"Jacob stop being dramatic it's not going to be all night, it's just 3 hours tops." My mom said fixing my brother's unruly hair.
Yes he did end up coming home late yesterday at 11 and now he's grounded for a week. Ha! Like he's gonna obey that.
"Why do you want us to be friends with these people so bad we don't know them." Jacob said trying to move away from our mother's grip on his hair.
I don't agree on many things with Jacob, me and him are total polar opposites. He's taller than me, I'm more smarter than him (biggest flex), I'm gay, he's not and I'm the sweet child and he's.....well he can be menacing at times, like a lot of the time but when he said that the Morris' aren't our friends he was definitely right.
"I will not hear anymore of that, why can't you be more like James." She said turning to me.
"Oh I don't disagree with J you know very well why I don't want to go there." I said to her point blank.
"James he's been gone for a month, you've been depressed for a long time just get over it." She said turning back to Jacob's unruly hair.
I sat there, mouth agape at what was said to me, my own mother thinks I'm being dramatic about the fact that my boyfriend that I've known since I was in diapers dumped me and I'm not over that. What the hell!!?

*door bell rings*
*door opens*
"Oh hi! Lydia and John we've been waiting for you guys." A woman says I'm assuming she's Mrs Morris?
"Oh Ava so sorry we're late, these are our boys Jacob and James." My mother introduced us and the overly pink woman smiled at us.
Like do you know what a Barbie overload was...yep that's what I'm seeing right now.
"Come in come in. The rest of the family is waiting inside." we were lead inside the house.
I've been in this house all my life and I barely could recognize it. They made serious remodeling.
"Honey, the Hardins are here!" Ava calls out up the stairs.
20 seconds later a grown man and a mini-Ava come down the stairs where's the boy? did he fall down a well? I mean that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, right?
"Here's my husband Damon and our daughter, Hannah."
We all shook hands and continued to the dining room.
"Uhm honey where's Lucas?" Ava asked her husband after we had seated.
"I'm here mother." and we all turned around to see this tall, blonde, hot——I mean average looking boy moving towards the dining table and taking a seat.
"Oh, and here's our son Lucas."
"Luke's just fine." He corrected his mother and he was met with a knowing look from her.
He then turned and looked at me and gave me a half smile which was noticed by my brother as he's nudging my knee with his right now.
"Okay since we're all here I guess we should start digging in." Mrs Morris said.
~~~
We had spent the entire dinner laughing and telling each other stories about each other's families. My parents told the embarrassing story that I put hair remover on my brother's cap which inherently removed gis hair all because he finished my favorite shampoo. Yes I'm petty deal with it :-|
We were currently walking back home when I was called back by someone I tried by all means to avoid the entirety of the night. Guess I didn't try hard enough.
"Hey James? Can I talk to you for a sec." The blonde asked as he approached me.
I look back at my family giving them a signal to get tf inside, knowing my parents they're going to hound me for details. They are too involved in my life it's got to stop.
"Make this quick I want to sleep." I turn back around my lips pressed in a tight thin line.
"Uhm ok. Well I just wanted to know if you wanted to hang tomorrow?" He asked sheepishly.
"Huh? Dude I don't know you like that so..."
"Yes but we'll be getting to know each other more if you agree." He says touching my shoulder.
Oh boy. He should not have done that.
"First of all I was only being nice cause of my parents, me and you will never hangout and do me a favor next time I so happen to see you. Just ignore me cause I sure will!" I start walking back home.
I stop in my tracks. I spin around back at him for a moment his face lightens but goes down again probably cause he sees my pissed expression.
"And never, ever, touch me again!"
Fucking interloper!
A/N
Hey everybody this one's a little bit short and a little bit late (I'm so sorry😭). It's been a hectic week plus I've been going through some creative constraints.
I finished writing this chapter after such a long day of fun and festivities so you bet my creative juices are up. I'm going to start posting more consistently so that the book can grow and reach more audiences.
Till the next one
