When the elevator got to my floor, I opened the door and went straight to Jakob's own little room I had set up for him a few months back. I put the diaper bag on the table and settled him in his crib. I decided while he is put down I might as well clean up before the boys get here. I picked up my shoes from the living room. I went onto the balcony, only to be welcomed by my year old Husky, Wi-fi. I pet her for a little bit before going back in to start dinner. I started making spaghetti and left the noodles to cook. I swept the kitchen, mopped the tiled floors, vacuumed the carpet, and dusted. This took me quite a while and once I finished I plopped down on the couch and sighed. Finally done. I looked at the clock that read 6:00. I got up to check the noodles. I drained the water and added the rest of the ingredients and turned off the stove.

I went to go check up on Jakob and found him staring at the ceiling with his thumb in his mouth. His diaper looked heavy, so I changed him and thought he could use a bath. After that I took him into the kitchen to give him his medicine. It's been a little over 4 hours since Ms. Reeds gave it to him, but it was fine since he wasn't acting up. I gave him a few Cheerios along with the medicine. I put on the radio and picked up Jakob and started dancing with him. He was giggling and holding onto my shoulders. After a while, a song I know very well came on and Jakob was falling asleep to the sound of my voice.



A shot in the dark

A past, lost in space

Where do I start

The past, and the chase

You hunted me down

Like a wolf, a predator

I felt like a deer in love lights



You loved me and I froze in time

Hungry for that flesh of mine

But I can't compete with a she wolf who has brought me to my knees

What do you see in those yellow eyes

Cause i'm falling to pieces



I'm falling to pieces

I'm falling to pieces

I'm falling to pieces

Falling to pieces



This song was basically nothing more than a reminder as to what happened to the first person I ever wanted to have a life with. Obviously I wasn't good enough for him and he went for her. She was flawless. I couldn't blame him for choosing her over me. I'm nothing.

I put Jakob down in his room then made my way to take a quick shower to relax. I made a reminder to myself that that was the past and this is the present.

After, I changed into something casual. Jeans with a frilly beige top. I went into my bathroom to straighten my hair and put my makeup on. I stayed with the usual smokey eye look. Not to little, not to much.

After, I set up the table with my china. I put the silverware right next to it. I turned on the spaghetti again to warm it up. By the time it was heated up it was 7:50 and the boys would be coming soon. I thought it would be nice to have Jakob join us so I got him up and dressed him really quick with jeans and a checkered red and black shirt. I put his hair up into a little fro-hawk. I got his high chair set up, right by me at the table. There was a knock at the door, so I picked up Jakob and opened the door.

"HEEEEEEEEELLOOOOO!!" Louis yelled. I winced, but Jakob was giggling.

"Jesus Christ Lou! I'm right in front of you, not in Manchester!" I said laughing.

"Aw! The little guy's awake!" Zayn cooed.

"Yeah and we match!" Liam said. Sure enough, I looked at Liam and they were matching. Except Jakob had Chuck's on and Liam had boots.

"Can I hold him?" Niall asked with hopeful eyes. "Sure! But watch your hair!" I said excited. What can I say? Niall's very contagious.

"Come on in guys!" I said. They all followed me inside and sat down at the table. "Ermagerd!!!!!" Niall yelled as he bounced up and down with Jakob in his arms. He was freaking out as to what was in front of him, which was the spaghetti.

"What Niall? Are you like allergic to spaghetti or something?" I asked sarcastically.

"Har..har! Who would be allergic to this wonderful, magnificent, delicious, mouth-watering-"

"Okay Niall we get it... Now put Jakob in his high chair and sit down so we can all get to know Jessie a little bit better and thank her since she made your favorite food."

Oh! It's his favorite? I get it now. That's why he was so excited.

"So how did the interview go?" I asked them accusingly.

"Oh! Um, th-the interview went swell! We actually were able to talk the guy into letting Harry get a cat!" Zayn saida little nervously.

"This is absolutely wonderful Jessie! You have better cooking skills than Harry! And that's saying alot!" Louis saud, changing the subject. Everyone at the table burst into hysterics and Harry just pouted.

"And I thought we were best buds Lou!" Louis just started laughing as well. From there we talked about everything and anything. The boys were really funny.
