Under pressure

32: Nationals

Betty's POV 

"Third place, Jordan Cooper!" we hear.

We all cheer so loud as he gets up there. We all thought he got fifth and when he didn't get that, we were afraid he got seventh.

They say out the first and the second place and then get off of the pedestal. He starts walking to us and I jump onto his back.

"Thiiiiird, yes!"

He laughs at me and holds my legs so I can sit on his back while he hugs the others.

"You gonna get off?" he asks soon, as my chin is on his shoulder.

I smile, "No."

They chuckle at me and he kisses my cheek. Cameras run to us.

"Okay, put me down," I chuckle.

"No way, now," he chuckles.

I hit him with my foot and he drops me. I giggle, "Have fun," I say and wanna press through the cameras, but they won't let me.

"Jordan! Jordan! Is Betty your sister?!"

"Yep," he grins at me. I sigh and just lean my head onto his chest.

"So you share the same parents." one states.

"The same mom," he says and I nod.

"What's youe age difference and do you have more siblings?" one asks.

I smirk and look at Jor as he talks. "2 and a half years and we have another brother together and then me and my brother have a brother and she has a sister. Also our brother and sister are siblings," he smiles.

Everyone looks so confused and the two of us laugh. "Are you dissapointed that you got the third place?" one asks.

"Honestly, we all thought I was gonna be 5th after the competition, but when I didn't get that, I thought I didn't get anything. So when I got third place I was soo happy and I'm still very very happy for that."

I smile at him and finally get away from them, but he stays there. "Our family tree is fucked up," Cher states, making us laugh.

"Yeah it is," Chic says and ruffles my hair.

*Friday* 

I open my eyes and it takes a minute for me to realize where I'm at. I look up at Jug. He smiles at me.

"Hey sleepyhead," he says and kisses ny forehead.

I smile and snuggle my face back into his chest, "Night," I mumble.

He chuckles at me softly, "Gorgeous, I know you're tired, but we have to get going in an hour," he says.

"Where?" I ask in confusion.

"I don't know.. Nationals maybe?" he asks.

My eyes go wide and I sit up. He laughs at me. I sigh and look at him.

"In an hour?" I ask. He nods with a sweet smile. I sigh nervously and lie back down, my hands and head going onto his chest. He wraps his arms around me and kisses the top of my head.

"Nervous, huh?" he asks with a cute little voice.

I nod a little and take a deep breath. "It's gonna be fine, you're gonna do fantastic, my love."

I smile at that and look up at him, "You have a loving mood today."

"Oh I do? I didn't notice," he says, holding me more tightly. He kisses my nose.
