An Unexpected Turn of Events ~5SOS~

20.

Jacob, my family, the boys, Abigail’s family, Abigail and I went out to eat after the ceremony.

I sat across from Jacob and next to Abigail and Ashton.

Ash kept hugging me telling me he was so proud of me.

The adults and Callie all sat at one end of the table and the other end was full of us teenagers.

We joked around and took pictures, Ashton posting one on twitter.

The food was crappy but we all didn't mind, we were just all so happy.

At the end of the night, I took one another photo with my two best friends. We put Jacob in the middle, Abigail to the left of him and me to the right.

When we arrived back at my house there was an extra car in the driveway.

"Way to ruin a fucking great day," Jacob mumbled.

Looking closer, I recognized his father's car. Mr. and Mrs. Prine stood on my front porch, waiting for us.

When we got out of the car, Jacob's posture straightened, his body language saying confidence but his eyes screamed for help. He was terrified.

I walked right beside Jacob, my mother and sister trailing behind us followed by the boys who looked rather confused.

"Son," Mr. Prine spoke.

"Jim," Jacob replied.

"Treat your father with some respect Jacob," his mother scolded.

Jake rolled his eyes. "What do you two want?" He asked coldly.

"We wanted to congratulate you on graduating. We are proud of you son," Mr. Prine explained.

"Bull Shit."

"Jacob!" His mother cried.

"I could say some worse things to this bastard."

Mr. Prine's eyes went dark and his knuckles turned white from clenching them.

"You lay a hand on him and see what happens," I threatened.

My mom and sister gave me a confused look, Jacob looked down, smiling, and Ashton's eyes were dancing with pride at my audacity.

"What are you implying young lady?" Mrs. Prine inquired.

"He hits anyone, he gets arrested. That bastard is never hurting my best friend ever again," I explained, calmly, my fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.
