And then came the new kid..

Chapter 11

"So where do you live Jay?" Zach asks.

That's right. I'm in Zach McGoverns car! For the second time, which is surprising because I didn't want to be in here. I'll admit this is better than being a third wheel in Allen's car. The back seater is always out of the front seat adventures. Zach is playing some Artic Monkeys which I love! So it isn't that bad.

"I live on 207 Cherry street." I say quietly.

"Miss jaylynn living in a nice development like that? Should've known. Bonnie lives around there too, not that it matters. This drive is all about you."

I blush, and look out the window. I can tell Zach is smiling at me, but I'm not giving him acknowledgment.

"So Jay, what's your family like?"

Great, is this small talk? Has the world really come to this? Just answer the question Jay..

"My parents were in love. Like something out of a fairy tale. They had my brother Ryan very very young, but they didn't give up. They actually provided great things for him. Not too long after Maria was born. My older sister. Then they popped me out. The thing was, they never loved any one of us any less. I remember our parents would tell the best stories of them falling in love in different ways.."

"Jay," Zach laughs,"I'm still here. Continue your story please, we are almost at your house."

"Oh right. Forgot where I was for a second," I laugh too,"So yeah they were great. Then they popped out the twins. They were unexpected, but still were loved like the rest of us. Then my parents adopted 2 kids from bad homes. My mom loves doing things like that. After them she had the triplets 2 years later. That's when she died during birth. She was very ill, but didn't tell any of us. So we treat the triplets like glass. They're the most recent thing we have of her."

I was so into the story, I didn't even realize the car stopped and I was crying. I will mention, this is the 300th time Zach has seen me cry. Talk about embarrassing!

"Jay, please stop crying. Seeing you cry makes my heart breaks. Your mom seemed like a real gem. Just like you."

I blush and fiddle with my fingers, "thank you for driving me home Zach."

"Anytime pretty lady. Give me your number."

Talk about straight to the point. I am pretty comfortable with Zach now, he is kind of my friend. What the heck! He's not bad at all, he's a sweetheart at times. I give him my number and get out the car.

He rolls out down the window of his 'stang, "I'll call you later! Goodbye Jaylynn!"

"Thanks again Zach!"

I don't go inside until I see his car zoom down the street. He sure took his time while driving me home. I didn't get any of that fast action. Whatever, maybe next time. I walk into my house to see Maria smiling at me by the stairs. Not even questioning it, I ignore her and walk to the triplets room.

"JAYLYNN! WHO DROVE YOU HOME?" Maria screams following me upstairs.

I walk into the triplets room and see little Dominic up and jumping. He is so cute. His face lights up when he sees me and claps his hands. Dominic looks just like my father, but in a cute baby version. He has my moms eyes though. I pick him up and start humming "here comes the sun."

"Brother and sister bonding cute. You put him to sleep with your humming. Usually takes me forever.." Maria says sneaking up behind me.

"Jeez! Wake up the whole world if you want to!" I whisper scream. That's a thing don't question whisper-screaming!

"Sorry sorry Jay. Who was the guy that drive you home today?"

"How do you know it was a guy, it could be one of my gal pals on the swim team."

"Mierda! You are lying. We both know swimming hasn't even started and you don't hang out with them like that. So who was the boy hmm?"

"You're not my mom I don't need to tell you anything!" I kiss Dominic on the head and out him down so he can sleep like the rest of the squad. I leave the room quietly with Maria right behind. Man, she won't leave me alone!

"JAYLYNN DOT MORST! Who drove you home? And why did he! You better tell me before I tell papa."

"GOD DAMN MARIA! Zach McGovern drove me home! He did because he didn't want me to feel alone with Allen and Libby! So please don't mettle in my life, get your own! It was a one time thing gosh!"

Maria giggles. Did my words not hurt her at all?

"OOH! The rich boy?"

Dinner is just going to be much worst.
