Chapter 27– I don’t wanna see another movie **a year later** (Jacquie’s POV)

“Another movie?” I ask.
“Yeah this one has a zombie that tries to kill Micheal Jackson” Andrew says.
“No more, serious, all we do is watch movies” I say.
“Fine a romantic one?” he asks
“NO MOVIES, plus you know I don’t like romantic movies” I say.
“Just teasing” he says.
“How about shopping?” I ask.
He glares at me.
“Come on please I need to get a present for your sisters birthday” I say.
“Fine” he says.

A lot has changed since last year. About 5 months after Gerard and I broke up, Andrew asked me out. I said yes and we are still going out. Jared had broken up with Kristen about 4 months ago cause he found her cheating on him with her ex boyfriend. But really, Jared only caught them cheating because he was going around to her house to break up with her anyway, Jared was still single but he didn’t care. Melissa and Tahlia and I are very good friends. Gerard and I are still very good friends but I don’t call him everyday like I useb to, But we do e-mail each other a fair bit.
Mikey had learnt to play bass quite well. Frankie was totally wicked at guitar as usual. And Matt had been learning drums, Paula was still with Matt but lately their relationship had been on the rocks. When I found out about Ray and Lucy I wanted to kill her, I can’t believe she would do something like that. But Ray had gotten over it, which was good, and now he was learning guitar.
By the sound of things he was pretty good at it. But I had stopped talking about Gerard and everybody from New Jersey to my friends at school, I didn’t think they really cared anyway, and if a question came up I would try to avoid it.

We walk to the Mall.
“So how is your sister anyway?” I ask.
“Oh she’s good” he says.
We walk into a shop.
I immediately set my eyes on some nice black boots.
“Oh how about these” I say.
“Aren’t they a bit… too grown up for her” he says.
“I meant for me” I say.
“Oh, I thought we were shopping for my sis” He replies.
“Oh sorry, right shopping for your sis” I say.
We look around the shop but ther's nothing she would really like,
We walk into another.
“How about this” he says showing me something.
It’s a black necklace with a big pink heart hanging off it.
“You don’t know your sister very well do you?” I say.
“Well I’m not a girl” he says.
“Unless” I say.
He laughs.
“So you are?” I ask jokingly.
“Hell yeah” he says joking.
A necklace catches my eye.
It’s a silver necklace with a spider charm coming off it.
“This is perfect for your sis” I say to Andrew.
“Yeah that awesome” he replies.
I pick it up and take it to the counter and buy it.
“She is so gonna love this” I say.
“Yeah” he says.
“So what you wanna do now?” I ask.
“How about that movie?” he asks with a smirk.
“Gah” I say and hit him.
We both start laughing.
“Hey” Jared says walking up to us.
“Hey Jared” I say.
“Hi” Andrew says.
“What you guys doing?” Jared asks.
Andrew smirks.
“Don’t say it” I say.
“Say what?” Jared asks.
“Watching a movie” Andrews says still with a smirk.
“NO MORE MOVIES” I say.
“What’s up with movies?” Jared asks.
“Do you know how many we have seen this past week?” I ask.
“No, how many?” Jared asks.
“Like 25 or something” I say.
“Whoa” he says.
“Come on this one has a zom…” he says and realizes I’m glaring at him
“Fine”
“So what are we gonna do OTHER than going to see a movie?” I ask.
“I dunno” Andrew says.
“How about we check on your sisters?” I ask.
“Yeah they are at my place” Jared says “That’s why I’m here”
“We have to take my sisters present home first and hide it” Andrew says.
“Okay” I say.

We walk out of the Mall and to Andrews, We walk inside
Andrew takes the present and goes into his room and hides it.

He comes back and we walk to Jared’s.
We go inside.
“Yo Tahlia where are you?” Jared yells out.
“In my room” She yells back.
“Mel there with ya?” he yells.
“Yeah” she yells back.
“Well are you gonna come greet me and Andrew and Jac…” he says.
“Jacquie’s here” she yells coming out with Mel.
“Hey” I say to them.
“Hey” they reply.
“So what are you doing?” I ask.
“Art” Tahlia says.
“Cool” I say, “can I see?”
“Sure” Tahlia says.
We walk into her room and she shows me some drawings she has done.
“These are good” I say.
“Thanks” Tahlia replies.
We walk out the room.
“You have come just in time we are about to watch a movie” Mel says.
Andrew smirks at me.
“Man” I say.
We all sit down except me.
“Sit” Jared orders me.
“Wish I could” I say “no room”
“Sit on my lap” Andrew says.
I sit on his lap.
“Comfortable?” he asks.
“Totally” I say.


After movie…
“Well that was cool” I say.
“Hell yeah” Mel and Tahlia say at the same time.
“You two freak me out sometimes you know that” I say
They laugh and get up and go into Tahlia’s room.
“You coming?” Tahlia asks.
I look at Andrew, He is asleep and so is Jared.
I get off Andrew and try to make sure I don’t wake him.
I walk into Tahlia’s room.
“So what are you doing now?” I ask.
“Meh Reading” Mel says reading.
“Talking” Tahlia says.
“Sitting” They both say.
“Okay” I reply and sit next to Tahlia on her bed.
We sit for a couple of minutes in silence.
“So” I say trying to break it.
“What?” Mel asks looking up from her book.
“I dunno” I say.
An evil smile appears across Mel’s face, She looks up at Tahlia, Tahlia then realizes Mel is looking at her.
“What the fuck is up with you?” She asks.
“Oh this is gonna be fun” Mel says getting up and putting her book down.
She walks out of the room.
Tahlia and I look at each other and shrug and get up and walk out the room too.

Mel is in front of Andrew.
She looks at him and her evil smile gets bigger.
She turns around and walks as far as she can get from Andrew.
She then runs at him and jumps on him.
“OH FUCK” Andrew yells when Mel crashes on him.
Mel gets off him and then falls to the ground in a fit of laughter.
Tahlia starts cracking up and is holding her sides.
I hold back my laughter.
I look at Jared who just tosses over.
“No more ladies” he says sleeply.
This cracks Andrew and I up.
Finally Jared wakes up to the sound of laughter.
“What the fuck are you laughing at?” he asks.
“No more ladies” Andrew impersonates and laughs.
“What?” Jared asks.
“You were sleep talking” I say.
“Damn” he says rather embarrassed.
“Don’t worry you haven’t heard what Andrew says” Mel reassures him.
“Like?” Jared asks.
“Well once he said yeah suck tha…” she says but Andrew covers her mouth.
Jared is laughing his head off. I hold in my laughter.
Mel bites him and he lets go.
“OW” Andrew yells.
Mel laughs.
“I oughta” he says.
“big mother fu….” Mel says but Andrew grabs her in a headlock.
Mel starts gasping for air, One thing Mel hated was having the feeling of being choked or anything around her neck.
“STOP” she managed to yell out.
“Fuck let her go” I say and pull her from his grip.
Mel sits down rubbing her throat.
“You know she hates that” I say to him.
“Well she was gonna say … stuff” He says.
“Still” I say.
“Take her side why don’t ya” he says.
“I’m not taking sides, but hurting your sister because of her saying things is silly” I say.
“Whatever” he says.
Mel kicks him straight under his…. Stomach (You know what I mean lol).
“Fu…Chicken” he yells.
“Chicken?” I ask.
“shut up” he says falling onto a seat holding himself.
“That wasn’t very nice Mel” I say.
“Getting him back” She says with a smirk.
Mel and Tahlia high five each other.
I shake my head.
“Umm I need to go get some stuff from home Ands so yeah see ya in a bit” Mel says about to walk out the door.
Andrew jumps up.
“Wait up mum will kill me if I let you walk by yourself home” Andrew says running up to her and walking by her side.
“It’s weird those two can have huge arguments over anything and be friends again just like that” Jared says.
“Not like us, we have fights and not talk to each other for weeks” Tahlia says with a laugh.
“Remember that one that went on for like a 3 months and I broke it by asking you what it was about and then we realized we forgot” Jared says laughing.
“Yeah that was funny I still can’t remember what that was” Tahlia says with a laugh.
“Aww brotherly and sisterly love” I say.
We all laugh and watch TV.
