Jay's POV:

Paul and I were driving in his truck to Billy's house and I was trying not to undress him with my eyes.

"So what's your story?" I ask Paul,

"I don't have one." He smiles, and I attempt not to swoon.

"Everyone has a story!" I grin at him,

"What's your story then?" He asks,

"Well, I'm 16, I love track and running. I like listening to music. I love my motorcycle. Boom, nailed it." I say jokingly smug.

"Fine. I'm 16, nearly 17. I like sports. I like fixing up cars and stuff. I like the beach and cliff diving too," He rattles off,

"Touché," I reply. We pull up outside Jake and Billy's place and I grin.

"Thanks, Paul! You coming in?" I say excitedly,

"Sure," He shrugs. I jump out of the car and fast walk up to the door. I knock on it and it eventually opens. In front of me is Billy Black. He looks older in his wheelchair but he still has a warm and kind face.

"Billy!" I exclaim, hugging him.

"Johanna?" He asks,

"In the flesh!" I grin pulling back.

"You've grown so big. You're a woman now!" I laugh and give him a twirl.

"How are you?"

"Great! How are you?" Billy asks, wheeling back a little to let us move inside if we wanted.

"Fine as always."

"Oh hello, Paul." Billy says noticing him.

"Hey Billy." Paul replies nodding. My phone buzzes in my pocket and I whip it out.

Bella: Hurry up. I'm leaving in ten.

Me: Be there soon grumpy

"Billy, I'm sorry we have to go, even though we just got here. Bella's getting antsy." I say with a soft smile.

"Sure. We'll catch up later no doubt?" He says,

"Without a doubt." I smile and peck his cheek, while he gives Paul a knowing smile.

"Bye Billy!" I call as I jog to Paul.

"Bye Jojo," He grins. Paul and I get in his truck.

"So do you guys have many parties around here?" I ask,

"Yeah. I'll take you to one if you want," He smirks,

"Sure, sounds good, are they good?" I laugh.

"Yeah, I guess, it'll be better when you're there." 

"Oh, yeah, huh? We'll see." He smiles, glancing from the road to my face.

"Mm, we'll see."

 We sit in silence after that until we pull up at Emily's.

"So do you maybe,uh um, want to go out with me... sometime? I mean if you want?" Paul stutters and it's weird to see him like that, what with him being so buff.

"Sure. What's your number?" I say happily, my stomach doing flips. I put my number into his phone before going inside grinning like an idiot.

"Let's go," Bella demanded pulling me out the door as soon as I walked through it.
