Chapter 1-The moment our eyes met
This story is based on the T.V show Revolution. I do not own any of it besides the characters I created.
"He's here!" Ben said, failing to hide his excitement. I rolled my eyes and smiled. He shoo-ed me into the living room and I glanced at Rachel who just shrugged. I hid in the other room just as the front door opened.
"Ben!" I heard Miles yell as he crossed the room and pulled Ben into a big bear hug, or that's what it sounded like by the grunt of pain.
"Miles, it's good to have you home little brother" Ben said. I heard Miles pull Rachel into a hug before I decided to come out from hiding. Miles glanced over at me and his jaw dropped.
"Jaylyn?" he asked in shock. A huge smile spread across my face and I sprinted through the kitchen and jumped in his arms, hugging him tightly.
"Hey little brother" I said into his neck. He pulled away and put his hands on my shoulders looking down at me in disbelief.
"What...when...how?" he stuttered.
"I got back a few weeks ago. We wanted to surprise you. I'm so glad you're home safe" I said as I hugged him again. That's when I noticed there was someone else in the room. Standing awkwardly by the door was the most handsome man I'd ever seen. He was tall but everyone seemed tall to me since I was only 5'4 and I could see that he was well built. He smiled shyly at me and my jaw almost dropped. He had an amazing smile but his eyes were what made me feel like I was having a heart attack. They were the most beautiful blue I'd ever seen. I knew I was gawking slightly and I snapped myself out of it and looked up Miles, smiling.
"Oh you've never met Bass before. Jay, this is my best friend Sebastian Monroe" he said Sebastian stepped forward and stuck a hand out but I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. I felt him stiffen slightly before he awkwardly hugged me back.
"Thank you for keeping him safe" I said quietly before placing a kiss on his cheek. I backed away and his cheeks were red. I turned to Miles and smiled.
"When do you go back?" I asked. His smile fell slightly.
"Two days" he mumbled. I groaned.
"Let's go out tonight then. I could go for a few drinks" I said looking between Miles and Bass. I knew that Rachel and Ben wouldn't go out. They had Charlie and Danny to worry about. Bass shrugged and we both looked at Miles expectantly.
"I don't know, Jay." he said. I laughed.
"You're just afraid your sister's gonna out drink you" I said. That caught his attention and he glared at me.
"Fine" he said and I smirked.
"I'll be right back" I said, leaning up and kissing him on the cheek before running upstairs. I had spent the night so I could spend more time with Danny and Charlie so I had packed an overnight bag. I took out a pair of skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and pulled them on before I grabbed my shin high black boots with about a two inch heel. I went into the bathroom and pulled the hair elastic out of my hair letting it fall around my shoulders in slight waves. I ran my fingers through it a few times before I applied a small amount of mascara. I looked myself over and nodded in approval and grabbed my light black leather jacket. I threw everything else back in my bag, double checking to make sure I had everything. I walked back down the stairs and grabbed my purse off the table near the stairs. I went into the living room to find everyone sitting there talking about Charlie and Danny. Sebastian was the first to notice my entrance and he did a double take which made me blush slightly.
"You guys ready?" I asked. Miles looked at me, his jaw dropping.
"When did you become...a girl?" he asked as he stood up. I punched him in the arm lightly.
"Before birth, jackass" I said. I took my keys out of my purse. "I'll drive. I've got an apartment within walking distance of the bar. You can crash at my place if you need to"
Miles shrugged and headed out the door.
"I'll see you guys soon" I said hugging Ben and Rachel then kissing Charlie and Danny on the forehead. "I love you"
I walked outside to find Miles and Sebastian standing by my car, staring at it in disbelief. It was a black 1967 ford mustang. It was my pride and joy.
"This is yours?" Sebastian exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and went to the drivers side.
"Sorry it's not very roomy. One of you is gonna have to squeeze in back." I said. Sebastian looked at Miles who rolled his eyes and climbed in back. I got in and glanced over Sebastian and laughed. Both of them looked like little boys on Christmas.
"You sure you can drive this thing?" Sebastian asked, smirking. I glared at him and started the car before shifting into first and peeling out onto the street. We reached my apartment in ten minutes. I whipped into the parking lot and spun into a spot perfectly before I turned the car off. Miles and Sebastian were staring at me in shock.
"You guys trying to catch flies or something?" I asked as I climbed out of the car and turned down the street towards the bar.
"You're not gonna show us your place first?" Miles asked.
"You really want to see it that bad?" I asked. He shrugged. I sighed and walked to the front door and unlocked it. I climbed the stairs to the second floor. My apartment was only two doors down from the stairs. I unlocked it and showed them inside. I was very pleased with my apartment. The living room had ten foot ceilings and the kitchen was rather roomy. It was a two bedroom two bathroom apartment and it had come with a washer and dryer already in it. I had a couch and a rec-liner, and a 40 inch t.v. One of the bookshelves had a few pictures on it. One of me holding Charlie when she was first born, another of me, Ben and Miles right before I left four years ago, and one of me holding Danny.
"Welcome, gentlemen, to my humble abode" I said waving my arms dramatically. I glanced at Sebastian and saw his lips twitch into a slight smile. Miles went strait to the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Oh make yourself at home Miles" I said sarcastically. He pulled three beers out of the fridge.
"Don't mind if I do" he said, popping the tops off of all three of them and handing them out.
"This is a nice apartment, Jaylyn" Sebastian said.
"Why thank you. And please, call me Jay" I said taking a big gulp of my beer.
"So, what did you do before you got here?" Sebastian asked.
"I served four years in the Army" I said simply, finishing my beer. Sebastian looked at me like I had three heads.
"What was your job?" he asked. I looked at Miles who looked at me apologetically.
"Sorry I don't like to mention to my buddies that I have an intimidating, sort of terrifying older sister" he said defensively.
"You're such a little sissy sometimes" I joked. He threw a pillow at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I was Special Forces" I said. Sebastian choked on his beer.
"I thought they didn't allow women in those kind of jobs" he said. I looked at him and he swallowed. "Not that I think you're incapable or anything." he stammered.
"I was...different. I excelled in basic and by the time I graduated I was asked to switch jobs. So I did." I said as I walked to the fridge and grabbed another round of beers.
"I thought we were going to the bar" Miles wined. I laughed.
"If you think you're bringing some bimbo into my apartment, you're wrong. And I doubt you'd pick anyone up dressed like that ya bum" I said, smirking. He raised an eyebrow.
"Challenge accepted" he said gulping down his entire beer. I sighed and downed mine.
"You're not banging some skank in my guest bedroom." I said as we exited my apartment. He leaned down and kissed my cheek and winked. I groaned and locked the door behind me. I could already tell that this was going to be an interesting night.
