Last Light

3: Jelly Donuts

John's POV

I was surprised to see everyone awake at 8:30. Especially Paige.

"Jelly Donuts!" Pete yelled.

I was mauled. Every single donut was in someone's hand, the four coffees and one chai tea were gone. I set the box down and snatched my food that Pete took and flicked his forehead.

"Bro, come on I was just trying to make sure no one else stole them." Pete complained

"Then how do you explain these?" I gestured toward teeth marks lining the filling hole in my donut. I forgot Paige was there until she giggled about the jelly erupting from Derek's mouth. What an idiot.

Paige squealed and Derek engulfed her tiny body into a hug like gesture on the floor. Kylie immediately stood up and yanked Derek to his feet.

"Stop, your gonna crush her." She scolded him.

"Kylie chill out. Seriously look at her right now!"

Paige was laying flat on the floor laughing, her mouth was wide open and her eyes were watering. Everyone was staring at the spastic child when Ryan lifted her to her feet. The laughter was flushed and panic filled her expression as she swiftly adjusted her shirt.

"That was fun." She breathed.

I went over and sat down on the couch.  Everyone joined me and soon there was no more room on the first couch for Ryan.

"Your guys' loss." He went over to the second couch and laid across the whole thing.  "Paigie, come join me!"

Paige groaned at "Paigie" and stood up. Ryan shifted so she could sit next to him. She sat at the opposite end of the couch.

"Hey!" Ryan pouted.

"You can see the screen better from here!" She protested.

"Fine I'll move to you" He slid right down and sat next to her.

I turned on Netflix and clicked on season 4 of Grey's Anatomy.

"Grooooossssss! Drop Dead Diva!" Yelled Pete.

"Since when did you like Drop Dead Diva?" I asked

"It's soooooo good!" He persuaded us.

See that aspiring model there? That was me, Deb. Until the day I died. I thought I would go strait to heaven, but there was a bit of a mix up, and I woke up in someone else's body (screams)

I paused it right then and there and rolled my eyes at Pete.

"What?!" He questioned.

"This is ridiculous! I am not going to watch this garbage!"

"Give it a chance!" He whined. "It sounds ridiculous but it's really good and there's lawyers and super funny cases and everything is a huge secret that has to be kept. And I learned a lot about laws and stuff."

"Pete it's a TV show. The things you learn about laws is probably stupid."

"But-" Ryan interrupted

"I am not watching a stupid show about lawyers and big secrets" he used air quotes.

"I like it." Paige argued. "I could always learn a bit about law. Even if it's minimal" she winked at Pete and laid across the second sofa. Ryan chuckled and plopped down right on top of her.

"Now that, is crushing her." Derek said to Kylie. Kylie rolled her eyes and Paige struggled free. She came over and sat down in her old spot.

"Welcome back!" Pete snatched the remote and hit play.

All I heard from the TV was things like "super busy lawyer...blah...blah... Guardian angel... Fred" when I saw Paige was texting someone. Jared.

"Soooooo... Who's he?" I nudged her and nodded toward the screen. That got everyone's attention, and she blushed. "Invite him over goofball." She grinned.

a/n: I don't know if I like this chapter or not but yeah I put a lot of thought into it so whatever. I wish there was like a magic device that told you if your writing was good. I wish I could see who read my story because it could just be the same person over and over again. Lol I wish to much I should just be happy to be here. Ok peace out. Thanks.
