Keeping It Together

|34| 1 Year Later - The end

A year later.

So far life hasn't been full of events anymore. Life was going great.

I had moved to England with Jessica after graduation which I never went to because I decided to skip it and go to an art museum.

Silly me right? But to be honest, I never really made any friends during my senior year. The only person I had was Jessica.

My girlfriend.

Jessica and I had been dating for 8 months now. We had brought our first apartment together and adopted a dog named Venus.

After months of convincing Blake to let me go and enjoy life. He finally agreed but the only downside was that my apartment was right next to Carter. Who also had decided to move out.

"How about the name Beth?" I suggest.

Jessica's sister was having a baby, so we're currently helping her pick names.

My partner shook her head. "Nope, she looks more like a Jessie," she says, as she looks at the ultrasound.

Carter rolls his eyes from the kitchen. "You just want her to have a similar name to yours. How about Rose?" He says.

Jessica picked up one of the clean clothes I just folded and threw it at Carter which he dodge.

"No, I don't, I just like the name Jessie," He chuckled.

"Jessica please stop throwing the clothes," I told her, as I got up to pick up the shirt she threw.

Jessica sent me an apologetic look before going back to her drawing board.

I went back to folding clothes. Not even a minute later, the sound of my doorbell made Jessica get up.

I shook my head, it was probably a delivery man. "How much stuff did she buy for an unborn baby?" My brother asked.

Shrugging my shoulders, I sighed. "I have no idea,"

I could hear voices, as they got closer to the living room.

"Look who showed up," Jessica says, making me turn my head.

My eyes went wide open, as I stared at my siblings who all stood far away from me. A bag in each of their hand.

"Aren't you going to give us a hug?" Blake says as he chuckles.

I stood up and ran over to them almost tripping. My legs wrap around Blakes's torso and his arms wrap around me, holding me tight.

I hadn't seen or heard from them in 4 months. Carter said they were busy dealing with some very important mafia busy which I didn't question because I knew Carter wouldn't have the answer to all my questions.

"Aww, I want hugs too," Jay says, as he wraps his arms around us.

They all did even Carter.

"Group picture!" My partner yells, causing us to break apart. I stood in between Blake and Rome. Roman was on Rome's right, while Carter, was in between Hayden and Jayden.

We all smiled, happily as Jessica took a few pictures.

"Come on Jessica get in," Blake says. I could tell she was surprised that he told her to join the picture.

She told him one second, a big smile as she ran into our room to get her tripod stand.

She quickly set it up before joining us, squeezing in right beside Blake.

"Say la familia," Jayden says.

"La Familia," and the camera clicks.

I look over at Carter who had a mischievous smile on his face. "You did this didn't you?" I question him, lightly punching his arm.
