Chapter 10: Party Time

"See?" Luis smiled, "Aren't you glad you came?"

"Yeah," Olivia smiled and kissed him, "Yeah, I am." She snuggled close to him. She felt so safe with Luis. Nothing mattered.

"So, are you ready to tell me what's actually going on?" He said. She sighed and looked at him. "Why did you really want to cancel tonight?"

"There's just this guy at school," She sighed. "He asked me out, and I said no, because of you, and he's just being a total asshole."

"If I lost you I might be the same way," He smiled. They kissed.

"Hey," Lena walked over to Jimmy.

"Hey," He smiled. "How's it going kid?"

"Brad blew off the game," She shrugged. "I don't even know where to start making it up to him."

"I've been meaning to apologize to you," He said.

"For what?" She laughed, "You've been great."

"For last year," He sighed. She cocked her head, "Look, Julie's been in a lot of pain over the past week, even if she won't admit it, because Steve stopped talking to her, if you felt anything like that last year."

"Wow," She nodded and took a sip of the beer she was drinking out of a red solo cup. "Thanks." He laughed, and his phone rang. "You gonna get that?"

"It's just Rick," He shrugged, "It can wait. I've been ignoring him all night."

"If he'd called more than once, it's probably important," Ellie said, "It's probably about Cassie."

"Right," He groaned, "I'm a horrible person." He picked up the phone, "Hey man."

"I'm gonna be a Daddy," Rick said, "What do you think of that?"

"She's pregnant?" Jimmy said.

"Yeah, she is," Rick smiled. "Where are you?"

"Um, post Blake football party," Jimmy said, "At the house."

"Wow," Rick said, "That's not what I expected." Jimmy laughed.

"Congratulations," Jimmy said, "How's Cass?"

"She's worried," Rick sighed, "I don't know. When's Dad gonna be around again?"

"He gets home on Monday," Jimmy said. "You're gonna talk to him?"

"I'm gonna try," Rick said.

"Congratulations Rick," Ellie called. Jimmy laughed. "Tell him to give Cassie my best, Uncle Jimmy." She patted him on the shoulder and walked away. She stopped seeing a bunch of blue and gold jackets gathered around one of the kegs and the unmistakable shape of a soccer ball on the back. "Only he would have the balls," She mumbled to herself and finished her drink, knowing exactly where, in this house to get something harder. She would need it to get through this night.

"Hey man," One of the other Blake soccer guys nodded to Nick, "Isn't that Liv Martinez?" Nick looked over and saw Olivia and Luis on the couch. He shook his head and walked over.

"Hey there," He smirked. Olivia looked up. "Didn't expect to find you here?"

"This the guy?" Luis laughed. He could one hundred percent handle a guy like this, just another snarky preppy. Olivia nodded. "Look man, we're all just here to have a good time."

"Oh, you will," Nick laughed, "Liv knows how to show a guy a good time. Don't you baby? She obviously told you about me. A slut doesn't usually own to it."

"What did you just say?" Luis stood up. Nick laughed. "Apologize," He said commandingly.

"Luis don't," Olivia sighed, "Let's just go, OK?"

"What would I be apologizing for?" Nick smiled, "Nailing your girl before you did?" Luis lost his temper and threw the first punch.

"Hey!" Someone ran over to outside where Jimmy was sitting with Julie, "Luis Mendoza's beating on some Blake kid!"

"Shit!" Jimmy mumbled, "He's your friend."

"It's your house," Julie laughed, as they both ran in. Jimmy got in between Luis and Nick. Ellie came rushing to the scene too.

"Break it up, come on," Jimmy said, "Luis, man, cool it?"

"Sure," Luis nodded, shot Olivia a death glare and walked away.

"Jimmy Riley," Nick nodded, "Was hoping to avoid you."

"Parsons," Jimmy said sternly. Ellie swallowed, wanting to turn and run away.

"Ellie Cole," Nick nodded, noticing her, "You grew up nice." Ellie swallowed and looked down.

"Don't even look at her," Jimmy said, "And get the hell out of my house!"

"Ever the white knight Riley," Nick smirked. "See you in the playoffs. Bye Ellie." He winked at her and walked away. "Your new girl's pretty cute too, Riley. Who's leftovers is she?" Julie felt her face flush in a way it hadn't in years. And she definitely didn't like seeing Jimmy fighting her battles for her. She didn't let boys fight her battles for her. She fought her own.

"Jimmy," Julie looked at him.

"Jules," He shook his head. She nodded and walked away. "I'm not going to tell you to get out again."

"I'm on my way out," Nick said, "See you around Elle," He winked and flicked his finger against one of her curls, she smacked his hand away.

"I'm fine Jimmy," Ellie whispered, she glanced across the room and saw Dean. He still had his jacket on, and she was hoping he'd missed the whole scene, although the look on his face said he hadn't. "Go find Julie, explain to her." Jimmy nodded as she walked away. He sighed and walked upstairs where Julie was sitting on his bed with her arms crossed.

"Julie," He sighed and sat down.

"I don't need you to stand up to anyone for me," She said. He smiled, "What?"

"That wasn't about you," He said. "It was about Ellie. Nick's her ex, he treated her like crap told our whole middle school that she had sex with him." Julie looked at him. "And I think he might be doing the same thing to Luis's new girlfriend, which is what I bet set him off." Julie nodded and kissed him. "What was that for?"

"For being so amazing," She said softly. "So," She leaned back against him. "What do you think about being an uncle?"

"I think that I feel really bad for this kid," He laughed. "Rick seems happy though."

"And Cassie," Julie said, "she must have done her fair share of caretaking, with your guys little family and all."

"Not really," Jimmy said, "Kelly was the mom. Cassie was like the crazy cool aunt. She's grown up a lot since then though." Julie nodded and kissed him softly. He wove his arms around her and then she slipped underneath him. "I thought you,"

"Shh," She whispered, "Just kiss me." They kissed for a while. "I love you," She said touching his face. "And I know that what you found out tonight is going to change your world. I just hope there's still going to be space for me."

"It's built around you," He smiled and kissed her.

"OK baby," Scooter sat down on his and Kelly's bed, "Are you sure you don't want to go out?"

"No I'm fine," She shrugged. He kissed her. "Mm." She smiled.

"Maybe I'll stay in with you," He whispered. "Kind of a weird night for you huh?" She shrugged, "We should spend the night together." They kissed and he straddled her gently, she kissed him softly, their lips barely touching. "You know what kissing you like this makes me think of?"

"What?" She whispered.

"Last Christmas on the boat," He said, "That night in Antigua. You drank Kahlua and stripped down to nothing and dove into the water." She groaned, "It's one of the only times I've ever seen you completely with your guard down, completely happy."

"I don't remember that night," She shook her head. "But all of those unguarded happy moments have something in common."

"What?" He smiled.

"You," She whispered. "I love you."

"I need you," He said, "I need you now." He pulled her close and kissed her. She woke up every cell in her body tingling. He hadn't done this in a while. They'd had sex, but she'd missed this, the passion that he had for her. Somewhere in two years he'd stopped being the boy who she was a little afraid to touch because of how he made her feel. She had that fear now and it was exhilarating.

"I'm yours," She whispered.
