The Maynards

Which girl?

Joe looked at me with that look, that look of disappointment, I questioned it. Why were they disappointed with me, I was only helping Jack... And then I realised what it looked like. I jumped up to expose Jack, his eyes puffy and red, I quickly and frantically explained the situation in full, well almost, well.. Um.. OK it wasn't the whole truth, because there was no way I was going to tell the whole truth in front of all the boys, that was definitely not going to be my job. This is what I said instead,
" look I know what it looks like but I came back and Jack was upset so I was just giving him a hug as I didn't know want else to do. "
It seemed to calm them down, although I don't think some of them really believed me, apart from Conor. He had never seen his brother like that before and the concern on his face was so cute, he calmly went to sit next to Jack and said
" look mate, what's wrong, c'mon it can't be that bad. "
Jack was silent.
I looked at all he boys and told them we should go for a drink, but they wouldn't budge. Shit, what am I meant to do, I mean there was no way Jack was in the right state of mind to have this conversation, and I think Conor could smell that on jacks breathe. There was an awkward moment of silence before I went,
" How about we all go down to Marco Polo for a drink"
Marco Polo was a bar, 15 seconds from their house. Jack and Conor were lucky they literally lived 15 seconds from a bar, pub and shop.
They all agreed, probably because they didn't want to be in that uncomfortable situation any longer. I looked down at what I was wearing, and I looked like a fucking idiot, I was still in my full school uniform which was purple, PURPLE. Joe realised this as I looked down and said
" nice outfit there Gemma!"
" Fuck off, look at yours" I reply.
We both smiled, I hoped everything was ok now.
I had to do something about this outfit and remembered I still had the dress from last night, I mean it was clubbing dress but it would have to do. I ran and put it on, the boys complaing every second they had to wait for me.

I was finally ready, but there was no way I was leaving all this alcohol with Jack alone in the house. I asked Josh and Caspar, as they were the tallest, to grab the bottles left along the top shelf - no joke there were like 20 bottles of vodka- and I grabbed the rest of the stuff that was in the fridge.
Instead of listing it all I'll just say that it took all six of us 15 minutes to do the lot. We hid it under the stairs, knowing Jack wouldn't look there. We came back into the kitchen and he was asleep, the boys were laughing loudly and with a raised whisper I told them to shut up. I grabbed the new throw josh had recently bought, as the other one smelled like mikey's cheesy, gross feet, and threw it over Jack. At that moment I was so tempted to kiss him on the forehead, but I was not about to do that in front of the five boys after what they had just walked into.

The boys, a bit dazed by what had just happened, made their way over to Marco Polo, it was quite awkward between me and Conor as we sat down, so I grabbed a compact mirror out of my bag to look at myself just to fill the awkwardness. I was presented with a bare face with just mascara smudged under my eyes and my hair in a gross messy bun. Conor, who was sitting opposite me, saw the disappointment on my face as I looked at myself, he then went
" You look beautiful" and did his cute little grin.
I smiled and a warm fuzzy feeling filled up inside me, after everything that had just happened he was still giving me his cute little compliments. The guilt I felt.

We finish our drinks and headed back to the apartment. As soon as we get in, me and Conor forget about Jack and have had just a little too much to drink, mainly just to forget about the guilt. We roll in to the flat and rush straight upstairs to his bedroom. He throws me onto the bed and I pull off my top and shorts to expose my matching black, lace underwear. He slowly climbs on top of me and we start to kiss. The kiss was so passionate and so soft. I felt him going down my neck, our hot bodies rubbing up against each other, how far was this going to go? Suddenly Joe, Caspar, Oli, Mikey and Josh barge through the door, however Conor and I were so wrapped up in what we were doing we didn't realise. He went to go and kiss me again until my eyes got caught with joes and I suddenly realised they were there. I awkwardly push Conor away until he stopped and realised the situation. This was horrible, it was silent and I was basically naked. Joe sniggered which slightly relived the tension, until Caspar awkwardly said
" Jack is asking for you"
This was my que to leave. As I walked out, the rest of them walked in, this was good as it meant me and Jack could have some alone time.

I go down to see Jack in his white boxers showing from under the blanket and his blonde messy hair almost across his whole face. I sit next to him and move the hair away from his face and softly whisper into his ear,
"What's wrong, are you ok?"
"No" he replies in his deep, sexy voice.
I give him a hug, but the only thing I can think about was who was the girl that he got pregnant, I mean I know it was one of Conor's ex's, but which.

*Now there is something you must know about me and Jack. When I was about 14, as you know, I was massive fan of Jack and Conor's and at this point my cousin was 20. My family was very involved in bf and gf and when my grandparents heard of my cousins they wanted him to come to the family lunch on the Sunday. This was the worst thing ever, it was awkward and just made me cringe, but there was nothing I could do about it. So that Sunday we were all at my grandparents house when her and her mysterious bf arrived. Now I had asked my grandma what his name was. She said Jack, I replied with "Jack Maynard?" Knowing it really annoy my family when I mentioned one of the Maynards, because I was obsessed and would always talk about them, so she just rolled her eyes at me. Anyway, they walked in and my mum called me from the living room to come and meet the bf and say hello, I was not looking forward to it. I went and looked up to see my cousin, Bronte, and then in walked her bf, and you would have never of guessed who it was, Jack fucking Maynard. I screamed, I cried and everyone thought I was a weirdo, even him. Who would have thought that 2 years later I would be lying on his sofa hugging him. I must say aswell that at this point in his life, Jack Maynard didn't have girlfriends, he just had many girls so this was a massive shock for me.*
Him and my cousin had broken up ages ago, and from what I knew, it started when she had a thing with Conor. She had never really been known to have a bf till 20, so this was a shock to me too.

I took a deep breathe, I had to ask what girl it was.
" so Jack,"
"Yeah?"
"Which girl did you get pregnant?' I ask in fear.
" why do you ask" he says
"Umm well"
"Look don't be mad but.."
'Oh god here we go'
" it was Bronte"
"What as in my cousin Bronte" I knew the answer
"Yeah"
' why lord, why me'

My whole family and I are seeing each other and my grandparents tomorrow at 2, and Bronte was going to be there... But I don't know if I was prepared to tell Jack that.
