"You're right Case...I wonder who shot him..." Cappie said seriously.
"Who would have shot him?" Grace said concerned as she lifted Rusty's pants up.
"I have no idea...This is terrible..." Casey said sadly as Grace took off her leather jacket and applied pressure to Rusty's bleeding leg.
"I can't believe this...Is he gonna make it?" Cappie said worried.
"I sure hope so..." Grace said sternly as she kept applying pressure to Rusty's leg.
A few minutes later the paramedics arrived.
"What is the problem?" A tall man said as he walked over to them out of the ambulance and two other men walked over to them with a stretcher.
"Apparently he was shot...I've been applying pressure to his leg...I also tried CPR on him...I'm a pre-med student..." Grace said seriously.
"Ok...Get him on the stretcher!" The tall man said loudly and the other two men put a backboard underneath Rusty and then they lifted him on the the stretcher and got him in the ambulance.
"Thank you for your help miss...Who are you two?" The tall man said seriously.
"I'm his sister sir...And he's my boyfriend..." Casey said nicely as she looked at the man and then she turned to Cappie.
"All right...You can follow us to the hospital. It should take us about ten minutes to get there..." The tall man said firmly and he ran into the ambulance.
"Do you want me to come with you two?" Grace said sweetly.
"Sure...If you want...You did try to save Spitter's life..." Cappie said smiling.
"Come on! Let's go before the ambulance gets too far away!" Casey said sternly as they ran to her red car and got in it.
A few minutes later Cappie, Casey, and Grace arrived at the hospital and they saw Rusty being taken into the ER room.
"Oh no! I can't believe this is happening!" Casey said worried.
"It's ok Casey...Spitter will be fine..." Cappie said seriously as he pulled Casey into a hug.
"I'm sorry but...why do you call him Spitter?" Grace said intrigued.
"Heh...Um...Back when Rusty was a pledge he spit out his tequila on a girl at a Kappa Tau party...Ever since then, I've called him that." Cappie said smiling.
"Would it kill you to be serious for two minutes? Rusty could die!" Casey said firmly as she let go of Cappie.
"What? Grace wanted to know why I call him that...I guess we should sit down..." Cappie said nicely as they walked over by a couch and sat down.
"So...How long have you two been together?" Grace said intrigued.
"Almost three years...But we've known each other since we were in college..." Casey said nicely.
"That's really great! What do you guys do?" Grace said kindly.
"Well...I make amazing margaritas and Vodka shots with orange juice..." Cappie said happily.
"Oh...You're a bar tender, Cappie?" Grace said surprised.
"Ha ha...No he's not...He actually teaches philosophy at a community college...Believe it or not...Heh...It took him forever to pick a major in college...And I'm a lawyer..." Casey said honestly.
"Wow...That's really exciting! My best friend Adrian wants to be a lawyer..." Grace said sweetly.
"Teaching philosophy is pretty interesting...The questions those kids come up with can be very intriguing...Which is why I use the textbook in class...Ha ha...And lawyers are pretty great too." Cappie said smiling.
"Heh...Yeah...At least we're making good money, Cap..." Casey said nicely.
"I'm sure you two are...I can't wait to become a doctor and save people's lives...I could care less about the money..." Grace said happily.
"You shouldn't wish your life away, kid...Try to enjoy college while you can...They're some of the best years of your life...And you'll care about money when you start paying bills...And what does Tom Cruise do?" Cappie said honestly.
"You're right Cappie...And Ricky works at a butcher shop and he wants to have his own business someday and maybe be a therapist..." Grace said seriously.
"That's really amazing...I bet he'll be good at it..." Casey said kindly.
"I hope so..." Grace said smiling and then her phone rang and she walked away from them and answered it.
"Man...I sure would like to have her save me...Where were all these hot pre-med students at CRU?" Cappie said smiling.
"Oh, would you shut up? You were too busy trying to get back with me, remember?" Casey said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah...I'm sure glad I did...I love you..." Cappie said happily and he gave Casey a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too, Cap...I really hope Rusty will be ok..." Casey said sadly.
"Hey...If he made it through being a Kappa Tau, then I think he can handle this..." Cappie said honestly.
"Are you being serious right now?" Casey said a little irritated.
"Oh, I'm dead serious, Casey...Kappa Tau prepared Spitter to survive through anything..." Cappie said sternly.
"Heh...We'll see...I just can't believe someone would shoot him..." Casey said concerned.
"Well...Sometimes these things happen...Maybe it was Rebecca..." Cappie said seriously.
"Yeah right...I know she could be really terrible but I don't think she would ever shoot someone..." Casey said firmly.
Meanwhile Grace was on the phone in a hallway.
"So...You're going to help Amy and Ben by having them live with you?" Grace said shocked.
"I know it sounds crazy but I think it might work...They're too tempted to sleep together while they're alone so...they will be less tempted to if they stay with me and Omar...It's perfect!" Adrian said happily.
"Wait...You're not doing this to try and get back with Ben, are you?" Grace said suspiciously.
"Of course not! Don't be ridiculous, Grace! I want to help them...How have you been?" Adrian said sternly and then nicely.
"Well...I hope you can help them...And I've been all right...I talked to my Dad earlier at the golf course..." Grace said awkwardly and then sadly.
"You don't think I can help Ben and Amy...Do you? And how was talking to your dad?" Adrian said a little irritated and then seriously.
"Um...I think you can but...you've had sex for the wrong reasons before...I'm sorry...And talking to my Dad was nice...I really miss him..." Grace said honestly.
"So have you...But now I do it for the right reasons so I know that I can help Amy and Ben get through this...I know you miss your dad...I bet he misses you too..." Adrian said sternly and then concerned.
"You're right...Good luck with them...Jack talked to me after I talked to my Dad...He apologized for saying that all I care about is Ricky...And he's over me and ready to start a new chapter in his life...I just couldn't believe it...It's like he turned into a different person..." Grace said nicely and then surprised.
"Thanks, Grace...Jack told me that he was over you too...And he's becoming friends with Ricky...I guess God is finally helping him move on..." Adrian said seriously.
"What? When did Jack tell you that? I sure hope God is helping him move on cause I can't take it anymore if he pulls a move on me again..." Grace said a little irritated.
"He told me the other day...I doubt he's going to pull a move on you again...He sounded pretty serious about being over you...He even asked me about Ricky setting him up with someone...Do you know who it could be?" Adrian said intrigued.
"I have no idea...Ricky hasn't said anything to me about fixing Jack up with someone...I'll have to ask him about it..." Grace said concerned.
"Yeah...and...Ricky told me that you two went to the beach last night..." Adrian said smiling.
"Oh...Heh...He did..." Grace said nervously as her cheeks turned red.
"Uh huh...He said that you two made out for a couple hours..." Adrian said suspiciously.
"Yeah...It was really romantic...We even kept our clothes on cause it was a little chilly..." Grace said sweetly.
"I bet it was...Anything else?" Adrian said concerned.
"We talked about wanting to own a mansion and...Bob a little...Ricky really wants him gone..." Grace said sadly.
"A mansion? Maybe you two could pull it off after you become a doctor and Ricky owns a big business...I know he wants Bob gone...I do too...That man is terribly evil..." Adrian said surprised and then seriously.
"Yeah...We'll see...And I gave a guy CPR earlier at the golf course...He got shot in the leg and he's in the ER right now...He's Casey's brother...She's here with Cappie...They were at the toga party..." Grace said honestly.
"Oh no! Do you think he'll make it? And Casey sent Omar and I one hundred dollars for the baby...She's one of Omar's old friends..." Adrian said shocked and then nicely.
"Oh yeah...That's really great, Adrian...Casey is really nice...I sure hope he makes it...His heart wasn't beating when I checked but...hopefully the doctors can save him...I would hate to lose my brothers..." Grace said sadly.
"She is...Hopefully they know what they're doing...And Omar's going to send Casey a thank you card...An electronic one..." Adrian said nicely.
"I'm sure they do...Heh...It feels like I'm a doctor already since I've been in the hospital so much lately...First with Omar, then Amy, then Jack again, and now...Rusty...I'm sure Casey will like the card...She's also a lawyer so...she might be a good person to use for networking..." Grace said kindly.
"Don't get too far ahead of yourself, doc...Heh...I might have to give Casey a call sometime then...I hope Rusty will be ok...And we're going to the club soon so if you need anything, you can call anytime...We'll be out late..." Adrian said smiling.
"Heh...I know...You should call Casey...I hope you have a great night Adrian...Bye..." Grace said sweetly and she hung up.
A couple hours later at the butcher shop...
"It's finally closing time..." Ricky said smiling as he took his white apron off.
"Yeah...I'm going bowling with Kathy soon!" Ethan said excited.
"I hope you two have fun..." Ricky said nicely.
"We will! Is there something bothering you, Ricky?" Ethan said intrigued.
"No...I'm just tired...See you tomorrow, Ethan..." Ricky said kindly and Ethan left the butcher shop.
Ricky went upstairs to his apartment and he was surprised that Grace wasn't there.
"Grace? Where is she?" Ricky said concerned as he put his keys on the table and his phone rang.
"What?" Ricky said annoyed as he answered his phone.
"Sorry to bother you Ricky but...I wanted to let you know that Ben and I are going to be staying with Omar and Adrian for a week with John..." Amy said seriously.
"Why would you do that?" Ricky said concerned.
"She's going to help us to sleep together for the right reasons..." Amy said honestly.
"Adrian's going to help you? Is this a joke?" Ricky said sternly.
"Yes she is...I'm sure it will be fine...I hope..." Amy said sadly.
"Do you...still feel bad about what I said at the funeral?" Ricky said worried.
"A little but...hopefully clubbing tonight will help..." Amy said smiling.
"Are you serious? What happened to you? You used to never want to go out clubbing..." Ricky said seriously.
"Uh...That's because I was underage to go clubbing until last year and you hardly ever wanted to go out..." Amy said firmly.
"Yeah but do you really think clubbing is going to help you right now?" Ricky said honestly.
"Maybe...I don't have to answer to you anymore, Ricky...It's Friday night and I'm going to have a good time with Ben, Adrian, and Omar...I hope you have a good night..." Amy said sternly.
"I don't like how you're talking to me right now, Amy...Just don't do anything stupid...And what are you doing with John?" Ricky said annoyed.
"We're taking him to a friend's house...Bye..." Amy said seriously and she hung up.
Ricky rolled his eyes and he called Grace but her phone went straight to voice mail and he hung up.
"Ugh...I need a shower..." Ricky sighed as he put his phone on the kitchen table and he walked into the bathroom.
Meanwhile in New York...
"We're finally here! You two are going to love this place!" Adrian said excited as they walked inside the club.
"Um...Adrian...I don't know about this..." Ben said concerned.
"Just relax, Ben...This is part of you two's therapy." Adrian said smiling.
"What are you up to?" Omar said surprised.
"Watch and learn, Omar." Adrian said nicely as they walked onto the dance floor.
"Ok...So...How is this part of our therapy?" Amy said loudly over the music.
"Start grinding on Ben." Adrian said firmly.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Amy said shocked.
"Just do it!" Adrian said loudly as she started dancing with Omar.
"Uh...All right..." Amy said with a worried look on her face and then she started to swing her hips against Ben's pants.
"I don't understand the point of this..." Ben said confused.
"No, no no! You're doing it all wrong...Grind like this..." Adrian said sternly and she moved her back as close as she could to Omar and started grinding her hips slowly against his pants.
"Oh damn..." Omar said surprised as his eyes widened and he put his hands on Adrian's hips.
"What the hell are you doing?" Amy said stubbornly.
"All right...It's your turn Amy..." Adrian said seriously as she moved away from Omar.
"Ok...Here goes nothing..." Amy said honestly and she grinded against Ben like how Adrian did against Omar.
"Aaaah...Wow..." Ben said smiling and he put his hands on Amy's hips.
"There you go...Keep going..." Adrian said as she smirked.
"Where are you going with this?" Omar said seriously.
"This is going to help them warm up a little bit...But once they realize that they're in public, then they won't do it...It's part of learning self control..." Adrian said honestly.
"So...You're going to get them tempted to want to have sex with each other but then they're not going to do it just because they're in public? I don't get it..." Omar said confused.
"Listen Omar...If they can handle this and not sleep together after it, then it's a stepping stone...I'm trying to figure out where their boundaries are and what turns them on..." Adrian said firmly.
"Oh...I get it...I guess you're smarter than I thought...But don't you already know what turns Ben on?" Omar said nicely.
"Heh...Kind of...I didn't think he would try the chocolate syrup thing...Amy might be a little more difficult..." Adrian said smiling.
"Woah...Now they're really getting into it." Omar said surprised as Ben put one of his hands around Amy's stomach and he started kissing her after she leaned her head back.
"Ben! Amy! Hello?" Adrian said loudly as she walked over to them.
"Heh...Hey Adrian...That was fun..." Amy said smiling as she let go of Ben.
"Ok...So...How turned on are you two right now?" Adrian said awkwardly.
"Uh...Why?" Amy said concerned.
"It's part of the therapy...Just answer the question..." Adrian said sternly.
"I'm probably about a five out of ten..." Ben said honestly.
"Really?" Amy said annoyed as she looked at Ben.
"O...or maybe a six..." Ben said nervously.
"All right...Amy?" Adrian said intrigued.
"Ugh...A five I guess..." Amy said firmly as she crossed her arms.
"All right...Now I want you two to...slow dance...Since the song just switched to a slow one..." Adrian said nicely.
"I can handle that..." Ben said smiling as he put his hands on Amy's lower back.
"Me too..." Amy said smiling and she put her hands on Ben's neck.
"You both also have to kiss for the entire song..." Adrian said seriously.
"Oh...All right..." Ben said kindly and he leaned in close to Amy and slowly brushed his lips against hers.
"Aww! Aren't they so cute, Omie?" Adrian said happily.
"Heh...Yeah...So...I feel like I'm at a chick flick right now...Can we slow dance?" Omar said nicely.
"Of course...Make sure they don't stop kissing until the song is over..." Adrian said sweetly as she pulled Omar close to her and she put her hands on Omar's neck while he put his hands on her lower waist.
"All right...Heh...I didn't think this therapy would work but maybe it will..." Omar said smiling.
Meanwhile in California...
Grace walked into the apartment and she saw Ricky making a sandwich with a white towel wrapped around his waist.
"Ricky? Did you just get out of the shower?" Grace said intrigued as she walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah...I had a nice, long, relaxing one...If you know what I mean..." Ricky said as he smirked and turned around to face Grace.
"Heh...Yeah...I know what you mean...I actually got us some tacos if you want any..." Grace said sweetly as she stared at Ricky's chest.
"Grace? I'm up here...And I would love some tacos." Ricky said happily.
"I know...You're just so sexy..." Grace said smiling as they sat at the kitchen table.
"Thanks...So are you...Where have you been all night?" Ricky said kindly as he grabbed a taco.
"Oh...It was my pleasure...Heh...I've been at the hospital...Do you remember Cappie and Casey from the toga party?" Grace said sweetly and then concerned.
"Ha ha...Yeah I do...What happened?" Ricky said smiling and then worried.
"Well...Casey's brother got shot in the parking lot of the golf course and...I gave him CPR after calling 911 and I also used my leather jacket to apply pressure to his leg...Which is where he got shot...He made it through the surgery and he has to stay in the hospital for a couple days to recover." Grace said honestly.
"Oh wow...That's pretty crazy...I wonder who shot him...I'm proud of you for helping him..." Ricky said surprised and then nicely.
"I don't know...And it was no big deal really...I learned how to do that at med camp...I also saw Jack there..." Grace said concerned and then seriously.
"What was Jack doing there?" Ricky said sternly.
"Uh...He wanted to apologize for what he said at the gym...About you being the only person I care about...And...he hopes we can be friends..." Grace said honestly.
"Oh...That's good I guess...I just hope he isn't using this as an act to make a move on you again..." Ricky said a little irritated.
"I don't think he is...cause he said that he's ready to start a new chapter in his life whether it's with someone or not...He even went on a walk by himself at the golf course..." Grace said nicely.
"Well...I guess I'll just have to trust him...Jack is a pretty great guy..." Ricky said smiling.
"Yeah but...he's not as great as you...And...Adrian told me that you've been thinking about fixing him up with someone..." Grace said smiling.
"What? How does Adrian know that?" Ricky said surprised.
"Jack told her...Is that a problem?" Grace said suspiciously.
"No...Uh...I did tell Jack that I could possibly fix him up with someone..." Ricky said awkwardly.
"Really? Who is it?" Grace said intrigued.
"Haley..." Ricky said nicely.
"Haley...That blonde girl who was friends with...Peter and Griffin right? And...didn't you sleep with her?" Grace said seriously.
"Yes she was friends with Peter and Griffin...And...I slept with her once...A long time ago..." Ricky said honestly.
"Ok...I'm sure Jack would love her if she puts out..." Grace said a little irritated.
"Grace Bowman?! Are you really being that vulgar right now?" Ricky said in a sarcastic and surprised tone.
"Very funny Ricky...It's the truth...I really think that Jack is a sex addict...Whether he wants to admit it or not...Maybe him and Haley would be a perfect match..." Grace said sternly.
"Yeah...I don't know...If they do go out, whatever they do physically, is none of our business..." Ricky said seriously.
"Right...Just like it's none of Adrian's business what we did on the beach last night..." Grace said firmly and Ricky spit some of him taco onto his plate.
"Uh...Yeah...But...we only made out..." Ricky said surprised as he wiped his mouth.
"I'm kidding, Ricky...I know you told her that and it's fine...We talk about everything...Almost...It's going to be really hard for me to not tell her about when we...you know..." Grace said as she smiled slowly.
"I would rather you not tell her about it...I want our first time to...just be between us...It will make it more special..." Ricky said honestly as he grabbed Grace's hand from across the table.
"Oh...You are right...I will keep it just between us...I'm sure it will be...very special..." Grace said sweetly.
"Heh...Defiantly...So...Amy and Ben are going to live with Adrian and Omar for a week...I don't know how well that's going to work..." Ricky said smiling and then concerned as he let go of Grace's hand.
"Yeah I know...I'm glad that Adrian wants to help them but...I don't know if she'll be able to..." Grace said sadly as she grabbed her plate and walked over to the kitchen sink.
"I think she can...When Adrian's determined to do something, she'll do it..." Ricky said seriously as he walked over to the sink with his plate.
"Heh...That's true...Did you want to do something tonight?" Grace said smiling as she turned around and her hands on Ricky's neck.
"Mmm...Well...I was thinking we could play a game..." Ricky said as he smirked and licked his lips.
"What kind of game?" Grace said intrigued.
"Spin the bottle..." Ricky said happily.
"Ha ha...How old are we? In seventh grade?" Grace said sarcastically.
"How about stripped spin the bottle?" Ricky said seductively.
"Uh...Uh...I don't think so..." Grace said nervously.
"I'm joking...But we could play it some other time..." Ricky said nicely.
"Oh...We could...Heh...What game did you have in mind?" Grace said as she smirked.
"I was thinking we could make out on the roof under the stars..." Ricky said happily.
"Ok...Am I dreaming right now? You have read my mind." Grace said sweetly and she gave Ricky a long kiss.
"Mmm...I know that you love stars and I've never taken you on the roof of the butcher shop." Ricky said kindly.
"Yeah...I'm sure it's great...But...I think you should put some clothes on..." Grace said smiling.
"I know...It's kind of cold outside...Heh...I'll be right back." Ricky said nicely and he walked into their room and closed the door.
"Aaaah..." Grace sighed happily to herself as she closed her eyes for a few minutes and Ricky walked back into the kitchen.
"Let's go Grace." Ricky said kindly and he grabbed Grace's hand and they walked out of the apartment.
A few minutes later they were on the roof and they saw a lot of stars.
"Wow...This is amazing...There's not a private jet up here, is there?" Grace said surprised as she looked at the sky and then concerned.
"Yeah...It's not as nice as the view at Grant High but...It's pretty nice...And there isn't a private jet..." Ricky said happily.
"Heh...I think I can see the big dipper." Grace said smiling as she sat on the roof next to Ricky.
"Oh...I see it too...It's incredible how people used it to help them move around..." Ricky said smiling as he looked up at the sky.
"It sure is...Do you think those starts could be...our ancestors watching over us?" Grace said intrigued.
"I don't know Grace...They could be...I guess that's a question we'll have to ask God someday..." Ricky said seriously as he put his arm around her.
"Yeah...He sure is amazing...I still can't believe how far we've come..." Grace said sweetly.
"Me too...And we couldn't have done it without God...You know...I actually regret telling your parents that...I wish I could believe what they did years ago...When I told them about Bob..." Ricky said honestly.
"Why do you say that?" Grace said concerned as she looked at Ricky.
"I kind of wanted to believe that Jesus would take my pain away back then but...I was too stubborn and bitter to believe that He would because I was so angry about what Bob did to me...But...after getting back with you, I realized that Jesus does have the power to make me feel loved...And that...I do belong here with you...I don't have to live in the past anymore, Grace...Because Jesus has healed me." Ricky said sincerely.
"I'm happy to hear you say that, Ricky...I know that you went through a lot with Bob...and...I am truly thankful to God that...Jesus has healed you...And...He has helped me to realize that I belong here with you too...I love you." Grace said honestly.
"I love you too." Ricky said smiling and he gave Grace a long kiss.
Meanwhile in New York...
"All righty...So...We've done fast dancing, slow dancing...group dancing...What else is there?" Adrian said tiredly as she sat at a table.
"Uh...You tell us..." Ben said seriously.
"Yeah...You're the expert, Adrian..." Amy said firmly after taking a sip of her water.
"Um...How about we get to the bottom of this...Why don't you...ju...just let go of Ricky, Amy?" Adrian said concerned after taking a drink of her margarita.
"Oookay...I think Adrian's had a little too much to drink..." Omar said worried as he took Adrian's glass out of her hand.
"Wh...What? No I haven't...Ugh...Are you going to answer me, sweet...chops?" Adrian said in a tipsy tone as she looked at Omar and then Amy.
"What did you just call me?" Amy said a little irritated as she looked at Adrian.
"Uh...Don't worry about it Amy...I think we should probably talk about this tomorrow...I'm getting tired and it's almost two in the morning..." Ben said sternly.
"Me too...Let's go home...Come on Adrian..." Omar said concerned as he stood up with Adrian and he put one of his arms around Adrian's waist.
"Woo-hoo! I think Amy and Ben are getting better be...because they...didn't have sex...Ha ha ha!" Adrian said loudly as Omar helped her walk out of the club with Ben and Amy behind them.
"Oh, geeze...This is so embarrassing..." Ben said quietly as he shook his head.
"I knew she shouldn't have drank all those shots while we were dancing without them for a half an hour..." Amy said concerned as they got in Omar's car.
"It's all right guys...Adrian will be passed out soon...And then she'll be fine in the morning...She's not that drunk..." Omar said seriously as he turned on the car and drove on to the street.
"Mmm...Did you guys have fun? I had fun! It was so funny when both of you were grinding...Ba ha ha ha!" Adrian said happily and she laughed.
"Ha ha...Yeah...Thanks for the help, Adrian..." Amy said sarcastically.
"You are so welcome Amy! I love helping you two! So...Are you two...in...in the mood now?" Adrian said intrigued as she smiled.
"Defiantly not...Maybe...This did work..." Ben said surprised.
"Yeah...I guess...Adrian does know what she's doing...Even when she's a little tipsy...Ha ha..." Omar said smiling as he stopped at a stop light.
"I love you, Omar...I always know what I'm doing..." Adrian said sweetly and then she grabbed a paper bag on the floor and threw up in it.
"Eww...That's pretty gross...Wait...Why was Adrian drinking, if she's pregnant?" Amy said shocked.
"Oh...Crap...I totally forgot about the baby...Oh no, no, no..." Omar said in a panicked tone.
"It's ok guys...I didn't drink that much...The baby isn't...that...developed yet..." Adrian said seriously as she wiped her mouth with a napkin after taking it out from the glove compartment.
"Adrian! You're not supposed to drink any alcohol while you're pregnant...That could really hurt the baby." Amy said sternly.
"She's right...I hope the baby is ok..." Ben said concerned.
"No...What have I done?" Adrian said worried.
"Hang on...Maybe if Adrian can throw up everything she drank...then it won't hurt the baby..." Ben said honestly.
"Uh...And how can I do that?" Adrian said seriously.
"We should get a stomach pump...From the hospital..." Amy said firmly.
"All right...Off to the hospital we go..." Omar said sternly as he started to drive faster.
"Wait Omar...We don't have to drive to the hospital...I didn't drink any alcohol..." Adrian said seriously.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Adrian?" Omar said surprised as he pulled over to the side of the road.
"All the drinks I had were virgins. Do you really think I'm that dumb?" Adrian said sternly.
"What?! Then why did you throw up?"Amy said confused.
"Morning sickness...I guess...At least I helped distract you two from getting in the mood. Ha ha!" Adrian said smiling.
"This isn't funny...I thought you really hurt the baby..." Omar said firmly.
"Yeah...At least you're ok..." Ben said nicely.
"Oh come on...It's a little funny...You should have seen your faces...I got you guys good..." Adrian said happily.
"You have a dark sense of humor, Adrian...But...I guess you did get us good...I was beginning to wonder why your breath didn't smell like alcohol...Heh..." Omar said relieved as he smiled.
"Heh...You did get us good...Let's get going..." Amy said sweetly as she smiled.
The next day in California...
Jack was lifting weights with Jesse at the gym.
"So...Is Madison gonna go out with you?" Jack said intrigued as he lifted a weight.
"I don't think so...She's going out with Jason tonight and she's really excited about it...She might go out with me depending on how things go with Jason. But...I don't want to be her second choice..." Jesse said seriously.
"I don't blame you...It's not a good feeling to be someone's second choice...Whew...That was a heavy one..." Jack said a little out of breath as he put the weight on the metal things behind him.
"Yeah it was...I want to try it." Jesse said smiling and he laid down under the weight after Jack moved out of the way.
"I'll spot you." Jack said nicely as he got behind the weight.
"What about you? You're ready to move on?" Jesse said nicely as he started to lift the weight.
"Yeah man..I really am...It actually feels kind of good to be single...I don't have to call a girl or tell her what I'm doing." Jack said happily.
"True...You don't have to listen to her complain and gossip about stuff that isn't that big of a deal either...Heh...Not all girls are like that but it seems like a lot of them are..." Jesse said honestly as he lifted the weight again.
"Yeah...I just don't get why the physical stuff of a relationship is so fun but the rest of it is...hard..." Jack said concerned.
"Uh...The physical stuff is fun but...a relationship would be boring if that's all there was to it...And...I think they've been hard for you cause you've been with the wrong people." Jesse said seriously as he put the weight on the metal thing behind him with Jack's help.
"I guess you're right...Thanks Jesse...What is she doing here?" Jack said surprised as he saw Chloe doing sit ups.
"Isn't that...Chloe?" Jesse said confused.
"Yeah...I'll be back." Jack said as he wiped sweat off his face with his shirt and he walked over by Chloe.
"Whew...Jack? What are you doing here?" Chloe said concerned as she sat up and started to stretch her arms.
"I'm working out with Jesse...How are you?" Jack said kindly.
"Fun..I'm doing good...I'm with this guy named Brandon and he's really great." Chloe said sweetly.
"Oh...Good for you...I wasn't hitting on you..." Jack said awkwardly.
"Heh...Obviously...Let me guess...You still love Grace?" Chloe said honestly as she stood up.
"Um...No I don't...I'm finally over her..." Jack said honestly.
"Whatever you say Jack...But...you do look pretty hot when you're sweaty..." Chloe said as she smirked and she started to stretch her legs.
"Heh...So do you...Good luck with Brandon and I'll see ya later." Jack said nicely.
"Um...Do you want to do something later? Brandon is doing stuff with his family tonight." Chloe said nervously.
"Sure, Chloe...You can just text me...Enjoy your work out." Jack said smiling and he walked back over to Jesse on a bike.
"What just happened?" Jesse said intrigued as Jack got on a bike.
"I'm going to hang out with Chloe tonight...She has a boyfriend so..." Jack said seriously.
"Oh...I don't know about that...I hope she doesn't want to get back with you by cheating on her boyfriend." Jesse said concerned.
"I don't think Chloe would do that...I'm sure everything will be fine." Jack said calmly.
That's a wrap! What's going to happen when Chloe and Jack hang out? Will Madison pick Jason? Who shot Rusty? Will Adrian call Casey? What's going to happen next with Kathy and Ethan? Is Adrian helping Ben and Amy in the best way? At least she didn't drink alcohol but did she take the prank a little too far? Is Ricky going to set up Jack with Haley? Grace and Ricky keep getting closer too. Ricky's baptism is going to be in the next chapter! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
