Broken Home (Jacoby Shaddix and Michael Clifford)

Chapter Ten

After that night, once we got threw the drugs, threw saying I love you, and finally sleeping together, things could not have been better for our relationship. But school wise, it couldn't be farther from okay.

Jacoby got suspended for not showing up to school that following Monday. It was my job, to bring him his work and help him get it done.

As for Mikey, he had got caught smoking pot in the bathroom and got expelled for the year. He was not graduating with us, he had to wait till next year. Lizzy wasn't happy about it, but she was still there for him.

My brother, was a different story. With Jacoby suspended and Mikey expelled, he didn't like me hanging around with them anymore. Thank god he was okay with Lizzy, but the moment I mentioned something about the boys, he would try to talk me out of going. He didn't like Jacoby all that much anymore.

"You know what sucks." I said hanging upside down on Lizzy's bed.

She glanced at me, then back at her drawing, "What sucks?"

"The fact my brother wants nothing to do with Jacoby anymore." I said sadly, "My niece is coming for spring break next week. We actually get to keep her and im so excited. Shes going to have all my attention. Everywhere I go, she will be with me."

"And that sucks how?" Lizzy asked me confused.

I sat up and looked at her heart broken, "I wont get to see Jacoby. Ronnie will not let me knew him with my niece. And I want Jacoby to meet her so bad."

"Doing in secert?" Lizzy suggested.

I shook my head and sighed, "I can't lie to my brother. I never lied to my brother. Plus, my niece will more then likely rat me out."

"You havent told your brother you even slept with Jacoby, so hows that different?" She asked.

I looked at her like she was crazy, "Not telling him something and lying about it is two different things."

"Mhm, if you put it that way." She laughed, "Who is your niece?"

"Willow! Shes Ronnie's daughter. Shes three." I said excited.

Lizzy looked at me dumbfounded, "I didn't know your brother had a daughter?"

"Yea, we don't see her much, her mom has custody of her." I said rolling my eyes, "Shes a straight bitch."

"Well, I think, you should bring her over here when she comes." She told me.

I raised a brow at her, "Why?"

"I don't know." She said getting up and starting for the door, "I'm full of surprises."

I shook my head and laughed, "Whatever you saw. Are we still going to hang out tonight?"

She nodded as we walked out of her room and downstairs, "Of course. Come over around six, Jacoby and Mikey will come get us and we'll do something."

"Always!" I said highfiving her as I got in my car and started home.

I pulled up and noticed my brothers car was missing. I wondered where he could possibly be. He didnt mention that he had to be anywhere and I was slightly worried. I hoped nothing had happened.

I walked inside and in the kitchen. There was a note from Ronnie on the counter.

'Something came up, I ran to town for a little bit. Don't make any plans tonight, okay? I have something for you when I come home. I'll be home around five. Order a pizza around 4:30. Money's in the living room, under the coasters. I love you sis, behave! No Jacoby over while I'm gone, I mean it!' -Ronnie.

I rolled my eyes and went into the living room. I turned on American Horror Story and started to catch up on it.

When it was a little past 4:30, I called in the pizza. I also texted Lizzy to tell her my brother didn't want me to have plans, but I would get out of it, if it wasn't to crazy.

There was a knock on the door not long after I had ordered the pizza. I knew it couldn't have been the pizza guy, so I assumed it was Ronnie and ignored it. He could use his keys.

Sure enough, he came in and stood in front of me with his arms crossed, "You couldn't unlock the door for me?"

I laughed, "No, why would I when you have keys?"

He looked down the hall and smiled, then looked at me, "Not even for your favorite person?"

I jumped up and looked down the hall.

My niece, Willow came running down the hall and jumped in my arms.

"Oh my god! Is that where you went? To get her?!" I said excited as I sat on the couch with Willow.

Ronnie set next to us and nodded his head, "Yea, her mom flew out with her. Joy. Because she had something to do in LA before she headed off to Hawaii for spring break."

"You went all the way to LA to get her?" I asked.

He nodded his head again, "When I knew my girl was close, I'd do anything to just see her for a moment."

"Did you not know she was going to come back with you?" I also asked.

He shook his head no, "Crissy texted me and said if I wanted time with her before she came up this weekend, I could come down to LA and see her for the day. Then when I got there, she didn't want me to leave, so she let her go ahead and come with me."

"You asshole!" I yelled at him, "You went to go see her without me?!"

"Hey hey, you'll be okay. I brought her back didn't I?" Ronnie laughed.

I shot him a glare, "Shes mine now."

"Fine with me." He said happily, "I have some stuff to do at the studio to get ready for recording."

"Good!" I said sticking my tongue out at him.

He hugged both me and Willow, then headed out the door.

I texted him and asked him how late he would be. He texted back and told me he would be out all night.

Thats when I got a text from Lizzy.

Lizzy: 'We still on for the night?'

"Fuck." I mumbled.

"Thats a naughty word." Willow pointed out.

I smiled at her, "Thats true baby."

"What are we going to do aunt Cyndy?" She asked me.

I thought about it long and hard. I could invite them over here and hang out, just for a little while.

"Hey Willow, I have a question." I said kneeling down in front of her.

She smiled at me, "Yes aunt Cyndy?"

"If I invited a few friends over to meet you, you promise to keep it a secert?" I asked her.

Her smiled got bigger, "I promise!"

I laughed and patted her head, "Okay, I'll give them a call."

I went into the kitchen and called Lizzy to tell her my little plan. I was surprised in myself at even attempting this. I never went against what my brother told me. But I wanted Jacoby so bad to meet Willow.
