The New Boy

Chapter nine

"Family dinner!" Jakes dad Chris, which I found out was his name, yells and Jake, Brady, Savannah, Carrie, and I, who are all sitting around the living room, look at him.

Chris did the same thing last night, which canceled our 'four month date'. For whatever reason Chris wants to sort of bond the two families together. To him, I'm apart of the family.

"Damn you're loud." Jake says and sits up. I sit up too and Gavin runs out.

"Anthony's asleep," Gavin says and looks at Chris.

"Well wake him up." Chris says back and Gavin nods, walking back into his room. Gemma walks out.

"You don't have to scream," Gemma says and sits next to me. Since they don't have a nine person table, we eat in the living room.

"I'm not that loud." Chris says and we all sarcastically laugh. Jake lightly wraps his arm around my shoulders.

"God you're beautiful." he says just loud enough for me to hear.

I don't know why, but every time he gives me a compliment, I still feel... I don't know. It's hard to explain it like a sudden rush comes over me that reminds me that I need him.

I smile and look up at him. I lean my head on him and put my arm around his waist. He leans his head on mine. I guess they have been talking but I haven't been listening.

"Pizza I guess?" Carrie asks and I nod along with everyone else. I take a deep breath and he looks at me.

"What?" he asks and I shake my head.

"Nothing," I say and Jake continues to rest his head on mine.

After we all eat, Jake and Chris drops me off at my house since they have to work.

I arrive at my house and lay down, plugging my phone in, I lay in bed for a while.

It talks a while, but eventually fall asleep without Jake, which is a lot harder that I thought.
