No Strings

*~Quinn's POV~*

"What are you doing here?" I ask Julie.

"Daddy's home."

"What? Why?" I ask, and she just shrugs. "Why are you eating my ice cream!? You know that kind is hard to find!" I yell.

"What's going on in here." I hear my dad's voice come from behind me.

"She's eating my ice cream," I tell him, and he gives me a blank look. His light hazel eyes look at me.

"Jaclyn." I roll my eyes as he calls me that. He knows how much I hate being called that, so he will do it just to get on my nerves.

"Don't Jaclyn me, you know how hard it is to get this." Julie starts to close the top and put it up. Good girl, you're not completely stupid.

"Sorry," Julie tells me. Her dark brown hair matches my dads, and her eyes are sparkling green.

"You should be." I give her the death glare and remove my eyes from her to my dad.

"Don't be rude," Dad says to me. Wow shocker there, taking the mother-killers side.

"I'm going to bed." I start to walk off, but dad grabbed my arm.

"We are having dinner with the neighbors, tomorrow." And was not said anything like a question. He seems to be demanding this. I am old enough to make my own decisions if I don't want to go, I don't have to.

"But they are weird," I complain, and I only get a glare. "Just say I'm sick."

"Nonsense. You will be there and you will behave. You will also hang out with Sarah."

"But-" He put his hand up.

"There oldest daughter is visiting, and you will have to be nice to her as well." I rolled my eyes.

"I am old enough to make my own decisions. And I don't want to go." I state.

"You might be so-called old enough, but then why are you still living in my house?" Your house?

"You want me to leave?!" I scream. And he just stares at me blankly. "Fine. I'll go!" I turn to head up the stair but he grabs my arm again.

"You are not going anywhere. You will go to dinner tomorrow and act like a decent human being." I roll my eyes.

"Ughhhh." I yanked my arm from his grip and ran up to my room. I slammed my door and then face planted into a pillow. Fuck my life.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Its time for dinner with the Waters. Yay. I put on a pair of high waisted skinny jeans and a black crop top that said 'I don't want to be here', and to make the hole look classy, I put on a pair of black high heel boots. I walk down the stairs and see, Julie in a yellow fluffy sundress, with white sandals, dad had on a pair of blue jeans and a white button up, and Alec had khaki pants on with a blue polo tucked in.

"Wow, Y'all look like the brainy bunch." I shook my head and laughed, walking out the door. They followed behind as walked to the Waters house. Dad knocked on the door once he got there. It slowly opened.

"Oh, Mike. How lovely it is to see you." Mrs. Waters greets. She wasn't old and you would say but she wasn't young either. She has medium length blond hair, and ocean blue eyes. She had on a blue tight dress, that showed her curves. Mr. Waters was standing next to her, in a white button up and jeans. He had green eyes that shined and dark brown hair, that made me weak in the knees. "Come on in." She tells us and they all walk in with me behind them. The house looks so modern, black and white tiles, and a chandler made of diamonds. "So Mike." Mr. Waters speaks. "Want to go to the cave and watch some football, before dinner?" My father nods and walks out of the room with Mr. Waters.
