Our Last Summer

Chapter 2: the chateau

As i woke up i already felt a dull aching in my neck. I sat up and looked around. The house was still eerily quiet and the morning sun was peeking through the blinds. I was laying on the sofa in the chateau. Throwing of the blankets i was wrapped in, i stood up. Imediatly i noticed the familiar sweatshirt i was in. It was one of JJ's favourites, a long brown-ish sweater with a hood and long sleeves. 

To be honest it was a quite comfortable one, his scent of pine and seasalt entered my nose and made me instantly relax. I was looking around the house trying to find one of two dumbass teenage boys that i live with until i did find one. Tripping over an unassuming John B and falling face first on the floor was not something you want to experience at eight in the morning, let me tell you that.

He leapt up, clutching his arm, which i must've stepped on.

'Morning to you too Goldie' that damned nickname
'Sorry Johnny Boy' i said 'Have you seen JJ?'
'He's out on the porch i think' he answered me, standing up and walking to his bedroom.

He must've not gotten to his bed yesterday and decided the floor was good enough. I mean i know i was wasted and John B was there longer than me so he must've been a goner.

I walk over to the front door, leading to the porch where JJ was supposed to be sleeping. I saw him laying on the couch with some girl on top of him. Chances are he wouldn't want her here when he woke up so i kindly tapped his shoulder.

'Hey Jay' i greeted his grumpy ass face 'You've got a tiny problem right there' i said, pointing to the girl. She was pretty, brown hair up untill her shoulders and a pretty red dress that rode up untill her thighs. I recognized her. She used to live a few houses down from me. Emily, i think.

'Oh crap' he said, looking at the girl in his arms, who was still happily sleeping away. She was cuddling his neck and his arm was tightly wrapped around her waist.

'Good luck' i whispered, walking back inside the house, leaving him with the girl. He'd manage. It wasn't like this was the first time he'd been in a situation like this. It wouldn't be the last either.

I made breakfast for the two boys who, unfortunately, had no idea how to cook. I tried to teach John B once and let's just say there's still a stain on the ceiling from pancake batter. I made a little plate of fruit and a glass of water, i'm not Gordon Ramsey okay? Besides with the hangover they oughtta have, they'll need all the water they can get.

I saw John B out on the porch laughing at JJ who had to, kindly, get this girl the fuck of our couch. I have to admit it's quite amusing, seeing the scenario happen just outside the window. 

With John B on the oppposite side of the porch looking like he was watching the most entertaining piece of comedy ever and JJ on the other side, almost dying whilst the girl kept screaming at him. And from the bits and pieces i heard, she wasn't happy.

After about fifteen minutes of the screaming it died down and i guessed she left. Two minutes later, both boys retreated into the house, tired, hungover and still slightly aggravated from the previous encounter.

We had plans to meet up with Pope and Kie later today so we ate, got dressed and hopped in the twinkie. It's this awesome ass car that John B bought after saving up for it for a few years. Both me and JJ chipped in a little bit, but it was mostly him.

I sat in my usual seat, in the back but with my head poking between both their seats. John B was our assigned driver because let's all be honest i don't even trust JJ with a pen let alone a vehicle. JJ claimed the passengers seat the second John B bought the car.

I tried sitting there once and he dragged me out, literally. He took me by the arms and pulled untill i fell out of the car. Thankfully, he was there to be a bumper so i ended up on the ground on top of him. Must've looked wierd to passing people.

We drive for a few minutes in relaxed chatter with the radio humming a soft tune in the background. I think it was one of Kie's Bob Marley CD's. She forces us yo listen to them every time she rides along so we just have a few in here standard.

As we drove up the driveway of a random house that was still under construction i could see Pope and Kie standing in the backyard. I jumped out of the car, mission impossible style, and ran over to steal Pope's drink.

All three boys looked shocked at me jumping out of a moving vehicle but Kie was used to my antics. In my defence, the car was going like 2 miles an hour and i'd done this before. I'm might be a little reckless but i'm not stupid.

So after my incredibly elegant exit from the Twinkie, we went over to the house's backyard. I hopped on one of the many lounge chairs and laid back into the comfortable pillows. I felt a sudden weight on my stomach. As I sat up i noticed JJ using me as his personal pillow.

I sipped Pope's drink and crawled deeper into the warmth that the lounge chairs provided.  Kie had went inside to check out the 'kook lifestyle' as we call it. I sat up a little and looked around the garden.

There was a jacuzzi and a swimming pool in the left corner and a swing in the right. I saw a barbecue grill standing a few feet away, with the lid left of. The garden was nice, it was cared for, but not in a posh way.

As i lay there i dozed of and dreamed of what life could be like if we had money...

Hey babes,

I would say i got in a car crash or something but unfortunately i'm completely fine and don't have any excuse for leaving you pookies here with nothing. Sorry

'till next time,
