It was the day we were going back home.
It was about 2:00 pm so we would get home around 5 or 6.
"You ready?" I asked Joey.
"Ya I'll take your bags!" He said.
"Nope." I said blocking him from grabbing it.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because I don't want to walk in the lobby and everyone there think I'm a spoiled brat that gets her way." I said.
Sometimes being the b girl was hard.
"Ugh Fine." He said walking away.
"Thank you!" I said pulling my suitcase into the living room.
"I'm ready!" I yelled.
"Perfect! Let's head down!" Grayson said.
We all headed down to the lobby and loaded our stuff in the car.
I sat all the way in the back this time.
Joey day in front of me and Ashton by him.
Jonah day in He front seat and Grayson was driving.
When we were almost home, I wanted to stop at the Gas station.
Joey and Ashton got out with me.
I grabbed we went up to the counter and put our stuff down.
"That was $20 but since your beautiful that will be $15." The Cashier said.
He was tall and had Black curly hair with green eyes.
He was hot basically.
"Oh thank you. Your eyes are beautiful. I could stare in them forever." I said smiling looking at him.
Woah.
Just woah. He was my Prince Charming.
"I'll pay." Ashton said walking up to the counter.
"Nope back off." I said pushing him still staring in the cashiers eyes.
I gave him the money and I took the bags.
"Till we meet again." He said.
"Can I get your number?" He asked.
"Sure!" I gave him my number.
"Whats your name?" He asked.
"Brooklyn." I said.
"Right when I thought you couldn't get more beautiful you did." He said.
I turned red.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Jesse." He said.
"Woah." I said out loud.
"I didn't mean to say that out loud." I said.
"It's okay it was cute." He chuckled.
"We really must be going." Joey said looking at me mad.
"Bye Jesse!" I said.
"Bye beautiful." He said.
I got in the car and I sighed.
"What wrong with her!" Grayson asked.
"I just met the guy of my dreams." I said looking at the sky with a big smile on my face.
"Guy of your dreams? No m'am!" Ashton said.
"Excuse me?" I asked paying attention.
"I don't like him." He said.
"So?" I said back with an attitude.
"I just get bad vibes." Joey said.
"Well I had bad vibes about Brielle and you didn't care. Therefore I don't care what you think." I said laying back.
"Oop." Jonah said.
"What's his name?" Grayson asked.
"Jesse." I said.
"Sounds hot." Jonah said.
"He is! His eyes are so beautiful. I could play with his hair all day. His voice could put me to sleep." I said.
"Slow down there." Joey said.
"You didn't slow down when you made out with Townes." I said.
"When are you gonna talk to her?" Ashton asked.
"She's actually coming over tomorrow!"He said.
"Tomorrow?" I asked.
"Is there a problem? I live there too." Joey said.
"No problem at all." I said.
I was watching The conjuring on Netflix. It's my favorite horror movie.
I got a text from Ashton.
Ash🥳💛
Ash🥳💛: NO M'AM YOU WILL NOT FALL FOR JESSE!!!
Me: why not? It's kinda too late 😂😂
Ash🥳💛: because you like Joey 0.0001% DUH!!!!!
Me: exactly. Barely like him. Why would he care? He has Townes!!
Ash🥳💛: UUGGGHHH WHATEVER 🙄🙄
Me: ☺️
"Ahhhh!" Ashton yelled out of no where.
"So dramatic." I said rolling my eyes.
"Dramatic? No! Not dramatic!" He said.
"It's not gonna happen Ash!" I said.
"Oh it will. I know it will. And when it does, your gonna regret denying it." He said.
"You already lost the first bet. Ready to lose the next one?" I asked making him heated.
"I'm not gonna lose! You are!" He said putting his hand out for me to shake.
I shook his hand and I had a smirk on my face.
"What just happened?" Joey asked.
"NOTHING!" Me and Ashton yelled.
"You guys have been acting really weird together." Grayson said smiling.
"It's nothing important." I said.
"Oh it's important, just private." Ashton said.
"What is it? Your dick is small? We all know that" Joey said.
They all started laughing.
"Well I didn't, but you learn something new everyday!" I said.
"No it is not that!" Ashton yelled.
"It's just nothing you guysc could know about." I said.
"Until it happens." Ashton added.
"Which is not gonna happen!" I said.
"Whatever, you guys are weird." Joey said.
"Oh shoot it's Townes!" He said picking up his phone.
"Hey Townes!" He said.
"BRIELLE!" Jonah yelled.
"OH PLEASE COME BACK TO ME JOEY I MISS YOU!" Ashton added.
"I PROMISE I WONT GET JEALOUS OVER BROOKLYN!" Grayson said.
"I DONT WANT YOUR MANS DICK!" I yelled.
"GUYS SHUT UP!!" Joey yelled back.
We all laughed.
"Sorry my friends are being jerks." He said to Townes.
"It's cute." I heard her say.
"Ha! Cute! Such a bad liar." Ashton said.
"I know right." I whispered.
"What was that Brooke?" Joey asked.
"Nothing!" I said.
"Who's Brooke?" I heard Townes asked over the phone.
"Ooo she don't know who Brooke is." Grayson said.
"I don't even wanna be apart of This anymore." Jonah Said.
"He doesn't have to tell every girl he goes out with who I am." I said.
"True! TELL HER NOT TO WORRY ABOUT WHO BROOKE IS!" Ashton yelled.
"She's my best friend." He said.
"Oh. Cool." She said.
"Oop." I said.
Joey just laughed.
"Alright I gotta go Townes! Bye!" He said.
He hung up and it was silent.
"She hates Brooke." Ashton said.
"Mhm." Grayson said.
"He said it not me!" Jonah said putting his hands up in surrender.
"No she doesn't." Joey said.
"Oh she does." I said butting in.
"What makes you think that." He asked looking back at me.
"Umm I don't know probably cause when you brought me up her voice calmed down." I said.
"It went from HI JOEY to oh." Ashton said.
"I totally agree!" I said.
"She's gonna love you!" He said.
"Sure She is." I said.
"We're home!" Jonah said.
"Ugh, Finally." I said.
We got out and Joey took my stuff inside.
"Thank you love! I'm too tired to do that." I said.
"No problem." He said smiling.
I ran to my bed and layed down.
It felt so good to be back in my bed.
Jonah came in and layed with me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Laying with you. Duh." He said.
"Sorry but me and my bed will like some alone time." I said pushing him off.
"You're no fun." He mumbled.
"Love you too!" I said.
He walked out and Joey came in.
"Me and my bed would like Alone time!" I said.
"Then I'll lay on the floor." He said laying on the floor.
"Fine by me!" I said.
"So I was thinking of y'all could wear something nice for Townes. I wanna make an impression." Joey said.
"Says the one who wore a N.W.A shirt when he met her." I chuckled.
"It doesn't even have to be that fancy!" He said.
"Alright Fine. Now let me sleep." I said.
We both fell asleep in a snap
The next Morning I woke up Joey was passed out on me.
I slapped him to wake up.
"Ouch What was that?" He asked rubbing the left side of his face that I slapped.
"So much for laying on He floor." I said playing with his hair.
"It got uncomfortable." He mumbled.
"Well we have to get ready for Townes!" I said.
"Oh shoot your right! I got to shower!" He said getting up.
I laughed as I saw him run to the bathroom.
"Oop." Jonah said passing by.
"You let him sleep in here but not me?" He said.
"He was supposed to stay on the floor." I said.
"Whatever." He said.
" get ready! Joey said we have to dress decent for Townes." I said.
"Can't wait to see this drama go down." Jonah said rubbing his hands together.
"I can't hate another one of his girl friends!" I said shoving my face in my pillow.
I got out of bed and showered.
I decided to wear something classy.
I helped all the boys pick out outfits except for Joey since they didn't know what to wear.
Ashton's outfit
Grayson's outfit
Joeys outfit
Jonah's outfit
"Momma did good." Grayson said looking in the mirror.
"Thanks!" I said smiling.
"No I meant my mom did good creating a hot human being." He said making me frown.
"Kidding." He said giving me a hug.
"Watch out for my hair, I just straightened it!" I giggled.
"Do I look good?" Joey asked walking in.
"Not bad." I said.
"You look gorgeous love." He said kissing my forehead.
"Why thank you!" I said bowing.
We hear the doorbell ring.
"Damn that's her!" Joey said jumping up.
"All of you go downstairs and form a line now!" He said.
All the boys went downstairs.
"It's okay Joey, calm down." I said fixing his chain.
"I really hope she likes me and you." He said.
"Why me?" I asked.
"I can't date her if she doesn't like you." He said.
"Thanks." I said blushing.
I went Downstairs in the line the boys were in and Joey opened the door.
"Townes!" He said giving her a hug.
She was drop dead gorgeous. Prettier than me. And I'm drop dead gorgeous.
Am I jealous? NO I CANT BE!
"Hi Joey!" She said with a big smile on her face showing her perfect white teeth.
"Let me introduce you." He said walking her towards us.
"That one in the blue pants is Ashton. Grayson is in the yellow pants. Jonah is in all black, and that's Brooklyn, the only girl." He said pointing to us.
"Nice to meet you all! You guys dressed really well!" She said.
"I dressed them." Joey said.
"No you didn't." Ashton said.
"Liar." Grayson said.
"Brooklyn did." Jonah said.
"I did pretty good too. You would've looked better if you let me dress you but you didn't." I said shrugging my shoulders.
He just stood there with a fake smile on his face.
We all laughed.
"I'll get you guys food." I said.
"I'll help!" Ashton said.
"What are you two always up to now?" Jonah asked.
"I'm getting really curious now." Grayson said.
"Oop." Joey said which caused Townes to laugh. Even her laugh was perfect.
"It's nothing!" I said.
"It's something." Ashton said.
"Something not meant to be shared." I said.
"But it will be one day." Ashton said smirking.
"You guys are so annoying sometimes." I said pushing Ashton to the kitchen.
"Love you too!" I heard Jonah yell.
"She's gorgeous." Ashton said when we got in the kitchen.
"Ya I know!" I said crossing my arms.
"Is someone jealous?" He asked with that evil smirk.
"No! I am not! I have Jesse!" I said.
"Oh right I forgot about him." Ashton said.
"Help me get this food, it's what we're supposed to be doing." I said grabbing the lasagna.
"Oh right." He said grabbing the silverware.
We walked into the dining room and I saw Townes sitting in MY spot. Not HER spot, MY spot.
I kept cool because obviously she didn't know.
"Who wants some?" I asked.
I handed each one of them a plate and sat down by Grayson.
"Sorry Townes but that's Brooke's spot." Jonah said.
"Oh not that's fine." I said smiling at her.
"No it's not! You always got mad at Brielle for sitting there!" Jonah said.
"Well she's not Brielle, is she Jonah?" I asked giving him the death stare.
"Oohhh no she's not!" He said realizing what he just did.
"Do you want me to move Brooke?" She asked me.
"Oh no, really it's fine." I said.
"So Townes tell us more about you!" Grayson said.
"Well my name is Townes Miller." She said.
"Townes reminds me of that song from Harry styles Carolina!" Ashton said.
"Well actually that was me!" She said.
"Wait- Harry styles wrote a song about you!? Like the Harry styles!? The hair goddess!? The hottest man alive!?" I asked her.
"Yup." She said simply.
"Why are you so calm about it? I'm a guy and I'm freaking out!" Jonah said.
"I just didn't really like the fame." She said looking down.
"That's ok." Joey said rubbing her back and looking at Jonah with a death stare.
"Ya know something tells me I'm gonna get beat up or yelled at tonight." Jonah said.
"No. Freaking. Kidding." I said.
"Jonah just shut up already." Grayson said.
"Fine, waste of my breath anyways." He said.
We sat there and talked and ate when I got a phone call.
The phone read Melissa.
"Oo let me talk to her!" Grayson said reaching for my phone.
"She would've called you if she wanted to talk to you." I said pulling the phone away from him.
"Hi Melissa!" I said answering the phone.
"Oop." Ashton said looking at Joey.
"Crap." Joey said.
"Is there something wrong?" Townes asked him.
"Ha! This sucks for you man." Jonah said laughing.
(The conversation in bold)
( The thoughts or people in background in regular print.)
Melissa: Hi sweetie! Is Joey around?
I sat there for a second and thought about what to say.
Me: Joey?No I think he's in his room, why?
I looked at Joey and he looked relieved that I said that.
Melissa: I miss you guys so much! How was the trip?
Me: the trip was awesome!
Melissa: that's great! Well don't tell Joey this but..
Me: I'm not supposed to tell Joey?
Joey looked at me wanting me to tell him.
Melissa: dont. I'm coming over right now!
Me: wow! Joey will be thrilled!
I said in a fake excited voice.
Joey looked at me confused.
I looked at him with a big fake smile on my face.
Melissa: you think he will?
Me: yes! He will for sure! It'll be a big surprise.
Melissa: oh I love my Joel!
Me: yup. Joel Harp. That's your son!
Melissa: are you alright sweetie? Are you pregnant?
Me: noo! I'm not pregnant!
Everyone looked at me weird.
Melissa: Alright I'll see you in 5 minutes!
Me: Alright! See you!
I hung up and my jaw dropped.
"Oh no." I said.
"What!?" Joey asked.
"Ooohhh nooo." I said.
"Brooklyn What is it?" Joey asked.
"Yo, your life just sucks man." I said bursting out in laughter.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Yo gray, come here." I said pulling in his ear to whisper to him.
"Melissa is gonna be here in less than 5 minutes and Joey doesn't know." I attempted to say without laughing.
Me and Grayson started to crack up.
I started punching his arm and he started slapping my thigh.
"Oh I'm sorry I can't. TELL ASHTON!" I said wiping my tears.
Grayson told Ashton and he started cracking up.
Ashton told Jonah and we all were dying of laughter.
"Can I Please join this game of telephone!?" Joey asked getting mad.
"Who's telling him?" Ashton said.
All of them pointed at me.
"Why me?" I asked.
"He likes you more than us." Ashton said.
"You guys literally talk to each other more than half of the day." Grayson said.
"And his mom loves you!" Jonah said.
"You do have a point." I said looking down.
"Alright Joey." I said getting myself ready to tell him.
"What?" He said.
"You know I love you, but I will forever laugh at you for this." I said.
"What is it!?" He asked.
"Your mom is gonna be here in like a minute. She's probably driving down the block right about now." I said.
"No she's not." He said.
"Oh she is." I said.
Right when I said that we heard a car lock.
"What are we gonna do now Joel?" I asked.
"Distract her!" He said.
"Why me?" I asked.
"She's in love with you!" He said.
"True." I said.
"Go! Go! Go! Tell her I'm sick!" He said pushing me toward the door.
I opened the door and shut it.
"Hi Melissa!" I said hugging her.
"You look gorgeous! Where's Joey?" She said.
"Oh he's actually really sick." I said.
"Sick!? My poor baby she said walking through the door.
"Oh no it's fine I could take care of him!" I said following her inside the house.
She went into the dining room and saw them all there. I stood behind her laughing my butt off.
"Alright I'm sorry Love, but did you really think that you were gonna tell your mom your sick and expect her to drive off?" I asked Joey.
"Yo that's the stupidest thing he's ever thought of." Jonah said.
We all bursted our laughing.
"Mom!"Joey said hugging her.
"You don't look sick." She said hugging him.
"Ya Well Brooklyn gave me her medicine and I got all better, isn't that right Brooke?" He said pulling me in for a hug.
"Ya sorry I can't lie to your mom anymore." I said.
"Please?" He whispered.
"Nope." I said pulling away.
"Melissa do you want a plate?" I asked her.
"No that's fine. Who's this beautiful young lady?" She asked looking at Townes.
"Mom this is Townes." Joey said.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Harp!" Townes said shaking her hand.
"Oh please call me Melissa." She said.
I couldn't help but get a little jealous.
I was the only girl Melissa ever liked and I was scared she was liking Townes.
"Did I mention you boys look fantastic!" She said looking at the boys.
"Brooklyn dressed us of course!" Grayson said.
"She did fabulous at it." Melissa said kissing my forehead.
I blushed a little knowing that she still liked me more than Townes.
"Even though Ashton looks like M.C hammer we still love him." Jonah said.
"Oh you think that's funny?" Ashton asked throwing a piece of lasagna at him.
"Shut up Jonah you look like Emo 101!" Grayson said joining in.
Jonah threw a piece of lasagna at Grayson.
They all started throwing food across the room.
Stop fighting!" Melissa yelled.
"It's alright I got this. I've dealt with them too many times." I told Melissa.
"Ashton Michael, Grayson Taylor, and Jonah Knight stop this instant!" I yelled.
The whole room got silent.
"Who cooked this dinner?" I asked.
"You." They said.
"You bought you those outfits?" I asked.
"You." They said.
"Who bought his $2,000 white rug?" I asked.
"You." They said.
"And Who's date did you ruin?" I asked.
"Joeys." They said.
"Exactly. Don't ever disrespect anything else in this house that you didn't pay for or that isn't yours, understand me?" I said.
They all nodded.
"Now apologize to Townes, Joey, and Melissa for acting like 5 year olds.
"Sorry we acted immature and ruined tonight." They said.
"Now go upstairs, take off those clothes, Jonah you put them to wash, Grayson you clean the table, Ashton you clean the rug." I said.
They all got up and went upstairs to change.
"You really know how to run these boys!" Melissa said laughing.
"Oh you have no idea." Joey said.
"Do you ever yell at Joey?" Townes asked.
"Not as much. Melissa raised him so well the only time I yell at him is when touches my stove." I said.
"Our stove." Melissa said.
"I only try to help you ." Joey said.
"Your outfit is beautiful by the way Brooklyn." Townes said.
"Thank you!" I said.
"So you like her?" Joey asked Townes
"Of course! She seems so chill." Townes said.
"Good because I would NOT date you if you hated Brooklyn. She's my other half." He said.
I smiled at him and Melissa gave me a hug.
"She's the daughter I never had." She said.
"And your my other Mom when I need you." I said hugging her back.
"Can I get your number?" Townes asked me.
"Sure." We exchanged numbers and Joey took her outside to talk.
"She's two faced." Melissa said when they walked out.
"You think so?" I asked.
"She's flawless, that's how you can tell." She said.
"Let's find out then." I said.
Joey came back in and Melissa left.
"Tonight was something." He said plopping on the couch.
"Tell me about it." I said plopping next to him.
"I'm really glad she likes you." He said looking at me.
"I am too." I said giving him a kiss on his cheek.
"I'm gonna go check on the boys and hopefully they have some sense in them now." I said getting up.
"Good luck." Joey laughed.
I walked upstairs to Grayson room first.
"Sorry for acting like a fool and getting myself involved." He said leaning on me.
"It's okay, we all make mistakes. Just don't let it happen again." I said.
"I won't, I promise." He said.
"Goodnight." I said kissing his forehead and leaving his room.
"Hi Ash!" I said walking in.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"All I wanted to hear. Goodnight." I said kissing his forehead and leaving.
"Jonah?" I asked walking in his room.
He was already passed out.
"Of course." I whispered to myself.
I walked in to Joeys room, changed into his clothes and fell asleep on his bed.
"So that's how it is?" He asked.
"Go to sleep in my room, I want to be alone." I mumbled.
"Alright, Goodnight Princess." He said kissing my forehead and leaving.
