Four Years

Chapter 35 The Day After

Elise's P.O.V.

Me, Stacy, Ian, and Mark arrive at Natasha's house. Ian knocks on the door and after a minute of waiting I unlock the door with the key Natasha gave me. "I'm surprised no one is up" Stacy says. "Pfft" Ian says, "Its nine in the morning, Harley is never up this early." "I'm surprised Natasha is still asleep" I say, "I figured she would be up." We walk over to their bedroom and our eyes go wide. "Well that explains why they are both still asleep" Mark says. Laying in bed naked are Harley and Natasha.

"Maybe we should come back later" I say. Ian says, "That's probably a good idea." "Ok, let's go then" I say, "We will come back in a few hours." We go to leave when we here the door open. We all look at each other. "Natasha" we hear Jake call out. "Oh shit" Ian whispers, "Of all the people." "We can't let him see this" I whisper. "Where are you" Jake calls out, "I know you're here." "Me and Stacy will distract him. Mark you be the look out and if need be the muscles" I whisper, "Ian you wake them up and warn them that Jake is here."

Ian goes to walk in when Jake comes around the corner, so he quickly closes the door. "Hey guys...and other person I have never met" Jake says, "I didn't realize there were other people here." "Don't worry about it" I say, "What are you doing here anyways?" "Came to remind Natasha about the stupid and unnecessary dinner tonight" Jake says rolling his eyes, "And to also hang out with my sister for her birthday since that freak was always with her yesterday." "Its Harley" Mark says, "And she's really cool."

Jake laughs and says, "Good one Mark." "And you're an asshole" Ian says. Jake stops laughing and looks at Ian, "What did you just call me?" "Since apparently you have hearing problems, I'll repeat myself" Ian says, "I said you're an asshole." "Who the hell are you" Jake asks. "Ian, Mark's boyfriend" Ian says, "And cousin of Harley." "Control your boyfriend Mark before I teach him a lesson" Jake says and tries to enter the bedroom, but Mark and Ian block him. "Get out of my way" Jake growls. "Make us" Mark says.

Jake shoves Ian and Mark into me and Stacy. Jake then enters the room and sees Harley and Natasha. "What the hell" Jake yells and storms towards Harley. Ian and Mark grab him after he takes a few steps. Harley wakes up and looks over at us. Her eyes go wide, and she falls off the bed with a thud. Natasha wakes up and looks over at Harley while covering herself, "Oh my god, Ari. Are you ok?" Harley peaks her head over the bed, "Uh ya, I'm f-fine." I see Harley grab a shirt and shorts and slip them on.

"What are you doing" Natasha asks confused. Harley throws Natasha her shirt and points towards us. Natasha looks in the direction that Harley pointed. "What the hell" Natasha yells, "Get out." Jake gets out of Mark and Ian's grip. He walks over to Harley and punches her in the face, "You piece of shit." "Jake" Natasha yells. Harley gets up and quickly exits the room.

Ian's P.O.V.

I walk into the spare bedroom and wait for Harley to get done with her shower. Fifteen minutes later, she walks out. I can see the bruise forming on her jaw. "You ok man" I ask. Harley just shrugs and then sighs, runs her hand through her hair and sits down next to me. "Last night was amazing and then this morning sucked when Jake saw us and then punched me" Harley says. "If it makes you feel any better" I say, "Natasha chewed him out as soon as you left the room and then kicked him out of the house."

"A little better" Harley says, "But I still have to deal with him tonight." I hand Harley some ice and she puts it over her bruise. "Relax man" I say, "Natasha's parents from what I saw like you and Natasha loves you. Jake is on thin ice with Natasha and he will have to be on his best behavior since his parents will be there." Harley smiles but winces, "Your right, I'm still terrified." "You got this man" I say and pat Harley's back, "Now get your ass to the kitchen, you have a worried brunette waiting for you." Harley gets up and before she walks out, looks at me, "Thanks for always being there for me." "No problem" I say smiling. Harley smiles and then walks out.
