Then Again, Maybe Not. (Our2ndlife fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Four

(Lexi's POV)

It was really awkward for me being all lovey-dovey. I've never really had a boyfriend, well I have but they used me so we never did half the shit Kian and I do. This is the first relationship I actually feel comfortable being in, the first that I'm happy about. I love Kian, I really do... And that's why it's awkward for me, I've never really had experience. I wonder if Kian has...

I shake that thought out of my head and roll over on the bed. "Why don't we go check on Haley and Jc, eh?" I sigh. "So now we're Canadian, eh?" he replies. I shrug. "Eh, why not?" we both laugh. We start to walk down down the stairs with our fingers intertwined. We find Jc and Haley are hugging tightly. I look at Kian and smile brightly, thinking about how cute they look. I run over to them and hug both of them from the side. "Group huuuggg!!" Kian laughs and joins on the other side while Jc and Haley look a bit surprised but laugh along. We all depart and I face Haley. She looks like she needs a hug. "Oh, Haley. I'm so sorry," I say while wrapping my arms around her shoulders. She laughs a little and I step away, confused. "I'm fine, I promise. I already talked it over with Jc so it's all good." She gestures her head towards Jc when she mentions his name. "Just remember, 'to anyone that ever told you you're no good, they're no better'," Kian pipes in, then winks at me. "Hayley Williams quote, right?" I can't help but smile at him, he knows she's my favorite singer. Kian nods and smiles, Haley clears her throat and takes a step towards Kian. "True Kian, and you know what? You know why I don't care that Leah's going to forever be a b*tch towards me? 'I don't care if the world or anyone in it tries to drag me down, because I know that in the end they will be the ones left tired from the struggle to hold me back.'" Haley holds her head up high, smiling at me, and adds, "See? Kian's not the only one who knows Hayley Williams quotes."

I push her shoulder playfully, "Okay, too many Haleys talking at once..." Kian chuckles and lets his eyes wander. He walks over to the table we were doing our crafts at. "Hey Lexi look, these letters spell my name!" He says so joyful and innocently. I mentally facepalm myself and stand next to him. "That was kind of the point, genius." He looks at me and gives a sweet smile. I smile back and he leaves a small peck on my cheek. "You're such a sweet, beautiful girl." I can't help but blush at his comment. Normally I would argue with him, cause well I'm not sweet or beautiful, but right now I really don't care. He's such a sweetheart.

(Jc's POV)

As far as Lexi and Haley know, we're just going to the movies tomorrow. What Kian and I didn't tell them is that we're having a mini party thing going on after the movie. We're inviting our parents over to meet our girlfriends. It's only been about a week and a half with me and Haley but things are already getting to be serious, somewhat. Serious enough for her to meet my parents. The thing I'm worried about is my mother and father. They can't be in a room together without killing eachother. I don't want them to scare Haley off or anything; I have to make sure they cooperate and accept her. Accepting her is another thing I'm worried about. I bite my lip as I think about how they'll take her tattoos... They flipped out when I got this little cloud tattoo on my wrist, what are they gonna do when they see she's got a whole sleeve? See, when I was younger they wanted me to be their little goody-goody. Hah, as if. Why be a goody-goody when this world is so complex and there are so many things you could do to actually have fun? But yeah, they disapproved of my whole style when I started getting into pennyboarding and heavier music, started swearing, got my gages and tattoo, they disapproved of almost everything I did even though it was just the normal shit a teenager does. Haley's got the same style. I'm more worried about what they'll say to Haley than what they'll actually think. I don't want them to hurt her.

"You okay babe?" Haley looks at me a bit concerned as I slip out of my daze. I smile at her and grab her by the waist, kissing her forehead lightly. "Always baby, as long as I'm with you." She wraps her arms around my middle section and squeezes me into a tight hug. "Jc, I love you." I love hearing those words coming from her more than anything in the world. "I love you too Haley, more than three simple words can even express." I twirl her around and she shows that beautiful, gleaming smile I always love to see. I set her still giggling body down to see Kian and Lexi giving us the "can-you-please-save-that-for-later-when-I'm-not-around" look. I laugh and flick Kian off playfully. Haley giggles, which you don't see her do too often. "See, Haley thought it was cute. Go screw yourself, bro!" I laugh and Haley joins me. "What about Lexi?!" Kian asks stupidly. Lexi just stands there awkardly looking at the ceiling wondering why the f*ck he said that as I bend over laughing. "Only you, Kian, only you..." "Well I would hope so, I don't want anyone else screwing her..." Kian replied under his breath. Lexi has her head bent down, rubbing her forehead and doing a terrible job at holding her laughter in.

(Haley's POV)

When those perverted weirdos were done talking about screwing Lexi, I suggested going out to eat for lunch. I think tonight I'll have Jc stay over, I know it was supposed to be my weekend with Lexi but since we're going out with them tomorrow we might as well be together. Jc's driving us to lunch since they came here in his car. I'm next to him, obviously and I press the button for the radio to turn on. It started playing "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore, Lexi's favorite band, and I knew what was coming next. Lexi bends forward from the backseat and hits my arm. "Turn it up turn it up turn it up!!" She exclaims with every slap of her hand. "Alright, alright!" I raise one hand to shut her up, "Now shut the f*ck up and sit down, biatch." She giggles and flops back. I laugh and turn the volume knob up and hear Hayley Williams's voice shouting through the speakers. Lexi and Kian start to sing along in the back and I look at Jc, laughing. "So what are you gonna do, when the world don't orbit around you?! Woah!!" They shout along and start dancing like morons, then erupt into an episode of laughter. "Gee, you couldn't be any louder, could you?" I exclaim and laugh a bit at how weird they look.

Jc slides his right hand off the steering wheel and slips it into my left hand, right in between the seats. I look at him with hope in my eyes, his beautiful chocolate brown eyes staring right back. I love him. I hope things start to get a bit serious with us. I mean we practically live together already, so maybe it is getting serious? I can't really tell...

We decide on going to KFC since Jc drove the wrong direction and it's already getting dark out, at this point we could eat almost anything. The four of us walk in, Jc's arm wrapped around my shoulder, Lexi and Kian holding hands. Looking at the menu above the cashier lady, I accidentaly bump into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it..." "It's okay, I--" brushing off his pants, he looks up and sees Lexi. He stops mid-sentence and starts like checking her out or something... Can't he see she's with Kian?

This kid looks about our age, a little shorter than Jc and a LOT shorter than Kian because well. It's Kian. He's got brown hair that's been frisked upwards with what looks like two handfuls of gel. Brown eyes to match his hair, and not to mention his lip ring on the side of his mouth. He reaches his hand out to shake Lexi's, not even finishing his sentence to me. Well then. "Hey, I'm Sam," he says to Lexi and winks, with his hand still extended. She takes a quick glance at his hand and slowly shakes her head. "Uh, no thanks..." she mutters. Kian begins to look uncomfortable, licming his lips and tightening up.

This guy who claims his name is Sam takes a step back when he notices Kian getting all defensive. "Hey, well if you're ever interested, just gimme a call." He does the 'call' symbol thingy and winks at Lexi again, budging right inbetween her and Kian on his way out the door.
