Jack, Jesse, and Jason ordered some drinks after sitting on stools at the bar.

"This place is packed. We sure picked a good one to come to." Jesse said happily.

"Yeah...It's too bad Madison couldn't come...She went to some party with Lauren..." Jason said sadly.

"Oh...You're interested in Madison again? When did this happen?" Jack asked surprised.

"Uh...A couple weeks ago...We kind of made out...Heh..." Jason said awkwardly.

"Good for you, dude...If you want her then you should go to that party." Jesse said kindly.

"But Lauren's there...If I go, she'll probably keep tabs on me and Madison...Besides, I thought we were having a guy's night out." Jason said seriously.

"You're right...It would be more fun with girls though..." Jesse said sadly.

"No kidding...I feel like an idiot dancing without a girl...No offense to you guys..." Jack said honestly.

"It's fine Jack...Maybe next time we can come with girls...And at an eighteen plus club...There's too many younger girls here..." Jesse said smiling.

"Heh...Yeah...This beer looks good..." Jack said as he smiled.

"Um...You're not going to get drunk again, are you?" Jason asked worried.

"Of course not...I didn't bring a bunch of money with me..." Jack said seriously after taking a sip of his beer.

"That's what's stopping you from getting drunk? Jack...You need to be careful...If coach catches you drunk, you probably won't be playing football next year...And you can defiantly forget wrestling...You ended up in the newspaper for almost kissing Grace...It could happen if you drink too much..." Jesse said honestly.

"You're right, Jesse...I'm not going to get drunk again...I don't know what came over me at that party last night...I just...wanted to have some fun...But I felt horrible this morning..." Jack said sadly.

"I sure hope not...Drinking too much alcohol can really damage your liver..." Jason said sternly.

"Jack? What are you doing here?" A familiar voice said from behind Jack.

"Clementine? Hey!" Jack said surprised and Clementine gave Jack a short hug.

"Wow...Hey there...I'm Jesse...Are you single?" Jesse said as he smirked.

"Heh...You're cute...How old are you? Like nineteen? And I'm not single." Clementine said firmly.

"Uh...No...I just turned twenty one..." Jesse said awkwardly.

"So...who's your boyfriend?" Jack asked seriously.

"Hey Jack...What are you doing here?" Daniel said concerned as he walked next to Clementine.

"Wait...You two know each other?" Clementine asked surprised.

"Yeah...He actually lived with Grace when...I was with her..." Daniel said awkwardly.

"What? You dated her too?" Clementine asked shocked.

"Uh...We'll be right back..." Jason said nervously as he walked away from them with Jesse.

"It was a long time ago and it didn't really mean anything..." Daniel said honestly.

"Wow...You're more pathetic than I thought..." Jack said sternly as he crossed his arms.

"Excuse me? You never really cared about Grace either..." Daniel said a little irritated.

"Uh...Grace isn't even here so why..." Clementine was cut off by Jack.

"I had sex with Clementine." Jack said meanly as he looked at Daniel straight in the eyes.

"Really?" Daniel asked concerned.

"I did...And it was a lot of fun actually...I bet she wouldn't be satisfied with you..." Jack said stubbornly.

"You little punk!" Daniel said angrily as he lifted his fist.

"Daniel no! Please don't hurt Jack!" Clementine said loudly as she stood in front of Jack.

"Daniel?! What the hell is going on?" Chloe said shocked from behind him.

"Chloe? Why are you here?" Daniel said surprised as he put his fist down.

"I was hanging out with my friend Brandon but...he had to leave...Were you about to punch Jack?" Chloe asked concerned.

"Uh...Yeah...I overreacted to something he said about my girlfriend, Clementine..." Daniel said sadly.

"Oh...Clementine, huh...What happened to that other skank that you were with?" Chloe said defensively.

"Um...Young lady...you shouldn't call other girls those kinds of names..." Clementine said awkwardly.

"I'm sorry but...I used to be a prostitute so I think I have the right to call other girls whatever I want..." Chloe said cruelly.

"Uh...Raven and I just didn't work out..." Daniel said nervously.

"I don't care what you used to be...You shouldn't call girls those kinds of names..." Clementine said firmly.

"Whatever you say, grandma...I'm about ready to get out of here anyway..." Chloe said annoyed as she rolled her eyes.

"Um...I'm going to find my friends so...I'll see you guys later..." Jack said awkwardly as he stood up.

"No, no Jack...We're not finished here..." Daniel said firmly as he stood in front of Jack.

"Ok...I guess I'll stay here then..." Jack said as he sat back down on his stool.

"Uh...Well before you go, how do you know Daniel and Jack?" Clementine asked intrigued.

"I dated both of them and it was a huge waste of time...I would suggest that you avoid them as best as you can...They both think they're so tough cause they have large arm muscles and are good at sports and they think they know how to treat a girl right but...they don't cause they're selfish pigs...And if you're with Daniel because you think he's more mature, that's a lie...He only uses that act to sleep with any girl he's attracted to...I mean...he slept with Grace when he barely knew her and she cheated on her old boyfriend Grant with him...Just because she thought he was more mature than him...If you ask me, any guy who sleeps with a girl who already has a boyfriend is an idiot...Because then he'll end up hurting and confusing her even more...So...I hope you guys have a lovely evening and I'll see ya around..." Chloe said honestly and firmly and she walked away from them.

"Wow...That kid's pretty smart..." Clementine said surprised.

"Yeah...She has been through the block a few times..." Daniel said awkwardly.

"Are you trying to be funny right now? Cause that wasn't funny..." Clementine said concerned.

"Heh...Don't take it that way...I meant...she's a lot smarter than she looks cause she's had a pretty tough life..." Daniel said seriously.

"She has...That's why I helped her out...at school..." Jack said sadly.

"Oh...She's the teen prostitute that you helped when that Mickey guy came...Wow...I didn't know that...And you dated her?" Clementine said intrigued.

"Yep...That's Chloe...We went out for a short time recently...but...things didn't work out cause she hooked up with another guy at a party...But I didn't really care cause I didn't like her that much..." Jack said sadly.

"Man...I'm sorry to hear that Jack...And...You really did sleep with Clementine?" Daniel said sincerely and then concerned.

"Yes...We did...One time and...it didn't really mean anything and...it happened a long time ago...Before I met you...I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before..." Clementine said sincerely.

"Heh...It's ok...We've only been going out for a couple weeks..." Daniel said as he smiled.

"Thanks...But we've known each other for months...and...I want to be honest with you..." Clementine said sweetly.

"Are we cool now?" Jack said concerned.

"Yeah man...No hard feelings..." Daniel said kindly and he shook Jack's hand.

"Thanks...I'll see you two later...I gotta go find Jason and Jesse..." Jack said nicely and he walked past them.

"So...Is what Chloe said about you true?" Clementine asked as she smiled.

"Uh...Not really...I think she just said that cause we didn't end our relationship in the best way...If it was true, would that bother you?" Daniel said seriously.

"Well...I would hope that you wouldn't have to use an act to sleep with me...I like you, just the way you are..." Clementine said happily.

"Heh...All right...I like you how you are too...Let's dance..." Daniel said as he smiled and then he grabbed Clementine's hand and walked to the dance floor with her.

A few minutes later Jack walked out of the bathroom after looking for Jesse and Jason.

"Oh man...Where did they go?" Jack said to himself worried as he walked outside of the club and then he pulled out his phone. He called Jason and Jesse but he got both of their voice mails.

Jack sighed and he called Grace. After a few rings she answered.

"Ugh...What do you want Jack? It's like one thirty in the morning and we have church tomorrow..." Grace said annoyed.

"Uh...I'm sorry to bother you, Grace but I think Jack and Jesse ditched me to go to a party..." Jack said seriously.

"Wow...Even your friends think you're pathetic...Heh...That's a whole new low for you..." Grace said sarcastically as she smiled.

"This isn't funny! I'm at this club downtown and Jesse drove us...And I'm pretty sure his car is gone...Could Ricky possibly pick me up? I would hate to bother my parents this late..." Jack said honestly.

"Ricky's fast asleep...And I am so tired...How about you call Adrian? I'm sure she would love to come pick you up in the middle of the night..." Grace said a little irritated.

"Ugh...Come on Grace...If someone doesn't pick me up then I'll have to go ask Daniel to drive me home..." Jack said sternly.

"What? Daniel's there? With who?" Grace said surprised as she got out of bed and walked into the kitchen.

"Clementine...I couldn't believe it...I'm pretty sure they just got here so they probably wouldn't want to drive me..." Jack said concerned.

"Wow...That's interesting...Can't you like call someone else to pick you up? I couldn't drive all the way downtown safely without falling asleep..." Grace said sleepily as she yawned.

"Oh yeah...I would hate for you to get in a car accident...Do we know anyone who lives closer to downtown?" Jack said worried and then intrigued.

"Aww...Thanks Jack...I knew you had a good piece of your heart in there somewhere...Heh...Um...What about someone you go to school with?" Grace said sweetly and then seriously.

"Heh...You're welcome...People I go to school with are from all over the country...They're probably still at home until Monday...You're honestly my only hope, Grace...I don't want to get mugged or something..." Jack said concerned.

"Ha...ha...Very funny...You're not begging me to come down there just to try and pull a move on me, are you?" Grace said a little irritated.

"No...Don't be ridiculous...Why? Do you want me to?" Jack said honestly.

"Uh...No...Wait...What about...that kid you mentored...He lived in the city right?" Grace said awkwardly and then intrigued.

"Heh...I thought you would say that...Oh Duncan! I totally forgot about him! He does live close to here. Thank you so much!" Jack said happily.

"No problem...Good night Jack and be careful..." Grace said kindly.

"Good night Grace...I love you..." Jack said nicely.

"Heh...Yeah...I...uh...you too...Bye..." Grace said nervously and she hung up.

"What did I just do? Oh crap..." Jack said worried to himself.

"Ugh...I can't believe he said that..." Grace said quietly to herself as she rolled her eyes.

"Grace? Wha...What are you doing?" Ricky said sleepily as he walked into the kitchen.

"Oh...Jack called cause he needed a ride...He's fine..." Grace said sweetly.

"Ok...Why...did he need a ride?" Ricky said confused as he wiped his eyes.

"Cause Jesse and Jason went to a party...We should go back to bed...I'm tired..." Grace said as she yawned.

"Me too...You want me to carry you?" Ricky said as he smiled.

"Heh...You don't have to do that..." Grace said nicely as she walked by Ricky and put her hands around his neck.

"Are you sure?" Ricky said seriously.

"I'm sure..." Grace smiled and she gave Ricky a long kiss.

"Mmm...I love you so much..." Ricky said happily as he put his hands on Grace's waist.

"I love you too...Now let's get some rest...Or we won't wake up in time for church tomorrow..." Grace said kindly as she moved her body right up against Ricky's.

"Heh...Are you sure about that?" Ricky asked as he smirked.

"Um...Yeah..." Grace said smiling and Ricky gave her a long kiss.

"Ok...Let's get some sleep..." Ricky said seriously and he picked up Grace.

"Aaaah! Ricky! I told you that you didn't have to pick me up!" Grace said surprised as she laughed.

"Well...You sure looked like you wanted to be picked up...Ha ha..." Ricky said happily as he carried her into the bedroom after he turned the kitchen lights off.

The next day in New York...

"Ugh...What time is it?" Amy said sleepily as she stretched her arms.

"Uh...It's...one in the afternoon!"Ben said shocked as he looked at his phone.

"What? How is that possible?" Amy said confused.

"I guess we're still jet lagged...It's only ten in California..." Ben said as he sat up.

"Yeah...I guess John's still sleeping...Do you want breakfast or lunch?" Amy said as she smiled.

"Heh...Lunch sounds fine to me...I'm not really in the mood for breakfast food..." Ben said kindly.

"Ok...What about some chocolate syrup later?" Amy said intrigued as she got out of bed.

"Ha...ha...Very funny..." Ben said sarcastically as he got out of bed.

"What? I thought you wanted to do it..." Amy said concerned.

"I do but...I think if we talk about it more, it might make it less exciting when we do try it..." Ben said awkwardly as he changed shirts.

"Oh...You're probably right...I'll just let it go for now...What do you want for lunch?" Amy said sweetly.

"Um...I think we have some meatloaf and potatoes..." Ben said nicely as they walked into the kitchen.

"Mmm...That sounds really good...You can go ahead and make it...I need to get John up..." Amy said smiling and she walked into John's room.

"All right...I am so tired..." Ben said as he wiped his eyes and then he opened the fridge to get the meatloaf and potatoes out.

A few minutes later Amy walked back into the kitchen.

"Uh...John's not in his room..." Amy said concerned.

"What? Are you sure? We brought him home last night...Right?" Ben said surprised.

"I thought we did...Oh...no...I hope we didn't leave him at the airport or something...This can not be happening!" Amy said as she started panic and her body started to shake.

"Woah...Calm down Amy! We'll find him...Maybe he went outside..." Ben said seriously.

"I've never lost him before, Ben! I feel like such an idiot!" Amy said as she raised her voice.

"It's ok...Let's go look for him outside." Ben said sternly as he turned off the stove.

Next Amy and Ben ran out the door and called John's name as they walked down the hall.

"Ugh...I don't think he's in the hall...Maybe he went downstairs..." Amy said annoyed.

"Yeah...Or he could have went outside..." Ben said concerned as he pointed at a door that led outside.

"Ok...You go outside and I'll check downstairs..." Amy said seriously and she went down some stairs at the end of the hall while Ben ran outside.

Both of them yelled John's name as they looked for him. Ben went down some other stairs and he looked for John and then he turned around and his eyes widened.

"Oh no! John's on the roof!" Ben said shocked as he saw John wobbling around on the roof. A few minutes later Amy walked outside.

"Ben! What are you doing?" Amy said firmly.

"Uh...Look at the roof..." Ben said seriously.

"You've got to be kidding me! Ugh...How did he get up there?" Amy said annoyed as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm guessing with a ladder...Man...This is terrible...I don't know how to get on the roof..." Ben said worried.

"Let's go find a ladder then..." Amy said sternly as she ran back towards the apartment with Ben behind her. They went up some stairs and walked towards the back of the building and saw a ladder that led to the roof.

"Ok...I'll go get him and hand him to you...This isn't that high up..." Amy said seriously and she climbed up the ladder.

"Yay! Roofy roof!" John said excited as he walked around the roof with one of his car toys.

"John! You need to come over here...Right now..." Amy said firmly as she walked on the roof.

"No! I like the roof!" John said stubbornly as he threw his car.

"Ugh...Come on John...If you don't get down...You won't get any ice cream..." Amy said irritated as she walked towards John.

"Nooo! I want ice cream!" John said happily as he walked over to Amy and she picked him up.

"Oh...Thank God...Don't ever do this again, John...You could get hurt..." Amy said seriously as she looked at John and walked back towards the ladder.

"You got him?" Ben said concerned.

"Yeah...Here...Grab his legs..." Amy said sternly as she put John's legs on the edge of the roof.

"Uh...I can't reach him Amy...Just tell him to go down the ladder..." Ben said seriously as he tried to grab John.

"No Ben...If we let him go, then he might run off again..." Amy said annoyed.

"Oh yeah...I'll climb up the ladder and then you can hand him to me..." Ben said nicely and he climbed half way up the ladder and Amy handed John to him.

"All right...Hang on John...We're going to get you down..." Ben said worried as he held John with one arm and climbed down the ladder with the other.

"Whew...You made it...I'm coming down now..." Amy said as she relieved and she climbed down the ladder.

"Man...That was scary...I'm so glad he's ok..." Ben said as he smiled.

"Me too...From now on, we should always lock the apartment door before we go to bed..." Amy said honestly as they walked back to the door.

"Key! Key!" John said happily.

"Oh...He must have unlocked it with one of our keys...I thought I locked the door last night..." Ben said awkwardly.

"What? When did he learn how to unlock doors with keys?" Amy asked confused.

"I don't know...Maybe Ricky taught him how to do it..." Ben said seriously as they walked inside.

"Yeah...Ugh...I'll have to talk to him about that...At least John is ok..." Amy said a little irritated as they walked back into their room.

"True...Now we can have lunch..." Ben said calmly as he shut the door and then he turned the stove back on.

There's chapter 68! I would keep going but I'm tired. Lol. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who reviews this story since I have over 100 reviews and that truly means a lot! You guys are awesome and you keep motivating me to continue this story! I have so much fun writing it for you! So a lot of crazy stuff happened in this chapter. Are Daniel and Clementine going to last? Was what Chloe said about Jack and Daniel a little harsh? What did Jack mean when said I love you to Grace? And did Jesse and Jason ditch Jack to go to the party that Madison and Lauren were at? How is church going to go for Ricky and Grace? What will Amy say to Ricky about John being on the roof? Sounds like Amy and Ben need to do a better job of watching John too. Omar and Adrian will be back in the next chapter! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
