A Girl In The Band

N I N E

Emily pov

Ever since the day I signed the contract, I've been able to send mom some money.

Aspen has also been coming over a lot more than usual.

What makes me angry is that Jack seems into it.

He doesn't mind it but everyone else does.

He's making me seriously so jealou-

Stop.

Don't say it.

You don't like him.

You don't like anyone.

But, anyway, I'm going to make him jealous.

I'm gonna fake date Jonah because I don't want to admit it but he's seriously making me so mad.

First he said he loves me, then he gives me a nickname.

"Blondie"

What the frick.

It's like he knows.

I think he's trying to make me jealous with Aspen.

So, I'm going to give him a taste of his own medicine.

I woke up and got dressed.

I also am going to one of Nicole's classes later.

I texted Jonah.

Me: hey can you come to my room?

Jonah: I'll be there in a minute.

Soon enough, he knocked.

I let him in and explained everything.

I know he likes me so I hope I don't ruin everything.

"What's your point?" He asks.

"I want to take date you to make Jack jealous." I say bluntly.

"Emily, I don't know if I can." He says.

"Please." I whine.

"Fine, I'll do it, but under one circumstance." He said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The most I'm doing is pecking you. I'm not gonna do all that." He said.

"Deal." I said.

-

We sit on the couch and he grabs my hand.

Jack notices me and I see him shoot Jonah a glare.

It's working already

"Bab- Emily do you want to go get some food?" He asks.

"Babe?" Jack asks a little mad.

"Don't worry about them Jack. You have me." Aspen says.

He shut his mouth.

"Sure." I reply to Jonah's initial question.

He helps me up and holds me close to his body on the way out the door.

"Dang jonah." I say.

"You asked for this." He says.

"I did didn't I?"

-

When we get home I go up to my room.

I get e text from Jack.

Jack: what's with you and jonah?

Me: why?

Jack: because I want to know.

Me: it's none of your business

Jack: ...

I'm not gonna say we are dating because that seems so cruel.

Time skip to about a week of fake dating.

"Can y'all stop it's making me sick." Aspen complained.

"Sorry princess, do you need some water too?" I asked.

She snickered.

"Seriously what are yall?" Jack asks.

"I told you to stop worrying Jack. You have me." Aspen tapped in.

"Well, Aspen, I don't fucking want you." He says and walks off.

She follows him.

Jonah gives me a high five.

-

Jack is getting really annoyed.

He's been pushing Aspen away more and more.

I appreciate it but he should have done it a long time ago.

-

We all decided that when Aspen left we would make a fire in the fire pit and talk outside.

It was a little chilly so I used a blanket.

I cuddled up next to Jonah.

Everyone else joined and them we started talking.

"How did you meet Corbyn Emily?" Daniel asked.

"Well, when Christina started dating Corbyn she told dad first. I don't know why but I guess he didn't care as much as mom. She told mom last so next was me. She texted me to come in her room and I did. And there he was. I was like who tf are you." I said laughing.

That was a mouthful.

"Yeah you litteraly cussed me out while questioning me. Christina just laughed." Corbyn said.

I laugh a little more.

It was really nice.

We just sat around a warm fire feeling the heat waves against our faces.

Jack started talking.

"Aspen is starting to piss me off. I don't know what to do." He stated.

"Tell her off." I said.

She deserves it.

"Why don't you?" He asked.

"Cause she'll have something smart to say. And, she a lot prettier than me anyway." I say.

"That's not true." They all say at the same time.

I just sigh.

I know it's not true.

I can still imagine right?

Right?
