Fragile Minded

Chapter Two

"I'm sorry." I whispered, a tear rolling down my face. "For everything."

"You have nothing to apologize for." He kissed my head, making me smile.

With that, we just sat there, staring at the fire while waiting on the other guys to come back with the ice cream. It seemed like forever when they finally pulled up into the driveway.

"Finally!" I yelled as they were walking towards us.

"Yeah, yeah. Here, here." Christian said as he handed me my ice cream.

"Thank youuuuu. I love youuuuu." I sang as I took my first bite.

"Can I have a bite?" Hunter asked from behind me.

"Uhm no. You should've asked for your own."

"Pleaseeeeeee." I turned around to see puppy dog eyes looking back at me.

"You're such an asshole." I grunted, handing him my ice cream.

"You love me." He said after taking a bite.

"If that's what you want to think. Hey! One bite was all I agreed to!" I complained as he continued eating my ice cream.

"That's for saying you don't love me." He finally gave it back.

After another hour of hanging out and playing a few games, I decided to text my mom since I'll probably be staying here tonight.

To: mom
Hey mom I'm spending the night with Jade tonight, talk to you later

Of course she didn't respond. Why would she?

Considering we've been out here for a few hours, we all decided to start heading inside. Once we stepped into the living room I had the most brilliant idea.

"I know what we're doing tonight." I said, skipping towards the couch and throwing the cushions on the floor.

I looked up to see everyone watching me with confused expressions. "We're gonna build a fort." I threw my hands up in the air in an exaggerated way to show my excitement, causing my friends to chuckle.

After I finished throwing all the cushions and pillows in sight on the ground, I began giving out orders.

"Okay, Christian. Go upstairs and all around the house and get as many pillows or cushions as you can. Logan, same job except for instead of pillows, go get a bunch of blankets. Jade go into the kitchen and get a lot of snacks and soda and such. And Hunter help me move the couches and chairs. Let's move people." I clapped my hands as everyone dispersed.

Once everyone met up back in the living room we had about 15 pillows/cushions, 6 big comforters, two couches and four chairs lined up, and popcorn, chips, coke, and some chocolate chip cookies.

"Alright so here's my plan. I think we should keep the couches alined, and put two chairs on each side in front of the couches facing each other." I explain as I put the chairs into place. "Now give me the biggest blanket in the pile." Christian then tossed me a big thick blue one and I threw it across the couches and chairs, making the roof. We then all threw all the pillows underneath, along with the blankets, making a very comfortable looking place to lay. After that, I took another blanket and hung it over the front, to close the small space but then folded it over the top to keep it open until we want it closed. Then I pulled the coffee table up to the entrance of the fort and put two bowls full of popped popcorn, a box of coke cans, three bags of chips, and a plate of chocolate chip cookies on top.

"Tada!!" I said as I stepped back, smiling at my masterpiece. "Who's the best fort maker? C'mon, who is it?" I laughed as we all piled into the mass or coziness.

"Okay, so what movie are we gonna watch now?" Hunter asked the group.

"I vote a scary movie!" I said with an evil grin.

"No. Oh hell no." Jade shook her head.

"Why not?" I groaned.

"Because the last time you made me watch a scary movie, I couldn't sleep for a week because you kept telling me you saw someone outside my window." She crossed her arms as I laughed.

"Oh c'mon you have to admit that was a little funny. And besides, I promise that we will all protect you from your imaginary serial killers that live outside your window." I vowed.

"Fine, but don't expect me to watch it." She finally agreed as she laid down.

I decided to turn on The Conjuring just because I wanted to see Jade squirm during this movie.

By the time it was over, Jade had fallen asleep, not wanting to be tormented by the movie any longer and the rest of us decided to just turn on Friends and just chill out the rest of the night. I wounded up drifting off about 15 minutes after laying down, only to be startled awake by a strong arm wrapped around my waist.

"Shh, go back to sleep Jo, it's okay." I heard Hunter whisper as he snuggled up to me and I smiled to myself before closing my eyes and going to sleep once again.

****

I wake up to a smell in my nose that makes my mouth water. My eyes jolt open as soon as I recognize the scent. "Bacon." I whisper as I jump up and run to the kitchen singing,"Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon!!!!!!"

"Told that would get her up." Hunter laughed from the stove. Of course I'm the last one awake.

"Thank you thank you thank you I love you soooo much!" I scream as I hug him and begin stealing bacon off the big plate.

"Can't you at least wait until I'm done?"

"Nope." I say with my mouth full. I get my own plate and take about half of what he already made. "I don't know what you guys plan on eating but this is all mine."

We all continue to eat as we sit down at the table and discuss what we should do today.

"Do y'all want to go walk around some stores or something?" I throw out an idea.

"Nah. How about we go bowling?" Logan suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Hunter said.

"Same here." Christian agreed.

"Alright, so bowling it is then." Jade confirmed. Jade and I then made our way upstairs to clean the rest of our make up off our faces. I thanked her for thinking ahead and bringing her makeup bag as I applied my usual eyeliner and mascara. We both brushed our teeth and made our way downstairs. Christian was dressed in new clothes and seemed ready to go.

"I guess we'll have to make a few stops so we can all get a change in clothes, huh?" Logan assumed once we were back in the living room.

"Yeah I guess so." I said and we all made our way outside, Hunter and me getting in his car and everyone else in Logan's car. We decided to just all meet up at the bowling alley.

Hunter drove to my house first, letting me run upstairs to change quickly while he waited in the living room. I picked out a black sleeping with sirens t shirt with white letters, black skinny jeans, and my converse. I went into my bathroom to brush my teeth and my hair once again before going back down.

"Okay I'm ready." I said to Hunter, letting him know we can go to his house now. When we got there, he let me come up to his room while he went into the bathroom, I assumed to brush his teeth like I did. When he came back into his room, he had on a clean pair black skinny jeans that matched mine, with no shirt on as I was laying across his bed. I watched him browse through his closet, I guessed looking for a shirt to wear, finally deciding on a plain maroon t shirt. He slipped on his converse as well and we made our way back out to his car.
