My Other Half

Chapter 1: Burnt Pancakes & Introductions

(Ali's POV)

I woke up to the sound of my sister laughing. I groggily got up and stumbled down the stairs into the living room. "Amy whats going on? Im trying to sleep" i whined to my little sister.
Before she could answer a certain brown eyed boy wearing vans and a beanie walked out of the kitchen.

"Oh Morning Ali, sorry did we wake you? " Jc asked with his special smile. I just sighed and sat on the couch. Jc did this often, come into my house with his own special key, but not usually on the weekend.

"Whats going on wheres Mom and Dad?" I asked rubbing my eyes. "They called my parents saying that they got a call about a short notice buisness trip" Jc replied cautiously.

I grumbled in response. Of course my parents would do this, leave out of the blue without any notice. "Did they leave a note or anything?" I asked feeling annoyed.

"They just said to my Mom that your Grandma would be taking care of Amy for the week while they're gone and to have her ready by 2:00pm and the whole being responsible speech which ill save you from hearing".

I got up and gave Jc a hug as a thanks and walked into the kitchen where there was burnt pancakes on a pan and mess everywhere. I turned around with a smirk on my face as i looked at Jc. "Did u try to cook breakfast again?" I giggled.

He walked over and sat on the bench. "Yeah, i knew you would be in a bad mood with the whole parents thing and i though that if i made you breakfast, it might make you feel a bit better" Jc sighed.

Its moments like these that remind me of how he is the best friend ever. I give him a warm tight hug and say "Thanks Jc, I still appreciate the fact that you tried". I give him a kiss on the cheek which made him blush.

Ever since we were little we've always been close and given each other hugs and kisses on the forehead or cheek. He's basically what i like to call my other half. I don't know what i would do without him and i don't plan on finding out anytime soon.

(Jc's POV)

I watch her as she attempts to clean my mess. She has her beautiful long brown bed hair tied in a loose bun while she's wearing her pj shorts and a T-shirt thats far too big for her. She always seems to look perfect. At least in my eyes.

While I'm watching her my phone buzzes in my pocket with a text.

Kian: Hey Bro where r u?
Jc: Im over at Ali's why?
Kian: Andrea, Jenn, Connor, Ricky and I are about to go to starbucks for breakfast. Thought you guys might wanna come?

I look over at Ali who's still trying to clean up.
Jc: We'll be there in 10

I jump off the counter and grab Ali's hands. She looks at me with a confused look. "Forget about the mess, were going out for breakfast with the gang" I say excitedly.

Her stomach growls with a yes making her blush. "That sounds great but what about Amy?". She asks. "My Mom can watch her. Shell be fine and she can play with Jaylen and Joe-Felix" I assure her. She quickly smiles. "Alright let me get changed" she says running up the stairs.

(Ali POV)

I run up the stairs excited about seeing my friends. Im usually pretty busy with school and watching my little sister. I go and change into high wasted purple shorts, a grey tank top with the yin and yang sign on it with some black vans. I quickly race into the bathroom and put on some light mascara, a bit of foundation and a nude eyeshadow.

I quickly race down the stairs but miss two steps making me fall, i wait for the pain from falling but arms quickly wrap around my waist stopping me.

I look up to see Jc holding me with a smirk on his face. "I knew you were excited but i didn't expect you to fall head over heels" he cheekily said. "Haha" i reply sarcastically while trying to squirm out of his grip. "Wait hold on Ali were gonna..." but before he could finish we both fall over. I land with my back on the ground and Jc on top of me using his arms to stop him self from squishing me.

We look into each others eyes with a lips centimetres apart. But before i could help myself i start laughing. Jc looks at me like I'm a loon but soon starts to laugh too, he rolls over and lays beside me still laughing.

After a minute or so Amy came skipping into the living room singing dora the explorer. "What are you doing?" she asked. Jc and i quickly stood up and brushed ourselves down. "We were just laying down. anyways we better get going" Jc said changing the subject. "Oh yeah, are we driving or skating" i ask hoping he'll say skating.

I love penny boarding but i dont have as much time anymore especially since im in senior year while Jc graduated last year. "We can skate if you want" he answers knowing that i'd rather skate down. I smile at him and quickly race up to my room and grab my purple penny board. "Ok lets go". I say.
