So Close Yet So Far (Chapter 3)

"Maybe it's a car," Jessie said.
"Ha! no way. My mom would never get me a car. She didn't even get Mr. Goody Goody Blake a car." Blake was my older brother. He was 19, in college, and living at home. He had always been the perfect child. Our family fit perfectly with the Jonas family. Blake and Kevin were the same age and had been best friends forever. Joe was a year older than me, and my little sister Rebecca was a year older than Nick, so they were best friends too. We didn't have a Frankie in our family, thank god, cause i don't think I could deal with a small child in my house.
"What'd you think it is?"
"I don't know, probably something lame. It is my mom after all."
"Okay," Mr. McCarthy said suddenly, causing everyone in the room to jump. "You girls think i don't know what sign language looks like, but I do."
"You don't know what we're saying," I responded.
"No, and I also wouldn't know what you were saying if you whispering to each other or speaking in Spanish, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't tell you to be quiet."
"Bob, we all know you're smarter than us. You don't have to keep reminding us."
"First of all, Riley, don't call me Bob. Second of all, don't get a smart mouth with me."
"I thought you wanted me to be smart. Isn't that what school is for?"
"Do you wanna be in detention again tomorrow?"
"You can't give me detention tomorrow. It's my birthday."
"Oh really?" he snapped. Oh man was he getting angry. Mr. McCarthy and I sparred often and he only got angry like this when things were getting really serious. "You wanna test that theory?"
"I guess not," I gave in. I hated surrendering, and it took all my strength to do it. But my mom seemed really excited about whatever this surprise for me was, and, as much as I pretended I didn't, I still cared about Ma. I couldn't ruin this for her.
"That's what I thought. Now, both of you, cut it out."
"Yes, sir," I said. Jessie looked at me weird, but I just looked down at my books and sighed.

{Joe's P.O.V.}
By the next afternoon, we were back in Jersey. We were barely off the bus when my brothers wanted to head over to the Coopers'. Kevin wanted to see Blake, Nick wanted to see Rebecca, and they assumed I wanted to see Riley. In reality, that was probably the last thing I wanted to do. Sure, in a perfect world I would love to see her. She was 14 when I saw her last, and she turned 17 today. I was dying to see her, to talk to her, to hold her, but I knew even if I saw her it wouldn't be for long, and I probably wouldn't be able to talk to her, and I definitely wouldn't be able to hold her. And if I couldn't have her, it would just kill me to see her. But I had to go; my brothers were making me. I couldn't get out of this. So I decided to try to call once more, that way no one could say I didn't warn her. Of course, it went to voicemail.

{Riley's P.O.V.}
I actually managed to not get detention the next day, so I was riding my skateboard home. I used to take the school bus, but I got kicked off that a long time ago. It wasn't that far and no matter whether I walked or road my board, I liked having the time to listen to my ipod and clear my head.
I felt my phone vibrate so I stopped, popped up my board, and took out my phone. People had been calling me and texting me all day to wish me happy birthday, so I assumed it was another one of those. JJ. I pushed the ignore button. A minute later I had a message, and, again, I deleted it without listening to it. I had tried my best the past few years to avoid them, which was hard with them seeming to be everywhere these days, but even seeing them on TV or hearing them on the radio was different. I just couldn't hear him speak directly to me. I couldn't hear him say my name.
I finally got to the house and went inside. I found Mom and my 15 year old sister Rebecca in the living room with a bunch of stuff all over the coffee table in front of them. Without a word I went towards the stairs.
"Hey, Riley, I've got something to show you," Mom said.
"Probably couldn't care less about whatever it is."
"We're looking through old pictures. There are some really cute ones of you and Joseph."
"Defiantly don't care." With that I went up the stairs.
"I'm starting to think this whole surprise thing is a bad idea," Rebecca said.
"She's turn around when she actually sees them, I'm sure."
---
Will she turn around? what will happen when the boys get there? Will Joe tell Nick and Kevin he hasn't talked to Riley? What will they say?
sorry for still filler stuff, but the boys are back in Jersey so it'll get interesting soon lol.
I've only gotten 2 entries for Kevin's love interest so far, so if you haven't watched/read the contest video and you wanna be in the running get on it lol.
