling out of Kiley's tight grip. Kylie, squealing in excitement looks at me âNola?! I have been wanting to meet for a while now!â. Smiling I said âI know. Thatâs why I agreed to babysit her.â Kylie squeals as she jumps in my arms, not being prepared for the sudden added weight I fell over, as Kylie was giving me the biggest hug I had ever received. Quickly prying Kylie off me I jumped to my feet. âRace ya to the door.â I said while sprinting out my door and down the hallway with Kylie hot on my trail. Making it to the stairs I came to a stop not wanting to slip and fall on the stairs. Kylie on the other hand went flying down the stairs, as she hit the middle of the staircase she slipped and proceeded to roll down the stairs. As Kylie fell down the very last step, she ended up sliding across the mud room only to bash her head on the front door. Laughing I slowly made my way down the stairs and onto the hardwood floor of the mud room. âAre you okay Kylie. You went for quite the trip.â I said looking at her as she rubbed her head. Laughing slightly, Kylie responded with âYeah iâm okay, thank you for asking.I would appreciate an ice pack though if at all possibleâ. Smiling while in relief âOh of course, the ice packs are on the door of the freezer in the kitchenâ. Kylie with a blank expression wanting to laugh âout of the several times that i have come over i always tend to forget where the kitchen is. Would you kindly remind me?â. âIf you walk through that door there.â I said while pointing to the door that is to the right of us âAnd take a right there will be the kitchen. I would take you, but umm the door needs answered.â I said. Kylie grunted, âIt wonât take long.â Sighing I helped Kylie off the floor and helped her to the kitchen. Pointing her in the direction of the fridge before running back to the front door and opening it slightly âNOLA!â I squealed, ripping the door open and hugging Nola about squeezing her to death. âAaliyah!â Nola yelled in a slightly wheezy tone due to me hugging her still. âItâs been forever since Iâve seen you. Youâve gotten so big.â I said letting her go and looking at her from afar. âLetâs bring you inside.â I picked up the bag that I made her drop and grabbed her hand, dragging her inside and closing the door with my foot. As I am dragging Nola into the house, we hear a loud crash âAaliyah, what was that?â. Nola asked in a concerned tone. âOh thatâs just my best friend you know Kylie being a clumsy girl again.â I said dropping her bag at the stairs taking her into the kitchen where Kylie is â Whatcha doin in here?â I asked. Kylie peeked her head out of the pantry âoh nothing i was just getting a snackâ. Just as Kylie takes a step out of the pantry she trips on a box of spaghetti noodles and falls, making the whole kitchen floor shake. Kylie giggles and puts her hand up in the air âIâm okay!â. âJesus Kylie way to make a first impression.â Nola said sarcastically while slapping Kylieâs hand. Kylie overreacting, screams â could you have hit me any harder?â while looking up at Nola with a sarcastic glare. âYeah, actually I could.â Nola said, smirking and crossing her arms. Kylie stands up and crosses her arms â oh really? Iâd like to see you tryâ. âSee letâs not do this please.â I said just as Nola stepped closer to Kylie dropping her arms to her side smiling. âI say letâs do it.â Kylie smirking about to test Nolaâs patience slightly pulls her hair in a playful manner. Nola glaring at Kylie, slightly pushes her âLetâs not.â Kylie not thinking Nola is going to do anything looks directly into her eyes âand what exactly do you think youâre going to do?â. Nola then suddenly pounces on Kylie knocking her onto her ass at the sudden force. Laughing hysterically, Kylie starts to wrestle Nola in a playful manner but ends up sitting her up and giving her a giant bear hug âitâs so good to finally meet you, my loveâ. Nola smiles âItâs good to finally meet you too.â Suddenly there is another knock at the door. âOoou Iâll get it.â I yelled running to the door, Swinging it open hoping it was Sam already, âOh. Itâs just you. Kylieâs in the kitchen.â I sighed and closed the door after letting Cody in. Just as I was about to follow Cody to the kitchen, I heard the doorbell ring. Groaning slightly I turned to face the door and opened it. As I saw Sam in the doorway, I froze. Sam giggled âBaby, you good?â. âYeah, Iâm good.â I said giggling and smiling wide. Giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, I let him in. As we make our way to the kitchen where Kylie, Nola, and Cody are at. As Cody and I are making our way into the kitchen, we notice Kylie, on the table dancing. âKylie get off the table before you break it!â I yell at her.Kylie giggling âIâm not going to break it, itâs fineâ. As Kylie tries making her way off of the table, we all hear it crack. Kylieâs eyes suddenly widened as she quickly turned around looking at the table â oh Jesus..ummm..that was an accidentâ. As everyone is standing in complete shock from the table breaking, I groan âKylie I told you to get off of the table before you broke it and well now we have to find a way to fix it before my parents get home tomorrow afternoonâ. Cody walks up to Kylie and puts his arm around her âIâm sure we will find a way to fix itâ. Sam interferes being all confident âlets us men handle it while y'all go have some girl time, Iâm sure we will get this fixed real quickâ. âOkay, Whatever you say bubby.â I say and motion for Nola and Kylie to follow me. As we get upstairs into my room, my phone starts to ringâŠ.
