Bailee

I looked at Jack but he hadn't noticed that I was here yet. He smiled at Sam then Jack and gave them hugs. Jack looked behind them and saw me, he even took a double take to make sure that it was actually me.

"BAILEE!" he shouted.

He ran to me, picked me up, and twirled me around. I smiled as he set me down.

"Hi Jack." I smiled and hugged him.

"Hi," he said while laughing.

"Your brother's not in here now, so I can hug you all I want." Jack laughed and hugged me again. We stood in the first living room hugging each other for a while.

"I know. Lucky you, right?" I joked and pulled back to look at his face.

He was still hanging on to my waist and my arms were still around his torso.

"Yeah. So what made you come to Omaha?" he asked and raised his eyebrow.

"Not you." I laughed. "It was actually sudden. I don't think I need to tell you though."

"Why not? You used to tell me a lot of things Bai."

"It's not like it was."

"Yeah." he frowned. "But if you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me." he moved a little strand of hair out of my face.

"Hey!" I heard James voice.

He came through the door and turned the opposite way.

I let go of Jack as fast as I could and he let go of me. I put my hand behind my head and rubbed my neck. That was a close one.

"Bailee, why are you here?" James asked.

I shrugged.

"Where's Reese?" he looked around.

I bit at my thumb nail. I don't know what I'm going to tell him.

"I told him that we needed a little break. I just felt suffocated."

He came over to me and wrapped me into a hug.

"I love you Bai." he kissed the top of my head.

"Love you too, James." I smiled.

"I'm gonna go pee. Where is the bathroom?" James started hopping.

I pointed to the ceiling, indicating that one might be up there. This house is huge, so I don't doubt that there is about five bathrooms in here.

"I didn't know you were J's little sis," Sam told me.

"Well, I am."

"Cool."

"Are we having a party or what tonight?!" Chloe screamed as she walked into the house.

"CHLOE SHUT UP! JAMES IS HERE AND IF HE KNOWS THAT WE ARE THROWING A PARTY HE WILL BE HERE WATCHING EVERY MOVE OF MINE!" I whisper yelled.

"Are we invited?" Matt asked as he gestured towards him and the Jack's.

"Sure."

"We'll need some things though," Olivia chimed in as she came through the door.

"Alright, we'll be here around nine to ten?" the blonde Jack asked.

"Sounds good," I sighed.

I walked into the kitchen and sat up on the island. Jack followed behind me and got a glass of water.

"I might have to come over here every night." Jack laughed and stood in front of me. His hands were on both sides of my legs.

"Really?" I asked him.

"Really. Who wouldn't want to see your beautiful face?" he asked me.

"James wouldn't." I laughed.

"Very funny," Jack said.

"I know. I should be a comedian," I said sarcastically.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Hey, sorry to call again. I was just wondering what day next week? I was about to ask you, but you hung up." Finn laughed.

"Tuesday?" I asked.

"Tuesday would be great."

"Okay. I'll just text you then." I smiled.

"Alright Miss Bailee Baby." Finn tried to rhyme my name.

I chuckled a little and got red.

"Bye Finn."

After I hung up the phone I looked up. Jack was standing in front of me with a confused look. I was in a little trance because of how sweet Finn was being. I haven't had a guy be sweet to me like that since two years ago.

"Bailee."

"Yes, Jack?" I answered.

"Who is Finn?" He asked and clicked his tongue.

Ha, wouldn't he like to know.
