Sick Little Games [Jack Barakat]

I Hear She's Pregnant

June 18

I carefully unwrapped myself from a sleeping Jack's arms and tip toed out of the room. I shut the door behind me and headed downstairs. Normally, I would play some music as I did all of this, but I really couldn't wake him up. 

I headed into the downstairs bathroom and pulled out the clothes I hid in there the night before. I pulled on a grey short sleeved shirt and a black skater skirt. It had pink flowers on it. I pulled on a pair of black flats and some jewlery. I did my make up and curled my hair quickly.

I ran out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. I fed Bella before starting to make Jack breakfast. About ten minutes later, I was walking up the stairs with a tray in my hands. On it, it had a stack of pancakes, toast, sausage, bacon and some orange juice.

I walked into the room to see Jack now cuddling with my pillow. I laughed slightly and set the tray down on the side table. I leaned over and pressed a kiss to his lips. The corners quickly rose up into a smile and his eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning." I smiled.

"Morning." He rubbed his eyes.

"Happy Birthday, Jack-ooo." I ruffled his already messy hair.

"Thank you." He yawned and sat up, "Why do I smell food?"

I grabbed the tray and set it on his lap. "Because I made you breakfast in bed."

"Aw, Maddy." He picked up the fork. "You didn't have to."

"Yeah, but I fucking did. So, eat up and get ready. I let you sleep in but remember, we're having people over at three."

He nodded and began to eat. I grabbed the remote and sat next to him ontop of the covers. I clicked on the tv and waited for him to finish. "Are you excited?" I smiled.

"For?"

"I dunno. How does it feel to be the big two six?" I asked.

"You tell me. Little miss a month and two days older than me." He smirked.

"Oh shush."

I sat down in a chair next to Lisa, a beer in my hand. 

"Hey, Mad." She smiled.

"What's up Lise?" I smiled back.

"Not much. Just laughing at Alex getting his ass kicked in bags." She pointed over at Rian and Flyzik vs. Alex and Chris playing bean bags. "YOU SUCK, GASKARTH!" She shouted as he threw.

The bag flew about three feet to the left of the board. He looked over at us, "LOVE YOU TOO, LISE!"

Lisa and I laughed before she asked, "Where's Jack?"

"Who knows." I said, "I haven't seen him since the first guests arrived."

"Damn." She said, sipping from her drink. "Hey, Maddy." 

I gave her a questioning look. She leaned in closer to me and whispered, "I heard Cassadee's pregnant."

"Bullshit." I said looking at Cass. She was standing across the patio, laughing at something May - Jack's sister - was telling her.

Lisa sat back in her seat, "That's what the press is saying."

"The press makes up shit all the time." I said, "I can't believe you fell for it."

She shrugged, "I believe it." 

I sighed. There's Lisa again. Your typical gossip girl.
