Hey guys! Thanks for leaving me some reviews! I love reading them! This is probably going to be a long fanfic, so enjoy!
Narrator's POV:
"Jess, grab a jacket", Luke nagged, grabbing his fishing equipment. "Don't need one", Jess replied, grabbing a book. He knew that these fishing trips meant a lot to Luke, especially this one because Jess had agreed to Luke being his official guardian, but Jess honestly was just happy to get out of work for the day.
"Take these down to the truck", Luke says, handing Jess a few bottles of water. Jess takes the bottles and drops them when his phone goes off for the 35th time in the past five minutes. Luke was fed up with the annoying ding that he heard every time Jess got a text. "Give me your phone", Luke orders. "I'll put it on vibrate, Luke, come on", Jess tries. The phone goes off again and Luke just reaches into his nephew's pocket and takes the phone. He begins to read the texts. "Jess, ditch that lame-ass diner, lets make out. I'm in the mood for some...", Luke reads the text messages out loud making a face of disgust. Jess cracks a half-smile, "What can I say, I always leave them wanting more", he smirks. "On that nauseating note, get in the truck, I'll bring the rest of the stuff down myself", Luke orders. Jess smiles to himself, realizing that he got out of helping, then goes down to the truck, ignoring the group of people huddled outside of diner. When Jess opens the door to exit, he's immediately bombarded with questions on why the diner is closed. He ignores all of them but before getting into the truck he states, "You people need lives".
Luke's POV:
I row the canoe out in the lake and put bait on my line and do the same for Jess, who's reading a book. I hand him the fishing line and he takes it with one hand still not looking up.
"Jess, put the book down, fishing requires complete concentration"
The boy reluctantly puts the book down and takes the line with two hands. "You know what I love about these fishing trips?", I ask. "Fascinate me", he mumbles, bored. "You're forced to talk to me and you have nowhere to go to try and get out of a conversation", I answer, smiling. Jess rolls his eyes.
"So tell me about Shane"
"Nothing to tell"
"What do you mean there's nothing to tell? You two have been going out for almost two months now"
"She's a good kisser", Jess shrugs.
"That's all you have to say about her? Nothing about her personality? What's she like?"
"A good kisser"
"Nothing else?"
"Oh, she's good at some other things but I really don't think you want to hear about them", he smirks.
I roll my eyes and change the subject before I get any details. "So, have you heard from your mom?", I ask. I see Jess uncomfortably look down at his shoes, I notice he does that every time I mention her. "What do you think?", he asks sarcastically, trying to hide his frustration.
"Well, she called me yesterday at like three in the morning", I tell him.
"I didn't hear the phone ring"
"You sleep like a dead person"
"Well, what did she want?", Jess asks, trying really hard not to show interest.
"I was going to wait to tell her later, but I told her about how I wanted to get full custody of you and sort of make it official. She didn't really object it or argue but she said she wanted you to visit before it was really official"
"Why? She never calls me, or checks up on me. Christmas was three months ago, she didn't even bother to call", Jess begins, his voice getting louder and louder, the frustration in his voice, growing more and more.
"Jess, calm down, it's just one visit. That's all. Then it's over. Then the only thing you have to worry about is staying out of trouble so I don't beat your ass", I joke, trying to make light of the situation.
"Whatever", he mumbles, sounding defeated.
