Weeks went by and things seemed normal.
Meanwhile, Jamie was enjoying her playtime. Pogue would try really hard not to laugh and would receive a hit from Kate. Sarah didn't get that free pass or luck in getting the right friends. Jamie had decided that and Tyler stuck by her side with that. Though he'd be glad after today. The two of them would be going to Raya's for the weekend and even more their mom would be there. He loved her cooking though he'd only met her once. He would be glad to get her away from Sarah. She had a helluva mean streak with her. He could really blame her though. He also wanted to see Kelly.
"Finally!" Tyler exclaimed as he left the last class of the day "I thought you were gonna kill her, but then again its like you're always going to kill her."
Jamie hit him in the arm.
"You hit like a girl." He laughed
"I am a girl!" she exclaimed annoyed
"Look you tortured her. it's done and so are you." Tyler said
"Oh no. That bitch-"
"That bitch is unknown territory and is now a leper to everyone except Aaron Abbot." Tyler said "You're done."
"Fine." She said sulkily
"Oh don't pout. It doesn't look good on you." He said
"And being an ass doesn't look good on you." Jamie countered
"Liar." He said
Jamie just stuck her tongue out at him.
"If you go get your stuff together I'll give you a ride up to Raya's." "Tyler said
"Who says I want to ride with you?" she asked
"Fine, spend all the money you like getting there." Tyler said shrugging
Jamie rolled her eyes. He chuckled a little and ruffled her hair. If anything the girl was like his little sister now. Since the others had gone they'd been spending a lot of time together. Pogue had taken his own time and spent it doing things to keep him occupied. So for the majority of times it was just them. Jamie had actually introduced Kelly to him too.
The two were on the road within an hour.
"No offence, but I wish I didn't go to that school. There's no entertainment in it now." Jamie said
Tyler almost wished the same thing. He knew what his parents would say though.
"I can't wait to see Jake."
Tyler smirked. He'd be glad to see the twins too. Things changed rapidly around all of them and yet they still managed to keep it all together…for the most part. When it was found out that Reid had also gotten into Berkley and decided that he wanted to go there, that was a fiasco all in itself. His parents freaked and he just sat back with a cocky grin knowing that he was going to love this. They said they'd cut him off and he'd be all on his own. He just shrugged and left.
Pulling up to the house, Jamie had jumped out of the car before it even stopped moving. Jake was sitting out on the front porch.
"Hey man." Jake greeted
Tyler just smiled and nodded.
"Geez we having a party or something?" Jake joked
"Seems like."Tyler laughed
Jamie had already gone inside to see Raya and Jake's face went blank as he looked at Tyler.
"Are…are you like Caleb and Reid?" he asked
Tyler froze.
"What do you mean?" Tyler asked
"They showed me something…I don't' even think I can explain it and…I don't know." Jake said quietly
Tyler paused for a second then just nodded. He figured that it wouldn't stay hidden for long from him. If one of the twins knew then they both would. Jake just nodded.
"Alright." Jake said
He turned and went inside. Jamie and Raya were going on about something whereas Reid who was on Raya's other side was trying to ignore them while playing at a video game. Caleb was in the kitchen with Jake talking. Tyler went that way first. He'd handle girl talk later. Walking in, he found that it wasn't just Jake and Caleb. Kelly was also there.
"Hey Baby Boy." Caleb greeted with a grin
Kelly smirked and wiggled her eyebrows at him.
"I miss something?" Tyler asked shifting a little
"Nope." Kelly said with an extra pop on the 'p' "Though I still think we should be going out tonight."
Caleb sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Sounds like a good idea." Tyler chimed in
Caleb just glared at him flatly knowing he was just saying that to further annoy him.
"We're going out?" Raya's voice broke in "Sounds fun."
Caleb glared at Tyler even more and he just laughed.
"Yep." Kelly said
Caleb shook his head knowing that he wasn't over ruling this one. Raya just smiled at him while her head tilted to the side.
"Well, I'll go see Jamie." Jake said breaking the silence
Kelly nodded and dragged Tyler with her out into the other room. Raya walked over to Caleb and sat down on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and let out a deep breath.
"I think I should expect Reid and Tyler to get in a fight tonight." He said
"And Kelly," Raya added "she loves a good brawl."
He chuckled a little.
"Though you probably enjoyed it a little too when you helped Jake with Aaron." She said
He smirked. She knew that smirk. Leaning in she kissed him lightly.
"It'll be fun." She said
"For you maybe." He said
"Oh, don't worry. I wouldn't leave you in the dust." She said slyly
He quirked his eyebrows at her and she just smiled. As she went to stand, Caleb just pulled her back down and kissed her. She pulled away.
"I hate it when you do that." she hissed
"No you don't." he said
"Okay, before you start a make-out section, can we go?" Jamie cut in
Caleb's jaw clenched at the interruption.
"Yep." Raya said grinning
Getting up, Raya walked out and went upstairs.
"Tease." Caleb muttered
Getting up he walked into the living room only to see Reid and Tyler rough housing. Jake was sitting back enjoying the entertainment. Caleb rolled his eyes. For about an hour they went on like that. When the girls came down they just walked out knowing that they were just being boys. They came out while the three of them were already settled in the back of the hummer talking amongst themselves.
"I think we were replaced by some sort." Jake said
Tyler chuckled and agreed.
The four of them piled in. Reid jumped in the back and laid all over the girls.
"Just where I like it." he said
Kelly hit him in the side and rolled her eyes. He sat up and moved Raya effortlessly then sat her on his lap. She was always the weightless on for him. he tickled her and then Jamie elbowed him.
"Abuse!" he yelled shoving Jamie's face away
"I'll show you abuse!" Jake said reaching back
"Jake no!" Raya said as Reid went to hide behind her
Jake half glared as Reid cracked up.
Caleb tried to keep his eyes on the road. Pulling up to the small club they all piled out. Raya nearly fell out, but luckily Reid came out right behind her and caught her.
"Thanks." Raya said
He just winked and walked off. Kelly and the others followed suit. Raya leaned back on the hummer waiting for Caleb who just took his sweet time. He came around and met her.
"Now where were we before…" he trailed off as he pulled her into his arms
"You might have to remind me." Raya said
He grinned as he leaned down to kiss her. He didn't mind reminding her. He pulled away before the kiss could intensify leaving Raya just hanging there. Caleb's lips moved to her ear like he had a secret to tell her. She smiled at what he whispered then pulled away.
"You're so sure about that?" she asked
"Very." He said "I mean you're a real pain in my ass…"
"Hey!" she exclaimed
"But still." He said
Raya could feel heat rising in her cheeks. His arms enclosed around her and she just relaxed in them. She didn't mind just standing out here even though the party was inside.
He'd given her everything he could, but he knew that in the future she'd probably be in danger. There was more than just them with some sort of power on the planet. He'd be sure to run into it. Caleb couldn't ever let her go though. They'd been through this much and it was only the beginning. In two months or so high school would be over and they'd plunge into a different life.
"I love you too." Raya mumbled
Caleb sighed and held her tighter. This was the human and normal issues in the relationship. He couldn't imagine it if his other side was brought into it more than it had to be. He pulled away from her and took her hand. Going inside Raya saw Tyler and Kelly sunken in seats while Jamie had Jake on the dance floor. Reid on the other hand was talking up a pretty blond at the bar.
"Seems like everything is in order." Raya said "No need to worry."
Right as she said the last part there was yelling. Both of them looked in the direction of the bar.
"Not again." Raya whined
"Reid…" Caleb growled
A guy was getting in Reid's face about talking to the blond.
"I say we just let him get the shit beat out of him." Raya said
"Where he could use?"
"Good point. Stay here." Raya said
She started walking off to go save Reid's butt yet again. Stepping in between the two men, Raya turned to Reid.
"Honestly?" she said "Can't you be interested in someone single?"
Reid smirked.
"Move little girl." The guy said as he grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out of the way
Raya yanked her arm back and looked at him as if insulted. Reid bit back laughter knowind what was coming next.
"Little girl?" Raya snapped at him
The guy jumped a little when he saw Raya's face turn sour towards him.
"That is the worst way to piss me off!" she growled at him
He took a step back.
"Sorry, I just-"
"You just what!"
"Uhhh…"
Raya glared at him then just reached up and slapped him. He froze for a moment then shook his head. Grabbing his girlfriend's hand he walked off quickly. Reid was laughing hysterically.
"Nice!" he said
"Eh," she shrugged "Just acting."
Reid shook his head.
"So feel like dancing?" he asked
"Good idea." She said
He smiled, but it quickly faded as she walked past him and dragged Caleb with her to the dance floor.
"What a rip off." Reid grumbled "They're complete opposites too. Guess that means their perfect for each other."
Reid was quickly distracted by the next beauty he saw walking past him and followed after her.
This was how they spent their time. Eventually Caleb's parents had called him to come home due to the fact that they wanted him to get a better education. He argued hand over foot, but he still ended up going back due to the fact that there only a few more months left. Raya said it was fine and Caleb even asked if she'd go back, but she said that Spenser wasn't her life. Reid didn't go though. He couldn't due to the fact that his parents were serious about cutting him off. He ended up not just rooming with Raya and Jake, but living with them.
Right after graduation everyone seemed to just move into the twin's house. They thought of it as their summer home. When their mom came home she was more than shocked and said that she didn't remember having this many kids thought she remembered the blond one. She said that she might've liked him more than Jake which got Raya laughing pretty hard. She didn't kick anybody out though. She was more than happy to have them all there even though she knew that they'd be leaving a few months later. The summer was a long one for them. They went to the lake and spent numerous nights under the stars and in the rain. Caleb spent it knowing that he had her even though they'd soon be hundreds of miles apart. Raya didn't miss a moment, she couldn't anymore. When the day came to leave she bawled. It happened over a course of a week. Tyler and Kelly left first then it was Caleb then Jamie. She was glad she didn't let any of them go without getting a huge picture first.
"You are the strangest group of kids I have ever seen together." Her mom said looking at the picture that would hang up on the wall
She wasn't completely wrong either.
A FEW WEEKS LATER FROM THEN….
Raya found herself walking towards the main building.
"Yo, Ray!" Reid called after her
"What?" she called back without looking up from her book
"I need a little help, maybe study later?" he asked "I'm having issues in Psych."
Raya scoffed.
"I figured that would be the last class you'd have trouble with." Raya said sarcastically
He just nudged her.
"Plus classes just started up not that long ago." she said
"Well, you know me." he said
"Uh-huh I do know you and I know that you tend to sleep through classes. You don't get that luxury anymore." Raya said
"Oh c'mon," he complained "Are you seriously going to make me beg?"
"I hadn't thought about that, but since you brought it up." she said as she looked up and grinned
Reid shook his head and glared.
"Alright, I'll help you out." she said
Reid just grinned his usual charming smile.
When they got back to the house Jake was lying back on the couch flipping through channels on the tv.
"Anything on?" Reid asked as he sat down beside him
"Reid." Raya said
He looked up as she just pointed to her own books. He huffed then got up. Then there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Raya said
Reid just fell back onto the couch and watched tv.
As Raya opened the door she froze.
"I heard that there was an opening here for a roommate?"
Raya didn't say anything at first.
"What are you doing here?" Raya finally said as she wrapped her arms around Kelly quickly
"Eh, transfer." Kelly said
"And what about Tyler?" Raya asked
"He's fine about it. He said it probably wouldn't be a bad to watch out for you."
"Oh I see how it is." Raya said
"You won't believe what I found though." Kelly said
"Oh?"
"I was going to grab my schedule from the administration and I ran into a stray." She said "He was cute too. His name…what was his name… I forget, but he invited us out to a party actually." Kelly said as she stepped inside
Raya closed the door and they both walked in a little ways.
"Who's there?" Jake called
"Get off your butt and come see." Raya shot at him
As both him and Reid did, Kelly was instantly surrounded by two guys.
"My two favorite jackasses." Kelly joked
"Hey!" Reid and Jake said simultaneously
Then Kelly turned back to Raya.
"I remember!" she exclaimed "His name was Chase, that's it."
And believe it or not that's the end. This probably isnt' a great chapter, but if I had it extremely long it would be at least 2o pages long and I didn't think you would want to read a chapter that long. I hope you like though and don't forget to tell me what you think.
