Chapter 18~ Teasing Is Worth It
Jamie's POV
"Dude, do you have food?" Christian asked. His hair fell into his blue eyes and he brushed it off.
"Christian! We've been here for not even 20 minutes and your asking for food. " I told him and ran my fingers through my hair. I'm still exhausted from school.
"Well.. Get me food and I'll stop annoying you. Sorry by the way." "Fine. Here," I grumbled and tossed a bag of Cheetos I had on my nightstand to his spot on my bedroom floor.
"Thanks, man," he said. I tutted and closed my eyes, trying to get a bit of energy.
After 20 minutes of laying down my phone vibrated. I groaned and sat up, snatched it off the bed. I unlocked it and saw a text from Alli.
From: Alli :D
Wanna come over with Chris! Maddie is here :)
I smirk and look at the boy with crumbs on his face who tossed the empty bag into my trash before licking his cheesy fingers.
Idiot.
He arched an eyebrow when he saw me before sitting next to me on my bed.
"Go wash your face, Chris." I grin.
"No, Jamie! I happen to like this look." He said.
"You also happen to be an idiot. Hurry because Alli is waiting.' I say and he pouts but still goes to clean his face.
To: Alli :D
I like your thinking! See you in 20. ;)
I chuckle and get up and grab my comb. I do my best to tame my disheveled hair and fix my black and blue striped V- neck.
Chris comes in with his hands in his pockets rapping to Drake to himself. I motion for him to follow me and run down the stairs.
"Bye, mom.. I'll be back soon, okay?" I promise her with a swift kiss on the cheek.
"You're taking good care of Christian right?"
Chris walked in whistling
"Course. I'm taking care of this child." I joke pointing at him.
"Bye mom." I say with a chuckle. Chris waves and we walk out the door.

Allison's POV
I giggled as the two girls bickered over Luke Hemmings being hotter than Harry Styles.
Did I just giggle? I've spent too much time with them.
"Luke is the future father of my babies, Maddie! He is hot enough to fu-"
"Well.. Have you seen Harry's tattoos? I'd get freaky with him in a heartbeat. He's way hotter than Luke." Madeline cut Meg off.
"I'm married to Luke!"
"Well.. Harry's mine because he's hotter!"
"No. He's not that hot."
I couldn't control my laughter when they both pouted and Meg tackled Maddie onto the bed.
We all burst into hysterical laughter.
"Can't.. Breathe.." Maddie gasped between laughs.
"He's still hotter!" she yelled when she caught her breath.
"Who, me?" A voice cut in. We all froze when Christian spoke.
Madeline's face reddened deeply. I bite back a laugh and Chris walked over to Maddie and put an arm around her shoulders.
"Don't worry, Madds. I know how hot I am," he smirked and we gaped at the nickname he gave her.
Jamie's eyes met mine and I winked.
"Aww! Maddie is blushing. How cute? Her face is as red as a tomato!" Jamie teased.
"Say another word and I'll grab those scissors and cut off your balls. Then I'll put them in a jar and show it to everyone like a trophy!" she seethed. Christian let go of her and Jamie looked to me. Megan caught on.
"MADDIE AND CHRISTIAN SITTING IN A TREE. K-I-S-S-I-N-G FIRST COMES LOVE. THEN, COMES MARRIAGE." The three of us scream-sang.
"Shut up!" They yelled in unison.
"Then, comes Alli with the baby carriage!" Meg screams and Christian glared at her.
"So, Allison?" Chris said, flopping on my small bed. Megan and Madeline both flipped onto their stomach. Jamie stared at me, leaning against the wall looking hotter than ever.
"Yes?" I blushed from attention.
"You and J, huh?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
What is this with Jamie?
"Uh.. Um...." I sputter.
"He never shuts his trap about you and how hot you are, Allison."
My jaw slacks and I clench it.
"I-I'm going to the b-bathroom." I stutter before sprinting out my bedroom door and into the hall. I go into the bathroom and slam the door. I press my back against it.
After I catch my breath a soft knock sounds at the door.
What if it's Jamie?
Or worse, my dad?
"Who is it?" My shaky voice asked.
"Your bestest friend in the world!"
"Come in, Meg" I say and back away from the door.
"I know, Alli," she said when she saw my lip quiver.
"I know that you don't want guys to see you as hot. You want them to see you for the beautiful girl you are, not just in the sexual way. But talk to him, Alli."
"I can't right n-now, Meg."
And with that she pulled me into a hug as she cooed to me and rubbed my back. This is familiar.
*Flashback*
"Where's your mom and dad?" Meg asked when she sat on my couch. I shook my head and worried dad would come home.
"My mom died when I was 11. My father eventually beat her so bad it caused internal bleeding. She s-stayed in the hospital for awhile before she was in a c-coma for a month. They pronounced h-her brain d-dead and unplugged the m-machines in f-front of me. My dad convinced them s-she fell down the stairs." I explained to my best friend. I was sobbing. This was the most I've ever spoken about her. Megan pulled me into a hug.
"It's okay, Alli." She said as she rubbed my back.
*Flashback over*
It was true. I have never liked the word hot because it makes me feel like guys only care about a girl's body. Beautiful is a better word. I wiped my eyes with some toilet paper and hiccup.
"Come on, Alli." Megan said when I caught my breath.
I followed her back to my room.
"You okay, Alli?" Jamie's voice says and I ignore him, not daring to look at him.
"Alli?" He says again.
"She's ignoring you, mate." Christian tells him.
Maddie hugs me when I sit by her and I feel Jamie's gaze on me while she changes the subject to her dogs and I allow her voice to distract me.
Distract me from everything.
