The new kid

Chapter 19

Jake's POV: The door bell rang and it was the delivery guys, Taco Bell.

Tony: If we are having a party we need food!

All: Lol

We put the food, drinks and some stuff on the living room table, we put on some music and just chilled. Eventually we started dancing and being silly.

(...)

It's two minutes to midnight and we are all sitting and singing

Sunny: Come on guys, it's less then two minutes! - we all got up, some of us took out the phones and record it

Tony: Fifteen seconds

All: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Happy new year!! - I turned to Erika and pecked her lips

Jake: Rik! - she kissed me again, we kissed for a little bit till someone went against us - Happy new year babe

Erika: Happy new year - I hugged her and we took a pic together

We all wished each other happy new year and continue the party for a bit longer.
Eventually got late and the squad started to leave, when I noticed it was only me, Jerika and Santhony left.

Erika: I have to go.

Jake: I'll drive you home.

Lucas: I should go too. I'm gonna get Toby - I went to the guest bedroom and got Toby - Where is his backpack

Erika: Here.

Lucas: Ok. See you tomorrow guys

Santhony: Bye

Jerika: Bye

We left Tony's and I put Toby in his seat.

Lucas: Bye Rik

Erika: Bye - she kissed my cheek and got inside the car

Jake: Later man

Lucas: Bye - we bro shake and he got in the car as well. So did I. I drove back home and when we got there, they are all still up - Hello.

All: Hey

Lucas: Dad where is he sleeping?

Dad: Three guesses

Lucas: My room..

Dad: First try

Lucas: Lol. I'll be right back

I went to my room and put Toby on the bed, I took of his clothes and put his pjs on, then I went back downstairs. We talked for a while but it was really late so we went to bed. I laid down next to Toby and fell asleep.

I woke up with my phone ringing

*on the phone*
Lucas: Hello
Erika: Sorry to wake you up.. - she sniffed
Lucas: Rik? What's going on?
Erika: Nothing, I'm sorry.. good night
Lucas: Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's four in the morning and you called me crying what he heck is going on?
Erika: Nothing I'm fine
*off the phone*

She hang up. Dammit. I got up, got dressed and jumped the window. I went to Erika's house and climbed to the roof. I tapped on her window and she opened up

Erika: What the hell are you doing here?!

Lucas: You just called me, crying and decided to don't tell me what's going on. So I came here to find out.

Erika: My dad..

Lucas: What about him?

Erika: I got home it was late, and he saw Jake's car leaving so he said: "That Jake doesn't know about bed time?", but I just ignore it.. then I was going to the living room and he thought I was drunk because I tripped and said so many horrible things about Jake and I flipped, and probably said things I shouldn't have and he almost hit me.. - she was crying

Lucas: Rik, Rik, calm down. Calm down.. - I hugged her and she kept crying - Why you didn't call Jake?

Erika: He is always scared of coming here because of my dad, if he knows all of this he won't even come!

Lucas: I get that.. but you know, this is with you and Jake, so maybe, you should tell Jake.

Erika: I'll tell him in the morning

Lucas: Good... now let's sleep a little bit

Erika: You should go home, thanks and sorry for waking you up

Lucas: I'm not going anywhere. - I laid down on her bed and she did the same, she cuddled on my chest and quickly fell asleep. A bit later JC came in her room

JC: I thought I was going nuts.. is she ok?

Lucas: Not really.

JC: We'll talk in the morning.. just a question.. isn't Jake jealous of you two?

Lucas: Kk No. Of course not.

JC: Ok Ok. Good night

Lucas: Night.

I woke up again and it was 8:30. Erika was still asleep so I just stayed there messing on my phone. I got a message

*chat*
Dad👨‍👦💙: Where are you?!
Me: I'm at Erika's, sorry dad, something happened with her so I came here.
Dad👨‍👦💙: Oh Ok. Toby is in your room still?
Me: He was when I left
Dad👨‍👦💙: I'm gonna check on him. Do you come back to lunch?
Me: I don't know.. probably not.
Dad👨‍👦💙: Ok call me anything and if Erika needs to go somewhere else you already know.
Me: Yeah, thanks dad.
*off chat*

I kept messing on my phone when Erika moved.

Erika: Humm.. morning.

Lucas: Morning.

Erika: What time is it?

Lucas: Ten past nine.

Erika: I'm gonna take a shower.

Lucas: Ok. I'm going to make breakfast

Erika: Ok - she went to the bathroom and I went downstairs. I made some eggs and bacon, some pancakes, and I called Jake.. I was putting the things on the table when Angel came down

Angel: Hey Lucas..

Lucas: Good morning.

Angel: How is she?

Lucas: Down.. does Dani know?

Angel: No she was asleep already.

Lucas: What happened?

Angel: I don't know.. I really don't. - then Erika came downstairs

Erika: Oh you up already.

Angel: Yeah.. Morgan left to..

Erika: I know. She told me.

Angel: Oh ok. - Erika sat down and Angel went to the fridge

Lucas: She thinks you blame her - I whispered to her..

Erika: *sighed* Mom.. - she looked back - I don't blame you Ok? There was nothing you could do.. - Angel teared up and hugged Erika

Angel: I'm sorry baby..

Erika: I know.

Lucas: How about we eat before it gets cold?

Erika: Yeah.

We started eating and talking a bit, trying to avoid the subject when the door bell rang
