Breaking The Rules (sequel to Rule #6)

Chapter 27

Jo's pov

Today me and Mercy are officially adults. We aren't old enough to buy booze yet but hey it's the little things that count. Like we can get into clubs that are 18 plus which are awesome. We decided on a low key party this year telling our parents our plan for afterward. Hero had gotten us V.I.P seats at Ultra. We promised our parents we would be responsible. I didn't want to get busted anyway we were old enough to go to the real jail now so fuck all that. We just have to pregame it that's all.

I'm excited and nervous about tonight I have this gut feeling this is the night Hero is going to propose to me. I don't know why I'm so damn nervous I mean this is Hero the man I've loved since I even knew what love was. "Did Hero say anything to Felix about asking me to marry him?" I ask Mercy while she curls my hair. "What? No" she shrieks in my ear almost burning my damn neck off with the hot iron. "Hey watch it" I scold her playfully smacking her arm away. "Seriously he didn't tell you anything" I ask her again with my eyebrows raised in the air in curiosity. "I swear sis pinky promise" she says linking her pinky finger with mines as we both kiss the end of our hand sealing the deal.

"So you really think he's going to ask you tonight" Mercy says as she adds some hair spray in my hair. "I don't know I just have this feeling something big is going to happen tonight" I tell her shrugging nonchalantly not wanting to get my hopes up in case I'm dead ass wrong. I know Hero is going to be my husband one day. I know we are young and have plenty of time but all I can picture is him and me together forever and I don't want to waste another second without everyone else knowing he's mine. "Something big is happening we are fucking eighteen bitch. But I really can't wait for the wedding then you'll officially be my sister even though you already are to me" she adds on making me smile as she wraps her arms around me from behind. "I love you Merc" I tell her fondly as she smiles into the mirror the both of us are facing. "Love you more" she says giving me a kiss on my cheek. Thank God we used the smudge free lipstick or else I'd have big red lips printed onto the side of my face.

"Girls let's go your guest are arriving" George yells from downstairs. "Let's do this" Mercy says excitedly putting her arm through mines. We are both wearing matching black mini skirts that attach to the matching top and black stiletto heels. My mouth suddenly gets as dry as the dessert when my eyes land on Hero who looks sexy as fuck with his hair slicked back dressed in a black button up shirt and some denim jeans with his signature white Nikes as he stands waiting at the bottom of the stairs for me with Felix by his side in a similar outfit. I hear our parents entertaining our friends outside. Usually this whole house would be packed with people by now. But this year we chose to only invite the ones who are closest to us. So Elle, Noah, Lee, Rachel, Chloe, Clay, Inanna, Matt, Pia, Sam and Morgz are the only ones here. I really wanted to invite Jeremy and Owen too but that would of meant inviting Luke and I wanted to avoid that at all costs.

"Come here beautiful Happy birthday" Hero says smiling as he pulls me in for a kiss. "Thank you" I say smiling up at him as he smiles back down at me lovingly. "Hey what about me jerk" Mercy says punching him on his shoulder making me laugh as he scowls at her rubbing his arm as he says annoyingly "yeah, yeah Happy birthday to you too sis."

"Don't upset my birthday twin this is our night" I warn him as he chuckles nodding his head knowingly. "Happy birthday" everyone shouts as we walk outside I smile as I see all our friends around the table that has all kinds of delicious food spread through out. The little lights hanging in the air across the back yard make it look so beautiful. I also notice a small microphone stand and wonder if Sam will be singing for us tonight. Or if I'll get a repeat of last year and Hero will sing me the song he wrote again. He's no Harry Styles but his looks make up for his lack of vocal skills. Plus he doesn't sound that bad. Not like some people who sing and your ears want to bleed just to make it stop.
