I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Julie's Point of View-
I sat on the couch next to my brother watching whatever he had turned it to not really interested in it and saw that it was about 8 PM on the VHS player clock.
"I'm going to go shower and pack…then I'll probably turn it in…" I said.
"You do nothing but sleep…" Wade said.
"I'm a college student, we do nothing but sleep…plus, I love my sleep…"
"You can't say that anymore next week…"
"I know, but give me time to think of another reason besides that and loving it…"
"Fine whatever…will you at least come out and say good-night?"
"No…" I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes getting up from the couch heading down the hall before I got half way turning back around heading back to the living leaning against the wall as I peeked around the corner to see Wade not in there knowing he must have just got up to go check his laundry. I walked around the corner going to where our laundry room was seeing him bent over pulling clothes out of the dryer, "You got to warn someone about there being a full moon out…" I said jokingly as he snapped up as I chuckled to myself.
"I thought you were going back to your room." Wade said.
"I was…I came out to ask when Stephen and Drew were going to come pick us up in the morning?" I asked as I leant against the door frame.
"I believe they are going to be here at 9 AM…you have their numbers, text them…" Wade said.
"I will…" I said as I stood up from the wall pulling my phone from my pocket starting a new text to Stephen asking when he will be here in the morning so I knew when to set my alarm. I went into my room going straight to my closet pulling out the suitcase that I haven't used in a while when my phone lit up from where I had placed it on the bed seeing it was a text opening it seeing Stephen had wrote back.
'I got to pick Drew up at 7:30 AM, I'll be there probably about 8:30 AM, we all know how Drew is slow as molasses in the morning…how'd your class go? What'd you get on your essay?'
'We all know Drew can be an ass and moves a lot slower when he knows you are in a rush. I got an A- on my essay so I passed my class pretty much…' I wrote back as I tossed it back onto my bed next to where my suitcase was going back to my closet pulling down 5 pairs of jeans, one extra pair just in case and especially when I'm with these guys extra clothes never hurt, I grabbed a pair of basketball shorts or two to wear while we drove from city to city so I could be comfortable and could use if I were to get into the ring and I pushed all the hangers to the side so I can go through all the t-shirts I had when I saw my ring attire hanging up in the far back of my closet smile creeping onto my face as memories about being in the ring flooded my mind along with ones that involved mix-tag matches with Wade and Drew, never really worked with Stephen during a match.
"Hey, we need more – is that your ring attire?" Wade asked as I turned to look at him as he stood in the door way being able to look into my now open closet.
"Yes sir…it's been hanging here since we moved here…I think I have wore it a few times when we did the Indy leagues…" I said shrugging.
"Pack it…" Wade said.
"Why? I'm not going to be wearing it." I said as I slid another hanger over to view the shirt better.
"You never know…" Wade said.
"Don't encourage me Wade, I'm tempted enough and I don't see any use to why I would need it…what do we need more of?" I asked going back to what he was originally going to say.
"Oh, I was going to go to the store to get more laundry detergent, you need anything?" Wade asked.
"No, I'm good…" I said.
"Alright…you talk to Stephen?"
"He is going to be here about 8:30, he is looking at getting Drew before he comes here and we all know how Drew is in the morning…" I said.
"He's much like you are in the morning, slow as molasses…"
"Am not!" I said in a resent.
"You are too…we all know you hate mornings, I'm planning on having a coffee ready for you when you wake up…"
"That would be helpful…" I said smirking.
"I'm going to go to the store then…can you-"
"Move your laundry over when it's done if you're not home? Got it." I said nodding as he smirked as he turned around heading out of the house going through my closet grabbing six t-shirts to bring with me and I pushed the hangers back over to view my attire again being tempted to bring it but I knew that I shouldn't because there was no reason to have it and it will consume space in my suitcase for nothing. I folded what I had sliding it into my light purple suitcase seeing my phone go off again pulling it to me flipping it open seeing a text from Stephen and a text from Drew.
'Congrats, what do you want for a graduation gift?' Stephen asked as I rolled my eyes knowing he didn't have to get me anything so I flipped to the next message from Drew.
'Do you know when our flight is? Wade hasn't wrote back yet.' Drew asked, I wrote Drew back telling him what Stephen told me before I went back to Stephen's text to write him back.
'Thanks, I just want a job that I love and advice…' I said as I put my phone down as I continued putting things into my bag until it was filled with my clothes seeing my phone light up for the first time grabbing it opening it to see Stephen's name.
'What about wrestling? You know, it's hard to have a heart to heart via text…have you talked to Wade?' Stephen asked.
'You ever tried to have a heart to heart with Wade? He's my brother and I love him, he protects me and looks out for me which I appreciate but he's not that good in advice.' I said as I chuckled as I knew Wade was never good at it, even when I was younger he never gave the most perfect advice and yeah he listened which I appreciated but he never flat out helped. I went to the bathroom I shared as the guest bathroom grabbing a few bottles from my perfume collection bringing it back with me putting it up checking my phone seeing a text from Drew saying thanks, and a text from Stephen.
'You're right, we'll talk tomorrow?' Stephen asked.
"'I'll sit next to you on the plane.'" I said as I wrote it out in the text excited about tomorrow to spend some quality time with Stephen, I loved Stephen because he would goof off with Wade, Drew and I because us four have been through so much and have always been like the four amigos but Stephen was also sensible and I could talk to him, he would listen and give me advice that seemed reasonable. Drew and Wade would give advice only on things they thought they knew about and aren't that helpful, Stephen is wise in my book and I loved talking to him about things because he had an unique way of thinking and helping me solve things that seemed so complex. I tossed my phone aside as I grabbed another pair of pajamas taking them to the bathroom putting them onto the toilet after I put the cover down hearing the dryer go off along with the washer not even a minute afterwards. I walked out going to the laundry room pulling the clothes out of the dryer putting Wade's clothes into his basket that was filled with clothes from the past load he hasn't folded yet moving the wet clothes over to dryer before I went back to the bathroom closing the door taking a quick shower. I climbed out of the shower dressing before wrapping my hair up in a towel before I grabbed the things from within the shower to take with me on the trip checking my phone not seeing anything so I closed it putting those up before I put a few other things I won't need in the morning in my bag putting my suitcase aside before I plugged my phone in climbing onto my bed leaning against the wall at the top of my bed as I heard the front door open knowing Wade was home. "The moment I get comfortable…" I said as I growled as I got out of my bed making my way out to greet him. "Hey, I put your clothes in the dryer and put the clothes in the dryer in your basket…" I said.
"Thanks…nice doorag." He said chuckling, he always laughed at that joke even though he made it every time I had done this with my towel.
"Thanks…you need help folding?" I asked.
"Nah…I got it…you packed?" Wade asked.
"Almost…just a few things that I need to pack in the morning after I use them." I said shrugging.
"Alright…well I bought you something…" Wade said.
"Oh good god, I'm scared...the last time you said you bought me something it was a fake spider and you chased me around the house with it trying to scare me…" I said.
"It's not a fake spider…this time it's edible."
"Ew, I don't want to eat a spider…." I said.
"No, no, no…it's not an edible spider, I bought you some ice cream to split with me…." He said.
"Oh…thanks…" I said as he pulled out the container of the rocky road ice cream. "I'll get the bowls if you go get your laundry, I'll help you fold them…" I said as he nodded as I went and grabbed a couple of bowls pulling them down before I begun scooping ice cream into them carrying them out to the living room handing him a bowl after he put his now folded shirt down, we ate our ice cream that was melting in the bowls between the folding of his clothes.
"Thanks…" Wade said.
"No problem…I'm going to finish my ice cream then I'm off to bed…" I said.
"Good…" Wade said sarcastically as he carried the basket of folded clothes past me to take it to his room, I ate at my ice cream as Wade came back joining me and ate at his ice cream until I finished standing up taking care of my bowl before I headed out of the kitchen.
"Night Wade…I love you." I said.
"Night Julie, love you too." Wade said as I headed down the hall making a stop at the bathroom putting the towel up and headed into my room enjoying a chapter or two in my book before I turned my lamp off scooting down my bed to get comfortable to get some sleep before I had to be up to get ready for the days ahead of me.
