Jackie Jones and the Boys Next Door(COMPLETE)

Chapter 20: Why didn't I use my words

When I get home I climb in bed and pull the covers over my head. I can't believe I basically told him I thought he was hot and I hated the idea of him being with Lauren. Maybe he believes I have a concussion? I can only hope he did. What a disaster! I try to go to sleep but I'm a ball of nerves thinking about my psychotic performance.

I hear my phone buzz and see it's Jonas.

Jonas: You gonna be up for tonight?

Me: no. It's real bad. You should stay away.

I lay in my bed with my phone off as to avoid everyone. I'm mortified. I close my eyes and drift right off to sleep.

God, I hope that was a dream I think the second I wake up.

My bedroom door flies open and in walks Tosh, then right behind him is Jonas who are both beaming. They spread out on either side of me on my pretty bed. They get me laughing in no time. They don't bring up that bizarre episode in class this morning, thank the tiny baby jesus. They drag me out of bed and buckle me up in the front seat of the jeep and we drive to the store to get junk food for our night of Tim Riggins.

After we get everything we came for I see it's just my luck that we get the awkward Cashier who asks us if we have any plans for the day. In that moment I decide they should make it illegal to carry guns in Arizona because that annoying question is gonna get his ass shot. I can see it, he asks some guy or maybe it's a woman! After all if we are gonna be equals then us women have to stop blaming men for all the violence. Which will be tough, because statistically speaking men beat women in violent actions against other humans every year. We'll never be equals because we're better than men, that's the answer! Back to the Cashier, I can see some MAN who carries a gun(which is totally legal here) being asked that question on a bad day while he's picking up a bottle of liquor and just blowing his brains out.

We pop popcorn when we get to their place and then the three of us go up to their loft and plop on the couch with popcorn and red vines. I sit in the corner of the sectional which is everyone's favorite spot which really pisses Tosh off. He's being such a baby about it I almost leave.

"Tosh, just pick between the bean bag or the other side of the sectional." Jonas says annoyed. "Don't be such a douche."

"Fine, I'll sit on the other side." Tosh says while glaring at me and I flip him off and he jumps on top of me and sticks his tongue in my ear and I scream because it's disgusting and he knows it's my pet peeve.

I start pulling his hair with one hand and punching his ribs with the other.

"Tosh, can we just watch it already?" Jonas asks with exhaustion.

"Fine!" Tosh screams, hovering his chest and face above mine, he stares in my eyes. "I hate you Jax."

I howl in laughter at what a spoiled little diva he is.

Tosh takes his time getting situated in his spot and Jonas and I roll our eyes at this immature production. He finally tells Jonas to start it. Only two minutes in and Tosh kicks his shoes off and pushes his stinky disgusting foot under my nose.

"Knock it off!" I yell and swat his foot as hard as I can. "My hands throbbing you jerk!"

A few minutes later he does it again and I stand up and slap his head about a hundred times before moving to the bean bag with Jonas.

"Have the whole couch, you little vagina." I hiss at him and he throws his stinky shoe at my head while he jumps to the other side.

Jonas smiles at me and my heart explodes in enthusiasm at his proximity. "You hurt your hand?" His amused but sympathetic expression makes me feel special.
