"An Old Friend"
This is my first fanfiction series, this is the pilot, I guess you could call it, and my first post on this site. I post this on LJ too.
There's a knock at the door.
Angel:"Hey, Jackie-boy! Wanna get that?"
Jack gets up to answer the door. When he opens, his eyes widen. Its not everyday u see a hot stranger at your doorstep. Jack's day is looking up. 'God, she's beautiful.'Jack thought to himself."Hi." the stranger says, looking at Jack w/ an expression that said, 'This is your cue, Gorgeous.'Then an all-too familiar face comes and stands behind Jack."Who is it, Jackie?" Bobby said, then his face goes to shock. The girl smiles the most beautiful grin, and Jack was bewildered by her face, even with it's semi-goofy expression. She wasn't a drop-dead gorgeous, tall, blonde, barbie-ho but she WAS amazing, w/ her medium-length dark brown hair, her impossible hazel eyes, her pale skin. He knew there was something special about her, she was different. You could see it in her eyes that she was deeper than she let show. So why would a woman like that be looking so happy to see any of the Mercer boys, epecially Bobby?
"Bobby!" She screamed as she jumped into Bobby's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and he picked her up, he was incredibly happy. Which was weird, Bobby was never 'chipper', and he never seemed so happy to see a sexy young girl without him having a look on his face that said, 'I wanna tap that.' But this was different, he seemed innocently happy, which, once again, was weird, Bobby was never really innocent.
"Oh, my God, Alex. What are you doing here?"
"I heard what happened. God, Bobby, I'm sorry."
"Yeah...It's been hard on all of us."
"I was gonna come see you anyway. It's been too long, Mercer."
"It has. It's good to see you. Here, let's meet the family. Angel, get your ass in here, we got a houseguest." Bobby said as he draped an arm around his old friend and led her into the living room.
"Oh, I don't have to stay here--"
"Shut up, you've always got a room at my house. Jack, she's staying in your room."
"OK." Jack agreed.
"Don't seem so excited, you get the couch. Oh wait..it's you..never mind."
Jack rolled his eyes as his older brother entered the room.
"Who's this?" Angel asked.
"This, is Alex. She is a very good friend of mine, from back in the day, in Chicago. Alex, this is my little brother Angel. When you hear some whining 'en espanol', that'd be his girl, Sofi."
"Hey." Angel greeted her. "And you shut up, Bobby."
"'Sup, man."
"Yeah, yeah. This is Jeremiah." Bobby said.
"Nice to meet you." Jeremiah said, after getting off the couch when she first came in.
"Hey, Jeremiah."
"And this is baby brother, this is Cracker Jack."
"Cracker Jack. Nice."
"Yeah, its wonderful." Jack said, the sarcasm obvious, but not over-the-top. "Nice to meet you, though. I'm Jack."
"Alexis."
Bobby, in mid-cough, says, "Gay"
"Christ, Bobby, I can't believe you just 'gay-coughed' your little brother. What, are you like, 11?" Alexis laughs.
"She's gonna fit in just perfectly." Jeremiah said.
"So how did you meet a decent person, and make them like you?" Angel asked his big bro.
"I was a runaway. I, uh, tried to pickpocket some rich dick on a bus once. Dunno what the hell he was doin on a damn bus. Bobby saw me, laughed, he was the only one who saw, thank God."
"The dude had it comin'. But this one, she had potential. A girl, 'bout 15, and she could handle herself pretty well. Apparently, she had just ran away. So being the good guy I am, I took her in. God, its been 4, 5 years." When he reached the 'good guy' part, there were snorts and scoffs from all sides of the room. "Ok, all yall can kiss my ass, but can we eat now? Damn..."
