Chapter 6
It's was late morning and all the Baker's were up and dressed and most of them were sitting in the living room watching TV.
"So Jake you meeting up with Elliot today to show him around?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah, well he said yesterday he would text me today to say if it was ok," Jake replied.
"Ok," Jessica said now curious to see if he would reply, since he never replied to her because if he did it either meant he was ignoring her, or he had a new number but never gave it to her, or the very small chance that her message was just never received.
"Sarah, Mike you two coming?" Jake asked.
"I'm not because I already arranged to meet up with some friends today, sorry dude," Mike said.
"Oh it's fine, don't worry about it dude," Jake said, "Sarah what about you?"
"Errm no I think I'll give it a miss today," Sarah replied. The last thing Sarah wanted to do right now was hang around with Elliot.
"I understand but if you change your mind or get bored or something then just give me a text," Jake said.
"Ok," Sarah agreed.
The text alert went off on Jake's phone.
Yeah today should be fine dude.
What time you want to meet up?
"Was that Elliot?" Mike asked.
"Yeah," Jake replied.
Jessica started to look annoyed. Clearly nothing wrong with his phone and he's just ignoring me, she thought to herself.
"When you meeting up then?" Sarah asked.
"He's coming round for me in about ten minutes," Jake replied.
Ten minutes had passed and Sarah had disappeared upstairs most likely to avoid Elliot. Mike stood up to go get the remote control for the TV and noticed Elliot walking over to the house and he walked over to get the remote.
"Jake Elliot's just coming now," Mike said.
"Oh I'm not quite ready yet, I still need to get changed," Jake replied.
"Well just invite him then," Mike said.
"Alright I will," Jake said as he went to go answer the front door.
"Hi," Elliot said.
"Hey em just come in I still need to get changed but I won't be long," Jake said.
"Ok no problem dude," Elliot replied as he walked in the house.
"Hiya Elliot nice to see you," Kate said as she walked past the hall area with a hand full of washing to take upstairs.
"Hi Mrs Baker," Elliot said.
"Oh call me Kate," Kate replied.
"Just go through to the living room, Mike and that's in there I just need to get changed I'll be five minutes," Jake said as he pointed to the living room.
"Ok that's fine," Elliot replied.
Elliot walked through into the living room where Mike, Jessica, Nigel and Kyle were sitting. Elliot looked a little bit worried when he noticed Jessica was there.
"Whatsup dude?" Mike said as Elliot took a seat at the end of the sofa where Kyle and Nigel where sitting.
"Aw nothing much," Elliot replied.
Jessica looked at Elliot and he just smiled and never said hello or nothing, and Jessica just smiled back.
There was an awkward silence in the living room as no one was talking just the odd whisper between Nigel and Kyle. Jessica really wanted to say something to Elliot and ask why he was ignoring her and not replied to her texts but didn't want to in front of Mike, Nigel and Kyle.
"Nigel, Kyle could you come here a minute," a voice shouted from upstairs and Nigel and Kyle left the room.
"So what you doing today then Jess?" Mike said trying to break up the awkward silence.
"Not sure nothing planned yet," Jessica replied, "You?"
"Am meeting up with some mates later," Mike said.
The silence returned in the living room and Mike started to notice the awkwardness between Jessica and Elliot. The last thing he knew they were best of friends but they looked far from it now.
Elliot sat really uncomfortable on the end of the sofa he sat with his head down and kept shaking his leg and tapping his foot. Jessica and Mike exchanged a look as they both looked over to Elliot and how strange he was acting.
Jake came into room, "I'm ready now dude,"
Elliot looked up and his face looked relived, and he jumped up quickly, "Ok lets go then," Elliot said as they both left.
"He couldn't get away quick enough, what's up with him?" Mike said.
"I dunno," Jessica replied.
"What happened between you two I thought you were really close?" Mike asked.
"Nothing happened and I don't know we've just not spoken since we were at the lake," Jessica said.
"Strange huh?" Mike said.
"Umhum," Jessica smiled.
"You sure like you haven't said nothing to upset him because like that's just strange for you too to be like best of friends like a week ago, when we are at the lake and yet when he gets here he doesn't even take you on," Mike said, "And you don't even seem that bothered about it".
Mike was wrong about that Jessica was really bothered by it, but just didn't want to make it obvious and well she must have been doing a good job at that before Mike said she didn't seem that bothered.
"I just don't see the point in worry about it right now, really can't be bothered with him if he's just going to be like that to be honest," Jessica said, which was partly true as she didn't really see the point in worrying about it.
"You want to watch a movie or something?" Mike asked Jessica.
"I thought you were going to go meet your mates?" Jessica said.
"Yeah I was but assed, and you don't look like you're doing much today and I just thought we could watch a movie," Mike said.
"Something wrong with you?" Jessica said.
"No. Why?" He replied.
"Mike Baker deciding to stay in on a nice summer's day and watch a movie with his big sister Jessica rather than go out with his mates," Jessica said.
"Haha," Mike said ironically, "So do you want to or not?"
"Yeah why not," Jessica said, "As long as it's a decent movie".
Mike looked in the drawer in the living room which was filled with DVD' s and after finally agreeing on a DVD he put it in the DVD player and Jessica made them some popcorn.
There sat and watched the movie until it had finished.
"That was actually quite good," Jessica said.
"I told you it was," Mike said.
"You want to watch another one?" Jessica suggested.
"Yeah ok," Mike replied.
"I'll go get some more popcorn and juice," Jessica said.
"Cool," Mike said as Jessica went into the kitchen.
"Aw Mike there is none left," Jessica shouted.
"You can't watch a movie without popcorn," Mike joked.
"I know," Jessica smiled, "I'll go walk to the shops and get some more then."
"Ok," Mike said.
Jessica put her shoes on and went out to get some more popcorn. As she walked out the front garden to turn the corner to walk down the street she walked into Jake and Elliot.
"Jessica where you going," Jake asked.
"Em to the shop to get some more popcorn," she replied.
"Oh well go wait a second because I just need to go get some money from inside and then we were going to be going to the shop anyway," Jake said.
"No I think I'll just start walking down now, don't want to go where I don't feel welcome," Jessica said looking at Elliot before she walked away.
"What does she mean by that?" Jake said.
Elliot shrugged his shoulders.
"She aimed it at you anyway?" Jake said, "What have you done to make her feel unwelcome?"
"No idea," Elliot said, "It's probably because I've not spoken to her since we got here."
"Why haven't you?" Jake asked.
"Haven't got round to it yet," Elliot said.
"It doesn't take a lot to say hello how are you," Jake said.
"I know, I probably should speak to her I'll do it soon," Elliot said.
Jake wasn't sure what was going on but found it really weird that Elliot hadn't even spoke to Jessica.
"Right we going?" Jake said as he walked down the stairs with his money.
"Ok," Elliot sighed, "Could it not wait until later?"
"No I want something to eat now I'm starving," Jake said.
"Ok, just can't be bothered walking there but oh well," Elliot said. It wasn't that he couldn't be bothered it was more he didn't want to have to bump into Jessica again.
Luckily for him by the time they walked to the shops Jessica was leaving.
"Did you get your popcorn?" Jake asked her.
"Yeah," Jessica replied and nothing else was said and Jessica continued to walk home.
Jessica got home and her and Mike put on another movie.
"You ok? You seem to have gone into a sad mood since you got back with the popcorn?" Mike asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, just tired," Jessica replied.
Jake and Elliot came in, "I'm just away to get my board, just go sit through with Mike and Jessica," Jake said.
"Ok," Elliot said as he walked through into the living room.
"Oh wait," Jake said as he came into the living room," Where is Sarah?"
"She went away round to a friend's house," Mike replied.
Jake ran up the stairs and Elliot sat in the living room and just watched the film they were watching.
"Mike! You been using my board?" Jake shouted.
"No," Mike shouted back.
"Yeah you have, come here," Jake shouted back.
"Ok just a sec," Mike said as he paused the DVD, "Back in a minute," he said to Jessica and Elliot.
It was silent for about ten seconds until Jessica started to talk, "Is there a reason you've just ignored me since you got here? Like have I done something to upset you or what?" Jessica asked, "Because you haven't said a word to me since you got here not even Hello Jess, you've just completely ignored me and seem to be pretending I'm not even here."
"Look it's not like you've made the effort to say hello to me either. You know it is a two sided thing," Elliot replied.
"Yeah but it's like you turn away when I look at you; you leave the room when I come in' and you try you absolute best to avoid me," Jessica said, "And we don't see me doing that to you so you can hardly say this is a two sided thing because I've not got the chance to say hello to you because you've just avoided me completely but why?"
"I haven't purposely been avoiding," Elliot replied.
"Oh so you were just accidentally avoiding me?" Jessica said.
"No it's probably all just in your head?" Elliot said. Jessica couldn't understand why Elliot was acting like such a jerk, this wasn't the Elliot she knew at the lake.
"It's not in my head because if other people are noticing it then I think it is actually happening and it's not just in my head," Jessica said, "Because Mike has noticed and I'm more than sure Jake has too."
Jake and Mike footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs and Jessica and Elliot stopped talking.
"We going now then?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah,"Jake said as Elliot stood up.
Jake and Elliot disappeared with their boards and Mike sat down next to Jessica to continue watcing their film.
"So i heard voices did Elliot speak to you?" Mike asked.
"Well no i spoke to him then he eventually spoke to me. He was in such a mood. Don't see how Jake can put up with him all day," Jessica replied.
