A/N Oh my goodness! I am terrible sorry for not updating for weeks! I've recently broken my laptop (Again) and all my documents are on there. Blame my dad, aha. ; So I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Destiney's POV
The door opened and I saw Ms. Ryan. I haven't seen her much, she's been going through divorce with Mr. Calloway, or who used to be Mr. Ryan. Her eyes were all puffy and red, it looked like she was crying and I knew she was crying. Probably another phone call from that cheating bimbo dater. Even though Mr. Calloway isn't my Dad and Jake really isn't my brother, I hate Mr. Calloway with passion. Ms. Ryan was always this happy go-lucky woman, always cheerful no matter what. Until, she found out Mr. Calloway was cheating on her for a year with some blond bimbo. The divorce was harsh, and Jake took it hard. He was depressed for awhile and I was always there for him.
Ms. Ryan smiled and hugged me once she saw me. She squealed with delight as she hugged me saying things like 'aww, look out how much you've grown' or 'I've missed you so much'. I looked over at Jake after she let me go, his face looked like a ripe tomato. I couldn't help, but giggle at how funny he looked.
We followed Ms. Ryan in suit as we walked into the kitchen. On our way in, I threw my bag on the bottom of the staircase.
"You two look hungry! Why don't you two sit down and I'll cook up some homemade dinner!" she exclaimed as she clapped her hands together. We both nodded and sat down a little while after we helped set up the table. I was about to tell her how good the food smelled, but was interrupted by a perky shriek. I looked over at the doorway and saw Jake's little sister. Cassie, his 4 year old sister, ran all the way over to the table and threw her little arms around me. I giggled as I pulled some of her beautiful blond hair out of my mouth.
"I mwissed you Dwestiney,"she said as she hugged me. After about 5 minutes and a little help from Jake, she was pried off of me. We started dinner and it felt so homey. Everything felt comfortable to me, of course it would, I've been in his home more than I've been in my own. My brother's never home and we don't live with our parents. I couldn't stand leaving Malibu so at age 11, my brother and I moved back with our nanny. She moved out just recently because my brother turned 16. During dinner it was pretty awkward.
"So, you two, I was watching 'This week in Hollywood' and saw a little video of you two, care to explain,"she questioned. I looked at Jake as he turned another shade of bright red.
"Oh-um,we,"Jake stuttered. I giggled as I reached over and pinched his cheek.
"Jakey, you are so cute when your nervous," I cooed. Jake just slid down his chair as Cassie and Ms. Ryan giggled.
"Well, since we've been friends for awhile, we thought it would be cool to try out something more so we did," I continued for Jake. We finished dinner and began cleaning the table and the dishes.
After dinner, I helped finished the dishes and just when I was about to dash upstairs Ms. Ryan grabbed my wrist to stop me. I looked at her with a questioning look.
"Thank you," she said in a motherly way. Uh, what ?!
"Huh?" I questioned. I didn't get what she was thanking me for. I should be the one thanking her for a great dinner.
She chuckled and said," Oh sweetie, Jake hasn't been so..happy? These couple months because of this while divorce thing and you just seem to brighten his day no matter what." She smiled as tears rolled down her cheeks. I nodded in shock, I didn't know I was such a big part in his life. I quickly made my way upstairs. I opened his bedroom door and quickly closed it behind Jake stood there with his arms crossed as I looked up to him as I set up my sleeping bag.
I looked up at him with an innocent smile. "Jakey, you are so cute when your nervous," he mocked me with a girly voice and hand movements. Wow, he's pretty good. Damn, I gotta think that out loud didn't I?!
"Aha, Very funny," he replied sarcastically as he bent down and picked me up. He threw me on the bed as I erupted into a fit of laughter. He chuckled and walked over to his laptop. I laid on his bed as I flipped through channels on his TV. I heard him laugh and chuckle a couple of times, so the curious girl that I am, I wandered over there. I stood behind him as he chatted with Miley, UGH.
Miley - SmileyMiley
Jake- ZomebieSlayerJR
Lilly- SkaterChic
Oliver- Smokin'Oken
Destiney- OhWheeItsDusti
ZombieSlayerJR - Remember the first time I came to Sea view elementary school?
SmileyMiley- Aha, yeah. You were totally obnoxious in the 5th grade ZombieSlayerJR - But you gotta admit I was pretty cute. SmileyMiley - Yeah, you were so cute! Just like you are now ;) ZombieSlayerJR - LOL, sarcasm? SmileyMiley - No actually, I meant it. You SmileyMiley - LOL, so... ZombieSlayerJR - Now you admit it. ZombieSlayerJR - Any who...
OH MY GOSH. Miley's hitting on my BOYFRIEND. Wait, he's not my actual boyfriend, but still.Just thinking about it makes me want to tear her head off. What kind of friend is she?! I thought she was the one nagging about how me and him are meant to be. Grr, Whatever. I still can't believe she'd actually do that.
Jake stood up and walked into the bathroom after he told me he was going to go take a shower. I shrugged and hopped into his chair. I signed off his and then signed onto mine.
OhwheeitsDusti has just signed on.
SkaterChic- DESTINEY! Girl we need to hang out more. OhwheeitsDusti - LOL okay how about tomorrow? SkaterChic- Just me and you okay? OhwheeitsDusti - Why no Miley? Aha SkaterChic - Because, me and you have been friends way longer than with Miley. OhwheeitsDusti - LOL, true. And we OhwheeitsDusti - Why don SkaterChic - KAY. LOL Smokin Smokin SkaterChic - You see what a loser he is?! OhwheeitsDusti - LOL but he Smokin
After about 10 minutes of chatting, she felt two wet hands on her forearms, I was being lift up. Jake had lifted me and put me on his lap.
"So, why aren't you talking to Miley," he asked as he noticed Miley's username wasn't in our conversation.
"Oh, Um.. Lilly, Oliver and I are just bonding, " I quickly said. Jake nodded and wrapped his arms around my waist. I immediately felt butterflies in my stomach. I forgot that I was still on.
OhwheeitsDusti - What? SkaterChic - What are you doing right now? LOL OhwheeitsDust - Oh, I Smokin SkaterChic - Yeah what he said. OhwheeitsDusti- You guys! We SkaterChic - Sure, whatever.
I felt Jake tense up from behind, so I giggled.. He tickled me, and I squealed the moment his fingers touched my sides. He stopped and I told Oliver and Lilly that I had to go.
OhwheeitsDusti has just signed off.
I hopped off Jake's lap and climbed onto his king-size bed and flipped on the TV again. Jake sat there for about an hour chatting to Miley. I'd look over and saw she would try to flirt with him some way, but I let it go. Jake was with ME now not her. Even though it was only pretend I knew that he wouldn't break my heart because I'm his best friend. The only thing I'm afraid of is that this whole roleplay thing will affect our friendship. I laid on his bed staring at the TV, just dazed.
Jake's POV
I looked over at my bed and noticed Destiney just laying there staring at the TV, it looked like she was watching something interesting. I looked at what she was watching and shook my head,, she was watching some infomercial on a swifter or something. Maybe she really isn't watching.
ZomebieSlayerJR - Miles, I gotta go, talk to you soon.
ZombieSlayerJR has signed off.
I walked over and snatched the remote out of her hands. She quickly snapped her head over at me and glared.. She took the remote back, and it went like that until she swing her tiny fist at my arm. So that resulted in us wrestling. The door swung open when I was on top of her and when I pinned her wrist to my comforter.
"JACOB?! What on earth are you doing," my mom shrieked. I jumped off, my heart beating 100 miles per hour. I didn't know what to say, I was just too embarrassed.
"Ms. Ryan, we were just wrestling for the remote," Destiney said calmly. How can she do that and I can't? I can learn a lot from her. My mom nodded and walked out of the room quickly, not fast enough for me to see her pale face. Once she closed the door Destiney and I bursted out in laughter.After about 10 minutes of laughing we caught our breathes.
"That was–soo. f...funny," she said in a fit of giggles. We both stopped and looked around my room. We noticed that my bed sheet was out of place and comforter and pillows were all over the floor. Destiney climbed off my bed and began picking up the pillows. I got off too and began fixing my bed sheet.
Once we were done fixing everything again, Destiney climbed into her sleeping bag and snuggled in it. A whole five minutes went by until I heard a silent snore. I chuckled as I rolled over to the side of my bed and looked down at Destiney. Her sleeping bag was pulled all the way up and rested under a chin. She looked so peaceful and looked like she was enjoying her sleep. So, instead of waking up her like I'd usually do, I rolled over to the middle of my bed and went to sleep.
Normal POV
Nina Ryan went into her son's room to check on him and his new girlfriend. She walked and couldn't help but smile at the sight before her. She walked over to his bed and tucked him in tighter, making sure she didn't step on Destiney. She kissed him on his forehead and knelt down beside the beautiful young girl on the floor. She bent down and kissed her on the forehead too. In her mind, she thought about how they used to make mud pies in her back yard, starting out with clean clothes, but after 3 minutes the two would be covered in mud. She laughed to herself as she closed the door behind her, letting a tear slide down her cheek, reminiscing the memories of the two.
