Rocky's pov
Anthony: Babe.. Babe.. wake up!

Rocky: Hi.

Anthony: Come on we are surprising Jake

Rocky: mhmm Okay

I close my eyes.

Anthony: Come on Rock

He pulls me out of bed. I only have his hoodie and underwear on.

Anthony: Also put some shorts on

I chuckles. I grab a pair of shorts from my bag and put them on. Anthony grabs my hand and we walk downstairs. Everyone was still in their PJ's and everyone still looked tried. Byron had cooked a big breakfast for us all and we are gonna eat it with Jake. We hear Jakes laugh coming towards the kitchen.

Anthony: *whispers* His coming. Shh.

Jake walks in with some blonde chick following close behind him. Jake was only wearing joggers and the girl was wearing only a hoodie. They both had messy hair... Oh my god... that's Joy. My eyes widen at the scene.

Everyone (but me): HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Jake: oh uh thanks guys... you um remember Joy.

Wtf is he doing?!

Joy: Uh hi guys.

This isn't awkward at all. Some people say hi.

Anthony: Well let's eat!

Anthony goes to walk away.

Rocky: I think I'm just gonna go get ready for the day.

Anthony: you sure?

Rocky: Yeah

Anthony: Okay

He kisses my cheek. I walk out of the kitchen. I hear footsteps coming behind me.

Jake: Rocky!

I roll my eyes before turning around to see Jake.

Rocky: Happy Birthday.

Jake: Uh thanks, anyway what did Erika say about my dinner?

Rocky: She said to wish you a happy birthday since she can't make it.

Jake: oh...

Rocky: Don't you think that's for the best?

Jake: What?

Rocky: Don't you think her seeing you with Joy is gonna hurt her...? Especially after what happened last time Joy was in the picture.

Jake: Rocky, Erika got Over that the next month.

Rocky: Did She? Because she told me about in January 2018, and she was crying about it.

Jake: that's not the point. I can be with whoever I wanna be with!

Rocky: hey im not telling you otherwise, but was that some sort of sick joke? Are you trying to hurt her?!

Jake: WHY WOULD I HURT SOMEONE I LOVE?!

My jaw half drops... I knew he wasn't over her.

Jake: I mean- Don't mention this. Please don't tell anyone I said that.

Anthony walks around the corner.

Anthony: Why are you guys yelling?

I'm still shook.

Jake: Ah Nothing Right Rocky?

Rocky: Tell him Jake.

Jake: What are you talking about?

Rocky: His your best friend... don't hide from your feelings.

Jake: *sighs* I better get back in there. You tell him. I gotta kick someone outta this house.

I grab Anthony's hand and pull him upstairs. We stand at the top of the stairs near the railing.

Rocky: *whispering* So you know how Jake invited Erika to his party, well he asked if she was coming and I basically said no. Then he was like oh and I was like isn't that for the best and he was like what and I was like don't you think seeing you and Joy together would hurt her and he was like I can be with whoever I want to be with and I was like is this a sick joke are you trying to hurt her then he was like why would I hurt someone I love. *pants* Yeah that's it.

Anthony: I knew that he still loves her but I never thought he'd admit it.

We see Jake pull Joy out of the kitchen into the entry area.

Joy: Whats wrong baby?

Jake: Don't call me that. Look I'm sorry I was just really down last night and I shouldn't of told you to come over.

Joy: What Do you mean?

Jake: I shouldn't of tried to use you to make myself feel better.

Joy: Jake-

Jake: No Joy. Get your stuff and leave. Please.

Joy: This is because of her isn't it?!

Jake: What are you talking about?

Joy: Erika. You still love her! Wait until I tell Keemstar!

Jake: Do as you please, go spreading false information. Whatever makes you sleep at night.

He turns around and walks away. Joy starts stomping up the stairs. Anthony and I quickly start small talk.

Joy: Don't act like you weren't listening!

She stops into Jakes room and walks out two seconds later with her stuff.

Rocky: Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Joy: Bitch!

Rocky: Slut!

She flicks her hair and walks out the door slamming it behind her.

Anthony: He was down last night? I wonder what was wrong.

Rocky:  3 words, I'm Erika Costell.

Anthony laughs and high fives me.

Anthony: That's was good.

I laugh.

Rocky: I've been waiting to say that in forever! *laughs*
