My Brother's Best Friend

15: Mama Beast

Today, Jimmy's mom was coming over and staying a week. We were both excited but worried at the same time. I was panicking if she already knew about us.

"Laurey, it's okay," Jimmy said as he gently rubbed my back. "What's wrong?"

I looked at him as tears rolled my face. "Does your mom know about us?"

"No, she doesn't. If you don't want her to know, she doesn't have to."

"But what if she finds out? What if she forces us to break up? What if she asks 'why her, why not find someone better'?" I pretty yelled and dropped my head onto his shoulder. "I'm thinking about the worst possibilities, aren't I?"

"Yes, you are. But I did it too, while you were in surgery. We'll get through this together, I promise." I smiled and hugged him.

"I love you, Beasty."

"I love you too, LaurBeast." He kissed my forehead before we walked downstairs and opened the door to find Mama Beast outside.

"Mom!" Jimmy hugged his mother and smiled.

"Jimmy!" She smiled back, and broke the hug. "How've you been?"

"Pretty good." Then Roxie came up to us and I picked her up before she could even run out the door. "Oh, this is Roxie. She's Lauren's pup that I got her for her birthday."

"She's so cute!" She patted her head before I handed her to Jimmy to hug Mama Beast.

"How are you, Sandra?" (I don't know his mom's name so we're going with that) I asked her.

"Oh, it's been good!" Then she went to say hi to the crew.

Jimmy and I decided to go on a walk and take Roxie with us. We walked around until we got to a hospital, saw a couple crying and the woman screaming, "SHE'S GONE... OUR DAUGHTER IS GONE! NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER!"

I looked at Jimmy, who knew what I was thinking. "It's your choice. I'll support it, no matter what."

I looked at Roxie then back at him. "Get your camera ready."

He did as I told him and started recording as I picked up Roxie and we walked up to the mourning couple. "Hey, I overheard you yelling about your daughter... I'm really sorry about you losing your daughter, and wanted to give you my dog, Roxie." I gave Roxie to the woman who stared at us in shock.

"Wait, aren't you MrBeast and Lauren?" the woman asked with uncertainty.

"Yes... I assume you watch my videos?" Jimmy asked as the woman smiled.

"Well, our daughter did... she actually introduced us to your videos. We'd watch them as a family..." Her smiled soon faded to a face that was about to cry. "Or, we did, until... she passed away."

I gave Roxie to her husband and hugged the woman. "I'm so... sorry..."

The woman hugged back, grateful that I gave her a hug to show how sorry I am. She broke the hug eventually and asked, "What breed is she?"

"She's a pug," I answered.

"Our daughter wanted a dog before we found out she had cancer..."

"We're so sorry about what happened to her..." Jimmy said sincerely.

"It's okay. My name's Izzy and this is Simon."

"Nice to meet you. I hope you feel better soon, and look after Roxie well."

"Thanks, we will."

We said our goodbyes and walked back home. We sent the video to the crew and they instantly sent the following emojis:
😍😍

🙌🙌

We got back and saw Mark, the crew and Sandra talking about... god knows what. We wanted to be in on this chat, so we walked over, hiding our hands behind our backs as we were holding them and didn't want Sandra to know.

"So, what're we talking about?" Jimmy asked.

"Oh, we're talking about a girl Mark likes," Jake answered.

"Ooh, who's this mystery girl?" I asked.

"It's Ethan's sister, Hannah. (Don't know if they're siblings but in the story they are)" Bailey answered.

"Aww!" Jimmy and I said in unison.

"So how are you gonna ask her out?" Garret asked as Mark blushed deep red.

"Can we move on?"

"NO." We all decided we'd help him figure out a way to help him ask Hannah out.

Mark was as red as a tomato. "I hate you guys."

"We love you too, Mark," We said in unison.

"I'm gonna go lie down," Sandra told us as she walked upstairs.

"Sweet dreams!"

Once she was upstairs, I gave Jimmy a smile. "At least she doesn't know about us."

He giggled a little and smiled. "That's a good thing." He kissed my forehead.

"I hope we made that couple happy with Roxie," I told Jimmy as he smirked.

"I'm pretty sure we did." He picked me up and spun me around, making me laugh.

"Put me down, you dick!" I yelled playfully.

"No!" he yelled back playfully.

Jimmy carried me to the living room and put me down on the couch. He sat next to me and put on Alice in Wonderland (2010). He knows how much I love the movie AND the book. So he decided it would be the best movie night if we watched it.

The crew walked in and watched the movie with us. They all say Jimmy and I are like Alice and the Mad Hatter... well, they're not wrong.

Why?

I can kinda see us as them too.
