chapter 37

Jordan's POV****

I point across the street at none other than T.J.. "Is that who I think it is?" Jerome asks looking at me. I nod as I stare at him giving him a rude look. I walk away from the balcony and run down the stairs towards the front door, locking it. Peeking through the window, I see that he was gone.

Jerome comes down the stairs as I slide down the door. "Jerome.... he's ruining my life.." I say looking up at him. He kneels down and looks me straight in the eyes. "Jordan you're a strong girl. He won't get what he wants. None of us will allow it". "Where did he go after I ran off?" I ask pulling my hair back in a high ponytail.

"I have no idea. I ran after you because I thought you were going to run outside and confront him" Jerome says standing up and looking out the window. "Jerome should we wake up the guys?" I whisper noticing Jason passed out on the couch across from us. "Yes but we need to do it my way" Jerome says smirking before extending his hand out to me.

~Some time later~

"You ready?" Jerome whispers next to me. I nod aiming my Nerf gun at Jason. "3. 2. 1. Fire" Jerome says in his normal tone as we rein fire on Jason making him roll off the couch. "Is that a habit for you? To just randomly fall off the couch because of me?" I ask Jason laughing. "Shut up!" He yells sitting up looking at us.

"Adam and Ty?" I ask looking at Jerome as he nods. We creep up the stairs as Jerome quietly opens up the door. Adam snores echo through the hallway almost making me laugh. "3. 2. 1. Now" Jerome says as we once again rein havoc on the guys. "What the crap?!" Adam exclaims looking up at us while Ty simply shoots up in his bed.

Jerome and I continue to do this to Mitch and Ian ,who both fall out of their beds. "Well that was fun while it lasted" I say laughing while handing Jerome my gun as he puts it away. "So why did you wake us all up?" Jason asks stretching as the rest of them sit on the couch. "Um we kind of saw T.J. this morning" I say crossing my arms.

"Jordan can you hold on for 12 more days? Until we leave for Minecon?" Adam asks from the couch not looking at me. I look at my feet thinking about what could possibly happen. Can I wait for 12 days in fear? I look up and see everyone staring at me.

"Yes I can" I say as Ty smiles. "You truly are strong Jor" Ian says sitting on the stairs. "I have to be strong for those who can't be for themselves. I'm not strong for myself but for others" I smile looking around at them seeing each of their faces light up. "So who's up for a game of cops and robbers?" Jerome says as we all agree.

"Ty can we go home to play with them?" I beg almost like I was a kid begging her father for the toy on the shelf.  "Yep we need to get clothes anyway. Let's go" Ty says before grabbing my hand and yelling at Adam that we would Skype him we got home.

The whole drive home I couldn't help but look everywhere for him."Jordan are you okay?" Ty asks setting his hand on top of mine. "Yeah I'm fine just jumpy" I answer smiling at him. "He won't get you Jordan. He's not taking you away from me ever again. You will always be safe with me around. I promise".

Smiling, he pulls into the driveway as my phone vibrates loudly in my pocket. I hop out of the car and pull my phone out of my pocket and hold it to my ear. "Hello?" Nichole asks through the phone. "Hey Nichole! Before you say anything else are you up for a game of cops and robbers with the guys and I?" I ask, walking up to the house.

"ME? PLAY WITH TEAM CRAFTED? Um I mean, yeah sure" she says trying to calm down her fangirling side. I laugh a little before continuing. "Okay I will Skype you in a second" I say hanging up the call and running upstairs. "Come on slowpoke!" I call down to Ty.  "Oh be quiet" he yells back up at me.

I walk into the office and log into Minecraft and Skype waiting on Ty to get up here. I almost immediately get a call from Adam who already has Jason, Mitch, Jerome and Ian in the call. 

"Hold on guys I'm bringing a friend into the call to record with us" I say as I look her up in Skype. "Is it Nichole?" Jerome asks looking at the camera. "Yes Jerome so if I were you I would be yourself and don't screw this up" I reply laughing. "Thanks for the pressure Jor" he answers laughing. "Your welcome!" I yell as Ty and Nichole are added to the call. "Okay who's the cop" Adam asks as we all begin our recordings.
