I couldn’t help but chuckle at them all. Their expressions were too much. Please, if I learned anything from a bunch of football jocks, it was how to defend myself. I stated with a smirk.
They all chuckled at that, but didn’t seem convinced.
You guys, I’m fine really. I didn’t even get a scratch ! They took good care of me, it was like staying at a five star hotel. They even cooked me free food that was delicious ! In all honesty, I didn’t realize I was kidnapped until I had to leave when I got rescued. I told them, meeting all their gazes.
Jake, the smartest one in the group, stepped forward with concern. Sky don’t tell me you got Stockholm syndrome. He spoke softly.
No I did not ! I snapped. I was sick and tired of people telling me this. First, the police investigators, then the doctors, and now my own friends. Although that’s what the doctors suspected at first, they soon realized I was still sane and that I was only so nonchalant about the whole thing because I had been left unharmed and had been treated like a princess. By none other than Nathan, but I was careful not to tell them that.
The doctors even said I was fine and sane ! I defended, crossing my arms.
Well those doctor’s must be blind if they call you sane. Adrian, the biggest joker in the group, said now with a smirk.
I just glared at him, before lunging out to attack. Sadly, he saw it coming and caught me in his arms, trapping my arms at my sides so I couldn’t lash out.
Let go of me ! I am not crazy ! I screamed, thrashing around in his hold.
This only caused all the guys to laugh. I silently fumed as Adrian slowly put me down, giving me a look of caution.
Guys stop harassing my sister. Tyler spoke from the door now, walking out with an amused smirk.
Thank you. I said, walking over to my older brother now.
She already has enough troubles dealing with her own psychotic problems. Tyler added in all seriousness, before all the guys burst into laughter.
Screw you guys ! I hope you all get run over by a garbage truck. I grumbled.
Then, I heard a car door slam shut and looked up to see Jess running over to me with a huge smile.
Hello jocks, Tyler. Skylar I’m spending the night here. Jess said, all in one breath.
I blinked at her, noticing the duffel bag in her hand, before breaking out into a grin. Okay !
Well we should get going. We need to be there at a certain time so I’ll see you later. Kyle spoke up, looking at Jess and I in amusement.
Okay. Oh and you all are invited to dinner at seven at that fancy new restaurant that just opened up. I quickly added.
Oh I heard they have the best pasta ! Derek, the dullest of the group, grinned and sighed dreamily.
Right ! Tyler grinned at his jock friend. I rolled my eyes.
So can you all make it ? I asked, looking at all of them. There were four of them in total, so it would be no problem if all of them ended up coming.
I watched as they all nodded and confirmed with a grin. Yay ! Now go run along, the garbage truck should be making its way down the road by now. I quickly shooed them away with my hands.
They simply shot me playful glares, before bidding their goodbyes.
I shut the door once they were all gone and turned to see Jess was already making her way up to my room. I rolled my eyes, before following her up there.
I walked into my room to see her unpacking her bag and gave her a curious look as she pulled out her make-up kit and hair styling products.
I was thinking I’d do your hair and make-up for the dance tomorrow. Jess explained with a grin.
Sure. I shrugged, taking a place on my bed now. I watched as she pulled out a hanger with a fabric cover over whatever was underneath it.
I also found you the perfect dress since you refused to go dress shopping again. Jess rolled her eyes.
Really ? Jess, you didn’t have to. I looked at her, touched at her thoughtfulness.
I guess showing up in sweatpants was cancelled…
Actually, I did. Tyler gave me cash to find you a nice dress. We were all onto operation sweatpants. Jess gave me a stern look.
They knew me too well, and cared too much. I was undoubtedly grateful to them all.
I simply stuck my tongue out, before reaching for the dress.
She quickly pulled it away and shook her head at me. No no no. You can’t see it until tomorrow. She tsked, causing me to roll my eyes.
Fine, it’s not like I’m eager to see it anyway. I shrugged.
You will be tomorrow. Jess winked, before pulling out a bunch of DVDs. We have enough time to watch three movies so let’s go ! Jess squealed, before racing down the stairs, her golden curls bouncing as she ran.
I shook my head at her, before following her down to see she was already putting the disc in the player.
I went into the kitchen and grabbed a bunch of snacks, my arms fully loaded, before walking back out and dumping them between us as we sat on the couch.
I sighed in content the same time Jess did, before we turned to each other and burst out laughing.
Today’s a good day. I mumbled without thinking.
It is. Jess agreed, reaching up to pinch my cheek. You’ve been looking a little less blue lately. She teased.
I swatted her hand away and giggled. And I love you for putting up with the worst of me. I replied, looking at her honestly.
It’s like taking care of Eor from Winnie the Pooh. But then it’s like taking care of a ferocious, vicious lion at times. But at least you’re cute little Eor sometimes. Jess described.
I simply blinked at her.
Let’s just watch the movie because I’m getting ferocious vicious lion vibes right now. Jess quickly rushed out, shooting me a large grin and hitting play before I could attack her.
I laughed at her antics, turning over to face her as the movie started up. Love you long-time. I winked at her.
