*Jack's POV*
Once Gerard got dressed and we woke the others, we all gathered in the kitchen to eat. It was already eleven sixteen. Hopefully Mom would be able to join us for lunch or something. As we were eating, I heard the door unlocking and jumped up, followed by Frankie. As we got over to the door, expecting to see Mom, we were surprised, but equally as happy. I jumped into my older brother's arms. "Elliot!" I yelled loudly, making my nineteen year old brother laugh. I then hugged Oliver just as tightly. The twins smiled at us, greeting us both. We didn't question why they were here, simply enjoyed it. We introduced them to all of our friends. They already knew Mitch and Hayley, but the rest were new faces. Mitch leaned over and whispered to me: "Damn, your sister grew into her looks." I gaped at him and popped his cheek lightly. "No, Mitch." He rubbed his cheek, pouting. Elliot and Oliver sat down with us, getting some breakfast of their own. Someone had trailed in after them. Someone I hadn't noticed.
Alex. My other brother. I hugged the other fourteen year old and did the same thing I had done with O and E, introducing the shy boy to our friend. He mumbled a hi and sat down next to me. The other girls got texts from their moms, telling them they needed to come home. They said goodbye happily, Buzzers kissing Mitch's cheek, Meg doing the same for Ray. Amy went up to Frank, hugged him, whispered something to him, then planted a kiss on his cheek as well. They then left. Elliot mouthed to Frank: 'Get some, bro.' Frank flicked him off and I giggled. Oliver cleared her throat, getting all of our attention. "Okay, so I guess you're wondering why we've gathered you all here today." That earned a maniacal laugh from Elliot. Oliver continued: "So, Frank and Jack's mom has asked us to take you guys somewhere this week. She said that you could bring friends, as long as it was okay with their moms and us, and of course it's okay with us." I smiled and motioned to everyone around the table. Mikey, Gerard, Ray, Mitch, and Hayley. And us, of course. Oliver nodded, grinning. "Of course. But you guys don't even know where we're going yet, and you won't know until we get there. We're leaving tomorrow, I'll talk to you guys' parents, if you need me to." We all nodded, each of the guys getting out their phones to call their parents. Mikey And Hayley chatted, since their brothers were on the phones, they needed need to call. I patiently tapped my fingers, an old OCD related habit. Finally, one by one, the guys got permission from their parents. I tapped Ollie. "Hey Ol, can you tell me where we're going?" She shook her head, a smile on her face. "But you should be excited, Jack-O." I rolled my eyes and finished my pancakes. I poked Gerard. "Hey Gee, your mom said yes, hm?" He nodded, smiling. "Yeah. Where do you think we're going?" I shrugged. "Knowing Oliver and Elliot, especially when Alex is with them, anywhere is possible. But it should be good." He grinned. "Then I can't wait." I smiled back at him. I think I might know what I want from him. I'm fairly certain I'll be sure soon. I think I'll tell him on our apparent vacation.
*Mitch's POV*
Oliver really grew up. Damn, she was pretty. Way too old for me, but definitely pretty. Not as pretty as Buzzers, though. But I could never tell her that. I've been fooling around with Oliver since I could talk. I'd actually liked Buzzers since forth grade, when she beat up that kid who was calling me a fag. Fourth grade. Yeah. We had always been fairly good friends, but that's what really got me into her. She kissed my cheek before she left today. Sigh. I wish she was coming. Maybe I could ask Jack. Maybe. I don't really want to give away my crush though. Jack has suspected it before, so I guess it's not a huge deal. I watched Gerard and Jack chat and laugh. I had to resist the urge to scream: 'Get a room!' Jack would have killed me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Elliot smiling at his sister and the black haired boy. He leaned down next to me and whispered: "That kid, Gerard, he's a good guy, right?" I nodded. He smiled. "Good. I can tell they're gonna get together at some point. Just wanted to know if Jack-O was making the right choices." I nodded again. He smiled at me and walked away.
*Jack's POV*
After I finished talking to Gerard, I went to talk to Oliver. She spoke softly, so the others couldn't hear: "So, that guy, Gerard. You like him?" I sighed and whispered back: "I don't know, Ollie. It's really not fair to him." She nodded. "Think about it some. Don't over think it, though. Give it some time and you can figure it out. Maybe you'll figure it out over the vacation." She smiled. I smiled back. "Maybe I will. But he's way too sweet a guy to put up with all the teasing I've put him through. I have no idea why he would like me." She smiled and murmured: "He sees the fire in you, Jack. The compelling, hot tempered, shy, anxiety filled, depressed, sweet, and amazing fire. You could probably do anything to that kid, and he will most likely still think the sun shines out your ass." I giggled. "Thanks, Ollie. I can't wait for tomorrow." Oliver smiled. "Me either, girlie."
/Ah. So where do you think they're going? I know, of course c; But so you? Probably not. -Mikezy\
