Wait...but you're like...my best friend!?: A Jackson Five Fanfiction

About Last Night...

The Next Day

Jermaine's POV

"Are you guys all ready to go yet?" Jackie says, from the doorframe.

"No! I can't find my lucky ring!" I complained to him.

He rolls his eyes. "Don't tell me you still believe in luck."

"Yeah, how old are you Jermaine?" Tito teases, smacking the back of my head.

I hit him back. I hate it when he does that.

"Seriously guys! I always skate better when I wear it," I say, throwing things out of my drawer, looking for it.

"Pfft- Jermaine what are you doing?" Jay asks, walking in and removing a shirt from her face.

"Sorry," I say, pulling it off, "I'm trying to find my favorite ring."

She nibbles on her lip and hides her hands behind her back, making butterflies appear in my stomach.

"Was it a fake gold ring with a green and purple gem?" she asks.

"Yeah! How did you..."

Jay holds out her hand. "Well I might've kinda sorta borrowed it for today," she says, digging her shoe into the ground.

I smile, unable to be mad at her. "Well, you might've kinda sorta coulda just asked me."

"I know! But I didn't think you'd mind," she pouts, "Please just let me wear it! It matches my outfit!"

I roll my eyes. She could be so annoying but also so adorable. "Fine."

"Also was that a Stevie Wonder T-Shirt?"

"Maybe."

"Would you be willing to donate it to your bestest friend ever?" she smiles mischievously.

"Are you just gonna take all my stuff?" I laugh.

She shrugs. "Depends. How much will you let me take?"

"Why not, Jay. You'd probably just take it anyway," I smirk.

"Thanks!" she says, running away with it before I can change my mind.

"Bro that was like the worst thing you could've done," Tito tells me, "You'll have nothing by the end of the day!"

"It's ok," I smile, "she's worth it."

Jackie gags. "You guys make me sick. Please just hurry up and get in the car if you still wanna go roller-skating," Jackie says, leaving. He comes back. "Oh and Michael and Marlon aren't coming. Joseph wanted to take them fishing or something like that."

He leaves and Tito smiles at me.

"When did you two start acting all lovey-dovey?" Tito questioned, nudging me.

I smiled. "Don't know man. Just happened."

"Hmm, I got my eye on you two," he says, picking out his afro. "Ooh! You should ask her to skate when the couple skate hour comes!"

"Maybe I will."

"Come on you guys," Jay yells, running downstairs. "It's 11:14. We only have the rink for two hours!"

I catch a glimpse of her wearing the shirt I gave her. Looks like I'll have to ask Stevie for some more merch.

Jay's POV (10 Hours Ago)

"I'll be there to comfort you, wrap my world of dreams around you. I'm so glad that I found you," I sang as I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling, wondering if Jermaine and I were still on for tonight.
