The Maynards

Sh*t

I woke up to millions of texts from my mum asking where I was. I called her and told her I had stayed at a friends house, she seemed to not know about me running out of school, but I wasn't 100% sure. She told me to come home quickly as they were about to head down to my grandparents. I got up, quickly realising I wasn't fully clothed and was not in Conor's room. I took one quick look around and looked down to the sleepy blonde haired person laying there... I was in jacks room. I don't remember much from last night, I mean I remember some but not all. I decided to do the only thing I thought was right, which was to call Imi. She answered and knew straight away something was wrong
"Hey Gemma, what's up, are you ok?"
"No" I said, a tear fell from my eye, I had screwed up.
She asked me to explain and I then went on to tell her what I could remember.
" Well after we came in and me and Jack had started talking, we started to drink. We drunk a lot, too much,he was upset and this lead to kinda bad choices."
"Oh Gemma like what, more importantly why was Jack upset." She said confused , although I knew her, and I knew she was actually quite excited about this whole situation, cause even though he used to pretend it I knew she really did like Jack and Conor.
I couldn't tell her why Jack was upset cause that was a whole other story so I just decided to carry on telling her what happened.
"We decided to go clubbing and I am pretty sure some of they boys came with us."
"What do you mean 'pretty sure'" I could feel her imaginary speech marks on 'pretty sure'
"Look I was wasted alright" she wasn't too shocked as she was quite used to me being in that state.
"Me and Jack were having a great time, I was having a great time with everyone and that is all I remember."
"Right so what is so bad abut all of it then, it sounds like you had a great time."
"Well I think I may have slept with Jack."
" and why is that so bad. Thought you liked him"
" I do but what about Conor."
"Well are you guys exclusive"
"NO BUT SLEEPING WITH HIS BROTHER IS A BIT DIFFERENT TO A RANDOM GUY IMI!!"
I was getting really upset, I was crying and in frustration I had spoken a little too loudly. Jack then turned around then Imi went
"Look Gemma, are you ok? Just I don't know, you fucked up and you need to sort it out, OK." She said in a calm tone. That was why I loved Imi, she told me the truth, the truth that I needed to hear. I thanked her and told her I had to go. I hung up and me and Jack were just left their staring at each other. I was still only in underwear. I quickly realised I was naked and grabbed a shirt off the floor, it was one of jacks. It smelt like his aftershave, I loved it. He then said in a croaky sexy voice
'Good morning"
"Morning, you felling better?" Trying to make the situation less awkward.
"Much better than you" he smirked and looked quite smug.
"Look I need to go but don't tell Conor, I will sort this out later."
"Where you going?"
Let's just say I forgot i wasn't telling him.
"Oh I'm seeing the whole family for lunch."
"Who Bronte?"
"Yeah" CRAP, hungover me fucked up (I'm pretty sure I was still a bit drunk though)
"Right, um well ok can I come."
I thought ' hmmm let me think, no cause A you are not my boyfriend and B, no cause your my cousins ex as well as her baby daddy.'
Instead I kinda may have said yes. Look before you get mad, I panicked. I mean I don't really have an excuse other than I was still a bit drunk at that point.

I then went into conors room, feeling bad about what happened last night. I had so many questions going round my head, Does he know? Should I tell him? Does he care? Am I stupid. of course he cared. I walked in, forgetting I was still in jacks shirt. Conor was asleep still so I climbed into bed and wrapped my arms around him. he was warm and soft and I ran my hands through his cute curly hair, giving me a slight smirk on my face. He turned and he smiled at me. I smiled back. I offered to go and get some coffee. He nodded in a sleepy way, he was so cute. Just in this moment of happiness I was experiencing, Conor turned around and said,
"Umm Gemma why are you wearing jacks shirt?"
"Oh .." SHIT, WHAT DO I SAY.
"Oh um well it was clean from the wash and I was cold."
"And I don't remember you coming to bed last night."
"Oh no you umm went straight to bed and I stayed up a bit longer." 'I mean I'm basically the next Angelina Jolie'
So I thought but I don't think Conor bought it.
"Right... Ok"
I ran out of there to make some coffee.

Whilst we were drinking our coffee in the kitchen, cause Conor had decided to get up, because the last time he had coffee in bed he burnt himself.
I was about to call my grandma to see if it was ok if Jack came. I mean it was a little late now but I thought it would be fun anyways, and it would be quite enjoyable to watch if I was perfectly honest, so I still wanted Jack to come. I suddenly blurted out to Conor, " hey so you know how I'm having this family thing later, well do you want to come cause I think Jack is." Although this was the last thing I wanted, cause my family would get so wrapped up in bf and gfs, as you know, but if Jack was going it would just make Conor even more suspicious, and I didn't want my cousin thinking I was going out with Jack, so I thought i might aswell.

Conor agreed and I called my grandma to see if it was ok and she was fine with it. I had to rush of to go with my family cause my mum thinks we're always late and we always arrive 30 mins early. I said I would text the directions to Conor and they could come later.

I had arrived at my grandmas and said hello, I then had to explain to my mum the situation, that was going to be fun. I mean i was planning on telling a complete lie, but I thought she would hopefully buy it...
"So mum, some friends I met recently are coming."
" Gemma this is not acceptable!"
"I have already asked grandma and she said its fine."
" Gemma, you are a nightmare, what are these friends called?"
"Just wait, you'll know who they are when they arrive, I hope"
She looked confused but didn't say anything else, and with that my cousins arrived.
We all said hello, and I knew Bronte hadn't told anyone she was pregnant but I could see that she was showing a little, hopefully everyone will just think she is bloated or something cause my family would not deal with this situation very well.

We had all sat down in the garden, I was on my phone when I got a text from Jack saying they were here, omg was I excited to see this whole thing happen.
I excused my self and walked outside, I don't think anyone could see me. I kissed Conor hello, let's hope no one saw me, and hugged Jack, basically for moral support. Jack then said
"Wow, it hasn't changed" then I remembered, oh yeah.. Jack has been here before and everyone already knew him, I mean could it get any better. I gave them a briefing.
"So guys this is what is going to happen, you are MY FRIENDS and yeah that's it."
"Why the fuck would your friends come to you're family lunch???" I mean fair point but...
"Have you got a better idea?"
He was silent
I giggled and said " right Jack you can talk to Bronte but just not too loudly cause no one else knows."
"Knows what, wait as in Taylor, wait is she you're cousin?"
"Yes Conor she is, and that's why Jack has been here before." He looked confused but luckily asked no more questions.
We headed to the door and said "by they way my whole family knows who you are cause I used to not shut up about you two when I was younger so. Oh and also, no one but my grandma and mum are expecting you"
There faces fell and looked concerned.
"Ok" said Jack confused.
"I'll explain later" they excepted it.
We walked in and I introduced them both. My grandma and everyone else turned to say hello and then apart from a gasp from my mum, there was SILENCE, NOTHING, NOT EVEN A WORD. My family were in shock that theses people were here, including Bronte. Well this
was going to be entertaining....
