Author's Note: You guys do not realize how sorry I am for the long wait. This chapter was really hard to type and I literally paced at night trying to think of ideas. But! I overcame the dreaded WRITER'S BLOCK!... Ok, I'm done. Here is your 5th chapter!
" Jordan. Yo, Jordan! Get up! "
Jordan's eyes fluttered open at the unfamiliar voice. It couldn't have been Charlotte, because 1.) She didn't even know the word " Yo" and 2.) It was a freaking male's voice.
Jordan's vision cleared to see Elijah grinning down at him, Stevie and Damon standing behind him. " AH! HOLY CRAP-!" Jordan shot out of his bed and covered himself with his blankets, for he was only wearing boxers. " HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET IN HERE!? " Jordan screamed at them " Your little sis let us in," Stevie said " She's...really gullible, to be exact." " Yeah, she let us in the moment we said we were Jordan's friends. " Damon said, running his fingers through his afro. Elijah suddenly grabbed Jordan's shoulders and shook him vigorously " Never mind that! What are you doing sleeping on a Saturday, yo?! "
Jordan shook his head to recuperate. " It's a Saturday? " Jordan turned his head to his calendar. It was a Saturday. Elijah let go of his shoulders " Come on and get dressed! Nobody wants to see your Miss Piggy boxers. " he said, smirking. Jordan fumbled around at his blanket and glared at him " Remind me to tell Charlotte that you guys are murderers planning to kill me and should not be allowed in the house. Get out of my room! " Stevie raised his index finger, indicating he was about to say something logically " Actually, we would have a 3% percent chance we would grow up to be murderers. Well, for us anyway-" " GET OUT! " Jordan screamed. Damon pushed Stevie and Elijah toward the door " OK, OK, we're going! " With that, Damon shoved Stevie and Elijah roughly out the door, smiling nervously at Jordan before walking out himself.
Jordan shook his head and laughed softly. Those were truly his best friends.
Charlotte sat across from the three weird boys at the dinner table, contemplating whether to chase them out with a broom or offer them something to eat. She wondered if her father would mind her giving them some yogurt, though he did work on Saturdays and let them eat whatever they wanted in the refrigerator. Charlotte reluctantly chose to offer them something to eat, as much as she wanted to hit them with a dusty old broom.
" Do you boys want something to eat? " she asked very innocently
Damon was snapped out of his thoughts and he looked at Charlotte. Stevie turned to Charlotte as well and Elijah looked up from his game pod at Charlotte. Damon smiled and lightly shook his head " No, we're fine- " Elijah covered his mouth quickly and grinned at Charlotte " What do you got!? "
Charlotte jumped out her seat and opened the refrigerator " We have some yogurt, some leftover Mac n Cheese, some chicken noodle soup- " Elijah grabbed the named items out the refrigerator " We'll take 'em! " Damon groaned and face-palmed. Stevie shook his head and put his head down on the table. Charlotte gaped at Elijah and slowly inched her way to the broom.
Before Charlotte could bonk Elijah over the head, Jordan came downstairs, all dressed. " Dudes, I'm ready. You got your skateboards? " Damon and Stevie stood up from their seats " Yeah, they're outside " Jordan nodded and turned to Elijah " Hey, buddy! If your done eating us out of house and home, can we hit the road now? " Elijah held up a finger " Just a minute. " Jordan rolled his eyes and turned to Charlotte " I called Leona. She says she'll be here in about 6 minutes. You gonna be alright until then? " Charlotte smiled and nodded. Elijah looked up " Who's Leona? She sounds pretty hot " Damon face-palmed and grabbed Elijah's hoodie " You're never gonna get a girlfriend, dude..." He said, dragging Elijah out the door. Stevie shook his head and looked down at Charlotte " Never grow up to be like us, small child. " After that, he walked out the door. Jordan ruffled Charlotte's curly hair " Be nice to Leona when she comes, 'kay? " " Ok! Have fun and don't get put in juvie! " Jordan waved and walked out the door.
" So, guys? Any ideas on what to do today? " Joy asked his fellow co-workers with a bright smile on his face. Fear raised his hand up high " I got a good one! NOT DIE! "
The other emotions stared at him with blank expressions. " *cough* boring *cough* " Joy muttered. Fear glared at him " Well, at least mine is sensible! "
Joy rolled his eyes and pulled out an Idea Bulb " I have an excellent idea. " He said as he walked back over to the console. Disgust stared at him " Please don't let this idea cause us to slip in dog pee again..." He said, shuddering. Joy rubbed the back of his neck and looked away, smiling nervously " Well, obviously that idea didn't work well but I assure you: This idea will make our day awesome! " Grinning, Joy stuck the Idea Bulb in the console and waited. Soon, it sank in and glowed. " Perfect! No turning back now, gang! " Joy pumped his fist.
Disgust shrugged while Sadness nodded. Anger angrily pulled his cap over his eyes and stomped over to the couch " Wake me up when we get to Elijah's house. " Fear took off his cap and replaced it with a hockey helmet " Just in case we die " With that he turned and walked away, his hands stuffed furiously in his pockets. Joy stared after him, confusion gleaming in his eyes.
What's wrong with them? Don't they trust me? What, they think I'm gonna get Jordan hurt?
The thought made him frown at the 3 emotions before turning back to the console, glaring up at the monitor. Sadness stood beside him, nervously shifting his feet. Sadness looked up at his taller friend " Joy? You ok, bro? " Joy looked down at his shorter friend and smiled " Pssh, of course I'm ok! I-I mean, what makes you think I'm not ok? " Sadness looked down and shook his head " N-nothing... "
Joy nodded and looked up at the monitor, determination flaring up in his eyes.
I'll show them... I'm gonna make Jordan's life worth living...
