Chapter 5

Garett's POV

I decided to get up from my bed after almost three hours of sleep. Fixing up my sheets, I sighed.

It was six in the morning.

I took a quick shower and put on some sweats and my running shoes. It wasn't that hot yet since it was still early so I went out of the house and started to jog.

When I was already about ten minutes into jogging, I saw a girl from afar, just sitting on the sidewalk and was facing the sky. I stood there watching her for a few more minutes but she just stayed like that. Watching the clouds pass by.

I looked like a creep just standing there and looking at her.

Then she turned her head towards where I was standing and..

..it was Quincy

Shocked, I quickly pulled my hoodie over my head so she wouldn't be able to see my face. Turning around, I let out a sigh of relief. I think she didn't see me.

I didn't know why I did that but I just suddenly panicked.

When I got back home, I saw Elizabeth in the kitchen frying eggs and sausages. I grabbed the carton of milk from the counter and drank from the lid.

"You're back early today"

"Yeah.. decided to take my shortcut"

Lie. I thought to myself. You saw Quincy that's why

"I'll be out early. Patrick's sitter will stay here for the rest of the day"

"Who? Quincy?"

She placed the plate of fried food on the table. She nodded and removed her apron.

"You know her?"

I turned away from her, "We've met.. yeah"

"Oh. That's good then. Can you wake Patrick up so you can eat together?"

"Sure"

I ran upstairs and went to Patrick's room, which was across from mine. He was sprawled at his floor, snoring. Loudly.

"Patrick.."

I poked his cheek repeatedly and he just let out these incoherent words.

"Patrick, it's time for breakfast"

Still no help.

I rolled him around side by side. That woke him up.

"Stop! My arms hurt!" letting out a groan, I helped him stand up and then we walked downstairs.

"Good morning sweetie, Quincy will be here in the afternoon okay? Eat up you two!"

She kissed Patrick on top of his head and patted me on the back then went out the door. Patrick and I quietly ate our breakfast, just like every other morning.

ㅡ

The doorbell rang and I got up from the couch to open the door.

"Oh! Uh, hi there"

Quincy stood there, awkwardly.

I opened the door wider for her as a cue to come in and she did. Closing the door, I looked at her outfit. She was wearing a plain white shirt, shorts, and flip flops.

"Where's Patrick?"

"Upstairs. Taking a shower"

"Right"

Just as I was to sit back down on the couch, my phone rang. It was Finn. I picked up the call and went to the kitchen.

"Hey! Where are you?"

"At home"

"I thought you were coming over?"

"Sorry dude. Maybe some other time"

Before he could whine, I ended the call and saw Patrick with Quincy at the couch, already debating on what to watch.

Their argument went on for awhile and I got sick of it so I grabbed the remote and placed it back beside the tv.

"Hey!" They said in unison. I raised an eyebrow at the both of them, which made them stay still.

"Can you guys stop being so noisy?"

"Grumpy"

"What did you say Patrick?"

"I said you were grumpy!"

"Whatever"

I decided to go upstairs and sleep again.

It didn't happen.

As soon as I lied down, the bickering started again. After a few minutes, I guess they decided on what movie to watch.

I went downstairs again and I saw Patrick's eyes were starting to close and Quincy was just scrolling through her phone.

I didn't know what came over me but I grabbed Quincy and threw her over my shoulder, causing her to scream and make Patrick jump up.

"What are you doing?! Put me down!"

I ignored her and opened the door to the backyard. Thank God Elizabeth filled this up yesterday.

"Garett! What are youㅡno! Don't throw me there!"

I started to laugh because her voice sounded so horrified. I counted to three and made her scream even more.

"Garett! Put me down or I'll cut your balls out!"

"Really? We're not in the stage there yet though are we?"

"This isn't funny! Put me down right now!"

"Okay then"

I threw her in the pool and saw her struggle a little but then resurfaced at the water. Her hair was all over her face but you could still see her deadly glare, which made me laugh so hard.

"I am so going to kill you!"

"Yay!  A pool party!" Patrick leaped in and joined Quincy in the water.

I jumped in too and Quincy took that as a chance to try and drown me. It was kinda funny though since she was much smaller than me.

"I just remembered that I just took a shower not too long ago... and now I'm in the water again"

Quincy and I both looked at each other then back at Patrick. We laughed at his realization.

We just swam around for another hour and decided to get out of the pool.

There were towels already beside the pool chairs so I grabbed three and gave one to Patrick and Quincy.

Patrick quickly went back inside and I went over to Quincy.

"You can take a shower here"

"I don't have any spare clothes.."

"I'll get you some. Believe it or not though, there are some extra undergarments in the bathroom"

"Why do you have those?" She asked, her brows quirked up curiously.

"Eliㅡuh, mom.. likes to keep some for emergencies. You know, for guests"

"Oh, right. That's actually really nice"

I quickly went up to my room and got some of my old clothes and gave it to Quincy. I, too, took a quick shower.

After she showered, she went to the living room where Patrick and I were at.

She looked really small in my clothes. I honestly think it wasn't weird seeing her wear my clothes.

It actually made me feel like we were somehow connected to each other.

I am going crazy
