chapter 6- realization

i woke up to harry poking me and i jumped up causing the rest of my family to wake up.

"gosh h whyd you poke my face" i said rubbing my eyes.

"to wake you up idiot" he said and ollie laughed. i ruffled ollies hair and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. i set it down in the counter and hopped onto the counter to drink it.

"what time is it" i asked harry.

"12:30" he said.

"oh ok" i said.

"why weren't you at school?" he asked.

"mom and dad said ollie and i didn't have to go today" i said and took a sip of my water.

"oh okay, jen is mad that i came here for lunch instead of going with her" he said sitting next to me on the counter.

"glad my daughter is your first priority" my dad said walking in.

"always has been" he said and my cheeks lit up. shit why am i blushing?

"well what do you want to eat?" i asked.

"what we always have here" he said and we both looked at eachother.

"i'll get the cake" i said.

"i'll get the forks" he said and i laughed and hopped off the counter.

"you really are just like mae and i" dad said and i stared him down.

"before we fell in love i mean" he said and i calmed down.

"well good mom always talks about how good your guys friendship was, well and her and emma's" harry said and i laughed.

"i want cake" ollie said walking in so i got him another piece and harry got him a fork. we all sat on the counter and started eating it.

"why on the counter?" dad asked.

"cause why not" harry and i said in unison. then mom and arizona walked in.

"hey A" i said.

"hey why weren't you at school" she asked and took harry's fork taking a bite of his cake.

"hey that's mine!" he said taking the fork back and i laughed.

"didn't have to go today" i said.

"oh alright well i don't wanna go back the rest of the day" she said and hopped on the counter next to ollie.

"great party at our house" mom said and we all laughed.

"i'm not goin back either dont wanna face the rath of jen" harry said.

"might be worse if you don't go back" i said

"that's true" he said and sighed.

"go back harry you still have a shot at good grades i think riv gave up" dad said.

"you're not wrong" i said and we all laughed.

"be nice sodapop" mom said hitting his arm and we all just laughed again when dally and ponyboy walked in.

"yay my favorite uncles" i said hopping off the counter.

"heard that" darry two-bit johnny sawyer and steve said walking in behind them.

"oopsie" i said after i hugged ponyboy. i went over and hugged darry and johnny. i saw sawyer steve and dally almost everyday so they didn't need hugs. i walked back over and hopped back on the counter.

"so whats everyone over here for?" i asked.

"dads day off" darry said and i laughed.

"you should've had those when you were basically soda and pony's father" steve said and we all laughed.

"come on soda let's go" dally said impatiently.

"alright i'm coming let me change fast" he said and the nodded.

"now it's a party at our house" i said to arizona and harry.

"riv i need you to watch ollie i have to go into the shop" mom said.

"fine" i said sighing.

"hey i'm not that bad" ollie said.

"hey sawyer what if we went and got willow out of school for the rest of the day so she can hangout with ollie" i asked sawyer.

"that's fine with me" he said and ollie and i smiled.

"woohoo" ollie said and i laughed. dad came down and kissed ollie and i's heads.

"behave" he said.

"like that'll happen with her in charge" ollie said pointing to me.

"shut your trap oliver james" i said and hit the back of the head.

"don't hit your brother" my dad said hitting the back of my head.

"don't hit your daughter" mom said hitting the back of dads head.

"don't hit your husband" dally said hitting moms head and we all started laughing.

"arizona you should be at school" steve said.

"i don't wanna" she said and steve laughed.

"you are just like me why is that" steve asked.

"harry you should be too" sawyer said.

"so they can pick up willow but i gotta go back?" he said.

"fine but don't tell mom" he said.

"too late" rachel said and sawyer turned around.

"uh oh" he said and we all laughed.

"it's fine just go to tomorrow harry, let's go mae" rachel said and the grown ups all left.

"let's go pick up willow and we can go find something to do" i said and they all nodded. we went and got willow from her school and drove to the park. willow and ollie were on the playground so harry arizona and i went on the swings.

"so jen?" arizona asked harry.

"yeah" he said.

"unfortunately" i said.

"why don't you like her she is so nice" harry said.

"don't say because jason cheated on me with her because that isn't her fault and even i like her" arizona said and i sighed.

"i don't know alright" i said looking at the ground. maybe i do like him.

"is it because she's a soc?" harry asked.

"no you know i could care less if she's a soc" i said.

"then what is it?" arizona asked.

"i don't know" i said again and willow called for harry so he got up and walked over there.

"admit it riv come on" arizona said whispering.

"maybe i might slightly sorta maybe kinda like him a tiny bit" i said finally admitting it.... kind of.

"knew it" she said.

"i just admitted it myself so don't go feelin special" i said and she laughed. after awhile we went to dingoes. after we ate the sun started setting and we started to head back home. i was driving but a blue mustang stopped right in front of us.
