Homecoming

Film 'Project'

Twenty minutes into the next episode of The Office, you were super bored. There was a knock on yours and Chris' front door; it was Kylie, Allie, Jess, and a guy in a black Slipknot hoodie with red Tripp pants and black on black Converse sneakers. 

"Hi, ladies." you said puzzled. "Who's your friend?"

Before an answer was given, he ripped his hood down to reveaal his bright red hair and neon green plugs with zombies on them. You started to be reminded of Jackson, the delivery guy from a few days ago. You quickly made yourself snap out of it. 

"It couldn't be!" you thought to yourself. 

"(y/n), I think you know my friend, Jackson!" said a very chipper Allie.

The mystery guy removed his black sunglasses to show his hazel eyes. 

"Yeah! I remember you, you were our delivery boy a few days back!" you replied as if you didn't already know who it was, even before Allie said anything.

It started to become awkward; FAST! Jackson kept on looking at you and grinning like Gacy. 

"Allie, can I have a word with you for a second?" you asked, pulling her by the arm into yours and Chris' bedroom; slamming the door shut behind you two.

"What?!" she asked.

"You... What did you,,, Huh?? Why is he here?" you asked highly confused at this point.

"I just thought we could have some fun with Jackson. He's in film school and needs to do a doumetary to pass. I told him he should do it on Scranton." Allie replied, informing you as she was fully aware you were about to snap. "Sound cool?"

"What happened to this 'all girls' thing while the guys are away?" you asked with your voice starting to rise.

"We'll still have it! Jackson only needs about 25-30 minutes of footage. Piece of cake!" she answered, putting her hands on your shoulders. 

"Oh, okay. Yeah, we can do this!" you soon agreed as you opened the door to go back to the living room where everybody else was. 

"So, I hope it's not weird having me here." Jackson laughed.

"No, no. It's totally fine!" you stated, reassuring Jackson with a slight smile.

Jackson started unpacking his film equipment from the backseat of his '99 Saturn so you, Kylie, and Jessica could squeeze in to the tight area. Allie sat up front in the passanger seat. You couldn't help but giggle softly because the only people you knew with Saturn cars were girls.

He probably knew what you were thinking, with a grin on your porcelin face when the car stopped at a red light. "So, do you girls like my sister's car? Mine's in the shop." he asked.

A few minutes passed after getting to your first destination. "Okay! This is one of the raddest things in PA, I think." you informed him. "Why don't you get some footage of this abandoned church to my right?" 

Jackson nodded, putting the camera on his shoulder. "So, how'd you find out about this place?" he asked with a wink.

At this point, you were kind of weirded out; but just shook it off. Something was up with him at the church; actually something was up with him this entire time. You didn't want anything else to fuel his fire, so you quickly replied, "My BOYFRIEND takes me here sometimes after getting ice cream. It's real important to both of us!"

Jackson was probably catching your drift, as the rest of the trip was silent. When it was time to leave, you packed into the back of the tiny car with Jess and Kylie. 

A few seconds into driving back to the house, Jackson broke the silence as if it were never even there. "So, did you girls have fun?"

"Not even IAMX could block this guy out!" you thought to yourself as you wrapped your earbud cord aroung your index finger.

The only one who answered was Allie which made you roll your eyes. Obviously they've been friends for a while because they starteed talking about how he pushed Ryan in a pool at a party. 

After the longest ten minutes of your life, you were finally back at the house. you slid to the open car door after Jessica; Kylie followed shortly after. You all made your way straight to the porch; you were the only one with a key; so you obiously went ahead of everyone else. When you gripped the chrome doorhandle of the black door, you felt something behind you. Jackson just slapped your butt! 

It was probably an accident; but then again, probably not. He was such a jerk!! 

"Hey, buddy! What was that?" Jessica snapped.

"I was just... I was... Uh." Jackson said, his voice shaking.

"You were just what?!" Allie asked with tension in her voice.

You were somewhat shocked because Allie was talking and laughing with toolbag a minute ago.

When you finally made it through the door, Jackson said he was sorry and that it wouldn't happen again. You could sense it was real when he spoke; so you believed him. 

All of you were watching the minimal footage Jackson did get when Jessica's phone rang louder than ever. "Hold on guys. It's Ricky." she told us.

Sitting downstairs was awkward and kind of quiet, so you started texting Chris. You could all hear Jessica from upstairs; she sounded happy!

Maybe the guys are coming home early? Oh my gosh, you hoped so.
