As soon as the song ended the crowd was cheering jack smirked and walked off stage, Morgan and Katie walked back stage to greet them.
"That was amazing!" Katie told Jack, Jack smiled as he put his guitar back into it's case.
"Of course it was!" Jack stated. Katie shook her head and laughed as Morgan started to make out with Chris.
"So is that about an ex of yours?" Katie asked sitting down in the chair. Across from Jack.
"Nope." He stated leaning towards her.
"Really? Who then?" Katie asked leaning towards him.
'You." Jack stated before giving her a soft kiss. Katie soon broke apart and looked at him shocked, Jack just sat there looking at her to see her expression. She then kissed him back and a few minutes later she pulled back again.
"I didn't do that! I didn't do that! It never happened!" Katie stated walking off the stage. Jack stood up and smirked.
"It did happen! You kissed me back!"
A few weeks later…
Katie fell into Jack's charm. They were kind of together you could say, sometimes they would act like boyfriend and girlfriend other days they would hate eachother. Right now it was Friday and Katie's dad was on a business trip.
Katie was sitting in the living room and she heard a racket from upstairs she quietly crept up the steps and saw Jack stumbling in the hallway he was obviously drunk.
"Jack?" Katie asked walking over to him. Jack looked up as she helped him down the stairs.
"How you doin?" Katie smiled and started to laugh as jack leaned in for a kiss.
"Ew! Jack! No!" She said as she opened the front door.
"What? Why did you resist the hot Jack Mercer?"
"Your drunk and your breath smells bad." Jack scoffed as he stood in her front doorway.
"Since I'm drunk I think that I should stay here." Jack stated.
"No!"
"Fine!" He said while turning around. He stopped and looked at her.
"I think that you should be the designated driver and drive me home."
"I'm not going to drive you home! You live right across the street!" Katie said closing the door behind her. She grabbed his arm and helped him across the street and up to his door.
"is your ma home?"
"No, she's out." Jack stated.
"Good." Katie knocked on the door to see Bobby standing there.
"Jackie?" Jack just fell forward onto Bobby. Katie walked inside and closed the door behind her.
"He came to my house drunk." Bobby sighed as he sat him down on the couch.
He walked into the kitchen with Katie following.
"Damn Aussie, I know you have a crush on Fairy but you know he doesn't sway that way, Getting him drunk isn't going to help him get with you." Katie scoffed and punched Bobby.
"What? I would never do that! He's Jack! I don't like him that way!" Bobby laughed and replied. "Right, sure. Take him to his room, and don't try anything." Katie sighed and helped Jack up the steps.
While they were in his room Katie stood there and said. "You might want to change out of your clothes, they smell bad. I'll be out in the hall." Jack sighed as she walked out.
Katie heard rumbling coming from Angel's room and saw him come out in his boxers and he said in his room.
"Be right back baby." He had the biggest grin ever on his face.
"Hi." Katie said. Angel stopped and looked at Katie.
"Hey." His grin soon dropped and he looked embarrassed.
"I'm uh just exercising."
"Right." Katie said as he walked down the steps.
She laughed and shook her head and she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, she was really tired. Her eyes opened hearing Jack's voice.
"OoOo! Jack's getting nakey!" Katie bursted out laughing. Jack opened his door and he leaned against the frame and he said.
"Hey." Katie looked at him, he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Getting lonely out here?" Jack asked. Katie just stood there starring at him and he looked Katie, Katie soon realized he was naked! She pushed him inside and slammed the door shut.
"Jack! Get some clothes on!" Jerry just walked out of his room and looked at Katie and jack's room.
"I don't even want to know." He stated as he walked away. Katie sighed and leaned against the wall again.
OoOoOoOoOoOo Month later
Katie was sitting in her room dancing. And she stopped and turned her music down; her dad was out at a conference. She heard singing; she opened her window to see Jack standing on the ground singing.
"What I like about you, You hold me tight, Tell me I'm the only one. Wanna come over tonight? Keep on whispering in my ear." Katie eyes bolted open.
'What the freak are you doing?" She asked him.
"Jackie!" Screamed Bobby. Jack turned around to see Bobby running over with Angel.
"What?" Jack asked. Bobby looked up to see Katie looking out her window.
"Adam Goldstein's dad was bought out from Your dad." He said directing to Katie.
"So?" Jack asked.
"So get your ass in the car." Jack sighed as Angel pushed him and explained to him what was happening." Bobby looked up at Katie.
"What's going on?"
"Adam wants to get revenge on your dad since his dad is out of work now."
"What?"
"He's going to shoot up your dad!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Shit."
"Get your ass down here. You know where your dad's at?" Katie closed the window and grabbed her gym shoes and jogged down the steps and walked over to Bobby's car.
"24th street, Liberty Building." Bobby nodded his head as he got inside and sat in the front seat Angel was in the passenger, Jack, Katie and Jerry were in the back.
'Bobby what does Adam look like?" Katie asked turning around and looking out in the black night.
"Uh, brownish blondish hair, always wears an Angel's Ball Cap."
"You might want to turn around."
"What?" Just as Bobby asked that a bullet shot through his front window in-between him and Angel.
"Those motherfuckers!" Bobby stated.
"Get down!" Angel said to Jack, Katie and Jerry.
They all bent down and Bobby made a sharp turn into an alleyway.
"I thought we were the ones chasing them!" Katie exclaimed.
"We are! I'm just taking a shortcut!"
Bobby's car soon got behind Adam's. He pressed hard on the gas pedal and they sped up and he rammed into the back of Adam's ford.
"Get the gun!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Gun?" Katie asked.
Jack handed Angel the gun he popped the back two tires. They got out of the car and started running.
"Shit, let's get 'em." Bobby stated as everyone got out. Katie and Jack went one way, while the other three went a different way.
Katie saw one of them running and she started after them with Jack on her trail. She could hear him panting.
"Hurry up!" Katie exclaimed to Jack. A few minutes later she stopped hearing Jack's panting.
"Ja-Jack?" She asked turning around. She soon felt a strong force around her neck and she heard a raspy voice that said.
"No Jack to save you." He dragged Katie against a wall. He faced her, she couldn't make out who it was. She stood there as he smirked an evil smirk and stated.
"You're a nice looker." He leaned towards her and bit her neck. She gritted her teeth in pain.
"And you're a sleeze bag." She said as she kneed him in his "special place".
He fell to the ground and she turned and started to run until she felt him grab her ankle and she tripped.
She kicked him in the face and he screamed and she stood up and ran. She turned a corner and saw another gun standing there.
He was creeping by a window and had a gun.
'Shit that was the Liberty Building.' She saw the guy that was chasing her before come up behind her and grabbed her.
"Got you now pretty, now you just have to wait to see your daddy die." Katie wimpered and didn't see any of the Mercer's anywhere they probably went for Adam because he wasn't there where she was. She dropped her hands and felt a gun on the guy that had her. She stole it and fired a shot just before the other man was about to fire at her dad. The guy that was holding her twisted her around and grabbed the gun back.
"That wasn't a smooth thing to do pretty girl. Now you're going to pay." Katie stood there he had a tight grip around her, she soon felt another presence around. She sniffed and knew who it was, bobby. He had a weird scent. She saw him with a gun and he banged the guy who was holding her in the head and he quickly turned around and bobby shot him right then and there. Jack, Angel and Jerry came running from different alleys.
'Who's out there!" Bobby nodded for everyone else to run and he grabbed both guns and left the guys there.
OoOoOoOoOoO Police station
"Katie Taylor, Tell me everything." Katie sighed knowing he meant on the night, which the two guys died.
"Everything?"
"Everything." He stated grabbing a pen and notebook paper.
"Well…. in 5th grade, I got stung by the bee on my tongue, I had to go to the hospital for a week. My tongue was really fat."
"No! About that night!" The officer stated. Katie nodded her head.
"Okay you see that makes things a lot clearer." The officer pulled her ponytail.
"Now!"
"Manners matter!" Katie told the officer. The officer just looked at her in a stern look.
"Fine, well I was sleeping and I had a huge bandage on my tongue. It hurt like hell." Katie spent way too much time with the Mercer boys, before she never could mess with a cop now she was.
"The night in which it happened!" the police exclaimed.
"Well fine I was sitting on my bed and my friend Maria came into my room and I stood up because we were going to get some ice-cream. I walked out of my room first and she noticed this red stuff on my butt and she looked back to the bed and said. "Katie I think you might of start-"
"NO! NO! NOT THAT!" he said as he pulled on Katie's hair harder.
'The night, in which Adam died."
"Okay, okay! Geez, that was all that you had to say."
"Well I was sitting at the local diner and I saw your wife there, she's pretty nice, but anyways I ordered the usual blueberry pie. But when I finished I turned to see Bobby Mercer, getting very friendly with your wife." The officer pulled her hair again and slapped her on the cheek, which left a red mark.
He gave up and she walked out to see the boys standing there with black eyes.
"Ha! Ha! You got it bad Bobby!"
"What can I say? The cops love the Mercers." Jack, Angel, Jerry and Katie all laughed.
"What'd you tell em?" Angel asked.
"Well, the time I got stung by a bee on my tongue, and that night when I got stung, oh and when I had my first period." Katie laughed seeing her faces when she said that.
"Oh, and Bobby was getting very friendly with his wife." Bobby laughed and said.
"That's my girl."
"The girl's turning into a Mercer." Jerry stated Jack just laughed and smiled.
"Oh, that makes me feel special."
"You are special." Jack stated. Katie stopped and glared at him. He laughed and walked away but she ran and jumped on his back.
"That's it your going down rocker boy!"
OoOoOoOoO Last day of school
After the time at the police station Jack and Katie were always with eachother you could say they were officially together now.
Right now they were leaving a party. They went over to Jack's house and up to his room.
"So how does it feel?" Jack asked.
"What?" Katie asked letting her hair down.
"Graduating with a bunch of 18-year-olds and you're the only 16-year-old."
"Weird." She stated as she sat down next to him on his bed. He smiled and gave her a hard kiss.
"But I'll be there." He stated in-between kisses.
"I know." Katie stated.
"So, how will it be weird?" He asked
"Well, I'm the valedictorian too!" Jack smiled and took off his shirt. Katie smiled and watched him.
"I'll be right back." Jack had a puzzled look on his face as he watched his girlfriend run to the bathroom. A few minutes later she came back out only wearing a towel. Jack stood there shocked.
"A-Are you sure?" Jack asked. Katie stood there smiling shyly and nodded her head.
OoOoOoOoOoO Mourning-
Jack woke up and smiled looking at Katie, he had his arms wrapped around her waist and he closed his eyes again. Katie yawned and looked over at Jack and smiled.
"I love you." She whispered. Jack smiled and replied. "I love you too." He soon closed his eyes again. Katie sighed turned to her side she soon fell asleep again.
A few minutes later she woke up and tried to get up.
"Come on Jack let go." She said so she could get up and change.
He didn't say anything.
"Jack! Come on! I need to get dressed!" Jack just laid there.
"Jack get up or your mom will see us." Jack moaned and replied.
"No."
"You want this to be the last night I'm here?" Jack instantly let go of her and Katie grabbed the sheets and stood up and grabbed her clothes. Jack grabbed his boxers and put them on. A few minutes later after Katie changed she walked downstairs to see Evelyn cooking breakfast.
"Need any help?" Katie asked.
"Sure." Eveyln smiled. Katie smiled as she cracked the eggs. Jack walked down and lightly kissed Katie on the cheek and grabbed a glass of Orange Juice and walked into the living room.
"Your awfully happy." Evelyn stated. Katie smiled to herself, Eveyln knew what happened and she didn't mind.
"I'm so happy to see you graduate tomorrow." Eveyln stated.
"Yeah, but it will be a little weird too." Eveyln smiled and said.
"You'll do fine."
OoOoOoOoOo- Month later..
Katie was at Morgan's house and she was tapping her fingers on the wooden table as Morgan was curling her hair. They were going on a double date, Katie with Jack, Morgan with Chris.
"What's up with you? Nervous? It's Jack!"
"No, it's not that." Morgan set the curling iron down and walked over and sat down next to Katie.
"What's wrong?"
"I-I haven't had my period yet, it was supposed to be next week." Katie stated.
"Well did you have-"
"Yeah."
"With Jack?" Katie nodded her head.
"Did he?"
"No." Katie stated.
"Didn't you take the-"
"I must have missed a day."
"Do you think your pregnant?"
"I don't know." Katie stated.
"I'll run and get a-"
"I already did." Katie said holding up the pregnancy test.
"Did you take it?"
Katie shook her head.
"Okay, I'll go and cancel the date telling them we're having a girls night instead, take the test." Katie nodded her head and walked into the bathroom and a few minutes later came back out.
She sat down on the couch and watched tv.
"Has it been a minute?" Morgan nodded her head.
"Can you check it? I can't." Morgan nodded her head and walked into the bathroom and read the stick.
"Katie."
"What? What does it say?"
"Positive." Katie's eyes bolted open.
OoOoOoOoOo
A few days later..
Katie finished writing a letter and grabbed her luggage and set it in her dad's car. He was inside on the phone Morgan walked up to her house.
"Look when Jack gets back home, give him this please." Katie said handing Morgan a letter.
"Katie, are you sure going all the way to Australia is a good thing to do?"
"Yeah, Morgan."
"You haven't even told Jack about the pregnancy and that it's his."
"Morgan he don't need a responsibility like a baby, he's going to be a rock star. He won't have time, plus Jack could never be able to take care of a baby, he has to much on his hands already."
'Katie, don't leave! Please."
"Look, you have my number right?" Morgan nodded her head.
"Call me any time, you could come visit me sometime."
Morgan nodded her head again and brushed away a few tears.
"Take care of yourself and The Mercers for me, alright?" Morgan nodded her head and hugged her best friend.
"Ready?" Katie's dad asked walking towards the driver's side. Katie nodded her head and got inside and waved bye to Morgan.
Good-bye Detroit, Hello Australia.
Present
A 20-year-old Katie sighed remembering those memories as she did the dishes.
"Mommy! Mommy!" A dark brunette haired little boy exclaimed running into the kitchen. Katie smiled seeing her son; he had those beautiful eyes just like his father's and the same nose.
"What is it Sawyer?" She asked her four-year-old son.
'When does Veggie tales come on?"
"In an hour, your snack is on the table." Sawyer smiled as he ran to the table and sat down. Katie smiled and walked to her room to fold some laundry she opened her drawer and dug through it and found a picture of Her and Jack at graduation with Bobby, Angel, Jerry and Evelyn in the background.
She sighed and set it down on her dresser and continued with the laundry.
