Chapter 28– Waking Up **1 hour later**(Jacquie’s POV)

“Jacquie” someone calls.
“mmmmmmm” I say.
“You gonna get off me I gotta call Andrew see where he is” the voice says.
I get up and rub my eyes, Shit. I was lying on Jared.
“Oh my god. sorry I was lying on you,” I say.
“You fell asleep like 10 minutes ago and then you fell on me and then you yelled out 'sorry Gerard' and then I’m like does she mean Jared” he says.
“Oh sorry, Gerard’s a friend of mine,” I say nervously.
“Didn’t you say something about him last year or something?” Jared asks.
“No…. pfft where’d you get that from” I say trying to cover up.
“I dunno I just remember that name,” he says.
“You were gonna call Andrew” I say.
“Oh yeah be right back” he says and walks off.

“So how about you explain Gerard to me” Someone says.
I turn and see Tahlia.
“Oh just a friend” I say.
“Actually I remember that name too,” she says walking over to me.
“It’s a common name,” I say.
“Sure Jacquie, Tell me” She says.
“He is just a friend,” I say.
“Fine, when you wanna talk I’m here” she says sitting next to me.
I nod.

Jared walks in.
“He will be here as soon as his sis finds something,” he says
“Finds what?” I ask.
“I dunno he was like oh I will be there soon my sis is trying to find … something” he says.
“Ooo” Tahlia says.
Jared shrugs and sits down.
“So” I say.
“So what?” Jared asks.
“I dunno trying to make conversation” I say.
“Oh” he replies “Well umm.. hows your umm.. mum?”
“She’s good” I reply “Yours?”
“Alright” he replies
An evil smile appears on his face.
“Before I left we were talking about … Gerard” he says smirking.
“HE IS A FRIEND” I yell.
“Geez get emotional on me” He says joking.
“Yeah you know it” I joke back.
“Well anyways serious what’s up with him?” he asks.
“GOD drop it he is just a friend” I say getting kinda angry.
“Well you wouldn’t just says his name during your sleep for nothing” he says.
“It is probably just a random dream okay, drop it,” I say
He gives me a look. A look I know way too well, The ‘yeah whatever’ look.
“Gah I HATE YOU” I yell.
“Aww and I love you” he jokes.
“You know I was kidding I love you soooo much” I joke.
“Hell yeah I know you wanna dump Andrew and marry me and have … a gazillion kids with me” he says joking (of course).
“Okay you crossed the line,” I say.
“What line I see no line?” he jokes.
“Dumbass its right there” I say pointing to him.
“Where?” he asks now seriously not knowing what I was talking about.
I get up and walk over to him and stop.
“What?” he asks looking at me.
“It’s right there,” I say again pointing to him.
He looks at his shirt “where?”.
I flick his nose.
“Oh ha ha very original” he says rubbing his nose.
I sit next to him.
“Yep” I say.

There’s a knock at the door.
“Come in if you're sexy” Jared yells out.
Andrew comes in.
“Damn sexy” he says with a laugh.
Mel walks in.
“Me? Sexy? I don’t think I’m welcome here” she jokes.
“Yeah get the hell out,” Jared says.
Mel covers her eyes and pretends to cry, She laughs and then sits down, Andrew stands next to her.
The room goes silent.
I look at Andrew.
He looks at me and shrugs.
“As much fun as it is to sit in a room with your sister, her friend, your best mate and his girlfriend in silence I think we should do something” Jared says.
“Like what?” Tahlia asks.
Jared shrugs
“All I know is that Andrew and Jacquie want a room together by themselves” He says with a wink.
Mel and Tahlia crack up laughing.
“Oh totally” I say, “You can join us”
Jared laughs “Sure”.
“Don’t I have a say?” Andrew asks jokingly.
“Nope” I say and start laughing.
“There will be none of that” Jared’s mum says entering to room.
Everyone stops laughing.
I look at Jared. He has a shocked look and his face.
Had she been listening to us the whole time?
Did she know it was a joke?
I hope she did.
“Mum they were only joking” Tahlia says.
“Sure” Her mum says sarcastically.
“Serious we were” I say.
She focuses her gaze on me.
“And I’m supposed to believe that” She says but smiles.
“MUM stop it” Jared says with a laugh.
“He he got ya” She says.
She did this quite often but still we fell for it.
“You guys are so easy” she says leaving the room.
We all laugh.
“We so have to get her back one day” Jared says.
“Yeah” Andrew says.
We all stop laughing.
“I SWEAR IF IT GOES SILENT AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU ALL” Jared yells.
“What is with you and silence?” I ask.
“I just don’t like silence it’s so…. Quiet” He replies.
“Nah duh” Andrew and I say at the same time.
We laugh a little.
Jared turns the TV on.
He flicks through heaps of channels.
“How many channels do you need?” I ask.
“I dunno” He replies.
“Rhetorical question” I say.
“I like to answer all questions” He says.
“Okay then, why is it that when I bring up the question did you have it with Kristen you shut up?” I ask knowing he will probably shut up.
“Well we didn’t anyways, I just don’t like her being brought up,” He says.
“Oh okay” I say.
The room goes silent again.
“I WARNED YOU GUYS” Jared says getting up and pretends to choke Andrew.
“Don’t go crazy on us” I say jokingly.
Jared drops to the floor and acts as if he was having a fit.
Tahlia and Mel look at each other then us.
“You guys suck” Mel says.
“Except Jacquie” Tahlia adds.
“Umm thanks,” I say.
Jared stops and shakes his head.
“You don’t like guys cause you two are…” He says.
“Don’t say it” Andrew says.
“Lesbians” Jared finishes.
“Oh you're in for it” Andrew says.
“Jarey” Tahlia says with an evil smile.
Jared goes a little red in the face.
“Don’t say it,” he yells.
“Jarey baby” She says with her smile getting more evil.
“Don’t please I’ll take it back?” Jared begs.
“Why shouldn’t I?” Tahlia says.
“Cause… um… you’re my favourite sister?” he says.
“Wrong” Tahlia says.
“Umm cause your not lesbian” he says.
“True but not what I’m looking for” she says her smile still getting more evil.
Jared sighs.
“Cause I will give you the $50 I owe you” he says.
“Plus” she says.
“Another $10” he sighs.
“$20” she says when her smile finally reaches its maximum evilness.
“WHAT?” Jared says.
“Jarey baby I want to say I’m…” she says.
“FINE” Jared practically yells.
“Okay” she says.
Mel looks at her as if to say what is it.
I nudge Jared with my elbow.
“Just don’t worry about it okay” He says storming off into his room and slamming to door.
“What the hell?” I ask anyone willing to answer.
“Sorry he has paid me not to tell anyone” Tahlia says directing Mel to her room.
I look at Andrew and he returns the gaze and shrugs.

I walk to Jareds door and knock.
No answer.
“Man and I thought when girls get pms it was bad” I say.
Andrew laughs a little.
I knock again.
No answer again.
I turn the doorknob.
It opens.
He is sitting on his bed reading a comic book.
“Now Mr Comic what’s up?” I ask walking over to him and sitting on the edge of his bed.
Andrew walks in and stands next to me.
Jared pays no attention to us.
I roll my eyes and steal his comic.
“Hey” he says.
“What’s up?” I ask.
He makes an attempt to grab the comic but it fails.
“I’ll burn it” I say.
“And I’ll…” he says breaking his silence but stops.
“You’ll what?” I ask.
“Aww just leave me alone” He says.
“Come on tell me” I beg him.
He knew I hated it when people kept things from me.
“I’ll tell Andrew but I don’t wanna say it to you” Jared says “no offence”.
“Does that mean Andrew can tell me?” I ask.
“I guess” he says.
I nod and give him his comic back and walk out the room and close the door.
I try to listen into to what they were saying but they were talking so quiet until…
“WHAT???” Andrew yells.
“Shhhhh” Jared says loudly.
I move away from the door as I hear footsteps getting closer.
Andrew opens the door and pulls out his phone.

He sits on the couch and dials a number.
“Dude don’t worry about it” Jared says walking out after him.
“Hello Miss WHORE” Andrew says.
“Fuck” Jared says under his breath.
“What?” I ask.
“YOUR SUCH A MOLE, LEAVE JARED ALONE OKAY” Andrews yells into the phone.
Theres some silence and then Jared yells “YEAH YEAH BITCH YOU TOTALLY MEAN THAT DON’T YA” and hangs up.
“OKAY SOMEONE EXPLAIN” I yell.
“Kristen that slut, prank called Jared” Andrew replies.
“She does that to everyone” I say.
“But she was pretending to like Jared and asked him out and he said yes for some crazy retarded reason, and then she’s like eww who would go out with you, and then he realised other people were listening” Andrew says.
“Oh” I say.
“Exactly” Andrew moans.
“I thought you hated her?” I ask.
“I did but then I dunno I just thought you know why not” Jared says.
“Cause she’s a whore” Andrew replies.
“I get it” Jared says sitting next to him.
“She’s so … YUCK” Andrew says.
“All you can think of is yuck?” Jared asks.
“Eww, Disgusting, Vomit worthy the list goes on Jared” Andrew says.
“GEEZ I GET IT” He says.
“Good cause if I hear you do that again…” Andrew says.
“You’ll gut me like a fish” Jared says.
“No I will…” Andrews says but it cut off by Jared.
“I don’t wanna know” he says.
“Okay” Andrew replies.
“So” I say sitting down on the ground in front of them.
“You know you can sit on a seat,” Jared says.
“Yeah I know” I say.
“Then why don’t you?” he asks.
“Cause I don’t wanna” I say.
Jared rolls his eyes.
“You know one day when you go to roll your eyes the wind will change and they will be stuck like that” I say.
“Awesome” he says rolling his eyes again.
“Stop it” I say.
“Never” he says doing it again.
I punch him in the leg.
“Oww” he says rubbing his leg and then rolling his eyes.
“Andy stop him” I say in a whiney voice.
“But its fun” Andrew says rolling his eyes.
“Gah” I say getting up and sitting on him.
“What the hell?” He asks.
“The ground wasn’t comfortable” I say.
“Okay” he says.
“My eyes hurt now” Jared says.
“Told ya” I say.
“No you said they would get stuck like that” He says.
“Same difference” I say.
“Nah” Jared says.
“Yeah” I say.
“Nah” He says again.
“Yeah” I reply.
“Shut up” Andrew says.
“What?” Jared asks.
“The whole yeah and nah thing its annoying” Andrew replies.
“Geez someone’s a grumpy goat” Jared says smiling.
“What the Fuck?” Andrew says.
“What Grumpy Goat?” Jared says.
I hold in my giggles.
“I’m not a Grumpy Goat” Andrew says.
“Yeah you are” Jared says.
“Nah, Oh crap you made me do it” Andrew says.
Jared laughs a little.
Andrew gets up holding me and puts me back down.
“I’m gonna go home now” He says.
“Why? Don’t leave me here they will kill me” Jared says.
“Well I gotta do my assignment that was due like on Friday and I have to give it in on Monday and well today’s Saturday so I only have today well tonight to finish it” Andrew replies.
“Okay as long as Jacquie stays to save me from my sis and yours” Jared replies.
“Fine but I’m going home at 8 cause I wanna send a friend an email” I say.
“Okay glad that’s settled bye” Andrew says running out the door.
“That’s so not like him” Mel says walking with Tahlia to Tahlia’s bedroom.
“What do you mean?” I ask but they are all ready in the room and the door is closed.
Jared shrugs.
“So what you wanna do?” He asks.
“Die” I say jokingly.
“Or talk about Ger…” he says.
“SHUT UP” I yell.
“Sorry couldn’t resist” he says with a smile.
“Aren’t you funny” I say sarcastically.
“Hell yeah” he says.
“Rhetorical question Stupid” I say.
“Calm down Jacquie” he says.
“Fine” I say.
I close my eyes and count to ten, I open eyes again.
“Man that never works” I say.
“Yeah that’s why I close my eyes and think of something awesome” he replies.
“Sure” I say and close my eyes.
“Or Gerard” he says under his breath.
“OH GOD SHUT UP” I yell.
