A Better Best Friend

9

The next morning I decided I'd dress up a little bit for Jack. I wore light was jeans with no rips, I maroon sweater over a white short sleeve shirt, and some white vans. I went downstairs and saw Garret throw a glass of milk at Darian, the glass busted on his forehead and cut him very badly. Darian screamed

"Hey what the hell are you doing?" I yelled running down the steps. My mom and dad were right behind me. Darian was on the floor bleeding and crying. I grabbed a squirt bottle and filled it with water and the added a small bit of peroxide, then
I grabbed a rag and a roll over paper towels. I handed it to my mom,

"Thanks sweetie, I'll take care of this." She said. I don't know how she can stay so calm, Darian was screaming not even crying anymore just screaming. My dad and Garrett were screaming at each other, I started walking towards the door when I heard a loud smack. Everything went dead silent and I turned around to see garret holding his hand and my dad bringing his arm back from clearly slapping the shit out of Garrett.

"Jeremy!" My mom yelled. My dad had an 'Oh my god' looks on his face and I think my mom understood. 

"He can't do something like this and not get punished for it, he's too old. So give me your phone, I'm taking your Xbox, your tv, and you aren't allowed to hang out with your friends for two months." My dad said calmly. Garrett got a look on his face like he was about to cry.

"2 months? Are you kiddi-" my dad cut him off.

"Do you want to make it 3 young man? You just seriously injured your brother apologize to him, and to your sister too for making her see all of this, and your mother because now she's gonna have to take a day off of work and not make any money, and to me because of the same reason and for speaking to me in a disrespectful manner." He said. My dad is so petty, I know that on the inside he wants to start laughing, but he has to keep a straight face.

"I'm sorry." Garrett mumbled looking at his feet.

"Can't hear you." My dad said.

"I'm sorry!" Garrett yelled looking at my dad.

"One, more, time!" My dad yelled looking up at the ceiling with his hands up in the air.

"IM SORRY!" Garrett screamed at the top of his lungs crying, he ran up toward his room. My dad jumped and pointed at him before yelling,

"Apology not accepted." Garrett slammed his door. My mom looked up and smiled,

"You feel better after your little show?" My dad giggled.

"I sure do." He grabbed some children Motrin and then gave it to Darian, his face was starting to get very white. My mom leaned over and looked at him.

"It's about we get to the hospital, Lys please make sure you get to school on time, and don't tell the teachers what's going on is rather not be the talk of the town." I nodded and left. I walked over to Emily's and knocked on the door.

"Hello you in there?" She didn't answer then I heard a car horn and jumped about 300 feet into the air, I turned around and saw Jack.

"Good morning jump man. You need a ride?" He asked.

"Yeah I do I don't know where Emily is." I said. Jack smiled,

"Sounds like you were a hop, skip, and a jump away from catching your ride." He giggled. "Don't worry though, just hop in the back and we'll get you to school." I got in, when I got in and we started to drive away I saw Emily come out of her house, she made a face at me like she was sad. I texted her

Lys-Sorry I didn't know where you were
Em-You didn't wait
Lys-I did wait and then Jack pulled up and asked if I wanted a ride so I said yes
Em-Everything is all about Jack now
Lys-I'm dating him why is that so bad??
Em-You've been dating for two days, you've barely been talking to me
Lys-I'm sorry
Em-Were best friends, but you aren't acting like it
Lys-I'll try harder but I'm at school

I turned my phone off, we weren't actually at school we were like 5 minutes away. Jack turned around and looked at me, he was smiling but his smile faded away almost immediately,

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked. I didn't think that I was so easy to read, but maybe it's just Jack.

"Today has already been rough, I'll tell you about it later." I said. He squinted for a second,

"Okay?" He said. He turned back around and turned on some music. The first song he played was Candy Paint by Post Malone which is a song that I love. He turned around smiling because he knows how much I love this song. We both started singing along

"Half price my whip, same price my watch. Got no jumper, but I ball a lot. Bitch I'm young Stoney I'll do what I want." We sang in unison.

"Hey language." His mom said. We both started laughing.

"Damn I love paper like I'm Michael Scott!" Jack screamed. He sure does love the office. We pulled into the school parking lot and walked back to the usual spot and sat down on the steps. Jack sat next to the wall and I sat next to him, I leaned my head and exhaled heavily. He rubbed my hair,

"Lys what happened?" He asked. I looked up at him, he really can read me like a book.

"This morning Garrett threw a glass cup at Darians head and it busted and cut him, and now Emily is mad at me because I rode to school with you instead of here." I said. He gave me puppy dog eyes and liked out his lip.

"Awe I'm sorry babe." He said. That's the first time he's called me babe. "The day can only get better, and I'm sure it will." He said. He cupped the sides of my face and kissed me. It was so passionate it sent explosive waves of warmth through me that eventually covered my whole body. His lips are so soft, his breath is so fresh, his hands are so gentle. Jack is perfect. I pulled away and smiled,

"The day really can get better." I said still smiling.

"I told you." He grabbed my hand and held it firmly, I put my head back on his shoulder. Then Finn and Emily cane around the corner laughing, Jaeden was behind then, Emily spoke,

"Oh, hey guys." She said in a somewhat rude tone.

"Ok?" Jack said.
