Chapter Thirty-one:
"You behave yourself AJ." Mrs. Lee reminds her daughter like it is her first party ever.
"I will mommy."
"You stay with Jack or Randy, okay." She utters concern.
"Yes."
"Come on honey, don't embarrass her." AJ's father takes his wife away. "Remember, we know how to make someone pay if they do anything to you." He includes in a serious tone.
"Dad, I will be fine. I will get my own drinks. Also, don't put my drinks down and always have someone with me at all times." She repeats their rules with some annoyance.
"We just want to know that you will be safe. This is your first party that we don't know the parents, we are just concern." Her mother explains.
"Randy, John, and Jack will take care of me. They won't let anything happen to me." She assures them.
"I know." Her mother hugs her daughter.
The team Siblings arrive at Jack and Stacey's house. Randy and John both got a lecture on protecting their youngest sibling from their parents and AJ's.
"I hate being the youngest." She hugs being always need to be protected.
"They are just looking out for you. As long as your parents are getting to know Jack, we are here to help like always. If you want John can look after you if you are still at odds with me." Randy suggests not knowing the position they are in.
"No, you are fine." She smiles.
"Damn, there are some cuties." John surveys the room.
"Ms. Silver is a lucky woman." Randy sarcastically states.
"Hey, I can look but I can't act on them. She gave me specific rules to observe, however not to act on them. She threatens punishment if I do, do you believe that?" John doesn't like that he is treated like a student getting detention.
"Yes, I bet the punishment would be awful." AJ rolls her eyes.
"You think so." He looks at them.
Randy and AJ roll both their eyes. "Come on let's go find them."
"Ugh, who invited the lame squad." Kourtney, with Becca, observe.
"They are the partners of the guests of honour, you didn't expect them to come." Becca asks.
"No, I thought their parents know about them yet. It won't matter because I can execute my plan early." Kourtney scheme.
"You know they will be on AJ and Stacey like a hawk. Jack and Stacey probably warn them on your presence." Becca informs her.
"Will you stop killing my buzz, Becca?" Kourtney orders.
"Whatever, I hope Emily doesn't come. She is obsessed with my man." Becca drinks her soda. Since it is a family party, they can't underage drink.
"You might have to team up with her for the plan." Kourtney ponders on how to actually execute it.
"Really." She looks disgusted with the idea. "She is a cook, a weirdo." She insults.
"You will be with Jack if you do." She grins.
"Fine, anything for love." Becca reluctantly accepts.
"You three made it." Stacey runs to greet them.
"Did you find the house alright?" Jack wonders at the grill.
"Yah, sorry we are late. We, the brothers, got a lecture on this little one here." Randy hugs AJ as she sticks out her tongue at him.
"I bet they mean well, baby." He kisses her cheek.
"I know." She hugs him.
"First things first, you have to meet our parents. They both are excited to meet you all." Stacey informs them.
"Are you coming?" AJ asks Jack.
"I would, but I am grilling the food. I'll make you your favourite medium rare juicy steak to make up for it." He offers for not accompanying them right now.
"Thank you." She kisses him. What they didn't notice is that Emily just arrived to see the kiss.
"How dare a girl kiss my man." Emily steams.
"Mom, dad, they are here." Stacey announces with her parents in the upstairs living room. The first floor, main floor, is just the kitchen and dining room.
"Well there they are. We have heard great things about you all. Let me get this right. You must be AJ." Stacey's mom points to AJ.
"Yes, please to meet you." AJ smiles.
"You make our son very happy." She compliments.
"Now, you must be Randy, the boyfriend of our precious girl." She points to Randy.
"Yes ma'am, I am." He smiles as Stacey acts innocent-like.
"Oh no please call me Mrs. Bliss. So, this must be John, the running back."
"Yes Mrs. Bliss, please to meet you." He shakes her hand.
"Very polite too, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Mom." Stacey speaks in an embarrassed way.
"What, it is an innocent question?"
"Yes Mrs. Bliss I do."
"Rats, I thought I would introduce you to some ladies here if you were single." She snaps her fingers.
"I am happy with my girlfriend and I don't want to jeopardize that."
"Good answer John." Mr. Bliss compliments. "Randy, how are you grades?"
"Dad, I told you not to interrogate him." She blushes once again embarrassed.
"If you came to us before we wouldn't have done this now." Her father divulges to her to learn to not keep secrets from them.
"Fine, however can it wait until after he eats." She proposes.
"I can wait that long." He accepts being hungry as well.
Everyone is in line to get their food. There is a table outside with a buffet of food and then chairs spread out in the lawn.
"Hey Jack." Emily waves at him.
"Is that her?" AJ asks.
"Yup, that is her." Jack replies.
"She doesn't look like a person who would obsessed with you." AJ observes.
"Trust me she can be very protective of me." He warns hoping that Emily stays calm this time.
"Hey Jack, didn't you hear me?" She cuts in front of AJ knocking her back a step.
"Emily, you just interrupted my conversation with AJ." He acknowledges mouthing 'sorry' to her.
"Oh sorry." She turns around to look at AJ evilly. "I am Emily, future girlfriend of Jack." She speaks politely eerie.
"I am AJ. I go to the same school as Jack. I am also his…"
"Look the line is moving." He gently grabs AJ to guide them along.
"Nice to meet you. Jack, find me later we can sit together." She waves at them. "Stupid girl thinking I don't know that she is with my man. She will regret ever dating my man." She plots her own plan to rid of AJ.
"Hi Emily." Kourtney approach her observing the whole conversation before.
"Hey Kourtney." She greets back politely. "I thought you would not come because of a party you have to be at." Usually Kourtney tries to get out of family parties to hang out with her QB boyfriend before.
"I wouldn't miss it." She lied. "I saw you talking to Jack's new girl, AJ." She adds more fuel to the fire.
"Yah, that boyfriend stealer. Everyone knows that he is my man. She is wasting her time if she thinks Jack will not be mine." Emily promises.
"Yes, my friend Becca feels the same way. I have a plan to have you both have Jack to yourselves." Kourtney suggests hoping she takes the bait.
"He is my man and only my man." Emily orders not like sharing anything.
"He is not anyone's man if you can't get rid of AJ. She is the one holding him back from you two." Kourtney tries to reel in Emily to help them.
"You have a point there Kourtney. Okay, what is your plan?" Kourtney smirks that she caught her.
Jack and AJ join their friends after he explained that Emily doesn't know about them. "You better control this girl, Jack." Randy warns. "If she hurts AJ, I will have no resist to kick your butt."
"I can handle myself, Randy." AJ states determine to not have anyone come to her rescue.
"I know it is just for added security." He smiles.
"What is with this chick anyways?" John takes a spoonful of potato salad.
"It is a girl I meet before High School. We both had a crush on each other until last summer." Jack starts.
"What happened last summer?" John inquires.
"She gave me a scrapbook of pictures and memories of us before." He continues.
"What is wrong with that?"
"The pictures were candid of her. Let's just say it was more than I wanted to see of her." He shakes his head with some of them still linger in his mind.
"There are-"
"No." Jack dismisses. "She was just in her underwear in different poses. Moreover, some of them of me through my window half naked." Jack stutters at the images.
"Stalker alert." John announces.
"Yup." Jack agrees.
"She can be jealous easily. She yelled at a girl for asking me directions. At the carnival, she snaps at a group of girls whispering while looking at us. She caused a huge scene. Another event, she yelled at a child for selling me cookies." He lists some of her jealous record.
"Wow." They all express in shock.
"Yup, it is better for all of us if she doesn't know."
"That will be a problem." Stacey sees Emily with Kourtney. "Ms. Emily is with our favourite torture Kourtney and Becca." Stacey points out.
"Oh man this is not good." Jack shakes his head.
"Dude, what is with them having a crush on you?" Randy inquires. "They could have me instead of you." Stacey hits him on the arm hard. "Ow, I mean good luck." He rubs his arm moving away from his girlfriend.
"You are mine." Stacey authorizes.
"Yes Stacey." He wraps his arms around her.
"I wish it was you." Stacey glares at Randy. "What, at least I could help him fight them off for you." He explains.
"No one, not even Kourtney will take my man away from me." She kisses his head.
"Whost, Randy is whipped." John chuckles.
"Shut up." He fires back.
"What do you think they have planned?" AJ wonders.
"They are going to use something to split us up; the divide and conquer tactic."
"Okay, we always stick together no matter what." Randy advises. "We can't let them see any of us by ourselves." Randy conduct their own plan.
"Sounds like a plan."
The plan seems to be working with Kourtney, Becca, and Emily just minding their own business, that is until Kourtney speaks to Mrs. Bliss.
"Son, can you get the ice cream machine from Kourtney's car? She brought it with her when I didn't have time to." Mrs. Bliss orders.
"Okay mom."
"Take John with you it might be heavy." She smiles aware of her children's plan.
"Sure thing Mrs. Bliss." John answers.
"I'll be back AJ." Jack kisses her.
"Okay, let John carry all the weight." She whispers.
"I heard that." John spoils.
Jack and John head to Kourtney's car, with of course Kourtney with them.
"What is your plan, Kourtney?" Jack inquires.
"No plan." She normally walks to her car.
"You were talking to Emily, you never to talk to her." Jack observes.
"I feel sorry for her having to watch her boyfriend cheat on her." She opens the back.
"I am not her boyfriend." Jack mentions to her.
"Of course not." She rolls her eyes. "You didn't make out with her and then never called her again." She exposes.
"I…" He stumbles. They did kiss, but Emily changed her number afterwards to seem like he didn't call her.
"Is this true?" John wonders. He doesn't want that to happen to AJ.
"Oh it is true, he is a cheater, a player, he will break girls' hearts just like he did with Emily's. Now, take this out of my car." She orders pointing to the ice cream machine.
"Jack, you didn't." John is in disbelief. Jack sulks his head down. "Are you going to tell AJ?"
"I…" He shakes his head.
"If you don't, I will. She deserves to know who you really are." John marches back into the house.
"I guess he can't handle the truth." Kourtney titters.
Jack shoots a devilish glare at her. "You think you can expose my secrets." He speaks low and menacingly. "Have you forgotten what we did to have Emily lose interest in me before? You might think that I will do it again." He threatens.
"Once a cheater always a cheater." She utters not afraid of him.
"Well lets us tell the whole party what we did? I bet your parents will like to know." He threatens again.
"If you do, I will tell AJ you cheated on her." Kourtney counters.
"I will never cheat on her." Jack speaks with certainty.
"You did. Becca and Emily come out." She calls out. They come out with their hands behind their back. Kourtney kicks him in the jewels as Emily knocks him out with chloroform.
"John, where is Jack?" AJ inquires as John arrives at them.
"AJ, I need to tell you something." He says regaining his breath.
"What is wrong?" She notices his urgency.
"I don't want you to be angry with me." He mentions.
"What is it? Why isn't Jack with you?" Their plan is dissolving with Jack by himself.
"Jack is a cheater, a player." John blurts out. "He dated Emily before and never broke it off. He cheated on her with you." He confesses.
"No, he wouldn't do that. He loves me. They never dated, he told me so." AJ is in disbelief with this information. "You probably misunderstood." She won't believe this is real.
"He didn't deny it." John continues.
"Where is he?"
"Outside in the front lawn." John directs.
AJ runs through the house to be tripped by Kourtney. She almost falls, but steadies herself on the arm of the couch.
"Why in such a hurry, shrimp?" Kourtney laughs.
"Where is Jack? What you have done with him?" AJ yells already pissed off.
"We did nothing. He volunteered to come." Kourtney doesn't let her attitude affect her.
"Where did you take him?" She demands in true panic.
"He took Becca and Emily to his room for some 'private time'." She wiggles her eyebrows.
"No he wouldn't." She starts to tear up.
"You don't know Jack, this is him, this is his true nature." Kourtney exposes.
"No, you are lying." She yells back in denial almost in verge of tears.
"See for yourself." She directs her upstairs.
"Jack!" She bangs on the door. "Jack!" She calls again. There is no answer.
"He probably can't hear you from all the pleasure from both Becca and Emily." She innocently suggests.
"No, he won't." Her tears fall down. "Jack!" She tries to open it not believing he could be what they say about him.
"No choice, you just have to accept it." Kourtney advises.
AJ slaps her hard. "You slut, you made him like this. You ruined my life." She continues to hit her so full of rage. Kourtney tries to defend herself, but is surprise by her attitude.
"AJ." Randy calls out on the stairs. "AJ!" He sees her hit and slap someone. "AJ, stop!" He grabs her.
"No, let me go!" She wiggles in Randy's arms.
"AJ, what happened?" He tries to keep her calm.
"Keep your shrimp in line she should be caged." She fixes herself.
"Shut up Kourtney this is probably your fault." He continues to hold AJ tight.
"Not this time, I am just filling her in on information about Jack."
"She is a liar she deserves to be beaten." She screams still trying to escape.
"AJ, what did she say?" He looks at AJ.
"She… she told me that… Jack is… Jack is…" She can't get the words out.
"He is a cheater. He is with Becca and Emily inside right now having good times." Kourtney smirks.
"It is not true. Randy, it can't be true." She cries into his chest.
"Oh it is." She adds.
"We will figure it out. Come on let us head back." He guides her back. He wants to figure this however he needs to make sure AJ is fine first.
"Randy, how about we have our own private time?" Kourtney flirts.
"Suck an egg." He replies back guiding her to the stairs.
"I rather suck something else." She giggles.
"Yup, you are good at that because you can't do anything else." He insults.
"I am better than anyone." She argues back.
"Can you two cut down the noise, we can't hear ourselves?" Becca comes out with a blanket.
"You slut." AJ escapes to run to Becca, however Randy stops her again.
"I will handle this." Randy marches pass Kourtney to Becca. "Let me speak to Jack." Randy orders.
"He is being pleasured right now." Becca stands his ground.
"Tell him I would like to speak to me." Randy doesn't back down either.
"Okay." She opens the door, although automatically closes it.
Kourtney chuckles. "You got hustled."
"You wanna be slut, porn star, get out of my face." He walks to AJ.
"No one calls me that." She kicks him in the balls. "You will be mine whether you like it or not." She knocks him out.
"You stop it." AJ attacks her.
"AJ!" John calls out with Stacey. "Come on." He drags her downstairs.
"Kourtney, what did you do?" Stacey attends to Randy.
"I am playing with my boyfriend." She innocently informs her.
"He is not your-" Kourtney hits Stacey with a vase to knock her out. She cackles before getting an idea. She lowers both Stacey's and Randy's pants before laying Stacey on top of Randy before calling Stacey's parents.
John and AJ are outside to calm AJ down.
"What happened?" John sits her down.
"You were right. I heard-" She sobs in his chest.
"It is okay I wish I wasn't." He comforts her.
"Why didn't I see it coming?" AJ wonders why this happen to her.
"I don't know. I-" A ruffling up leaves interrupts him. They look at the bushes wondering who is there. "AJ, stay here." John checks it out to find out that…
