Jay's Pov:
*6 weeks after the first day of school*
John was laying on the couch next to me with his head on Clarke's lap and his feet on mine. I have my arm wrapped around Raven as she and Kate play Mario kart. My puppies are on their laps sleeping as Art curls up to Evie. Bellamy is sitting next to Kate, as Octavia paces behind us.
"He is late." she says looking at the clock. "The reservation is at 8 and he is late, the restaurant is an hour away."
"Relax O he will be here." Clarke said.
She continued to pace as Raven wins. After 10 minutes I had enough. I pushed John's feet off my lap.
"Clarke, can I borrow your truck?" I asked my twin.
"Why?" she asked.
I nodded to the pacing Octavia and Clarke handed me her keys.
"Come on Raven, Octavia." I headed out the door.
I heard them following as I got into the front seat of Clarke's truck. Raven sat in the passenger as Octavia got in the back.
"Where are we going Jayjay?" Raven asked.
"O is going to give me directions to the Pine's house."
20 minutes later we arrived at the three-story house of the Pines home. I got out of the car, leaning against the front waiting for my girlfriend and bestfriend.
"You know it's weird driving an actual car." I told Raven as she caught up to me.
"Yeah but you do look hot in front of it." she kissed me.
"Ew, enough with the cuteness." Octavia jokes.
"Shut up O." Raven pushed her shoulder.
"Let's go see where blockhead is." I said jokingly.
We walked up to the door, Octavia knocked. His mother Indra answered.
"Hi Mrs. Pine is Lincoln home?" she asked.
"Yeah he is upstairs with his creative writing partner." she said letting us in.
Raven and I looked at each other strangely then back at Mrs. Pines.
"Is Lexa and Anya home too?" I asked.
"No they are with Costia." she said leaving and heading to her car.
We headed upstairs to the third floor. Octavia put her hand over the nob, it was shaking like she was scared. So I grabbed her and pulled her back so she was standing next to Raven. Raven grabbed her hand so it would stop shaking. I took a deep breath in as I opened the door. Once it was open the first thing I saw was Lincoln on the bed with his shirt off and his pants halfway off, and Emory under him in her bra and shorts. What I did next it felt like I was on autopilot. He heard the door open and was trying to get off of Emori and stand up. I was standing right next to them by the time they were upright. I couldn't stop my actions or my brain as I kick Lincoln in the nuts, and slapped Emori.
"That is for cheating on my bestfriend." I told Lincoln after I kneed him, "and that is for my brother, and you are off the team." I told Emori.
"What! You need me for the game against Azgeda!" she yelled.
"We have enough players, with Kate and Octavia now on the team." I headed back to Raven and Octavia.
"Coach won't agree!"
I spun around, "Why don't we go ask him when we were outside I heard him shooting goals." She backed away. "So I take that as a No?" She nodded. "Now if either one of you goes near John or Octavia I will do worse then I just did."
"What about first period?" Lincoln asked.
"I will ask Mrs. Waters to let Octavia be partners with Costia because I know she won't cheat on Lexa." I said leaving with Octavia and Raven following me.
But instead of going to the front door I went to the backyard.
"Mr. Woods." I called out.
He turned toward me. "Yes, Jay?"
"I just wanted to tell you that Emori is no longer on the team."
"Oh why?" he raises an eyebrow.
"Because I can't have someone on the team who can't be loyal?" I told him beating around the question. Hoping he wouldn't question it any further.
But no such luck.
"Did something happen that made you feel that she can't be loyal to the team?"
"No, not necessarily towards the team but…"
"But what?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Well sir I...listen sir I just feel that she is not the right fit for this team, I hope you trust my judgment and can trust that I have a good reason for kicking her off the team." I told him shyly really not wanting to go into detail on something so personal in my bestfriends life.
He was silent for a while before he nodded.
"Okay I trust you and your judgment, you are an excellent captain, and one I am glad is on my team. And please call me Nyko, sir is too formal." he smiled.
"With all due respect Mr. Woods, my dad and mom always told us to call people we respect by their last names because it is disrespectful to call them by their first name especially if they are older than us."
He nodded, "I will see you at practice Monday morning." he said returning to shooting goals.
We left him to what he was doing and instead of going home I went to an arcade type building called the Dropship to cheer up Octavia. We stayed there until closing then we headed home. We went to my room. Raven and Octavia went to my bed while I leaned against my desk watching them as Octavia started to cry into Raven's shoulder.
'If I stayed during the summer maybe I could have prevented this.' I thought.
My door was open, I heard someone walk to the bathroom and saw John coming from Clarke's room which is weird. I went to go tell him about Emori and Lincoln. Once I was in the hallway I saw him heading back to Clarke's room.
"Hey, John." I called.
"What's up Jay?" he turned around smiling at me.
"I have something to tell you." I told him afraid to tell him, feeling a little guilty for being the bearer of bad news.
"What?" his smile broke.
"It's about Emori..." after I said that Octavia's sobs got a little louder.
"What about her?" his eyebrows furrowed.
"She...um." it was hard for me to say.
I heard footsteps behind me, knowing it was Raven's.
"She cheated on you." Raven said bluntly.
"What?" he asked.
"She cheated on you John." I told him putting my hand on his shoulder to help him understand the situation. "With Lincoln Pine."
He backed away from us. "Why would she do this to me, especially after…"
"Raven, can we have a moment?" I asked my girlfriend.
She nodded and went back to my room.
"John?"
"Why would she leave me when she knows why I couch surf?" he ran a hand through his hair. "My parents left me for drugs and alcohol, feeling that those were more important than their son and now she leaves me for that tool!" he exclaimed.
"She wasn't good enough for you John."
"Yeah? And who is."
"Bellamy and Clarke." I said bluntly.
"Jay." he rolled his eyes.
"What?" I smiled sweetly. "The three of you would be cute."
"Okay, 1. I'm not gay, and 2. Clarke isn't into me."
"1. you are bi, and 2. Yeah she is."
He shook his head, "night Jay." he went to Clarke's door.
"Night buddy." I said as he went inside.
I turned around and went to mine. Raven and Octavia were asleep in the middle of my bed. I smiled at the two.
'I wonder if this would be my life if all three of us were together.' I shook my head. 'I don't even know if Raven likes O too.'
I shook my thoughts and curled up behind Raven. I was about to wrap my arm around her stomach when I noticed it was already taken by Octavia's arm. I smiled and put my arm next to hers.
