The Halfway Group (book 1)

Chapter 12: Great Ideas

Jimmy's POV:

It's finally sunday, I can't believe I actually spent the weekend with Rachel. It was amazing.

With Haley passed out on the couch, I walk to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror, I hate what I see as I do everyday, a worthless sack of shit. "I hate myself, I really do."

"Oh Jimmy, don't talk like that. It isn't nice. I love you, and you should love yourself too." Rachel stands behind me leaning against the door, even when she wakes up she's super gorgeous.

"Rachel, what do we have? Like are we really dating? Or what?" I ask, I've been dreading this all weekend.

"Of course, did you think I was hanging out with you for just the weekend? That I'd sleep in your bed with you for fun? No hon, we are dating... if you want to that is."
"Yes," I may have said that a little too quickly, "I mean, I do want that." She smiles and kisses my cheek and heads back to the bedroom.  Since she teased me last night, I'll get her back.  I sneak into the room. And lay next to her, as I uncover her face she smiles at me, so I kiss her and bite her lip hard, which I found she loves.  And she started kissing me back when she was about to climb on top of me I bit her lip again, and got up to go get breakfast,  "you are so gonna get it Jimmy,"  I laugh as I run out of the room. 

Haley is still passed out on the couch so I do the only thing a good brother would do.  I grab one end of the couch and start shaking it, "EARTHQUAAAAAAKE" I have never seen Haley move as fast as she did to get off that couch. 

"You asshole! I was having a good dream."

"Well now, you'll have a good breakfast so shut ya cake hole wench." 

"Excuse me?" She hates when I say that.  "You heard me woman.  I'm making breakfast so what do you want."  Rachel comes in, wearing one of my shirts and her shorts, with her hair in a pony tail.  "Good morning Haley."

"I'm going to murder your boyfriend in a minute, Rachel."  Haley says glaring at me.

"Haley, you are a woman, you get satiated by being fed, you'll be fine."  I say, I can feel her glare through my back as I hear her get up,

"Haley, calm down, I know it's morning but-" 

"But nothing he's gonna die, and I need food." 

"Haley, you can't eat if I die, and we all know how much you love my food."  Got her, she loves my cooking more than she loves moms. 

I start cooking, and Haley soon calms as she can smell what I'm cooking, "Jimmy are you making Bs and G"  she asks.

"Hell yeah I am, it's Sunday sis, so of course." I say.  Rachel looks confused,

"What is Bs and G?"  I look at her in awe and Haley opens her big mouth. "You've never had Bs and G? It's biscuits and gravy,"  Rachel shakes her head no so I know she's definitly gonna love this.

"Hale, text or call chloe and see if she wants some."  Haley texts chloe and about 5 minutes later she's walking into the apartment and straight to the kitchen.

"Oh my god that smells amazing." She says as she hovers over my shoulder, that's the one thing that annoys me is hovering while I cook.

"Chloe, I'll ask this once, get your skinny ass out of my kitchen, or you don't get to eat."  I say as I crack a smile knowing I can't say no to her.

"Boy, like Haley said, I'll beat you for her since her hand is still fucked up, and I'll do it for me too." She punches my arm and I feel like I actually have some friends now.  Actual friends.

"Okay guys it's ready, come get it."  Haley is the first one in there as she gets her plate, second is Chloe, "you hella rock Jimmy." And finally it's Rachel who looks sort of nervous,

"Come on rache, get what you want."  I smile and nudge her forward. Haley snd Chloe are already smashing what they got,  "If you don't get some now, they'll eat it all, especially Haley." 

"Hey, I heard that asshole."

"You are such a brat." Rachel smiles as she gets her food.  We sit around the table, and eat and share stories.  We all hangout all day, and end up watching Finding Nemo.  Chloe takes Haley home and I take Rachel home. "So I'll see you at school tomorrow?  I better see you." 

"Yeah you'll see me, calm yourself." She flashes me a glare as I tell her to calm herself.  "I'll beat you, and feel no remorse. I'll see you later."  She heads into her house as I head home.

As I fall asleep Shadow meows at me happy and content that he has his spot back now.  I pet him and love on him until I fully fall asleep. Next thing I know it's 8, time for Blackhell.  I get ready, take a shower, trim my beard and put my hair in a faux hawk. 

I pull up to Blackwell as I see Rachel standing next to my spot. "Hey, babe." I say as I get out.  She kisses me and walks with me towards the entrance.  Haley is chilling at the fountain listening to her music.  I walk up and tap her shoulder, she takes her ear buds out and asks how I'm doing.  "Who are those dudes skating over there?" I ask point to three boys skating.

"That's Daniel, Trevor and Justin.  Daniel is in our class last period and the other two are just pot heads."  I smile as she says that because we are too.  They have some Eminem going as they skate and do their tricks. 

"Well guys, let's get started with classes."  I say as me and Haley stand up.  A girl runs up to us, "Hey Haley!!! Is this Jimmy?  He's so cute. Hey Rachel!"  

"Hey Dana, yes this is my brother and gross." Rachel glares at this girl named Dana, Rachel is protective of me I guess and possessive.  "He's already taken Dana back off." 

"Easy there Rachel, I didn't mean anything by it." Dana walks past me and smiles and touches my butt. I hate that so much.
