Well, I'm back from my holiday now! Thanks to everyone who reads this for sticking by it, despite it taking forever for updates. The new OC in this story, Elliot, for anyone who was wondering, and especially Shadow the Wolf Mistress, looks like Cameron Bright in a 6teen cartoon version way.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except the plot line and the character, Elliot, although his name belongs to xLostHeartx.
Now, on with the story!
Nikki's POV
"Oh crap!" I thought when I saw Jonesy glaring at Elliot and I. I'd never seen him that mad. At that moment I was actually terrified of him. It was too late when I realised I'd never mentioned Jonesy to Elliot. He kissed me right on my lips before pulling back and saying, "See you later, babe." I smiled at him and he walked out the door, followed cautiously by Jude, who obviously didn't want to be in the middle of the argument which was about to happen. Jen left too, but knowing her, she was probably just standing outside the door where she could hear everything. I sighed at that.
Jonesy's POV
I wasn't sure why I felt so mad at Nikki. Sure, I'd broken up with her and I'd been about to ask Jude out so why did it feel so wrong seeing Nikki with another guy? I tried to calm down and speak nicely to Nikki though. "Um, Jude told me that you and his neighbour hit it off but that rebound was fast!", I exclaimed. She looked at me, disbelievingly, before saying, "Rebound? Jonesy, Elliot is not a rebound! Sure, you and I just broke up and all, but I really like this guy so don't think you can talk to me like that just because you're jealous". I stood there, speechless as she stormed off, as far as she could from me because she still had to work. I realised then that hearts don't recover very quickly from heartbreak. This meant Nikki had expected we'd break up and had prepared for it. How long had she been assuming I was gay? I walked out of the Khaki Barn and almost collided with Jen.
Jen's POV
I pulled Jonesy into a hug. I wasn't sure what he was thinking but he'd been going out with Nikki so long, seeing her kissing another guy must've been painful, even though he's gay. Unless he likes the guy she was kissing. I stopped hugging my step-brother and mentally scolded myself. Jonesy just likes Jude, so we had to find him and make everything perfect. "So, do you want to go find Jude?", I asked him. He smiled softly and nodded.
Wyatt's POV
Jude and another guy just came into Burger McFlipsters. I was appalled, since, you know, just yesterday he'd been practically crying since he had a crush on Jonesy. I took their orders and the guy Jude had been with sat down at a table while Jude stayed to talk to me. "Who's your boyfriend, Jude?" I asked, solemnly. He gave me a weird look before answering with, "He's not my boyfriend, he's Nikki's. He is my neighbour though. His name's Elliot." This shocked me even more. "Wait. Nikki and Jonesy broke up?", I asked. "Yeah, dude. This morning.", he replied. "But why?", I wondered. I handed Jude his and Elliot's' food and said, "Enjoy your burgers and have a McFlipster day", absentmindedly. What a strange day this had been.
Jonesy's POV
I was nervous. Really really nervous. I wanted to just find Jude and get asking him out over with but I couldn't find him anywhere. I hoped he hadn't gone home yet. Jen was being no help whatsoever. She took one look at my face like this and cracked up before dragging me to the Lemon. Caitlin hadn't seen Jude but suggested asking Wyatt. So Jen and I went up to Burger McFlipsters. I went straight up to the counter to ask Wyatt if he'd seen Jude. He started laughing hysterically. I scowled and turned around to find myself face to face with just the person I'd been looking for. I felt my face go red as I wondered if he'd heard me ask Wyatt if he'd seen him. Jude, however, didn't give me any clue as to if he had or not. Then, with no warning at all, he put his hands on my shoulders, pulled me closer to him and kissed me.
Aww, it's about time, isn't it? Next chapter's gonna be the last one. Please review!
