Hi! So I'm Nicky or more so Erin in this story. Sorry it took so long to write. There's a part in this where it switches to Addie's POV. Lauren came over and wrote her part, I have no say in her writing and vise versa. Anyways enjoy!!
Erin POV:
What did you do now Erin?" Addie shouted.
"Nothing." I say to myself. Addie put her hands up like what's going on? I turned back to Jack, "Sorry really." I put on a really concerned face.
Jack leaned down, "Hey look at my eye again. I think there's a piece of sand in it." I felt horrible once again, I got sand in his eye. I leaned closer to his face and tried looking for the sand grain but Jack surprised me. He closed the distance, I frowned into it but was thankful I didn't hurt him anymore than what I already did
Jack looked me over and sighed.
"Are you mister grumpy now?" I teased and kissed him again.
No." He smirked and pressed his lips to mine, enjoying the moment.
A girl looked at Jack and I, so I smiled and looked at Jack who just stared at her. I elbowed him but all he did was slide his arm around my waist. It felt weird with me being in a bathing suit that made me half naked so I started walking back to the shore but Jack stayed by my side, dang it. Where's my sweatshirt when I need it?
When we were completely out of the water I noticed Jack was walking behind me. I turned around to see him looking at me and giving me a cocky smile. I rolled my eyes I'm going to kill Addie.
"Jack can I borrow your jacket?" I asked.
"Why?" He teased. We reached up to the group of people were, and I stood over Davy.
"Davy give me your towel." I said nicely.
"No." Davy mumbled rolling back over.
"Davy," I almost started.
"Here." Addie pulled out a pink beach towel with orange seashells on it. I caught it and wrapped it around myself.
I turned around and walked looked to see where Jack was sitting, I spotted him with his phone out texting somebody. I made my way over to where he was and looked over Jack's shoulder and saw he was texting George.
"Why do you call him Georgie? His name is George." I asked making him jump. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I took a seat next to him.
"I've know him since middle school. We got into so much crap. Well we had a teacher and she was like bipolar or something and we had to stay after class because Georgie used to make little designs on the scanner things and we used to make weird sounds while the class was quiet, but I was the one who got caught. Anyways she was like, 'Georgie why must I keep telling you to stop drawing things on your scantrons and Jacky I ship you off to a different class almost everyday, I'm about ready to kick you out.'
I smiled and Georgie looked over at me and he started laughing and the teacher started crying like we were the worst. 'Go just go! Georgie you make me feel like a horrible teacher!' she yelled at us." Jack's eyes were full of amusement. I had my hand covering my mouth, to think what I got myself into. I got why Jack now calls George Georgie but why doesn't George call Jack Jacky?
"Let's go to the store. Addie through me the towel with her keys in it."
"Alright."
I started to get up but Jack caught my waist and my heel slipped and I fell on my butt. Jack laughed and laid down so I slapped his bare chest, leaving a pink mark of my hand.
"Not nice." I frowned. I got up and started walking to the bus.
"Erin?" Jack called, I just kept walking. I heard foot steps running after me, I turned to look and saw Jack high tailing it toward me. I took off then making it to the car but Jack rammed into me making both of us fall but me land on top of him.
"You're such a dork Jack." I laughed.
He snorted and helped me up, opening the door for me. I was starting the car when Jack walked to the front of the bus and started to do a dance, acting like a stripper taking off his shirt and swinging it over his head. I was laughing so hard, I went to rest my head on the stirring wheel but I hit my head on the honk. It went off loud and Jack let out an 'OH BABY'. I rolled down the window.
"Jack get in the car." I told him.
"Okay!" He smiled, putting his shirt back on and opening the passenger door.
I started driving to the closest store I knew. My phone started buzzing in my bag. I handed Jack my bag.
"Look for my phone." I demanded keeping my eyes on the road. Jack clicked the answer button and gave me the phone and turned up the radio finding a song he knew.
"Hello?" I practically screamed into the phone.
"How far away are you guys from the beach?" Addie asked.
"Not that far. Hey you wanna have a barbeque? We could go get my dad's little grill and such." I suggested.
"Sure why not? Make sure you guys don't mess up my seats and Jack doesn't crash the car."
"I don't make promises but I will try." Jack sang.
"OK, see you later, oh and Jack says he can't make any promises but he will try very hard." I laughed.
"Aight, I guess that's all I can ask of him. See you guys later."
"Alright bye." I pressed the end button and put it in the cup holder. I waited for a closer spot in the Wal-Mart parking lot.
"Alright Jack I really don't want to go get my dad's grill sooo," I looked him in the eyes, "I'm going to get Subway."
He looked confused until he finally got what I was saying. Jack pulled out a ten dollar bill and handed it to me and I smiled and gave him back the money.
"No I need you to go into Wal-Mart and get me something, please." I winked.
"I'll get something oh so special," Jack reassured me.
"Don't get cookies you've had enough of those," I told him walking toward Subway.
"Erin," Jack came walking over, taking off his shirt. "Here." I totally forgot I was still in my bathing suit, I took his shirt happily and slipped it over my shoulders.
"Thanks," It smelled like the beach mixed in with his house and cologne. I turned away, pulling the shirt up to my nose and smiling to myself all the way till I reached the door.
I ordered the little platter thing people get for business meetings, like my mom. I paid for it and grabbed the bags with soda and sandwiches. I saw Jack up against the wall where Sarah was talking to him. He looked so uncomfortable, poor lil guy.
"Hey Sarah fancy seeing you here." I smiled walking over to them.
"Oh Erin! Look Sarah, Erin's here. Oh joy." Jack sighed in relief slipping away from her enforcement and coming over to me and grabbing my hand holding it up to show Sarah. "Ha, my girlfriend, Erin, is here."
"I know who and what she is Jack." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Shut up Sarah, you were just flirting with Jack and had cornered him at Wal-Mart and you're saying you know he has a girlfriend, look that over and tell me what's wrong ." Amanda rolled her eyes holding all the grocery bags.
"So where are you guys headed off to?" Sarah asked, ignoring her sister.
Jack looked at me with wide eyes and shook his head looking down.
"To the beach," I told her, not paying attention to Jack.
"Oh do you mind if we come?" She squealed. "I love the beach."
"Suurree.." I sighed. How could I not? Her brother and sister were there. Why couldn't she go?
"Oh goodie!" She clasped her hands together, "We'll follow you there."
"Um okay."
Jack pulled me away to the station wagon showing me what he got, Ben & Jerry Ice Cream. He wiggled his eyebrows.
"What kind?" I asked even though I already saw the pistachio on there. I started up the bus and started to drive, with Amanda tagging along behind me. I handed Jack the Subway bags.
"Only the best kind." Jack pulled off the lid and put a spoon full into my mouth.
I moaned, the cold ice gave me a brain freeze.
"It's cold!" My yell was a muffle.
Jack started yelling into his hand making it hard to understand, making fun of me. I took the spoon out of my mouth, got the back of the spoon with ice cream and stuck it to his cheek.
"It's not that funny now, is it?" I raised my eye brows to his disgusted face. He took the spoon and scooped the cream off his face and put it in his mouth, Jack started looking through the bags with the plastic spoon sticking out of his mouth still.
"It's you, it's that shit stuck under my shoe, it's that smell inside the van, it's my bed sheet covered with sand, sitting through a shitty band, getting dog shit on my hands, getting hassled by the man, waking up to an alarm, sticking needles in your arm, picking up trash on a freeway, feeling depressed everyday, leaving without making a sound, picking my dog up at the pound, living in a tweaker pad, getting yelled at by my dad, saying I'm happy when I'm not, finding roaches in the pot, all these things I do, they're waiting for you." Jack sang to himself.
"Ahh I see, that's good Jack," I said with fake interest, "tell me more, and how does that make you feel." He just ignored me, pulled out a coke and opened it. I focused on the road for the rest of the way to the beach, which was a couple minutes of silence and the music playing. I got out of the car and grabbed a bag.
"Addie come help me!" I called to her.
"Okay!" She cheerfully said, "What did you guys get?" She stared looking through a subway bag.
"Guess who we saw!" I said with fake excitement.
"Who?" She asked looking through another.
"Sarah and Amanda." I sneered.
Addie's eyes got wider, "What did they say?"
"They asked what we were doing and where we were going." I started to make my way to the fire pit.
"And what did you tell her?" She questioned, 'her' referring to Sarah.
"That we were having a barbeque at the beach." I mumbled.
"Erin! Why did you do that?!" Addie whined.
"I didn't want to be mean!" I frowned, "And besides, Amanda was with her and I like Amanda."
Once Jack and Matt got the rest of the bags, Addie got Jessica over and we ate and talked until along came Jim and Jerry.
"Hello? Anybody here?" Sarah called out with her big pink sunglasses on top of her head.
The whole group was silent. I closed my eyes hoping it was only a fragment of my imagination.
"Hey everybody!" She practically wailed. The group just looked at her and for the ones who got looked at only smiled at her. "Wow, you guys are quiet!" Poor Amanda is right behind her priss of a sister.
Sarah took a seat right across from Jack and I. Sarah's eyes were shooting daggers at me, so I gave her my best 'you must be retarded' face. Jack was too busy eating his ice cream and texting George. I scooted closer to Jack not exactly squishing his arm, but he slid it out from between us and put it around my shoulder. I smiled to myself, pleased.
Davy had Addie on his lap wrapped up in his jacket he was also wearing. I looked at her face but it was buried in his shoulder, was she really sleeping?
Sarah made a lot of noise getting up to come closer while Amanda sat quietly next to the fire. Sarah took a fold up chair and dragged in right next to Jack.
"Crap crap crap," Jack whispered.
"So how have you been Jack?" Sarah said batting her eye lashes, finally sitting herself down.
"Um pretty good." Jack said without looking at her, scrapping at the sides of the ice cream tub.
"Could you look at me Jack?" Sarah said in her sweet voice. It could scare a person by how really cute and lovely she sounded.
"No thanks." Jack quickly answered. I couldn't help it, a huge giggled burst through my lips before I could clamp my hand over my mouth.
Addie burst out laughing in the same second I let mine go. She's laughing into Davy's shoulder and he's shaking too. Jessica let a big yawn escape through her little mouth. The sun was setting now. My mom thinks I'm spending the night at Addie's which I am.
"I really don't know what're laughing about." Sarah snapped. Her eyes shot to me and I looked away. Now is the perfect time to really get her pissed off and apparently Jack thought so too. I turned my head up to look at him and he was already looking at me.
"I'm cold." I sighed. Jack patted his lap and I gladly hopped on while he tried warming my arm with friction. I snuggled into his chest and later found myself sleeping in Addie's house.
I opened my eyes slightly only to see where I was, and fall back asleep after. I figured out I was in Addie's living room on the couch but I was way to close to the edge so I closed my eyes and rolled over only to get my feet caught in the blanket. I moaned and kicked my feet free. It was super cold so I tried rolling over again but I hit something warm. My eyes slowly opened to see Jack sleeping next to me, snoring. His face was so close to mine that I rolled back over but went too far. I landed with a thump on Addie's hardwood floors.
Jack's laugh was muffed into the couch's arm.
"Oh shut up Jack." I grumbled. I laid there for I don't know how long only because I was too lazy to get up.
"Where's Addie and Davy?" I wondered out loud.
"They went to the store to get things for the dinner Addie's going to make." Jack answered me.
"Do you know what she's making?" I asked into the blanket around me that was pressed into the floor.
"Tacos." Jack said closer now. He tried picking me up and onto the couch by my waist.
"Nooooo," I jumped up. I didn't like people picking me up for all they knew I could be the heaviest person in the room. I pulled up my pants doing a little dance and then grabbing the blanket off the floor. I sat down on the couch in front of Jack and got the remote off the coffee table in front of us. I started looking through the channels and finally stopped on Disney Channel for The Incredibles was on.
Jack wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to the side.
"Erin?" Jack sighed.
"Yeah?" I happily said.
"Really, Disney Channel?" He said sarcastically.
"Are you saying you don't like The Incredibles?" I said in awe.
"No tell me about it." Jack propped himself up on an elbow.
I got closer to his face for dramatic affect. "It's a movie about this superhero family that has to be in hiding and the dad wants to fight crime and he gets the whole family in a bunch of crap and the bad guy takes the baby and the baby goes all crazy and looses it and so he drops the baby in the air and the mom throws a car at him and he gets sucked into the blade thingy and dies." I had my forehead press against Jack's forehead like a football player, smiling at him.
"Erin, you are the weirdest girlfriend I have ever had." Jack laughed.
"Is that good or bad?" I questioned.
"I love psychos." Jack stated. I laughed and closed the distance, kissing his lips lightly but before I could turn away to way to watch the movie Jack slid his fingers through my hair. I was still kissing him when I heard a door close, so I opened my eyes and saw a hand come around the corner. Just then a horn way to loud for enjoyment went off and I practically jumped out of my pants.
"Hey look you finally woke up!" Addie's voice echoed through the kitchen. "Look what I got! It's this awesome horn almost like at the games."
"Good morning." Davy said with a whole bunch of grocery bags banging against each other.
"Let me see that," Jack muttered turning onto his back, "I'll shove it up your-"
"Addie do you have any pajamas I can borrow?" I asked wanting to get comfortable and talking over Jack.
"While I went and got your bathing suit I also got you a couple other things too." She smiled.
"Oh my god Addie just let me borrow your pajamas." I whined.
"You haven't even seen them!" She protested.
"Fine show me them." I sighed.
"Yay! Otay lets go." Addie said coming over to me and taking my wrist, leading me up the stairs.
I tried climbing the stairs as fast as her, I tripped on one stair. Once we got up to the second floor we had to pass Sarah and Amanda's room, I couldn't help it, I looked in to see Amanda in her bed reading with her glasses on and her hair pined up and Sarah in a tank top and pajama shorts. I looked away in time for Sarah to look at us, she was looking in the mirror at something. Addie opened the door to her room and I saw a hot topic bag sitting on her bed. She went over to it and pulled out a pair of Ninja Turtles boy pajama pants.
"Oh my god Addie," I trailed off.
"I know but that's just how I roll," Addie smiled. "They're the ones you wanted but they didn't have them when you wanted them so now you have the transformers and the ninja turtles! I have tops too." She added.
"Addie, I don't know what to say." I thought for a minute. "I was saving this until you really deserved it, Addie you are awesome." I smirked.
"I feel so special now!" Addie said sarcastically. She then pulled out a white tank top that says 'I love my boyfriend' with a black spaghetti string top go underneath.
"Thanks," I grumbled, there's always something to ruin the moment. I grabbed the clothes and headed to her bathroom, changing really fast. When I came out Addie wasn't there, probably already making the tacos.
"Nice shirt." Jack laughed. Addie giggled in the kitchen.
"You suck Addie." I yelled from the family room.
"I'm hungry." Davy whined.
"Everything's going to be ok mijho!" Addie said teasing. I snorted sitting down again on the couch, I started looking through the channels again since The Incredibles was over and Hannah Montana was on. I turned to Jack, he sat there the whole time watching Hannah Montana while I dressed, my goodness.
"Does my little Jacky poo love watching Hannah Montana?" I asked like I was talking to a baby, taking his cheeks in between my thumb and my pointer finger and moving his face left and right.
"Stop it Erin." Jack whined through his pinched cheeks. "Miley Cyrus is my wife."
"That's good Jack." I rolled my eyes. I looked over at Addie forming the taco shells out of corn tortillas. "Addie can I help you?"
"Yes you can cut up the tomatoes and lettuce." She said straight to the point. I got up and grabbed my ipod out of my bag. I wasn't much for purses but I've had this one for a couple years. It was a grayish black with tonal gloss print and tonal Fox embroidery, and a contrast Fox decal at the high front. Also a magnetic snap button opening at top and interior offers contrast lining, with a small open pocket, and a cell pocket. I went over to her ihome and plugged it in, putting it on my favorite genre, country.
"Rock n' roll and faded blue jeans!" I yelled through out the kitchen.
"Erin!" Davy yelled from the bar stool at the counter.
"Yeah?" I asked bring out the ingredients.
"I have an idea." He said. "Let's change the song to real music."
"You have no taste in music David. You don't even know who Sublime is." I pointed out.
"You need to shut up Erin." Davy pouted sticking his tongue out at me. I laughed and threw a chunk of tomato at him, it hit his chest and fell to the floor. He bent over to pick up the piece of food.
"That's right pick it up." I said in my tuff voice, pointing to the tomato. He picked up the food and chucked it at me, it went flying in the whole other direction, to the sink, but I still ducked.
"It didn't even come it your radar Erin, but yet you're completely taking cover from the flying food across the room." Jack laughed.
I started singing along with the songs, cutting up the taco supplies. I could barely hear Jack but he was singing along too. I smiled remembering the first time he burst out singing in the car.
We were driving back from the mall and headed to Del Taco because Jack had money and he was hungry. There was Nessie driving, George in the passenger seat, Addie sitting to the left to me and Jack sitting to my right. I just started hanging out with Jack and his friends but in stead of me being nervous, he was. He didn't speak or anything unless it was necessary.
"Aye put it on 105.1," I called over to George messing with the radio. He tuned it to my station, country.
It was quiet for a while, little talking here and there. But nobody expect what came next. I looked over at Jack, his fingers were tapping to the beat of Tim McGraw's song, Barbeque Stain.
"I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt, she was killing me in that mini skirt, skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks, she had a sun tan line and red lipstick, I worked so hard for that first kiss and a heart don't forget something like that." Jack sang louder than the volume. I never knew he like country. A giggled burst threw my lips and I turned and laughed into Jack's arm.
I cut the last piece of lettuce and gathered the tomatoes and lettuce and put them next to Addie, making the meat. I went over to the ihome and leaned over the counter to my ipod and played Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis.
"This one's for you Jack." I called over to him.
"Thanks babe." Jack replied looking through the channels.
"Let your new life begin call one eight hundred get slim." Davy shouted.
"Are you saying I'm fat?" Addie said shocked.
"No, no! You're curvy and beautiful! I love you?" Davy tried. Each time Addie's face got even more severe.
"He called you chunky Addie." I stated looking though the songs searching for the next one to play.
"You suck David." Addie pouted, "Here I am making tacos for you and you call me chunky."
"I thought it was fat." Jack spoke up. Davy shot him a dirty look.
"How many tacos do you want?" Addie said.
"How big are they?" I asked, jumping up to sit on the counter.
"Not that big." She said showing me a taco shell.
"Oh ok. Three please." I said.
"Eight," Jack said.
"Six?" Davy said like a question.
"No." Addie said stern. Then let out a huge giggle. "Davy you're such a retard!" He got this shocked look on his face.
"So can I have seven tacos?" Davy asked.
"Were you scared to ask for one more taco?" I questioned.
"Shut up Erin." He grumbled.
"Hey Davy, one eight hundred get slim!" I said jumping off the counter and putting my hands on my hips making him sound like an idiot.
Jack came up from behind and hugged me, resting his chin on my shoulder and kissed my cheek. I rested my arms on top of his around my waist, he was tired I could tell, tired or hungry I'm not sure. I was looking at Davy but looked away when he looked back at me, I turned to Addie. I touched Jack's face to let him know I was going and pushed out of his arms, he leaned up against the bar.
I got two plates and put three on mine and put eight taco shells on Jack's plate and put it on the counter.
"There's your's," I told him pointing to the plate. He trudged over to the plate the turned away and started walking back to the family room. "Jack?!" I frowned.
"I'm not hungry." He yawned. Definitely tired. I got his plate and filled the tacos taking it over to him, setting it on the coffee table and went and got him a coke out of the fridge and brought it to him, putting a coaster under it.
"Thank you Erin for making me tacos and getting me a drink." I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks." He smiled with his eyes closed, he looked drunk.
I went back and made my tacos and sat down next to Jack, closer than necessary. He opened the coke and took a drink. I looked at him and reached for the coke half way and he put it into my hand. I took a sip and gave it back to him. I saw Jack looking at me out of the corner of my eye, he pulled us back and me into his side laying down.
I ended up not eating and drinking the rest of Jack's soda and sleeping. When I woke up I was drooling into Jack's chest my arms squished in between us. I quickly closed my mouth and wiped his shirt, it wasn't a lot it was just a dot. Jack was sleeping his head resting on mine, snoring. I don't know why but light snoring or breathing seems cute to me, corny right? I stretched my neck up and kissed his neck and fell back asleep.
***
I woke up around 11:30 a.m. on Addie's couch alone. I smelt bacon, chorizo and eggs.
"Wow Addie you're like the chef." I complimented her.
"Why thank you Erin." A different voice sounded, Sarah.
"Oh morning Sarah." I sighed. "Do you know where Addie is?"
"I'm Amanda, and Addie's in the shower." She said.
"Sorry," I mumbled into the couch. Addie came out with a towel wrapped around her head and a coca cola robe from when we went to Las Vegas with her family.
"Eww! Why are you making chorizo?" Addie wrinkled her nose.
"Because the world doesn't revolve around you Addie." Amanda stated.
"I like it, we made it for my mom on mother's day." I blurted out not wanting any family feud to go on when I'm here.
"That's good Erin, you think about others and what they like, instead of yourself." Addie told me, the whole time she was glaring at Amanda. Who didn't seem to care.
"What's your problem? Erin likes it, I like it and Sarah likes it. See? No need to spazz out." Amanda calmly said, looking down at the food she was cooking.
Addie rolled her eyes and came over to where I was laying down and turned on the TV.
"What's on the agenda for today?" I asked when Malcom in the Middle went to commercial.
"Um I don't know." She replied.
Hmm what can we do? Oh I know! My grandma showed me this place when I was ten or eleven, The Hill. It was a huge hill that over looked Forks where a rope swing is tided to a tree and you could swing over it all.
"Addie, I know the perfect place!" I smiled.
Where?"
"The swinging hill." I say.
"Alright let's go." Addie said, getting up.
"Hey but can I take a shower?" I asked.
"Yeah you know where everything is. I bought you a new outfit too!" Addie smirked.
"Addie you're spending way too much money on me," I frowned.
"That's just how I roll," Addie sighed, pleased with herself.
"Hey let's pick up George too," I said coming into the kitchen, my hair dripping from the shower.
I actually liked what Addie had this time. I wore a gray long sleeve shirt with little vintage pink, yellow and orange flowers patterned on it and my usual Dickies skinny jeans with my converse.
"Yeah ok," Addie agreed.
"I'll call him later. Can we go to iHop? They have four dollar pancakes. Did you know it's National Pancake Day today?" I stated.
"Really now?" She mumbled too intense with the game of Mario Kart she was playing on her Wii.
I rolled my eyes and opened the fridge and got a water bottle.
"Aye, can you get me one?" Addie said louder than necessary.
I grabbed another and opened it for her because I knew she'd ask anyway. I threw my water bottle up in the air by the lid and caught it right side up but it an awkward way.
"Come on you can do it! Just a few more steps!" Addie cheered.
"You're so very funny Addie, please teach me your ways," I said sarcastically.
"Step one," She paused and didn't continue.
"Keep going," I waited.
"I can't tell you! It's a secret! The Addie ways are for Addie's only," She said like it was the most oblivious thing ever.
"Psshhh, I'm good without your lessons," I smiled to myself, smug.
Addie suddenly turned of the television, "Alright, let's go get some grub," She went into the kitchen and grabbed the keys of the counter and was the door, she probably lost to Mario Kart. I was still sitting on the couch, I let out a laugh.
"ERIN!" Addie yelled from outside. I sat there until Addie let out another burst, "Erin, get your ass out here," She laughed, frustrated.
"Okay!" I said, hopping up and grabbing my bag. Once I was in the car with my seatbelt on I turned to Addie and gave her my biggest smile. She glared at me and I tried to wriggle my eye brows and she busted out laughing.
"Alright, let's listen to some real music, now!" Addie sang while putting in her favorite CD of The Beatles and tuned in to track 5, Good Day Sunshine.
We tried looking for a parking spot for five minutes until there was one up front.
"Addie up there!" I almost shrieked at her.
She sped over to it but somebody else had their blinker on and as going to take it.
"No use, he's got it," I sighed.
"Oh hell nah," Addie grinned evilly, pressing the gas pedal, racing and dodged a pulling out car along with people getting to their cars. She pulled into the space exactly when a huge horn went off. The whole time I'm holding on for dear life and my eyes wide.
"Oh my freaking gosh Addie!" I yelled. I was also impressed, no injuries this time. Last time I hit my head on the dash board. She just pressed the button that moves the seat down and put her hands behind her head.
"Mario Kart says I'm fifth, I say, I'M FIRST BABY! Hell yeah!" She screamed, so damn pleased with herself. Addie stomped her feet on the floor, pounding her hands on the steering wheel.
"Come on champ, let's go," I laughed, opening my door.
Addie POV:
"Psh. Dude yea im a champ and you know it." I said, strutting to the door and opening it for an elderly couple.
We walked in and I sat down in one of the booths in the waiting area and pulled out my ipod and going to bubble wrap. Erin sat down next to me, taking out her phone and texting. Probably Jack, if they're away from each other they're always texting each other.
"Who you texting? Hmm? Is it someone by the name of Jack Williams? Hmm? Chica tell me!" I said really fast grabbing her phone and standing up, and going through her text messages. And wadda you know? She was texting? Oh golly jeepers it's Jack! Here is some of the dumb corny stuff they say:
Erin: hey babe! This is just a lil reminder to you from me. I wanted to remind you that im ridiculously in love with you. I love everything about you and I want to be with you until im old with arthritis from texting too much…(so that means your guna have to brush my teeth) I'll do anything for you love. I'd walk to the end of the world if I had to. I promised I'd knit you a sweater and I keep my promises. You make me such a happy girl. I love you. Love: Erin Rose
Jack: I love you babe.
Erin: I hope that made ur day3
Jack: No not really. just kidding It made my whole life time
Erin: well don't I feel special
Jack: you should ur beautiful you know
Erin: no but thanks for the compliment
I just shut the phone right there and handed it back to Erin, "You guys are the most disgusting couple I have ever met in my entire life."
"Its not gross!" She defended, coming to sit next to me on the little booth, "I think it's cute that he does stuff like that."
"It's not cute, it's totally disgusting and unmanly that he does that." I said, crossing my legs and getting out my ipod.
It was a pretty long wait but we finally got our table. We were enjoying our pancakes and hash browns when some dude that looked familiar came up to our table and sat down.
"Um, can I help you?" I asked cautiously, it's not every day when a random guy comes over to sit at your table.
"Yes as a matter of fact you can." He replied smoothly, smirking at me.
"Do you go to Forks High?" I blurted out, hopefully he didn't.
"Yeah, I just graduated, what about you?" He said leaning closer to me.
"No I live on the reservation," I lied smoothly, I didn't want him stalking me or Erin.
"So, wadda ya say we go somewhere more private?" He said, leaning even closer to me.
"Aha no thank you," I said leaning way back in my seat. "I don't go random places with really creepy dudes."
He looked disappointed for a minute but then he remembered that Erin was with me, "What about you?" He turned to Erin.
Erin looked at him with wide eyes before stuffing a whole bunch of pancakes and hash browns in her mouth and gesturing that she couldn't talk.
I turned to him, "I guess that says it all for you. Bye now! Don't come back!"
"Uh, bye I guess." He said, getting up slowly and walking away.
After he was out of sight I looked over at Erin who was trying to swallow her food, "Just spit it out and eat it again, it's always better the second time."
She snorted and spit in the napkin, "And you say that me and Jack are gross!"
"You are." I replied calmly, taking a drink of my orange juice, "You're gross in your own little special way.
"Thanks," She muttered into her own glass of orange juice, "I feel so special right now."
"I can't take any more of these little adventures," I said, grabbing the check and getting up from my seat, "Lets just go get Georgie and have some more fun."
"Okay." she said following me out of iHop.
Erin's POV:
As we got into the car my phone vibrated. Jack.
"Dude Erin, nah uh!" Addie whined.
I hurried up and replied to Jack.

He stopped texting me after that.
"Hey does Georgie even know if we're picking him up?" Addie asked while I stared out the window. "Aww Erin's sad because she cant see Jacky poo."
"No I'm not, I was thinking," I rolled my eyes, "I'll call George right now." I got my phone out of my jacket pocket and looked through my contacts to find his number.
The phone rang twice before he picked up.
"Hello?" He called over the voices in the background.
"George we're guna pick you up, where are you?" I said.
"Eh I can't I'm babysitting my brother and his friend." He grumbled into the phone.
"Let's take them too!" Addie joined in.
"They can come." I repeated.
"Alright fine. What time are you coming?" He said over the phone.
"Now." Addie called over.
"Okay bye." George yelled over somebody. The call kept going and we could still hear what was going on in the background. "Conner get you and your friend ready we're leaving in a couple minutes."
"With Nessie?" I heard somebody say.
"No with Erin and Addie."
"Is Jack going to be there?"
"No, we get to hang out with the girls today."
"This is guna suck."
"Shut up and get in the shower fag and take her in there with you."
"She can't take a shower with me!"
"You did it when you were little, hurry up."
"AYE GEORGE WE CAN HEAR YOU. YOU DIDN'T HANG UP THE PHONE." I yelled into the phone to make sure he could hear me. Addie giggled and I snapped the phone shut.
"He's such a retard." I laughed. I reached up and ran my hand down a beautiful rosary Addie had around her mirror. "When did you get this?"
"Like a week ago, my mom makes me go to these bible clubs nowadays." She sighed.
"That sucks but it's good for you." I tried.
"Yeah whatever, I'm learning about Jesus and god and the holy spirit. It kinda feels good leaving though, like you started over again. All your sins gone because you pay your time and learn about it all."
"We try to go to church, just haven't reminded each other about it." I mumbled and looked out the window again.
"Erin open the glove compartment." Addie told me. I did as she said and looked at her, "Get that little light blue box and take one." I opened the box and found about five more rosaries.
"Addie these are yours-" I started.
"Oh don't you dare start with that crap just take one." She cut me off.
"Okay then missy." I stuck my tongue out at her. I grabbed one, the beads looked like light blue marble and the cross with Jesus on it was detailed, I stuck it in a pocket hidden in my bag.
"Thanks Addie." I said.
"What? What was that?" She said ten times louder than me.
"Thank. You. Adeline." I repeated like a robot but louder this time.
"Oh psshhh you're welcome little buddy!" She smiled her Addie smile and flicked her wrist like a California girl.
"Tell Georgie to be out front, I'm not waiting for him."I picked up my phone and did what I was supposed to. When I was done I reached to turn on the radio but Addie slapped my hand.
"Ow!" I screamed. "What's wrong with you!" I said rubbing it.
"Rule number one." She held up one finger. "Never touch my radio. Rule number two." I guess I'm getting counting lessons too. I rolled my eyes and grabbed the skittles I saw in the little compartment by the gearshift. "Don't touch my skittles." She smacked my arm forcing me to put my hand over it with the skittles. Addie snatched up those skittles like lightning.
"You suck Addie." I pouted. She looked over at me and handed me a red skittle. "Oh joy!" I said with fake happiness and laughed.
"Ssshhhhh! Be quiet. It's quiet time. The children are sleeping! Ahhhh." She laughed.
"Oh so sorry." I said quickly. If anybody was to hear us or see us they'd think, idiots.
"It's ok it's ok." She whispered.
We pulled along the sidewalk of George's house and Addie honked the horn. It seems like you couldn't hear it through the rain but they did. George ran through the rain with Conner and his girlfriend behind him. He got into the car letting in the cold and pointing to the other side for the other two.
"Hurry up and close the door it's freezing out side." Addie complained what I was thinking in my head.
"Get in the car Conner." Georgie leaned on the seat looking through the other window at Conner and the girl.
"Don't be mean to him." I cried. "You have to open that door, he can't open it from the outside."
"Alright alright." George chuckled.
"You can react faster than staring at me in the rain." Conner said dripping wet. The girl just got in behind him and sat there quiet.
Nobody was talking except George singing as loud as he could to the Sublime CD he asked us to put in. I would sing along to some songs out loud with him and some in my head.
When we stopped at a red streetlight George spoke up.
"Hey I have a better idea."
"What?" I asked
"Let's go laser tagging." He said.
"Oh yeah! Can we Addie." I pleaded.
"I don't care do you guys wanna go?" She asked turning around to Conner and his friend.
"I don't care." Conner replied.
Addie looked at the girl.
"I don't mind anything." She softly said.
"I'm sorry what?" Addie almost yelled at the girl.
"Addie the light's green." I told her. "You need you're hearing checked, she said she doesn't mind anything." I added.
"Let us vote." George pressed his fingers together looking at us in the back. This is going to be interesting.
