Double Trouble
A/N: Hey everyone. So this story is a sequel but is independent of the other story. You DO NOT need to read Jessie and Josh to understand it. This story is going to be mostly in Blake, Jessie and Josh's POV. And let's just say everything gets a little bit shook up. It's set from October Half term 2013 so it's been two months since the end of Jessie and Josh. I hope you enjoy.
Things from J&J that you need to know:
Pairings: OC x Rick, OC x Elektra, OC x OC.
Faith left to live with a fitness mad family. Holly, Lily and Charlie are all runaways. Jessie and Josh are brother and sister, Charlie is their cousin. Blake is a member of the house.
Enjoy, Indie :)

Blake's POV
We are currently sat around the kitchen table and worktop waiting for dinner. It's one of Gina's famous curry nights. Jessie is glaring towards the table. We are sat in our usual seats at the island just behind the table. With all the new people we got five months ago we have a brand new seating plan. Elektra, Jessie, Josh and I still sit at the island, Floss and Johnny still sit at either ends of the table. Harry now sits next to Charlie, now Faith has left, who sits next to Tee and Rick. Opposite them in still Carmen, Jody and Tyler but Lily now sits in Frank's seat.
Oh yes, Frank. He moved out to go to a half-way house and Lily, Carmen's friend has moved to Scotland with her dad and Shannay. But back to the kitchen, Holly sits on the window seat but today she and Josh are having an argument about it. Josh's girlfriend is visiting us. Alex. That's why Jessie is glaring at him. She really doesn't like Alex. She's worried Josh will get hurt. Anyway Holly reluctantly stands up and comes and sits in between me and Jessie at the island while Josh and Alex sit on the window seat. Jessie shakes her head disapprovingly and turns back around to face the fridge. I don't get why she doesn't like Alex.
Alex is very pretty. She has blonde hair cut in a bob to her shoulder and blue eyes. She has an incredible figure and she makes Josh happy. Ok, she hasn't got the nicest of personalities but everyone has some un-redeeming factor. Alex is a bit rude to Jessie and is very stubborn. She's also a typical dumb blonde. No joke. She failed her GCSEs. Apparently she has one GCSE and that is in textiles which is good because she wants to be a fashion designer.
I leaned forwards. "Jessie," I said. She looked up towards me. "What's up?" I asked. She shot a dark look over her shoulder at Alex.
"I just don't like her. I'm worried she'll break his heart," she told me. I glanced over at Rick. She followed my gaze and then turned back to me and glared. "Rick's not like that," she said.
I shrugged. I knew he wasn't but Josh was worried Rick would hurt Jessie's hear. "Well he has the same feelings about your relationship with Rick," I whispered. Holly nodded. Holly was really close to Jessie and shared the same feelings about Alex that Jessie did.
"he's got a point," Holly piped up. Jessie pulled a face.
"I know that," she said stubbornly, "but at least he knows Rick. What do we even know about Alex in the three months they have been dating?" Jessie said angrily. In case you haven't guessed, it's the October half term and Halloween is just around the corner. "I mean she has one GCSE, she's quit school, lives at home with her mum who doesn't work, doesn't have job," Jessie listed quietly, aware that Alex was only just across the room from us. I did nod at this point. She wasn't possibly the best person in the world. "I mean neither of them can support each other," Jessie added.
"yeah but surely Josh being happy is a good thing," Holly said. Jessie thought about it for a moment and then shrugged. Holly was twelve now. Her birthday had been in September. Jessie and Josh were sixteen now as well because their birthday was the 29th of August. Holly was enjoying her new school and Lily felt more settled there too which was good. The rest of us were still at Lakemead doing our A-levels and GCSEs.
A-Levels were a definite step up from GCSE. I was only taking four subjects and was still finding it hard. I was doing Physics, Maths, Biology and Chemistry. I wanted to be a Doctor when I was older so I needed the two science and maths. Physics was just a fun subject that I was taking. Jessie had picked to do Physics, Maths, Drama and Geography. She wanted to be either a physics, maths or drama teacher or an actor. Josh was taking the same as Jessie except he did PE instead of drama. Elektra was doing English, Maths and History. She had refused to do four subjects. Rick was taking Music, Physics, English and Drama. It was a variety but there was always someone else around to help with most subjects.
Gina gave up waiting for Mike. Apparently he was at the airport. We were all a little bit confused as to why he was the airport. Gina handed me and Jessie some of the plates to hand up. She headed towards Rick and Tee and I went straight to Josh and Alex worried Jessie might just throw Alex's dinner on her instead of letting her eat it.
"Blake," Josh said grabbing me as I handed him his plate. "What is Jessie's problem?" he asked me. My eyes flickered to Alex. "still?" he asked shock evident in his voice. I nodded and went to get more plates before Jessie got suspicious of why we were talking to each other. I smiled at her as we both picked up some more plates. She smiled back. Jessie and I had definitely sorted out our arguments and were now good friends. In fact we were partners in Physics because Rick was with Josh. I placed the last two plates and then handed Elektra her plate. She smiled at me.
We heard the front door open. "now I know it looks scary but trust me it's a really nice place," we heard Mike say. Gina's eyebrows rose up several cm. She hurried out the kitchen and we kids all exchanged a look. It sounded like we were getting a new girl. We waited, food forgotten on our forks and plates.
Shortly a small girl came in. She had plaits in her hair. She had light brown hair, green eyes and was stick-thin. She looked about eleven. She was wearing an orange and blue checked shirt tied up with a blue vest under the shirt as well as a pair of jeans and brown boots. "Howdy. I'm Megan. I'm Texas in America. I'm gonna be livin' here with you guys," she said. Our mouths all dropped open at the American accent. Jessie hit her head on the table, she really didn't like the American accent.
