Nothing More Than Fiction

GEORGIA'S P.O.V.

I stared at Jadyn in disbelief. The girls all standing at the door were frozen in place, mouths hanging open; Michael's hand was still on the door.

"Wh...what?" I stuttered.

"I got an abortion," she whispered, hanging her head.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" I asked.

"Because I thought you'd be mad at me for changing my mind."

"Jadyn." I walked a step closer to her. "It's your issue to deal with, not mine. And you should know that I would've supported you no matter what you decided to do."

"Wait, did we miss something here?" Lia asked. The girls walked all the way into the apartment and Mikey shut the door behind them.

"I think Jadyn was pregnant," Melanie said.

"I gathered that much for myself, smart one," Lia said. "I can't believe Matt was gonna be a daddy though. That's a scary fucking thought. But why would you wanna get rid of it, Jade?"

Jadyn shook her head and looked at the floor.

"It wasn't Matt's?" Mikey questioned.

Jadyn just kept looking at the floor and started shuffling her feet.

"Jadyn, come on. They're friends. They deserve to know," I whispered.

She looked up at me with tear-filled eyes.

"I won't tell them if you don't want them to know."

"No, you can," she whispered. "I'm sure it would've eventually come out into the open anyways."

"So what's going on?" Delia asked quietly.

"Remember that night Jadyn came home after getting fired?" I asked the girls.

They were just looking at me curiously, but nodded their heads anyways.

"She stopped by a Walgreen's on the way home to get some headache medicine or something, and..."

I looked nervously over at Jadyn, who was still looking at the floor and shuffling her feet.

"...she was raped."

They all widely opened their eyes, but stayed silent. A few minutes, Delia broke the silence.

"I'm so sorry, Jade."

She stepped forward and engulfed Jadyn in a tight hug.

"Get off of me. I don't want to be made into some a charity case." Jadyn pushed Delia off of her. No one said anything because no one could relate and no one could really blame her for getting pissed off.

"Do the guys know?" Melanie asked.

"I think they all know by now," Jadyn said, standing straight up. "But can we just not make a big deal out of it, please? It's done and it's over with. Can we just forget about it?"

She was on edge again. Why? I have no idea.

"If that's what you want, Jade," Lia said.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"If that's the way you want it, then get off your ass and fetch me a bottle of Guinness, bitch!" I said.

She laughed at me and punched me in the shoulder before going to help the other girls put up the groceries they had brought with them.

"We have plenty of groceries, guys. But thanks anyways," I said, going over to help them too.

"These are ours, dumbass." Mikey laughed.

"You guys are staying over here the whole week?" I asked.

"And here we were, thinking that you were smart."

I threw a bag of Cheetos at Melanie for her comment. She caught the bag and opened it, shoved a handful of the cheesy goodness within the bag into her mouth, then smile stupidly in my direction.

"We're obviously planning on staying here for awhile if we brought our own groceries, dumbshit," Delia said, laughing.

"Is this 'Pick On Georgia' day or something?"

"We're just giving you shit, Georgie." Lia threw a bag of Cheetos at me. "Now eat these, and shut the fuck up."

I obliged.

"Are you trying to tell me I'm anorexic or something, Lia?"

"But of course," she said jokingly in the fakest French accent ever.

"What made you guys decide to stay with us, anyways?" Jadyn asked, helping herself to a bag of Cheez-Its and hopping up onto the counter to sit on it.

"It was the guys' idea, actually," Melanie said. "Told us they didn't want the three of us staying by ourselves, and since they knew you two were gonna be here by yourselves, they thought it would be a good idea if we came and stayed with you. The figured it would be good for us all to stay together. I don't know," she shrugged. "They just told us about it yesterday."

"By 'the guys', you mean all of them?" I asked.

"They all agreed on it, but Zacky, Jimmy, and Matt were the ones that brought it up to Johnny and Brian," Mikey said from her perch on the other side of the counter.

"It was probably because of me," Jadyn mumbled. "But why not all of us stay over there? I mean, our apartment has three bedrooms, but it's not all that huge. Won't we be a little cramped here?"

"Johnny left me his house keys in case we needed to go back to the house for something." Delia pulled what I assumed to be Johnny's key-ring out of her pocket and started twirling it around her left pointer finger. "You guys wanna just go there instead?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess."

"We'll pack all our shit back up," Mikey said, pushing Jadyn and me down the hallway. "You guys just get what you'll need for the week. And don't take too long, because I'm fucking hungry. I want to sit down and eat."

We just laughed and headed to our rooms to gather our stuff as we heard the other girls rummaging around the kitchen and putting everything back in their bags so we could head back to the guys' house. Twenty minutes later, we were all ready to go.

"What happened to all the alcohol you guys brought over?" I asked, noticing that we hadn't put any in the trunks of our cars. Delia just laughed at me.

"It all came from the guys' house anyways," she said with a laugh as she slammed the trunk shut on her car. "We'll just leave it all here, and drink up the shit load of alcohol that they still have at the house."

She slapped my back in a fit of giggles, then we parted to the two separate cars and made our way to the house. I was already missing the guys.

I love these girls, don't get me wrong. But I miss my other friends. I miss Zacky.

I can't wait for this week to be over.

ZACKY'S P.O.V. (Skip 2 days)

"I'm gonna check the mail before we go inside."

Johnny hung behind to grab all our mail and shit as the rest of us as we made our way towards our house.

"Why is the door unlocked?" Matt asked as the door easily swung open without the insertion of his house key.

"Well...and this is just a guess," I started. "Since Delia and Georgia's cars are both here, then they're obviously the ones that are inside."

"Smart ass," Matt mumbled as he flicked my ear. Call me a pussy, but it hurt really bad.

"God, this place is a fucking mess," Jimmy said with a laugh as he walked into the living room with the rest of us.

There were empty pizza boxes scattered across the floor, as well as on top of the coffee table. Actually, there was just trash in general scattered all across the living area and part of the kitchen. Empty liquor bottles donned the floor and furniture, along with random bits of pizza crust and dirty laundry.

"Who's do you think this is?" Jimmy asked, holding up a black lacey pair of boy shorts.

"They're Jadyn's," Matt said absentmindedly, kicking aside an empty beer bottle.

Matt looked up at Jimmy who was looking right back at him, in shock at what he had said.

"I.....I..." Matt stuttered.

"Dude, you're holding your sister's underwear. That's fucking gross," I said with a laugh as Johnny joined us.

Jimmy quickly flicked the underwear back onto the floor, and furiously wiped his hand on his jeans.

"I don't know what's fucking weirder," Jimmy said with a grimace as he continued to wipe his hand. "Knowing that my best friend is fucking my sister, or the fact that I was just holding my sister's lingerie."

He shuddered, and we all laughed at him. Even Matt.

"Don't worry man, I use protection." Matt patted Jimmy on the back and everyone laughed harder.

"Guys are home!" You could hear Melanie's voice materialize from somewhere in the house and all of us looked around.

"What the hell?" Brian was confused as fuck and you could see just how much with the look on his face. It was priceless and I wish I had a camera. "Where the hell did her voice come from?"

"HI!" I heard Georgia's voice scream in my ear and I was knocked to the ground onto my stomach.

"Thank you for making me look like a fool, sweetheart." I struggled for air and I could hear her giggling on top of me. I turned over and knocked her off, knocking Johnny to the ground who had been standing next to me.

"Nice to see you too Zacky." She smiled at me and I laughed and gave her a kiss.

"That was so fucking uncalled for you dick." Johnny couldn't retaliate on what I had done because Georgia was in the way. Johnny doesn't hit girls, and I'm pretty sure that once she was out of the way he'd punch me in the face or something.

"Just don't move Georgia." I chuckled as I hid behind her.

"Oh get up you fucking whiney pussies." Matt broke up our quarrel and Johnny pouted as Georgia and I laughed at both of ourselves and at him.

"So you idiot, I was in the game room." Melanie came walking down the stairs, scowling at Brian. "Hey baby," she cooed as she walked up to Jimmy to give him a kiss. "I see you found Jade's underwear." You could see Jimmy cringe.

"Yeah. We're not going to go through this again." He shuddered and Melanie laughed. "Where are the other girls?"

"Well Delia is upstairs, about to come down, and Michael and Jade went out real quick." That's when Lia came bounding down the stairs.

"Hello, hello, my dear fellows," she called, and she had to stop in laughter. She wasn't the only one laughing, but on the inside, us guys were recoiling at what she had said, and almost everyone wanted to double over even if what she had said was slightly embarrassing. We were men who didn't like to be called 'fellows.'

"Lia I missed you," Johnny said as he walked over to her, and all of our laughter softened slightly.

"You are such a fucking pussy." Brian knocked Johnny into Delia and the two protested.

"Gah what the fuck is taking them so long?" Georgia mumbled to herself, but in my ear.

"Where did they go?" I questioned. "Other than to the store captain obvious," I answered before she could retaliate with a smart ass answer.

"Damnit, you caught me! They went to the corner store for some beer and more junk food. They should be back by now."

"Oh don't tell me my sister got raped again!" Jimmy groaned from listening to our conversation and then everything just grew quiet.

"Nice to know how concerned you are about me big bro." Jadyn appeared in the doorway and you could hear the maliciousness dripping in her tone as she had this innocent smile on her face.

"Sorry Jade." he mumbled, obviously cowering at his own little sister and I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. I looked around and saw I wasn't the only one.

"Eh whatever. Here's the beer," she said, lugging one of the three cases of beer.

Her and Mike trudged past us to the kitchen and set three twenty-four packs of Heineken and Bud Light onto the counters.

"Well time to fucking party!" Jadyn opened the Bud Light case that was still cold from the refrigerator at the gas station and I could see an uneasiness among the girls that lifted just as soon as it came.

"Did everything check out?" I blurted without even thinking. Georgia had told me that Jadyn had gone to the doctor's for a pap smear, whatever the fuck that is. I didn't know what it was, nor did I want to know. It sounded fucking uncomfortable. But Georgie told me that Jade had gone to get checked over to make sure she was okay after her little "accident". Jadyn's face got dark.

"Yes. I'm fine," she snapped as she popped open her can of Bud Light.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"Touchy," Matt said with a laugh as he wrapped his arms around her waist. I didn't even see him walk over to her. He must have apparated like those fucking wizards in Harry Potter or some shit.

Jadyn laughed awkwardly and took long gulps of her beer.

"Well let's get this party started then!" I was off of the floor, pulling Georgia up while trying my hardest not to practically run to the beer. Yeah, we had been on the floor that whole time.

"Gah, fucking destroyer," I could hear Lia mumble as she grabbed a Heineken with a smile on her face at what Johnny was doing to make himself look like a fucking dumbass. He happened to be gobbling like a fucking turkey and chasing Brian around the living room.

"Yep," Georgia and Mikey agreed and I furrowed my eyebrows. Apart from the girls, I seemed to have been the only one listening to the conversation.

"What are you girls scheming?" I smiled mischievously and Georgia laughed as she nudged me in the chest.

"Not us. Her." She discreetly had her finger pointed at Jadyn.

"Do I even want to fucking know?" I rolled my eyes and laughed. Georgie nudged me in the chest again.

"I'll tell you later. When I'm wasted and Jadyn doesn't care what I babble about. But Jimmy better watch himself." She laughed loudly and I couldn't help but wrap my arms around her and kiss her on the cheek. It was too damn cute what she had said.

I don't know how, but it was...so shut the fuck up.

JADYN’S P.O.V.

The ‘party’ started two hours ago, and people were already wasted. Well, Johnny was anyways. Matt, me, Brian, Jimmy, Melanie, and Mikey were sitting on the back porch talking; Zacky and Georgia were making out on the couch, and Johnny disappeared with Delia a long time ago. The rhythmic thumping on the walls gave me one guess as to where they were and what they were doing.

“Earth to Jadyn.”

Jimmy’s hand was waving furiously in front of my face and I smacked it away as I was brought our of my daze. I wasn’t thinking about anything in particular, I just dazed out. It’s a habit.

“You okay babe?” Matt asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just thinking about the best way to kick my brother’s ass, is all.”

I smirked at Jimmy as he scowled at me and his eyes were reduced to paper thin slits.

“I’d be very afraid, Jim,” Brian said. “If your sister is anything like she used to be, then I’d run for my life if she were planning anything against me.”

“Damnit!”

The six of us turned towards the source of the voice. Georgia and Zacky were no longer making out on the couch. In fact, Zacky was nowhere to be seen, and Georgia had her hair balled in one of her fists while she was holding a small paperback book and pen in the other hand.

“Georgia, what the fuck is your problem?” I chuckled.

“These damn Sudoku puzzles are fucking impossible!” she yelled.

She put the book and pen onto the floor and let go of her hair. The rest of us continued to laugh at her as we walked back inside; it was like had a gigantic mood swing that went away just as fast as it appeared.

“Well, Georgia,” I said as everyone sat around the living area. “It might help if you had the book NOT upside down.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t try to do those things while you’re drunk of your ass, either,” Matt said.

“I’m not drunk off my ass.”

She made a pathetic attempt to stand, but proved Matt’s point by falling back down onto the couch. We all continued to laugh at her, and Zacky appeared at the end of the hallway, zipping up his pants.

"That's so attractive." Brian teased Zacky and in return, Zacky just flipped him off.

"I've seen you do worse so shut the fuck up." and everyone laughed. Some of us laughed clueless as to what he was talking about and the rest of us laughed in knowledge of exactly what he was talking about.

Me, personally had no fucking idea what they were talking about.

"You feel like sharing with the rest of the class?" I said. Zacky just started laughing his ass off.

"Ok, ok," he said. "We were at a restaurant a couple years back, and Brian had to use the restroom…"

"God, don't tell this story, man." Brian blushed and leaned his head back on the couch.

"Oh, now you have to tell the story, Zacky," Jimmy said with a laugh.

"Ok so Brian had to use the restaurant bathroom one time, right? Well, he comes out after doing his business, and his pants were still unzipped. And he wasn't wearing any underwear."

"I don't get it." Georgia's scrunched up her face in contemplation.

"There were certain, um, things hanging out of his pants," Zacky said.

I raised my eyebrows and opened my mouth in shock. Then everyone started laughing obnoxiously, myself included.

"And you didn't even fucking notice it?" I asked, wiping a few tears off my face from laughing so hard.

"No, I didn't." Brian sighed, then looked around at us all laughing at him. He flipped us off, then started laughing along with the rest of us. Pretty soon, our laughter had died down, and we all sat contemplating what to talk about next. Suddenly, Georgia started laughing really loud…like she was at a concert and was trying to be heard over the music.

"Georgie, what the fuck, babe?" Zacky couldn't help laughing in spite of himself.

"There were certain things hanging out of his pants." She was laughing so hard and barely breathing, and we could barely understand her, which caused all of us to laugh even harder. "I get it."

"Wow, Georgie," Matt said. "Way to get the joke eight years after everyone else."

Georgia stifled her laughing and muttered a small, "Sorry." Everyone had to laugh at her and Zacky planted a kiss on her cheeks.

"Okay, so I want to put this out there now before I forget it." Jimmy suddenly said, throwing his hands in the air to get the point across that he was talking. Matt threw his arm around my shoulder in an unconscious decision. "Please…no fucking when I'm in the same residence of you two." Jimmy looked at Matt and I and I couldn't help but blush.

Now I really had to think of a way to get him back. Matt dropped his arm and then got up and walked over to Jimmy, punching him in the arm.

"You stupid fucker." Matt laughed and Jimmy's face was turning bright red from how hard he was laughing, probably at our facial expressions too.

Then it occurred to me - attempt the oldest trick in the fucking book. Once everyone was going to bed, I would wait till Jimmy was asleep before I broke out Matt's shaving cream and put some on Jimmy's fingers. Then, tickle his nose to where he swats at his face. Of course, this is all after I shave off the back of his hair.

He sleeps on his stomach you know.

This is gonna be fun.
