Chad’s POVI have no idea what Victora and Steve did when they went upstairs, but Steve came down a new man. He was laughing and having a good time. He filled up a plate for Vic and gave it to her while she sat with the girls and then came back to get himself a plate and talk to me and James.“Are you ok man?” I asked “You have been a bit tense since I asked everyone to hang out together”“Yeah, I am sorry about that. I thought it was stupid to put off what we all know is going to happen anyway. We all know that Aaron will not back down. Victoria has told me that we are only stalling so that Jill can spend the holidays with us rather than been alone”“This will be the first Christmas where Jill will be able to relax and have fun. I want to make this special for her. I want her to be able to hold on to the happy memories when she has to go though the hell her father will try put her through”“I get that now. I promise that I will do my best to make the rest of the year as enjoyable as
Jill’s POV I was sitting with the girls laughing and joking. I missed this so much, I am not sure what Victoria had been up to but apart from Megan’s birthday we hardly ever saw her these days. “Its nice to have you back hanging out with us” I laid my head in her lap and smiled up at her “Yeah, what have you and Steve been up to? I feel like you are in a secret society or something,” Laughed Megan “Don’t be silly, I have been finding lots of interesting books. I am new to all of this, and I find it all so interesting. Steve has been helping me to learn as much as I can” “Well, I am glad that you will be spending a bit of time with us” I smiled at her. I looked over at Chad and noticed that he seemed lost in his own thoughts while Steve was talking to James. I glanced outside and noticed that the sun would be setting soon. I decided that I would like to watch the sun set with Chad in the spa. “I will talk to you guys later” I winked that them as I got up and walked over to Chad and
Chad’s POVMy god I felt so relaxed. I wish that this night would never end. I wrapped my arms tighter around Jill’s waist “I love you so much”She turned around so that she was straddling me. The sun had now set and put the garden in to darkness with just the moon and stars for light. “I love you too” He leaned forward and rested her head on my shoulder.“Its starting to get cold. How about I take you up to bed?”“That sounds like an amazing idea” She purred into my earI chuckled as I stood up. I quickly put on my robe and then held out Jill’s for her to slip on. She let out a small scream as I picked her up bridal style and carried her into the house. I was surprised when I entered as everyone was gone.“Huh” Jill look around just as confused as I was “Where did everyone go? We were not outside that long?”“I am not sure” I gently place Jill on her feet and walked into the kitchen. The left over food has been tidied up and put in the fridge, but no one was in there. “Maybe they all
Victoria’s POVI was happy that Jill was enjoying the time that she had with Chad. I watched them both go out to the spa with a smile on my face, but as soon as the door closed behind them Megan grabbed James’s hand and dragged him upstairs.“They are so going to talk about us” I muttered“Why do you say that?”“Its not hard to work out. They know that we are keeping something from them”“Well, the books are well hidden, and they would need to sneak into our room without us noticing to even try get to them. So, unless we are going to crack and spill everything, we are safe”He was right, I was just worrying about nothing. I just hated keeping things from my best friends, but this was for the best and everything would work out in the end. “Your right, come on lets go to bed. All this drama has made me tired”He gave me a wicked smile and picked me up and threw me over his shoulders. He ran up the stairs taking them two at a time with me squealing like a schoolgirl over his shoulder. He
Chad’s POVMan, the house was busy this morning. Thankfully this was the last day that we would all have to go into school. This was Megan’s Last exam, and then Prom was on Friday night. After that we would get to enjoy the holidays. I was in the kitchen making mine and Jill’s lunch when Megan came in.“Hey, you nervous about your last exam?”“Its French so not really important” She mumbled while looking in the fridge “Is Jill up yet? I have not seen her”“Yeah, she just got up, she was grumbling something about been glad that this would be the last time for a while that she will have to get up early”“That sounds like Jill. She hates morning” Megan giggled as she poured herself some cereal “You know we should probably start to chip in for your grocery bill”“Na, you are all here because I asked you too. I don’t mind paying for your expenses”Jill emerged from upstairs dressed in shorts and a t-shirt looking exhausted “You should have just bailed on this exam, its not like you need Fr
Jill’s POVAs soon as we arrived at the hall the cheerleaders and jocks all assigned us jobs. Before I knew it, it was time for Megans exam to end. I started to finish what I was doing and made my way to the exit with Chad, Vic, and Steve.“Um where are you four off to?” Carolyn stood blocking the exit“Megan’s exam should be almost over. We are off to meet her and then head back home”“But you guys have been such a big help, can you not stay till 3?”I turned to look at Chad who was nodding his head “I am having fun, I am happy to stay here and carry on helping set up”“I am with Chad, this is actually fun. I am sure that Megan and James will not mind staying to help too”“Yay, you guys are the best” Carolyn shrieked as she ran back to carry on decorating.“I guess we better get back to it then” I laughed. We had just got back into it when Megan and James came in. “Hey hun how did you go?” I asked while running up to her“I think I failed” She laughed“At least you already have a job
James’s POVI did not want to tell Meg that I would be able to return back to the pack with no issues. My mum was an alcoholic. I would have to return every now and again to make sure that everything was ok and that my little brother was coping. He was so much better at dealing with her then I was. She turned to drink as soon as my dad died. I knew that loosing your mate was one of the worst pains that you could feel, but my brother was only 5 at the time. He needed his mum, we had both just lost our dad and we lost our mum at the same time. I was 10 and I have to step up as the man of the house and help to raise my little brother. Thankfully I was best mates with Chad and he helped us out more than I could ever thank him for. If it was not for him, we would have lost the house and starved. That was the main reason that I wanted to find out what Steve was keeping from him. I don’t like keeping anything from Chad, especially when it comes to the girl he loves. It was also why I was det
Jill’s POVWe had only just arrived in the house when Chad got a mind-link from James asking him to talk in private. I was hoping to tempt him in to joining me in the spa, but we had plenty of time for that. I ran upstairs and started to put on my bikini. I had only just got changed when Megan walked in.“I was going to go for a swim, but Chad mentioned you were going to have a spa. Can I join you?”“Of course, you can. Go get changed and I will meet you down there”“Grab some wine and glasses on your way” She called as she left the roomI didn’t bother grabbing a rob as it was super-hot today and I was thinking I might sunbath for a little bit after. I went to the kitchen and grabbed down the wine glasses. I was just about to grab the bottle of wine when Victoria came in.“Hey Megan and I are about to hop in the spa. Though to be honest its quiet hot so we will probably end up in the pool instead. Do you want to join us?”“Maybe in a bit. I am feeling quiet tired after setting up the
