Elliot's pov

  After a long flight we were all in a black SUV that i rented so we can all ride together. I first dropped off seth who i may add was grinning so much. I am happy for him meeting August did make him more happy. I actually let August know that if he hurt Seth i would personally chop off his precious jewels and feed them to the pigs.

"Hey can you drop me off at Gregs house?" Jackie said.

Greg i Jackie's cousin by the way. He was out in spain for a while and i assume he's back now. That little monster is a troublemaker.

I sometimes think he's a descendent from hell. Looks innocent but is really a demon in disguise.

"Yeah let's just drop off your dad and the rest first and i'll accompany you." i reply as i take a right turn towards Micah's new home.

"Here we are" i say and i park on the driveway.

"Thank you" Jackie's father said as they all get out and get their luggage.

"Not a problem. I'll stop by and help out tomorrow if you all don't mind" i reply

"Not at all dear. You're welcome here anytime just as Jackie is too" he said to which i smiled and nod

"Well have a day. And Micah I'll call you later" i tell him and he nods

We wait until they all enter the house before i reverse out of the driveway and start our journey to Greg's house.

"How do you do it?" Jackie asked me

I kept my eyes on the road and reply "do what?" i ask back

"Pretend to be happy and hold everything in. I mean with Micah and me you're actually happy hell even with Seth but i know you're hurting" she told me

"It's what i do. This is a fucked up world J, we all have to do anything to survive, even if it means pretending you're a cold hearted person." i reply back while parking on Greg's driveway. And get out as Jackie and i knock on the door.

"I know it is. I just can't do the things you can do. Like be cold to people" said Jackie

"Maybe you can't but your selfishness is part of what make you, you. Your heart of gold is what makes people love you so much. And that's what i like about you. I rather you stay innocent than change" i reply while kissing her forehead and greeting Esmeralda Greg's mom

"Come on in. I hope you haven't had dinner yet. I made chicken alfredo and of course Elliot your all time favorite shrimp alfredo." Esme smiled

"Now what would i do without a sweet and beautiful lady like you" i smile and hug her

"Ohh hush dear. Now go wash your hands and greg is in the game room." she told us

"Thank you auntie" Jackie said as we headed towards the sink to wash out hands. As i was washing my hands since Jackie washed her first i heard the sound of footsteps and i knew it was Greg.

"Cousin Jackie, cousin Elliot!"  he screamed as he tackled me and hugged me. Now let me tell you he may look adorable but he's evil.

"Now now Greg leave Elliot alone." Jackie said to which she got a hiss in return. I swear Greg loves me more than his real cousin, probably based on the fact that i buy him treats whenever i see him.

I laugh and tell Greg "hey buddy why don't we go and eat then you can tell me about school or videogames"

He nods happily and goes to the table after washing his hands.

To say this day was nice could be an understatement. It was really amazing. Greg told me about this girl in his school that likes to skate and read. We watched movies and talked until we had to go back to Jackie's so Martha won't worry.

"Hey auntie, Greg's birthday is on saturday right?" Jackie asked

"Yeah why?" she replied and i answered

"Why not make him a birthday party? I can help organize it. Hey would it be okay if i buy him a puppy?" i asked her

"Of course dear. He has always wanted one. And Jackie take care okay honey" she kissed our foreheads

"You too auntie. Goodnight." Jackie said while we headed out.

We got to Jackie's in a matter of minutes seeing as her house is not that far from Greg's house. Jackie's mom was already asleep by the time we entered the house so we went to our rooms after saying goodnight. I texted Micah and told him about the birthday party for Greg.

Greg's birthday party on saturday. Everyone is invited. And before you say "who's Greg" he's Jackie's little cousin and also mine. Goodnight love.  -Elliot

"Alright see you then. We still have school next monday right? -Micah

"Yes. Now get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow or saturday. Goodnight"- E

"Goodnight princess." ❤- M

"Goodnight love." ❤- E

I turn off my phone and put it to charge. And head to the shower to get ready for bed. I am surprised i got tired today. I have to hit the gym and start running again. Also practicing fighting, which reminds me. I can teach Jackie to fight. So she can defend herself.
