The next 2 weeks were terrifying. my mother was out of town on a business trip. my dad could pretty much give a fuck what i did. So i could do anything i wanted. But, i lied to Jackson and told him i was grounded. Couldn't go anywhere or phone at all for 2 weeks. When i was really grounded my parents were extremely strict and i could barely breath. So this was easily accepted. That took care of him.Then Benny made up his lie. He said he wanted to get away for a while. So he "went to the beach." Now, John probably knew we were together, and so did Edward. The men were not stupid. But they probably thought we had gone to the beach. Not that we were stealing their best clients.
