Chapter 27 - Awkward

~Sunday~

-Jerome's POV-

I walked down the stairs ready for our lunch. I noticed a lot of noise coming from the kitchen. I wandered my way into the kitchen and saw Eye holding her phone up to her ear talking to someone.

"Ok, well, I'm sure it'll be alright." She said to the person on the other end. "Yes, I'm sure."

Eye turned and noticed I was standing by the door watching her. She silently waved me over. I walked further into the kitchen and threw myself up on the bench, grabbing an apple at the same time. I sat on the bench swinging my legs and eating the apple waiting for Eye to finish her phone call.

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow." She sighed before hanging up the phone. I gave her a puzzled look. "That was Add, she's not coming to lunch." She explained before jumping up on the bench and landing next to me.

"Of course she's not." Mitch said walking into the kitchen clearly hearing our conversation.

"She never does anything with us anymore." Lachlan continued.

"Well she's going through a very tough time." Vikk said walking in just behind Lachlan.

"Yeah, we need to lay off her, I wouldn't like to be in her situation." Abi replied walking into the kitchen, standing next to the bench.

"My god, how many of you were eavesdropping!?" Eye yelled as she jumped off the counter and glared at them all.

Just then Rob and Preston walked into the kitchen hand in hand. Wait....WHAT!?

"Aaaannnnddd, YOU TWO!" Eye continued to yell this time pointing at the pair that just walked in. "HOW LOUD ARE YOU?!"

They both instantly turned bright red and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, s-so you heard that." Preston stuttered out.

"Dood, the whole fucking neighborhood heard you."  Mitch yelled as he helped me down from the bench.

"I...... oh let's just go to lunch." I sighed as I grabbed my keys out of the bowl and opened the front door.

We all skated down to this nice little restaurant called Chick-fil-A. (A/N We don't have Chick-fil-A here in NZ ☹️) Walking inside we found a neat little booth for eight next to the drinks machine.

"Woo, free refills!" Mitch yelled jumping up and down in his seat.

"Maybe not so loud babe." I said kissing his temple.

"Awwwwww."Abi laughed as she picked up the menu and skimmed through it. (A/N I don't know, does Chick-fil-A have menus!? 🤔)

"Everyone written there order down?" Eye asked as she picked up the pad that we take to all fast food restaurants. Because our orders are so large the person who gets up and actually orders it never remembers the whole order, so we write everything down.

"Me and Jerome with help you carry it all." Mitch said smiling at Eye. She nodded and we walked away from our table towards the counter.

"Hi can we have......" Eye rambled on as she ordered our lunch, the employee nodding throughout. Which was a good sign that nothing would be left off. "Thank you." Eye said as we all stepped back a few steps so we aren't in anyone else's way.

"Hey Mitch?" Eye said, gaining Mitch's attention.

"Ya." He responded.

"That's a nice ring, where'd ya get it?" She questioned him pointing to his finger. Me and Mitch shared worried glaces and looked back at Eye, still worried. "........" Her eyes widened for a second and then whispered out. "..oh my god....."

I grabbed Mitch's hand, we haven't told anyone for a reason. They are all our best friends but still we are only in high school but it's something we both really want to do.

"Are you two really gonna get married?" She asked us in shock. We both slowly nodded at her question. "Wow. I-I mean it's great congrats but are you sure your both ready?" Yet again we both just slowly nodded in response.

"We're sure." Mitch said after a few seconds of silence.

"Is this what you were telling Pre-" Eye was gonna finish asking her question when she got cut off by the fast food employee.

"Miss your order is ready." She said with a small smile on her face. Eye held up her finger meaning that she would come back and finish her question. She walked over grabbed our food and said 'thank you' to the lady before we started to make our way back to our table, giving us each a tray to carry back.

"You telling Preston this the other day, weren't you?" She asked looking directly at Mitch.

"Yes but you can't tell anyone. We don't know how they'll all react." Mitch replied staring at the tray of food he was carrying.

"Dooooooodddd, we're all best friends they'll be happy about it!" Eye exclaimed. We all placed our trays on the table and sat back down at the booth. "Just tell them." Eye said as she got her serving of fries of the tray and started picking at them

"Well we kinda have to now, don't we." I said glaring at Eye from across the table. She just stuck her tongue out at me and shoved another fry into her mouth.

"Well, there's no easy way to say this." I said taking a deep breath. Before I could continue talking Lachlan started.

"Oh my god, your gay?" He laughed making me glare at him.

"Fuck off Lachlan." I told him before continuing. "So as I was saying. There's something me and Mitch want to talk about, we.......well we might, sorta be....kinda engaged." I said finally getting it off my chest and out in the air.

They were all silent, mouths a little bit open, staring at us in shock.

"Wait, WHAT!?" Abi screamed, she didn't sound mad, she sounded more exited than mad.

"Yeah, what Abi said." The others all agreed.

"Well, it happened that night that you all went to the hospital. Jerome told you all that we were seeing family." Mitch said just confusing them all more.

"It doesn't matter when it happened we just need to know that you're all ok with it." I asked holding onto Mitch hand for dear life.

"OF, COURSE WE ARE!!!"

Bubble bubble.
