HARDBALL - Jake Paul

.:21:. -My Brother Made Me-

JAKES P.O.V

By the time we finished eating at the resturant, paparazzi was already outside so I walked with Erika out the back door quietly.

"Jake where are we going." 

"Out the back door."

"Why exactly?" 

"There are so many paparazzi's outside. I want to walk around a little more." I say as I wrap my arm around her neck.

"Okay, where do we go? What do we do?" Erika asks, slipping her hands into the back of my jean pockets and pulls me closer.

"Not make out in public."

We eventually leave the area because we were in the main area of where the paparazzi were. We decided to go to Taco Bell and get something small. Erika got herself a salad and I decided I will go a bit healthy by getting a salad but also getting a burrito. When we ordered it and went to the pickup window, the person handing us the food was a huge fan of Erika.

"Oh my goodness! No way!" The girl shouts.

"Hahaha Hi!" Erika says as she takes off her seatbelt to reach over and shake the fans hand.

"And Jake!" She screams as I shake her hand also.

"I know its kind of an awkward spot but can I get an autograph?" The girl looked around the age of 18 and I was surprised we had fans that old. I mean I know we do but our videos are also a tad bit childish.

"Sure, do you have a piece of paper?" I ask as I pull out a pen from a dashboard pocket.

"One second!" She says as she sprints to go get a piece of paper.

"I guess we made someones day today again!" Erika says as she pulls out her phone and starts taking selfies.

"Yeah," I manage to say. I started to blush as I watch her take the selfies. My mind was in a labyrinth full of mazes and puzzles that I had to solve within a couple seconds. I couldn't stop staring but keeping my chill was even harder. My mind suddenly turned to soup when I heard the girl come back with some paper. I forgot my name and what the hell I was doing at Taco Bell.

"Jake, please! Zone back in" I hear Erika say suddenly. I snap back into reality and sign the girls paper after Erika.

We hear a couple of honks behind us and it just made me want to get out and flip everyone who was honking off.

"Oh my god thanks for coming! You guys made my day!!" She waves us off.

"I'll be there for you." Erika sings as we drive off and head home.

"Man Erika, everyone knows you around here also." I tease.

"Well that wouldn't be if it weren't for you!" She says in a cute voice.

My face turns red as I smile. I don know how I was able to get her as a girlfriend because she is just the sweetest little thing. I push aside the fact that she is a bit older and focus on the amazing personality she has.

I know Erika thinks I'm a bit over protective but its all because I'm unsure. I was not all over Alissa like "oh you hanging out with my bro? Okay." And how they were such close friends. There were moments when I was ready to be like "okay thats a bit too far" but I didn't do it because I trusted Alissa. Clearly I was wrong about that but I don't want the same thing to happen with me and Erika. If I lose Erika I don't know what I will do because she is someone I truly love. I would rarely kiss Alissa but I give Erika a kiss at least everyday.

"Jake are you done with your vlog for today?" Erika asks me as she pulls out her blog camera.

"No. I need to vlog a bit more for my peeps but I just needed to make a stop to Taco Bell because thats my real home." I say, focusing on the road.

"Okay Costellers, we are going to head back to the team ten house and maybe do a prank on the whole team with Jake." Erika says as she looks in my direction.

"Wait what are we doing?" I laugh, coming my fingers through my hair.

"We are going to do a fake hook up prank. It has been so requested." Erika laguhs as she turns off the camera and leans back in the chair.

"What about a real hook up prank." I smirk.

"Jake! Just drive." She says pointing forwards. I purposley pick up the speed and race home with Erika screaming of joy.

"Jake! Too fast! Your gonna get pulled over!" Erika screams.

"Okay." I calmly say I as I turn to our street and pull into the garage.

I get out the car faster than Erika can even take off her seatbelt. I quickly go to her side and pull her out and put her legs to my waist.

"Jake, why such a gentleman?" Erika asks as she lays her head on my chest and closes her eyes.

"No clue. I just had that random urge." I say as I close the door with my foot and lock the car moving my hand a bit from under her back so I can lock it.

I start to walk upstairs with Erika while everyone says hi.

"Hey Jake, whats on your mind." Erika asks me, looking up into my eyes. I look down to see her looking at me as I walk up the final step and head to my room. Keeping my act together, I tell her why. I expected her to know but she clearly had no clue.

I lay Erika on my couch and I sit on the end of the couch.

"Erika, you know how Alissa cheated on me with my brohter?" I whimper. " I never really was protective at all or suspicious. I knew she was super close to Logan, almost as close as me and her." I sigh loudly.

"Jake if you cant tell me its fine. I already understand." Erika says. I was already too deep to stop here. 

"When they went on a trip together...They.... Had sex and I kind of knew it as soon as they got back. I saw a huge hickey on Alissa's neck and it was right where Logans favorite spot is. I know he likes between the chin and neck to give a girl a hickey but it wasnt enough evidence. I thought of what would Alissa do but it only led me to Logan. I called him first after asking Alissa and almost breaking down. I called Logan and it took him no time to give in. He didnt hesitate." I wipe my face to get my act together. I couldnt cry about this in front of Erika.

"Jake I understand. I dont mind you how you are now. I just wanted to know why. I know the whole Alissa thing and what not. I have just recently noticed that you have all of a sudden been stressed out." Erika says as she gets up and lays her head on my shoulder. It makes me spill the beans more.

"Logan has recently called me about this girl that was aparently 'cheating' on him and the first thing I said was 'why would I care. You practically did the same thing except worse' and hung up on him. I dont feel bad but it just brings bad memories and I dont know what I will do if it happens again."  Before I can look at Erika to see her reaction, she pulls me into a warm kiss. I wrap my arms around her back and we fall down on the couch. We both laugh as I moan when we kiss.

"Jake it wont happen with me." Erika whispers, breaking the kiss. I move one of my hands to the back of her head so I can push her head closer to mine as I kiss her. All I do is laugh with her full of relief that she wont be going anywhere soon. 

"Jake. Wanna do the prank still?" She asks, putting both of her hands on my cheeks as her galaxy eyes stare into my blank eyes. 

"Yeah. How do we set up?" I ask smiriking.

"Follow my lead. Let me get my vlog camera." Erika says as she pulls me into one more kiss and moves me from on top of her. I dont know how she is able to stop, I would just like to kiss her all day.

Guess we are setting up for this hookup prank.
