A Lucky Catch

Chapter 12

We were back in LA from the two series in Seattle and Oakland. We just landed late at night and I just wanted to sleep in my own bed. Ethan and I had an uber ready for us to send us home. We were waiting outside with the rest of the team and my eyes were so ready to fall asleep. I decided to lay down on mine and Ethan's luggage. I told myself that I was only going to rest my eyes but I guess it turned into me falling asleep. I heard laughing and saw bright lights in my face. I opened my eyes and saw Joc, Corey, Charlie, and Trayce taking pictures of me. As soon as they saw me wake up they tried to play it off and blame it on one another.

"I hate you guys so much." I said throwing my nike sandal at them.

"She gets grumpy when she doesn't get sleep so I wouldn't mess with her if I were you guys." Ethan said trying to save the guys from being killed.

Our Uber showed up quickly after that and took us to my house. I was too tired to take Ethan to my mom's house and I didn't trust sending him in an Uber alone so he stood over with Layla and I.

I was fast asleep until I heard banging and the constant ring of the doorbell. I got out of bed and looked at my phone to see what time it was. It was 3 in the morning and I was scared about what I would find at the door. I grabbed my phone and a bat that I had in the hallway closet and slowly walked to the door.

I looked into the peephole and saw that it was Joc. I quickly opened the door and he was drunk off his ass.

"Joc what the hell are you doing here? And why are you drunk at 3 in the morning!?" I yelled helping him inside.

"I tried looking for a girl friend. Nobody wants me. You didn't even want me Lani." he said starting to get mad.

"Joc what are you talking about. Any girl would be lucky to have you. I'm not that girl though Joc." I said hugging him to try and calm him down. He was now in my arms crying. He had a bad stench of alcohol and can't imagine how much he drank. I was running my fingers through his hair trying to get him to fall asleep. We were on the couch and he was fast asleep.

I am worried about him because he has been super off lately and I thought it was just because he is in a slump. Now that I think about it, I think the slump is from this.

It was now the morning and I felt my body being smashed. I opened my eyes and Joc's big head was laying on stomach. I slowly slip my body from under him and walk into the dining room to see a irritated Corey glaring out the window.

"Hey baby, how did you get in?" I asked walking towards him. He glared at me with a mad look and I was so confused why he was like that. "Babe, what's wrong?" I asked sitting next to him.

"Don't babe me. Your brother let me in but then I see my best friend and girlfriend sleeping together. " he said pointing at the couch.

"Are you serious right now? He came over and woke me up the 3 in the morning drunk as hell. I am his best friend! I am going to be there for him when he is upset, even if that means calming him down. Yeah he fell asleep on me, but I would not do that to you Corey and you should know that!" I yelled at him getting up pissed. He put his head down because he realized that was a low blow and wasn't necessary.

"I'm sorry, I just came over to surprise you and saw you laid up with Joc." he said admitting he was jealous.

"You don't ever have to worry about Joc and I babe. I like that you get jealous, but you should never get jealous over that dork." I said as I sat in his lap.

We decided to go lay in bed and watch a movie for a while until Joc wakes up. We were bundled up in blankets and watching Corey's favorite, New Girl.
