Adopted (a Fall Out Boy/Pete Wentz fan fic)

Chapter 17

Brandie's pov

I woke up in between Patrick and Pete. Both of them had an arm around my shoulder. I chuckled before smiling. I slept through the night. Without having to take huge amounts of Ambien. And I just hope the same applies for Pete. I sat up carefully and turned off the tv. I slipped down the ladder. I walked to the kitchen and took out a yogurt. I sat on the counter eating it. I swung my feet back and forth and giggled as I heard Patrick and Pete wake up. They walked into the kitchen and Pete stretched saying,

"That's the first time I've slept through the night in a while."

I nodded saying, "Me too." Patrick kissed me before chuckling,

"Your lips taste like strawberry."

Pete made a really weird sorta appalled face and said, "Bro. TMI!"

I held up my yogurt saying, "Well I'm eating strawberry yogurt."

Patrick chuckled and kissed me again before saying, "That it explains it. You're lucky I love strawberries." I blushed and he kissed me again before walking to the freezer and pulling out ego waffles. Pete grabbed 3 out of the box and Pat did the same before they fought over who was getting to use the toaster first. It was a 3 slot toaster.

I let them bicker for a while before I grabbed the other 3 slot toaster and pulled it in. I took the waffles out of their hands and put 3 in each toaster. They looked at me and I smiled before pulling down 2 plates and syrup. I also got out forks for them. I took 2 chocolate chip waffles out of the freezer from the other ego box and took out the 2 slot toaster. I put them in before getting out the chocolate ice cream and a spoon. My waffles popped up and I put one in the bottom of the bowl and scooped chocolate ice cream on top of it. I added whip cream before putting the other waffle on top and using my spoon to start eating.

"That was such an amazing idea!" Pete exclaimed.

I nodded smiling, "Yeah. Me and my dad used to do it all the time."

I made them each one and we sat around the counter and started talking about random stuff. Pete's phone rang and he picked it up putting it on speaker saying,

"Hey Ryan sup?" Pete said signalling for us to be quiet.

I heard Ryan yell something before replying, "We're all wondering where you, Brandie, and Patrick are. This is like the 6th time we called you. Not to mention Brandie and Pat.

Patrick smirked before saying, "We're in the woods. Plotting your murder! Mwahahahaha!"

I started laughing and Pete hit his head on the table while laughing, "Shut the fuck up Patrick! That's not what we're doing out here!"

I started laughing so hard I fell off my stool. Pete jumped yelling,

"Stop getting hurt!"

"Sorry! You asshats keep making me laugh! That's why I fell off the fucking stool!" I gasped I pushed myself up and took Pete's phone smiling,

"We're at my dad's old cabin in the woods. I'll text you directions if you wanna stop by. I wanna show you guys stuff."

There was shuffling before I heard Ryan laugh, "Sure. Text us we'll come up for the day." We said our goodbyes and I hung up. I tossed Pete his phone as I heard a thud. Him and Patrick were still standing.

I looked at them asking, "Did you hear that?"

They shook their heads. I heard another thud again. Closer and by the back door. Patrick and Pete straightened and stood on alert. I walked to the back door. I looked out the peep hole and laughed. It was Old Man McNarthy with his old wooden leg. He knocked and I opened the door. He used to work with my dad. His eyes scanned me before asking,

"What are you doing here miss? This is private property."

I smiled before saying, "I know. I own it Old Man McNarthy."

His eyes widened and he asked, "Little 'ol Brandie Candy?" I nodded and stepped aside smiling,

"Come in. You want some coffee?"

We hugged and he smiled, "The weekends have been lonely the past few years. It's nice to see you again. Now who's here with ya?"

I smiled before saying, "Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. Pete adopted me as his younger sister and me and Patrick are dating. You've met them once or twice."

He nodded chuckling, "You miss little Brandie Candy have done well."

A smile crept onto my face as I shut the door and I replied, "Yup. And I'm gonna be in the summer Olympics. I got the scholarship that I've been going on about since I was 7. I leave next week sometime for Alabama. I'll be outside all day working on techniques every other day. The days I'm not working on training I'll be in academics. And after academics I have 4 hours of training for a year. After the Olympics I can either go back and get more advanced training if I want to if we get gold. Anything less then gold or silver I go back or I leave."

McNarthy patted my back saying, "I'll be watching. And when you're an Olympic star you better still come back here every once in a while."

We reached the kitchen and I smiled, "Guys this is Jacob McNarthy. Or as me and my dad call him Old Man McNarthy."

Patrick stepped forward shaking his hand giving him a polite hello and Pete stepped forward and did the same. I put on a pot of coffee and made sure Ryan got the directions I texted him before we all started talking.
