This Summer (Jake Paul and friends)

Chapter 2

"Are you sure this is what you want?" Twan asks me once we're in front of Jake's apartment. I nod and go to unlock the door. I find Jake and Chance on the couch with Logan there too. "Hey," Chance greets while getting off the couch and coming up to me. "Hey Twan," Logan calls. Twan walks ahead of me, but looks back to make sure I'm okay. I nod and then turn towards Chance.

"I know that you actually did get drunk," I tell him. He sighs in relief and goes to hug me, but I put my arms up to stop him. "You believe me now? Don't you?" he asks me. I look behind him and see Jake looking at us from the couch. Then I look back at Chance. "I also know about the girl," I softly say. Chance's face tells it all by the way his face pales.

"It was Twan, wasn't it?" he asks now with anger. "You don't have any right to be mad at him," I say defensively. "Tell me what happened Chance!" I began to yell. "I don't want to talk about it here," he tries to avoid the topic. I go over to where Jake is and stand in front of him with my arms crossed. "Tell me Jake or, so help me god, I will never forgive you. You're my best friend! Does that not mean anything?" I raise my voice at him. "She got down on her knees for him," Jake confesses with pain in his eyes. I back up and process what was just said. "Abs..." Chance begins to say, but I go up to him and knee him in the balls before walking out of the apartment. The tears begin to fall and I have to stop to wipe them away because I couldn't see at one point. I finally make my way outside and begin to walk away.

My phone goes off with Jake's ringtone, then Twan's and Logan's last. "It's Abbi, isn't it?" someone off to the side asks. I look over and see Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky standing there. "Sorry I just recognize you from Jake's pictures," Johnson continues with. I've stopped crying, but I'm sure my eyes are red and puffy. "Yeah that's me," I finally admit. "Would you like to join us? We were just going to get smoothies, this is the best place around," he asks. I nod and reply with, "Only if you promise not to tell anyone I'm here with you." He smiles and says, "Promise." Then Gilinsky tells me, "I promise too." I cheaply smile and walk inside with them.

"Then this girl jumps at me and it really startles me, so I didn't have time to catch her and we both end up falling down," Johnson finishes another crazy fan encounter. I find myself laughing and smiling with their company. "Wow we've been here for an hour," Gilinsky comments while checking his phone. "Do you want to come back to our place Abbi? I mean we're just going to be working on music and stuff, but you're welcome to come," Gilinsky asks. "Yeah for sure you should come," Johnson adds on. I smile at them and reply with, "I'd love to."

Once in the car, I tell them, "Thanks for not asking about what's wrong." They look back and Johnson voices, "You looked like you didn't want to talk about it and I respect that." I smile and say," Well thanks anyway. It means a lot to me." He smiles back and tells me, "I feel like we're going to be great friends." Gilinsky laughs and agrees, "Yeah I get that vibe too." They've made me forgot about my troubles, I can see it too, so I tell them, "Then let's do it."

"Nash!" Johnson yells while we walk into their flat. I hear someone running upstairs and then a face appears by the railing. "You called?" Nash asks. Johnson steps aside and grabs my hand to pull me forward. "This is Abbi, she's Jack and I's new friend. Just wanted you to know she's here, so don't do anything like wear no pants," he tells Nash. I laugh and say, "Hi." Nash smiles and comments, "Abbi don't let them fool you. They're the ones that go pants less." I start busting out laughing and look back over at Johnson, his cheeks are now red. "Well then we must be going in the other room," he utters while walking away. Gilinsky follows him, but turns my way and announces, "You can make yourself at home and if you want, you can come in here. It'll be a little boring warning you." He smiles then goes in the room Johnson went in.

Johnson sticks his head out right after and tells me, "Oh yeah what he said too, new bestie." He gives me a wink, then I'm in the living room by myself. I look up and see Nash still there. "You can come up here and hang with me and my brother, Hayes, if you like?" he asks. I make my way up there, because I didn't know of anything else to do. "I recognize you from somewhere," he voices once I'm on the second floor with him. "It'll come to me," he continues with. I laugh and say, "Let me know when it does."

Hayes is spread across the bed when I walk in the room. "Took you long enough," he comments without looking away from the TV. "Hayes this is Abbi," Nash introduces me while grabbing Hayes' legs off the bed and pulling on him. Hayes falls off the bed and looks up at me. "Well hello there," he says while he gets up and comes to give me a hug. I laugh and say, "Hi Hayes, nice to meet you." He pulls away and looks at me while asking, "Are you Nash's new girlfriend?" I gape at him with my mouth open and look over at Nash to find he has the same look, but then Nash smacks Hayes on the back of the head. "No you idiot, she's the Jacks new friend....wait I know you! You're also Jake Paul's best friend. Yes! I got it," Nash tells us with excitement.

I frown I didn't want to think about Jake right now. "Yeah that's me," I softly tell him. Then I continue with, "I think I'm going to go see what Jack and Jack are up to." I walk out of the room leaving Nash and Hayes. "Wait Abbi!" I hear Hayes yell. I turn around on the stairs to see him standing at the top coming down to me. "What do you say we go for a walk? There's this park at the end of the street and it's nice to just sit at," he asks me. "I don't know Hayes..." I begin to say but he interrupts me with, "I'm great company. C'mon Abbi." He has this huge smile and I can't tell him no now. "Okay let's go," I say while reaching the front door. "Great!" he yells while grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door.

I wanted to comment that I'm trying to post a chapter every week. I've actually already written a lot of the story, but it's the time to type it all up that's slowing me down. But I hope you like it so far! The beginning is kind of slow, but getting more into the story is where the drama is all about. Anyway thanks for reading :)
