Part 4
Will was bleeding from the mouth!
"Hamilton what are you talking about? Why did I do what?" Will said.
Hamilton was starting to cry but tried to hold back the tears to keep up the
macho look.
"What do you mean what? Will you slept with Jake am I supposed to be happy
with this and now she is where with Scout?" Hamilton was yelling. Will
thought about it he was wiping the blood from his mouth.
"Hamilton you didn't understand me or something I guess... I'm staying here
tonight because Scout was being loud in my room and I have a 24-hour virus
or something and Jake offered to let me stay here so I could get some rest.
The last time I saw her I was half asleep but I think she was headed to
Scout's room cause she's sleeping in my bed." Hamilton looked sorry that he
hurt Will.
"Will man god sorry about your mouth I didn't--wait you let Jake sleep alone
in a room with Scout? Are you stupid? Scout's a total horn ball plus Jake
has never slept in the same room as a guy" Hamilton started out the door.
"Hamilton i don't think Scout is your problem I think your problem is that
you love Jake to much to lose her and you don't want anyone else to have
her. She told me about earlier. Hamilton you're a great guy she loves you
but if you don't trust her, she will leave you!" Will said. He was now under
control of his bleeding mouth. Hamilton didn't know what to say. He just
turned around and walked out.
He could never imagine a life without Jake. What was life without Jake?
Hamilton trusted her; he just
didn't want her to get hurt. He was waiting in front of Scout's room. He
didn't want to wake them so he picked the door lock. One of the many things
he learned from Jake. When he got into the room he was very quiet. He first
passed Scout lying asleep on top of his cover. Scout was in blue tight
whites. Hamilton was about to laugh his ass off, when he spotted Jake. She
was so innocent in her sleep. She lay there and looked so happy. He almost
felt bad to wake her but he couldn't resist. He wanted to talk to her.
Hamilton sat next to her on the bed. She opened her eyes.
"Hamilton I-" Jake started.
"No Jake I'm sorry I acted like an idiot!" She lay there looking up at him.
"You never came back," Jake whispered. She was trying not to wake Scout.
Hamilton wanted to kiss her but he didn't know if he was allowed.
"I meant to, but I fell asleep. I was trying to think of what I was going to
say to you but I fell asleep. God Jake I'm really sorry." Jake starred at
him. It was silent for a minute.
"Who can stay mad at that cute face?" She grabbed the back of his neck and
kissed him. He pushed her away for a moment.
"Wait I'm not FOXY?" Hamilton smiled. Jake pulled closer and in a whisper
she said.
"You can be anything you want to be." They began to kiss again.

That next morning Bella woke up. Her cheek was stuck to the desk. She stood
up and wiped her mouth off. She looked at the clock it was 7:00. She still
had time to do some extra stuff for the talent show. She decided to call
Scout to make sure he was coming over to help her. She wondered if it was to
early, but then realised that he had to be at crew practice by 7:30 so he
should be awake. She looked around her desk full of papers and found the
phone under the tickets for the show. She dialled Scout's number.
~*~
Scout was fast asleep when the phone rang. With his eyes closed he searched
for the phone with his hands, knocking everything in his way over.
"Hello?" He said in a tired cranky voice.
"Hey Scout its Bella did I wake you?" Scout looked at the clock.
"Holy mother it's 7:05 and I'm not even showered yet. Bella I have practise
I gotta go." Scout slammed down the phone and got out of bed. He looked
beside him to find Jake and Hamilton rapped up together lying in Will's bed.
He pulled the sheets off of them
"Let's go lover boys. We're late." They both woke up. They looked around for
a moment.
"What?" Hamilton said jumping out of bed. "We can't be late I've been late
so much he said one more
time and I'm off crew!" Jake was throwing on her clothes as quick as
possible over her boxers.
"How did you fall asleep here?" Jake said. Hamilton was searching for an
extra crew uniform of Scout's. He found something and with out asking,
borrowed it.
"I meant to go home it's just I fell asleep, everything felt so right," he
stopped for a moment and smiled at Jake. They were about to kiss when Scout
couldn't take it anymore.
"Lets go. Come on you kissed all night you can wait till after practice?"
Scout yelled. They were just out the door when Scout said, "Oh god I left my
term paper inside?" He opened up the door. "Wait for me!"
Hamilton thought for a moment. "Oh no..my midterm is at home. I have to turn
it in but i can't be late." Jake didn't know what to do.
"Hamilton I-" Hamilton started to run.
"I'm just gunna run home and hope I can make it on time." Jake ran with him
talking.
"Hamilton stop why don't I just take your keys since your parents aren't
home and get your term paper and I'll be a little late for practice."
Hamilton stopped.
"Jake this is why I love you that's perfect." He handed her the keys. Jake
took the keys and began to run. Jake was panicked because she had no time
but now Hamilton was okay.
*That's what love is* Hamilton thought. *When a girl as wonderful as Jake
will take a mess off your hands and take the work herself* Hamilton smiled.
He was standing now in the middle of the courtyard. That's where they ran
too. Scout came running up.
"What part of wait for me didn't you understand?" Scout yelled. Hamilton
laughed.
"Sorry man!" They began to walk to crew.
"So," Scout said, "whatever happened with the whole thing about Finn seeing
Jake with you know?" He made hand motions around his chest.
"Boobs? Scout," Hamilton said.
"Yeah, what happened with that?"
"Well um Finn came to me and asked if that ever happened and I gave him a
weird look. Then he said 'Oh I knew that bar tender put vodka in that.' So
I guess he just thought he was drunk and was imagining everything."
They were just in front of the dock. Practice wasn't starting for another 5
minutes so they sat and talked about you know, whatever boys talk about.
~*~
Will was in the cafeteria grabbing an orange juice quickly before practice.
When he saw Bella walking in. She didn't notice him so he payed for the
drink and walked up.
"Hey Bella you're up early. I thought Edmund High didn't start till 9..yeah
why are you here?" He laughed.
"What? Thanks Will I feel loved. Um I have to put flyers up for my talent
show!" She handed him one to look at.
"Since when are you having a talent show?" Will asked.
"Oh yeah.. you were sick and went home. I decided to have a talent show
it's going to be great. Come by my place after school. Scout's coming you
can help to. Are you feeling better?" Bella asked hanging up a flyer on the
cafeteria bulletin board. Will looked at his watch.
"Oh yeah I'm feeling fine I think it was a 24 hour thing. Well I gotta be
going to practice so uh.. I'll see ya after school," Bella smiled
"Yeah catch ya later!" As Will walked out he was laughing.
*My mouth is all scraped up and bruised and she didn't even notice. Great
friends I have*
~*~
Jake was on Hamilton's front steps. She took out the key and opened the
door. She was walking up to the room when she heard a voice from the
kitchen.
"Munchie is that you?"
*Oh my lord* Jake thought *Hamilton told me they weren't home.* Jake didn't
want to seen like she was a robber or anything so she walked in.
"Hi Mrs Fleming!" Kate turned around form where she was standing at the
sink.
"Oh Jake i didn't know it was you is Hamilton with you?" Kate said.
"No.... Um Hamilton gave me his key to pick something up for him..he was
busy..but um i have to hurry because-" Kate looked at her watch.
"Oh right crew. I'm sorry get what you need and then I'll give you a ride to
school since I'm going there anyway." Jake knew it would be easier to just
walk there but she wanted to bond with Hamilton's mom.
"Okay!" Jake said.
She ran up stairs and looked around Hamilton's desk. She opened the drawer,
and found the term paper lying there. Jake picked it up and shoved it in her
jacket, trying not to crumple it too much. Before she closed the drawer she
noticed a picture lying face first. Jake picked it up and turned it around.
It was a picture of Jake cut out of their crew picture.
*He is so cute* Jake thought. She noticed it was getting late and ran
downstairs, the front door was open. Jake ran outside and hopped into the
car with Kate.
"So Jake you and Hamilton are really close, right?" Kate asked pulling out
of her driveway. Jake nodded.
"So do you happen to know who Hamilton's new girlfriend is?" Kate asked.
Jake looked at Kate she knew that Kate only wanted to be a part of
Hamilton's life.
"Well I'm-I-I..I've only met her once she seems nice," Jake said. Kate
looked at her weird. Kate stopped the car in the dock parking lot
"Well he's certainly head over heels for her from the way it looks. Jake it
was nice talking to you we
should talk more often." Jake looked over and smiled for a moment. She
hopped out of the car and leaned over to the window of the passenger seat,
which was rolled down.
"Thanks Mrs Fleming I enjoyed talking to you too." Jake knew she really
hadn't done much talking with Kate but she didn't want to put a damper on
Kate's 'bonding with Hamilton's friends' parade. Jake actually liked her.
Everyone was already in the boat they were just about to row out when Jake
ran up
"Wait up guys!!" Jake gave Finn, Hamilton and her term paper
"Hamilton Fleming. Jake did you change your name lately?" Jake gave him a
weird look.
"Okay Mr Pratt get into the boat," Finn said slapping Jake on the butt. Jake
was startled. Hamilton started to stand up!
"Ham he's a coach he doesn't know she's a she they do that stuff." Will
whispered to Hamilton. Hamilton looked at her climbing into the boat and she
seemed to be fine. They started to row out.
"Will what happened?" Jake yelled to him when she spotted his mouth.
Hamilton looked down.
"I'll tell you later," Will yelled. Finn came by in his boat and shouted
"Let's go ladies pay attention." Jake and Hamilton looked over quick. Will
and Scout were laughing hysterically at them.
"Sad," Scout said. "Just sad!" Finn splashed Scout with water
"I'm serious practice!"
