Oceans POV
I get home that evening with my father talking about how great it is to have another Jennings in the gang.
"Ocean..." I heard someone whisper behind a pillar. I see Jamie, I walk over. "Look" he pulls out a box. A shining gold band with emeralds. "I'm proposing to Ruby" he said all jittery
I squealed "I'm so happy!" He shushes me. I see Ruby and her belly walking up the stairs.
"I'm taking her down to the lake, and proposing to her." He smiled,
The night went by quickly.
We all stood on the back porch eavesdropping in Ruby and Jamie. We all heard the shriek of yes's.
Ruby came up the stairs, blushing. "I guess you guys already know?"
"You guess?" My dad scoffed and pulled her in for a bear hug.
"Group Hug" I screamed jumping at them.
After that, the boys all had a game night. The rest of us talked wedding stuff, over a glass of wine. "I don't want to spend a lot of your money!"
"Dear, we have no much money we could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and still buy the Caribbean Islands!" Scarlet laughed
"Where do you want your wedding hon?" She asked.
"I don't really know?" Ruby brought her legs up on the couch.
"Biltmore Mansion, could be cool!" Scarlet pipes in.
"Oh do you think we could! That would be so cool!" At midnight we went to bed.
In the morning I get up and ready for school. I slip on my school uniform.
Hopping in my car, I speed of to school. Whilst pulling into my usual parking spot I notice Talon, loving up on Tamara. Shes bent over his car, with her legs wraped around his waist, and his hands traveling everywhere. I can't stand to look, but I can't stop, wishing I was in her place. I shielded my eyes when he looked up. My legs carried me inside, quickly. I smacked into Noah, "Hi..." My voice was dry
"Ocean? Are you ok?" Noah pulled my head up. I shook him off "Fine perfectly fine!" I rushed down to my locker.
You will not cry. You will not cry. You will not cry.
I kept telling myself that, I looked up "Gracey!" I pulled her into a hug.
"Your leg!" She was standing on a artificial leg.
"Yeah, once I got fitted, they sent me home. I have physical therapy every Wednesday now" she smiled. "How have you been?" She asked
"Well, Ok... it's a very long story" I sighed and opened my locker. It felt good be back at school with Gracey, almost normal. We walked to our 1st class English. She was handed a stack of missing assignments.
"Grace!" Someone called behind us. Jamie ran up and almost tackled her to the ground. "I'm so happy your back, and I'm really sorry" he hugged her again
"Good to see you, how have you been!" Everything was falling into place, I was the happiest I'd been in a while.
"Well... I'm a dad of twins, and I'm getting married in April, other than all of that stress I'm good!" He laughed
"Congrats!!!" She hugged him goodbye, and we hurried off to lunch.
"Talons here" she scoffed. By this time I had already told her most everything that she needed to know. He sat down with Michael and Harris, with Tamara under his arm. I hated her and I hated Talon. He was doing this to get back at me for hitting him with the back of the gun. That I still have its stored in my purse. She was just a general bitch, to everyone. Izzy, was sitting with Michael. I'd never met her before, she is very shy. She was holding her own hand, and looking down in her lap. Lunch ends and I get my bag and I help Gracey to her class. "Pssh" I hear when I'm at my locker. I walk over and I'm pulled into the Janitors office. "Hey I've been meaning to talk to you" I hear a voice say, I recognize it. It's Talon.
"Before or after you smashed faces with Tamara?" I cross my arms
"I didn't mean to" he said it was quite convincing.
"You had your hands all up and down her legs, leaning against your car, and you guys were practically eating each others faces." I rolled my eyes.
"Look Ocean, I'm just waiting for you to say that your sorry too!" He yelled.
"I'm sorry! Yeah that a joke, your the one whos gang kidnapped me, and tried to kill and rape me, but ya know 'I'm Sorry!'" I brushed him away. "Since we're being honest, I kissed your dad, and I liked it!" I walked out of the closet. An audience's has gathered to listen at the front was Tamara and Izzy. Tamara had her hands on her hips and a wide smile stretched acrossed her lips. Izzy was struggling to hold on to all of Tamara things. She drops a key set, and Tamara catches it without looking and places it back on top.
"Well Well Well, the slut strikes again!" She laughs "Except its with my hottie's Dad" she strolls next to me and whispers " I win" she takes Talon and smashes faces with him. She wraps her arms around him. He stands still. I cover my face and run away. Today was going great why did it have to end. I hate my life, I want to die. Now I sound like every teenager ever. I run outside to the steps near the teachers parking lot. I cry, I don't cry for long, just until I cant feel my eyes. "Are you ok" I hear a voice behind me. I expected Grace, or Ruby, but life has a funny way of surprises.
"Izzy?" I say wiping my eyes "What do you want?"
"I came to check on you" she brushed off the step, and sat down with me. " I wanted to make sure you're doing fine" she smiles
"Why would I be fine! Your best friend is in there snogging my boy- ex boyfriend, and your her little minion!" I started crying again.
"I understand why you and most everyone else hates her, but I don't she is my best friend" she rubbed my back.
"She treats you like shit all the time, makes you carry her things." I sob into my sweatshirt.
"For a person who doesn't like to be judged you do a lot of judging" she whispered. "Tamara does the things she does not because of popularity or status, she does it because it's all she has ever known" I look up at her in confusion. "When Tamara was 7 she went to see a therapist, and in her mind the therapist knew everything. Soon, he was telling her that she was ugly and did horriable horriable things to her. She sometimes has these breakdowns where all she does is, cut, and tear her hair out."
"I don't see how this is an excuse for her actions?" I say wiping my tears
"I talk with her new therapist all the time. The old one Dr. Likley, drilled into her mind that only he will ever love her truly, and ever since he went to jail for life, she has been empty. Now it's in her pursuit to find someone to love her, just like the Doctor did." Izzy wasn't lying I could see it in her eyes.
"Why doesn't she just relize what he did to her?"
"The human mind is a intelligent thing, but also very manipulative." She looked off, and started to cry. "She is my Best Friend... I will always be there for her, no matter what, no matter when, no matter why." She wiped her eyes on a tissue. "I love her.... She is like another sister"
