Jo POV.
I let my long brown curls fall on my shoulders, I was excited for today I'm finally seeing Stupid AKA Gabriel Duncan. I've been very depressed lately, 9 months ago I went into rehab for bulimia. I got so ill from my bulimia I lost some hair and got dangerously low in weight that I had to be fed with a tube, I was in rehab for 4 months. Once I was better and at a healthy weight, my mum took me away no worries just care free mum and daughter fun. I relapsed and purged 5 times while I was there but my mum convinced me if I stop purging we could move back to Denver, we moved back 6 weeks ago I've had to go to doctors and therapist appointments regularly.
Today was Saturday I had no therapist sessions or doctors appointments, so I was going to see Gabe and I was actually happy at the thought of seeing him, I hadn't seen him since the day I went to rehab. He didn't know I was back but I called Amy to ask if I could come round, Yes I was actually polite now...sometimes.
I change into a baseball jersey and black leggings, I apply some foundation, mascara and blusher, I've trained myself how to apply make up without a mirror because my bulimia my mum put black tape all around the mirrors. I slip on my red converse and run down stairs.
"Sweetie are you going to see your boyfriend?" My mum asks.
I groan "NOT my boyfriend mum!"
"Okay then, bye love you"
"Yeah you too" I say walking out of the door.
I suddenly feel very self conscious I haven't actually walked around the neighborhood on my own. I hurry my pace I smile as I see the Duncan household, I bet the baby is here now that's how long it's been I haven't even seen yet another addition to the Duncan family.
I knock on the Duncan household door, the door opens to reveal Charlie she looks so grown up, well grown up from a baby.
"Jo?" The little blonde Duncan asks tilting her head slightly.
I smiles she remembers me "Hey Kiddo, can you get me Gabe?"
"GABEY! DOOR" Charlie shouts running to her dolls.
My stomach churns as I hear footsteps, I look up and see Gabe Whoa! He's gorgeous!
"JO!" Gabe exclaims, his voice is sexy too! He opens his arms.
I quickly run into them, he picks me up of the floor.
"Your back!" He says.
"Duh! Stupid!" I tease rolling my eyes, I heard footsteps and see a very pretty SKINNY girl come down the stairs.
"Babe who's this?" She asks Gabe. I feel my heartbreak obviously he has a girlfriend!
"This is my best friend,ex-enemy and prank buddy Jo Keener" Gabe introduces.
I laugh "That's me, I like pranks"
"I'm Lauren, if your Gabe's best friend where have you been?"
I gulp looking down "I've been in rehab"
Lauren snorts "Really? Your 15"
"LAUREN!" Gabe scolds "Just go home". Lauren glares at me and Gabe then walks away.
"Sorry about that" The dark haired boy apologizes.
"It's fine, I've missed you Stupid"
"Me too Keener" He smirks.
"You know I've still not come inside yet" I say stepping inside, I see Teddy and charlie playing and A baby boy with brown hair in a bouncer.
Teddy looks up "JO!" she says, I go over and give her a hug.
"Hey Teddy" I say smiling As we pull away from our hug.
Gabe picks up the baby "Jo meet Toby..I actually like this one"
I laugh and stroke Tobys cheek "Hey cheeky, I'm your big brothers best friend" Toby giggles at me, Gabe puts Toby down.
"I love you stupid" I say hugging him.
"Love you too Keener" Gabe says kissing the top of my head.
