Adopted By the Griers'

Chapter 21

Bree's p.o.v.

It's 10:39 on June 30th. Mom and dad have been doing a lot of work for the school and the government about me and everything that happened. Since I missed my birthday and I don't want to celebrate on my fake birthday.. Mom and dad are letting Hayes and me throw a 4th of July birthday party. We still have a lot to plan. And we are going to take our driving test at 1:30 today.

Taylor's p.o.v.

It's finally June 30th and my arm is all healed so at 1:00 I'm going to the doctors and get my cast off. Just one more month with my broken leg and I'm all done. Now that my arm is healed I'm out of the wheel chair and on crutches. At least it'll be easier to move around and I actually get to do more things with my friends.

Jack G's p.o.v.

It's June 30th. Bree and Hayes are having a 4th of July party on Saturday and they are taking their driving test today. I can't help plan for much since I have digi San Diego on Thursday. Im supposed to take them to the DMV at 1:30 and they are using my car. I'm on my way to their house right now, I know it's a long way from 1:30 but Bree is wanting to practice one more time.

I get to her house and she comes running to the car, she looks beautiful as always.

"Hey" I say smiling and getting out the car.

"Hi" she says and gave me a hug. She gets in the drivers seat as I got in the passenger seat. We just sat there for a while.

"Remember what to do?" I asked.

"Yeah. I think. I'm just nervous for the test." She told me.

"Babe don't be nervous. You can't be nervous for the test, you'll get distracted." I said.

"Were you nervous for your test?" She asked me.

"A little. But I just thought about the person who I love the most." I said.

"Jack you didn't even know me when you got your license." She says.

"Who said I was talking about you?" I asked.

"So you loved someone more than me before?" She asked me.

"Yeah, I still do." She looked at like she was angry. "I'm talking about my mom."

We both started laughing. "See, just think of something happy. Something that will make you feel better." I told her.

"Okay." She said and kissed my cheek. Bree started up the car.

"You're forgetting something." I said.

"Oh yeah my seatbelt." She said putting her seatbelt on.

"You can't forget it on the test. It's the first thing you do when you get in the car." I say.

She nods. She puts the car on drive and slowly puts her foot on the gas pedal. "Where am I driving to?" She asked.

"Have you ate yet?" I asked.

"No." She said shaking her head.

"Drive too.... ihop" I say.

"But it's almost lunch time." She says.

"Just drive to ihop." I say.

She puts her blinker on and moves to the left turning lane and stops at the light. She checks her phone right before I take it. "You can't check your phone while driving. Even if you're stopped."

A couple moments later she makes the left turn and drives straight. "Which way do I go now?"

"You don't know your way to ihop?" I asked.

"No, I don't. So which way do I go?" She asked.

"Make a right up here" I said pointing at the next street. She turned her blinker on and made a right.

"If I get my license-" she started.

"When you get your license..." I interrupted her.

"When I get my license." She said. "What am I even going to drive? I don't have a car."

Nash told me her and Hayes were getting a car as a birthday present, but it was a surprise. "Call me whenever you want to drive somewhere and you can use my car." I said.

"But aren't you driving your car to San Diego?" She asked.

"I was. But I can take Johnson's car since we were going to drive together." I said.

"Okay." She said.

"You sure you don't want to come with us? There's enough room and we will only be there a day. Plus, the fans will want to meet you. You've went to 2 events that's it." I explain.

"Jack, I shouldn't even have gone to the first 2. I wasn't invited as a guest performer and I didn't pay for any of it. I shouldn't be getting special treatment. You and I both know it's true." She told me.

"Whatever." I said quietly.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"11:26" I said.

"We only have 2 hours." She said.

"So ihop is right there. We will have time to eat and then pick Hayes up." I say.

"Okay." She said while turning into ihop.
