It has been 3 weeks after Blake asked me out.
"Mom, dad, I have to tell you something..." I said.
"What is it, honey?" said my mom.
"I'm.. I'm..."
"Come on, sweetie. You can tell us," my dad said.
"Yeah, but I know that you guys aren't going to like this..."
"You can tell us anything, we'll understand."
I took a deep breath and spoked, "Okay.. I'm going out with Blake Madrid.."
'WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?" my mom and dad yell out.
"We told you that you couldn't see him! You can't be involved with that kind of person, Avery!" said my dad.
"We thought we raised you better than that! You disobey us!" said my mom.
"I know but-"
"No buts!"
"But I'm so-"
"You said that you aren't going to be with him!"
"I didn't specifically said that..."
"I don't care! We forbid you for seeing him!" yell out my dad.
"But-"
"How long have you two been.. dating?" my mom asked me.
"Uh.. 3 weeks..."
"3 weeks?! When were you planning to tell us?!"
"I'm telling you now.."
"Who knows what he's trying to do to you!" said my dad.
"What do you mean by that, dad?" I asked.
"Avery, listen, honey, he's scrutinizing you. He's manipulating you."
"What..?"
Blake's POV:
"So, you're with that girl, Blake?" my dad asked me.
"Yeah.. why?" I replied.
"I wanted to know. I'm just asking."
"But you never care for m-"
"Hey, shut it. But it's good that you're with that girl," he said.
"Why..?"
"We could use her."
"What do you mean by 'use', dad?"
"Hey, it's like, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
"What are you planning to do with her?!"
"Oh come on, Blake. You can't really be into her. You don't give a s**t about anything or anyone."
"Maybe I am."
"Don't tell me.. that you're in love with her?!"
"Dad, please."
"You can't! You know that her parents and I have a war going on! Don't add in another Romeo and Juliet book!"
"Dad, I'm not!"
"Does.. does she know that you're..."
"No, dad. She doesn't know... she doesn't know about anything."
"Does she know about the war? With me and her parents?"
"I don't think she does.."
"Oh! Perfect!"
