Adopted By the Griers'

Chapter 37

Bree's p.o.v.

"Marry me." Jack said.

I turn around and look at him. "What?" I laugh. "You're joking right?"

"No. I'm so serious." He says.

"Jack we are still in high school. We can't get married."

He stands up and walks towards me, "we can get engaged right now and then get engaged right after you graduate we get married."

"That's two years from now. And we haven't even been dating for that long." I say.

"We get engaged right now and then if we still love each other and still engaged we can get married."

"Or we can just get engaged, and married after high school, or after college."

He argues, "just think about it, please."

"Baby I love you. And I have thought about it. I don't want to get married, at least not right right now. Not while we are still in high school."

"Why not?" He asked.

"Think about what everyone would say when they find out we are engaged and planning on getting married while we are still in high school. Most people who think I'm pregnant, and other people would think we are crazy." I explain.

"But your not pregnant. Your not pregnant right?"

"No I'm not. But people will think that if we get married."

"So we will keep this engagement a secret." He says.

"We are not getting engaged, we will wait. And why do you want to get married so badly."

"I agree with everything you said about our relationship. And I want to prove to you that it won't be that way, so marry me." He explains.

"Jack please. You don't need to propose to me so you could prove it, just tell me it won't be that way and I'll believe you."

"I promise it won't be that way:" Jack says.

"And I believe you." I stand on my toes and kiss him.

"Hey, I promise we won't do anything, but can you stay with me tonight?"

"I don't think my parents would be up for that." I say.

"Tell them you're staying at one of the girls' house." He says.

"I can't I don't want them to think I'm using them, they already think I'm spending to much time with them."

"Then tell your parents the truth. My parents will be home soon and they won't care, and they will make sure we don't do anything." He suggest.

I slowly find my mom's name in my phone and press call.

The Phone Call

M: Hey honey.
B: Hi mom. I have a crazy question to ask you.
M: Okay, just don't make it too crazy.
B: Can I stay the night at Jack's? And before you say anything we won't do anything and his parents should be here soon.
M: Yes.
B: Mom please. Wait what?
M: You can stay the night. I trust you, and I trust him.
B: Really?
M: Yes, just make sure you are back home before noon tomorrow, your father and I are leaving for are anniversary vacation at 1.
B: Oh yeah, that's this week isn't it? Where are you two going again?"
M: Hawaii. But I should finish packing sweetie, I'll see you tomorrow.
B: Okay. Bye.
M: Bye.

End of Phone Call

"It's a yes?" He asked and I nodded. "Here is a shirt for you to sleep in."

I take my shirt off, then my jeans, and my bra then pulled his oversized t-shirt over my head.

"Here's some boxers to, wear those." He throws them to me and I catch them. I switch my panties out with his boxers and then take my hair out of a bun.

"Hey are the boys sleeping here?"

"Jack isn't but Skate and Sammy are staying in the guest rooms." He says.

"Aren't they going to live here now? Why haven't they bought their own place?" I asked.

"Why hasn't Gianna bought her own place?" He asked.

"Because she's my best friend and she's staying at my house no matter what." I says.

"Mmhmm" he says. "Come here."

"Ya know, I think I'm gonna keep these clothes." Jack pulls my shirt and me closer to home

"I don't know about that, that's my favorite shirt." He says.

"Oh yeah, of course, your favorite shirt has your face on it."

We both laugh and then we start to slowly kiss. "I love you baby." He says.

"I love you too." I say. I jump into his arms and wrap my legs around his waist. He gently lays me on the bed and we make out some more.

"Hey Jack I'm headed ou-" Johnson bursts through the door and sees us making out.

"Um sorry, I was just leaving, uh, bye." He laughs a little and shuts the door.

I look at Jack and start laughing. "That was. Really embarrassing."

"Why? It's not like we were gonna do anything."

I quickly kiss him then slide up from under him. "Turn on Netflix, I want to keep watching One Tree Hill."

"Did you watch without me?" He asked.

"No of course not." I say lying.

"Here. Put it on season 3 episode 1 then pause it. I'll be right back, I'm going make popcorn and get us some drinks.

*5 minutes later*

"Okay ready? You can press play." Jack shuts the door then turns the light off and has a bowl of popcorn and 2 root beers in his hand.

As soon as I press play we both get a text unknown number. End of summer all-night party. Hosted by Brooke Adams. Saturday beginning at 8 pm. Swimming pool, beer, spin the bottle, and more. Spread the word. Campton High students only. Address: 546 Venice Blvd. Special surprise at midnight.

"Do you know this number or this address? Or the name." I asked Jack.

He shook his head. "Do you want to go?"

"I'm not sure. Everyone in the group chat got the text too. None of them recognizes the name or the number and address." I say.

"I think we should go, we need to find out who this person is." He says

To: Squad- Jack G and I are going to the party. Who else..?

Everyone started texting back and saying they were going too. And we all tweeted it so everyone at our school would see it.
