small part, that wanted to rush home in the morning and tell them but, for now, what they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them.
    But now, without having heard from him, she had no idea if their date was still on. She wanted to think so, since he had asked her and hadn’t verbally cancelled it but not calling or texting, especially when she had, really started to mess with her head. She couldn’t help but think it was his way of breaking it off because he changed his mind and didn’t want anything to do with her anymore or possibly that he had no intentions of actually calling her like he said, let alone take her out on a date.
    Lennox spent the rest of the week constantly checking her phone, making sure it was working and that it received text messages. She didn’t leave it anywhere other than next to her and every time it rang, she jumped and swiped it off whatever surface it had been occupying only to be annoyed to see it wasn’t Caleb’s name flashing across her screen. Her moods were uncontrollable. She could only fake a smile for so long before she got tired of it and her grumpy side came out swinging. Her parents, having no idea what her deal was, brought up why she was so moody and emotional, and all she could think to tell them was it was nothing but her upcoming monthly visitor that was right around the corner.
    Lennox, checking her phone one last time before tossing it on her bedside table, sighed, then got off her bed and went into her small closet and started looking for something to wear. It was Saturday and she had finally given into Tatum’s begging and agreed to go out for a night of drinking with her and Londyn. When she first brought it up, Lennox instantly declined her offer. But after Tatum’s constant hounding, and even bribing, followed by Londyn telling them she would join, Lennox gave in. They both knew she needed to get out and have some fun, while getting her mind clear of all things Caleb.
    Grabbing her black flats with the tiny bow over the toe, she tossed them out of the closet and went back to digging around for something to wear. The weather had been surprisingly nice the last few days with the snow starting to melt, and she knew she would be fine wearing flats, regardless of the fact they were walking down to Aces.
    Aces was the local bar in Spruce Hill. It was in one of the two strip malls the town had and was usually the place to be Friday or Saturday nights. It was a typical bar with pool tables, a dance floor, tables and chairs, and televisions mounted to the walls where the only thing they ever showed were sports highlights. It wasn’t the first pick to hang out at on a Saturday night but it would do. She knew if she didn’t get out and try and take her mind off Caleb, she was going to end up spending her night watching her phone, as if it was about to do magic tricks. She had already spent her Friday doing that, and it was beginning to drive her crazy.
    Settling on a pair of jeans and a cream colored top that had an open back and hung loosely off her shoulder, she made her way out of her closet just as a knock sounded at her door.
    “Come in,” she called, laying her clothes on the top of her bed.
    Her door opened and her mom poked her head inside and said, “You decent?”
    “I wouldn’t have said come in if I wasn’t.”
    Her mom pushed open the door and walked in, closing the door behind before walking and sitting on the side of her bed. “What are you doing?”
    “Just about to get dressed then head over to Tatum’s, why?”
    Her mom’s face fell and a small pout formed on her lips. “Oh, you’re going out tonight,” she said, sounding as disappointed as she looked.
    Lennox sat on the end of her bed, facing her mom, “Yeah, we’re going to Aces. Why what’s up?”
    “Nothing, just that your dad’s out of town till tomorrow night and I thought it’d be nice to go for a mother daughter movie date.”
    “I wish I hadn’t already made plans to go to Aces, or I
