Glass Facades

Chapter four

"What on Earth were you thinking?!" My aunt yelled and grabbed both Logan and Jay by their ears.

Aunt Amalie had opened the door and I had never seen her so furious. She yelled for five minutes non stop on the porch to the point where the neighbour's dog was barking at her.

She then pushed the three of us inside.

"Don't you realize how stupid that was?" She said and as far as she wasn't furious anymore it was very obvious she was pissed. "I'm trying to enroll Willow, and that won't happen if they find you corrupting her and making her invade private property!"

"But no one saw us," Jay said but after the look his mum shot him he closed his mouth and kept it shut.

"I can't believe I went outside for ten minutes to buy a carton of milk and you three disappeared and broke inside the school!" She said passing around the living room, every once in a while glaring in our direction. "Listen to me very carefully. I don't care that sheriff Becker let you go, the three of you are still grounded. Jay, Logan, no video games for the next week and a half."

"But the championship is on the next weekend!" My cousin cried jumping to his feet.

"Please, let us play this weekend, otherwise Reese will crush us!" Logan urged my aunt.

"Please!" My cousin begged and wrapped his arms around his mum's leg. "We'll do anything! We'll stay grounded for a month, just let us play!"

"You can compete in the next tournament." My aunt said and shook Jay off her leg. "And Logan, your parents and I agreed that you two need to split up a bit."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jay asked suddenly scared.

"You can't stop us from being friends," Logan said putting a hand on Jay's shoulder.

These two were like flesh and bone and they were so fucking adorable. I had never had a friendship as theirs. Just looking at them made my heart warm up. And it also kind of made me feel like puking but it was mostly the warm feeling.

"You both know we would never do such thing." My aunt dismissed that thought with a wave of her hand. "But we decided that for a month, just this month, you are both sleeping in your own houses."

Logan's jaw fell to the floor and stared with wide eyes at my aunt.

Jay also seemed horrified after what my aunt had just said. Had they really never been prohibited to sleep over in each other's house?

"You can't be serious."

"I'm being completely serious boys. You guys just invaded the school over some itching powder, for the love of God! You need to bring it down a notch. Logan, go home, I believe your parents also want to talk to you.

Logan gave her one last pleading look which my aunt ignored, and after shooting Jay and me an apologetical look he walked out the door.

"Now you two." She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed suddenly looking exhausted. "I want you to understand that Logan's dad being the sheriff doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want."

"We know," Jay mumbled, not looking up to face his mum.

"I know you never get into serious trouble, but you won't always manage to escape the problems those actions bring you."

"We know."

"I want you to take care of Willow, okay? You're good boys. You just need to show the rest of the world that. Now order a pizza, yeah? All this mess made me hungry and it's time for lunch." Aunt Amalie pinched Jay's cheek and even though he tried to hide it a smile crept into his face.
