<h2>Chapter 9: The Real World</h2>


    Next day It''s date night at Anna’s. I''m making a pizza well prepping it for James. He''s coming in 3 hours. But I''m being too careful. Ana walks in and sees “


    It''s been a while and I can''t think straight. I have feelings and words I can''t let out .I said to Ana as she gave me a tight hug.


    Andrew was at school at this time but I wish he was here for his mom as she got a life changing phone call.


    It was a record label for music as you know she''s a wonderful singer. They wanted her to get signed by them. She quickly agreed.


    She already had her new album planned out. It''s called something out of the blue. It''s a sad pop album .


    ‘Something out of the blue’ was a hit . Everyone that listened to it loved the song.


    I walked into school with James we walked into the principal''s office

    The conversion started with a “Why are you here, Miss Willams and Mr Marley?”


    I talked about the bullying James got from Ben….


    The threats and beatings he got into.


    It was a long talk…..


    The Principal Miss Sophia said ''That could be true, we have rules in place to keep everyone safe.’


    I said “Yes , James has been scared to come to school for weeks. And we both know how smart he is”.


    She took down notes and said “she''ll take action right away.”


    What she meant was him being kicked out……


    James smiled a bit and said “Thank you Miss  Sophia”


    So now is James safe I asked


    She said yes


    She said she''s deeply sorry to him


    He kinda seemed ok now


    We got out of the school.


    Went to our spot at the restaurant and we talked


    We talked about our relationship and we decided that we''re together now. He got me something.


    A silver heart necklace he said he worked a couple shirts for. The rest of the money went to rent and Cassandra.


    He put the necklace on me and thanked him with a kiss of love and a hug.


    The phone rang, I picked it up.


    “Stacy!” a voice that had been haunting my nightmares called out. I blocked my dad’s number.
