A/N: So, I love Blue Bloods. Hence, the fanfiction.
This is a discipline story.
Jamie looked at his group of friends nervously.
'Are you guys serious?'
His best friend David nodded his head excitedly.
'Come on man, these are going to be the best two week of our lives.'
'Haha…I beg to differ. My dad is gonna kill me so these aren't going to be the best days of my life.'
'Come on Jamie…' his girlfriend Amanda pleaded.
Jamie could not say no to her but his father's face popped into his mind and he shook his head.
Amanda's face fell.
Jamie felt really bad. He tried to explain.
'Mandy, we are going to LA without any supervision for two weeks. Anything could happen. It is really dangerous.'
'Seriously dude, we are going. Amanda is coming with us. Do you really want her to go without you?'
Sarah broke in with her emotional blackmailing.
Jamie snorted. 'Sar, your dad works in NYPD too. Do you really want him to find out?'
Sarah contemplated her friend's words for a moment and then shook her head while grinning.
'He is not going to find out. David's brother is going to vouch for us that we are going camping with him in Maine.'
'I would be lucky if my dad gives me permission even for that.'
'If he doesn't, just sneak out. He'll be so glad to have you back after two weeks that he would not say anything to you.'
'In your dreams. He is going to ground me for life and make sure that your parents do the same. And by the way, what exactly is David's excuse?'
'Same. Sam owes me a big one so he agreed to lie for me. He will be with his friends, partying. I wish I was twenty already.' David sighed.
Jamie reciprocated the sigh. 'And I wish my brothers were more like yours.'
'He isn't that great. He said and I quote that he will be checking up on my ass from time to time.'
Jamie still looked unconvinced.
Amanda threw her arms around him from behind and said.
'Jamie, this is our last summer together. I mean, we have the next one but we will all be busy with college admissions and stuff.'
Jamie knew he had to stop them before they went ahead with their plans.
'Guys, we are talking about driving from New York to LA across the country!'
'Jamie, we can't go without you. Fine, we will just cancel the plans' David said despondently.
Jamie glanced at the faces of his girlfriend and his two friends and gave in.
He knew he was going to regret this decision but he did not want to disappoint them. For all their pseudo threats, they were not going to go without him.
'Oh alright! We are going.'
All three of their faces broke into huge smiles but Amanda immediately sobered up.
'Jamie, we were just trying to convince you. We did not want to pressure you. Do you really wanna go?'
'In complete consciousness…' David added with a smirk.
Jamie laughed and nodded his head.
'Okay,' Sarah clapped her hands. 'Now we are going to convince our parents that we are going camping with Sam in Maine for two weeks. If they don't agree, just sneak out.'
Sarah repeated her words with a shrug.
Jamie looked at her amusingly.
'Sar, what happened to you?'
'I happened to her.' David proudly put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders.
Jamie, Amanda and Sarah started laughing at his words.
'Trust me dude,' Jamie shook his head at David, 'you are going to regret this trip as much as me. Your parents aren't any different from the rest of ours.'
'And most of the time, you are a goody two shoes like us.' Amanda added with a smile.
'Okay…okay,' David raised his hands in surrender and shook his head in disgust.
'You three just couldn't let me have a moment.'
'You can have all the moments you want but let's get our stories straight first.' Sarah interrupted impatiently.
Jamie returned home in the evening.
His mom was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
'Hey mom,' he greeted quietly.
'Hey sweetheart.' His mom smiled at him.
'Dinner is almost ready. Go get washed up.'
During the meal, Jamie was uncharacteristically quiet which both Frank and Mary noticed.
While cleaning the dishes, Frank glanced at his son and asked.
'Jamie, is there something on your mind?'
'No dad.' Jamie shook his head instantly. Frank looked unsatisfied but let it go. After a few moments, Jamie blurted out.
'Dad, can I ask you something?'
'You don't need to ask for permission Jamie.' Frank gently commented.
'Umm…do you know David's brother, Sam?'
Frank merely nodded.
Jamie mustered up all his courage and uttered the first lie.
'Uh, he is going camping with David in Maine. He invited me, Mandy and Sarah too.'
Jamie stopped there because he wanted to gauge his dad's reaction.
Frank looked at him impassively and asked.
'So, you are asking me for permission?'
Jamie nodded his head nervously. 'Can I please go?'
Frank stared at him for a moment and finally said.
'I'll talk to your mother and let you know.'
Jamie breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that he hadn't gotten an immediate 'no'.
He felt bad for lying to his dad but he knew that he was never going to get permission to go to LA with his friends without any parental supervision.
He deserved to have a little fun. Didn't he?
TBC…

A/N4: Do you guys want Frank to give permission to Jamie for Maine or do you want him to sneak out altogether?
