Be My First - A Jack Gilinsky Fanfiction

Chapter 20 - Lying

    My grandpa and grandma sat across from me and Ava at the dinner table. Me parents sat on each end. We just finished eating my grandmas famous dinner casserole. Now time for cheesecake.

   "This looks heavenly Amy." Ava said.

   "I taught her all she knows" My grandpa said.

   "I'm excited to eat it." I said. Suddenly my phone started vibrating in my lap. I looked down. It was Jack. I decided to ignore it for now. After I put my cheesecake on my plate, he called again. I ignored it.

   "Who's calling you?" My dad looked at me.

   "Oh um, nobody." I had a new voicemail. I went in and opened it. It blasted.

   "Hey baby, We're all waiting for you and-" I panicked and turned it off.

   "Who's waiting for you and why did he just call you baby?" My dad looked really mad.

   "I..I.. uh nobody." I turned red.

   Ava almost choked on her cheesecake trying not to laugh. I kicked her leg.

   "He sounds sexy" My grandma said. Ava bursted out laughing.

   I covered my face.

   "Paige, who was that?" My mom looked serious.

   "It was Jack.." I looked down.

   "That boy that picked you up a couple days ago? You just met him. He shouldn't be calling you that Paige. Who else is waiting for you? What were you guys doing?" My dad put his fork down.

   I tried to exit out of my voice mails, but it started playing again.

   "Oh did I call you baby?- OOOHH!!" I heard Matt yelling in the background. Jack's voice was deep and scruffy and I almost forgot that my family was listening. I hurry and shut it off and covered my face. I was blushing so hard.

   Ava couldn't control her laughter, and neither could I. My grandma was the only other one laughing.

   "Who was that?" My dad interrogated.

   "His friend." I looked at Ava and her eyes were watering from laughing so hard, so of course I started laughing again.

   "Paige." My dad hit his hand on the table. He was being really serious. We stopped laughing.

   "Since you obviously weren't at Ava's, where were you?"

  "Jack's."

   "Why would you lie?" My mom questioned.

   "I knew you wouldn't let me once you found out there was 9 boys over there" I blurted. I covered my mouth.

   "EXCUSE ME?" My mom yelled.

   "Give me your phone." My dad held out his hand.

   "Dad please, I want to explain-"

   "Give it to me right now."

   "Mr. Holland, please let her explain. These boys are very different than what you're thinking." Ava spoke up.

   My dad put his hand down.

    "Well first he knocked on my window at 1am with Nash and asked if I wanted to hangout and-"

   "I've heard enough" My dad said. He stood up.

   "Let her finish!" My grandma defended.

   "No- I've he-"

   "John sit down and let Paige explain herself." My mom demanded.

   He sat down.

   "So I agreed and I took Ava with me and we went over there. We just talked for a little and sat around the fire and told stories and Shawn sang for us, and then I got really tired so I went home with Ava and slept over."

   I began. I had already lied about where I slept. If they knew I slept in Jack's bed they'd probably chain me to a wall and whip me.

   "We got a call in the morning about Cam and we went over and drove to the hospital and me and Ava and the boys were all crying and it was horrible. We all felt terrible. nobody knows what happened yet. We came to Jack's after that to talk. I bought them McDonalds to cheer them up and then we went to the grocery store to get cam some presents and brought them to the hospital. We went back to jacks and you guys called. That's all. They even made a toast with popsicles to me and Ava for being such sweet girls and for caring and helping. they're so nice.".  I said. I purposely left out the part where the police were checking the break-in in the guest bedroom.

   My dad rubbed his chin.

   "We are all really upset about Cam and we need each other. Oh and the voicemail, Jack is really playful and sarcastic and he was most likely messing around. But we all need to be together for Cam's sake. We've been together for a couple days and we're already like a family." Ava helped me.

   My dad stood up.

   "I-" The doorbell rang. I looked through the window and sure enough, It was Jack and Nash. Kill me. They rung the doorbell like 7 times.
