Adore you // Jordan Baker // All American

All we got (2)

Melissa followed Jordan outside where some people were playing Jenga. JJ started to talk about Asher's party and about what happened with the Porsche.

"So Asher was all, "No! Please, no!" JJ said in a high voice.

"All right. You're exaggerating a bit." Asher told him, but everyone still laughed.

"It was crazy. The car just kept rolling right out into the street." JJ explained to the people who didn't see the accident.

"That's because you forgot to put the parking brake on." Layla chimed in.

Asher was reaching for a block as he spoke up. "All right. It doesn't matter. Why are we even talking about this? It's fixed. Move on."

"Where did you take it?" JJ asked his friend.

Only Melissa, Layla, Spencer, and Asher himself knew where he got the car fixed. So Melissa doubted that Asher would tell JJ and the others.

"I know a guy," Asher replied.

JJ wasn't buying it though. "You know a guy who can fix a 1959 Porsche Roadster in one day?"

"I don't see it." Jordan agreed with JJ.

"Hey, money talks, boys. I whipped out my dad's Black card. Boom. Next day, good as new." Asher bragged.

Layla and Melissa shared a look, they both knew that it was a lie. Layla was a little disappointed that Asher kept bragging about money. In her eyes, he should come out with the truth. She couldn't listen to this anymore and walked away.

Melissa wasn't happy about Asher's reaction either, but it was his secret to tell. She just hoped he wouldn't dig an even deeper grave.

*******************************

On her way back from the bathroom she heard the doorbell ring and stopped.

"What are you doing here?" She heard Billy ask the person outside.

An older man stepped inside. Melissa never saw him before.

"My grandkids invited me." The man said. So this was GW and by Billy's reaction, he wasn't welcome here.

Melissa quickly looked for Jordan and Olivia. She first saw Olivia and took her hand without an explanation and went outside to get Jordan.

"Your grandfather just showed up and your dad doesn't seem happy about it. I thought you should know." She told them.

Together they went inside and saw Billy in the kitchen, a scowl on his face.

"You invited him here?" Billy asked them kind of angry.

"How is it that you're mad at us right now? You're the one that lied about our grandfather our whole lives." Olivia fired back.

"Look, it's complicated." Billy tried to reason but his kids wouldn't listen.

Melissa tried to walk away from the situation, but Olivia held her hand out for her to stop.

"How is it complicated? He lives half an hour away. Why would you hide him from us?" Jordan asked his father, getting angry himself.

"Look, ok. I realize this is confusing for you both. I had to make a decision for this family, and it was the right decision." Billy told them.

"Say's who?" Olivia asked. She had no problem with her grandfather being here. She was glad to have another family member around.

Billy shook his head, there were some things kids shouldn't know. He didn't have a good relationship with his father, that's why he kept him a secret from his children.
