- Gee xoxo

A week had passed since that day and Taylor's first EP was almost complete.

It sounded heavenly...

I was going out with Andy again and for the first time, I was actually looking forward to it.

"Are you all ready for today?" Brian asked me as I fed Amelia.

"I think so. He's bringing Juliet today. Don't worry, I gave my permission." I informed him.

He shuffled uneasily as Michelle walked into the kitchen.

"Juliet's coming with you?" She asked.

I nodded.

"Well... I guess that's good. The whole 'if you can't beat them, spend the day with them and see if you can tolerate them' routine." She chuckled.

"Something like that." I replied with a smile.

I handed Amelia to Michelle as the door was knocked on.

"I got it." I called, as I ran out of the kitchen.

I opened the front door to reveal a smiling Andy and Juliet who had the 'grin and bare it' face on.

"Hey guys, I'll be just a sec, just need to go put my shoes on." I said.

"Take you time, kiddo." Andy chuckled.

I ran upstairs and put my all black Converse on to match my Nirvana shirt and black skinny jeans.

I checked my hair and fixed it where needed and then went back downstairs.

"I'll see you guys later!" I called to the small group in the kitchen.

I closed the door behind me and ran to get in Andy's car.

We all strapped in and headed to the mall.

We went to the food court to get some early lunch and ate, talking about random stuff.

"So Juliet, how's things?" I asked, rather amusing myself with the obnoxious look I couldn't wipe off my face.

"Things are good thank you Jacob." She practically spat. "What about you? How's your girlfriend? I head she's as pretty as Ray was."

Hearing that whore say my mother's name boiled my blood, but I knew I couldn't do anything without getting a life jail sentence.

Having said that... I was only 16, so I would only have to deal with 2 years in Juvey.

Instead, I just looked at Andy with that 'Are you fucking kidding me?' look.

He returned it with the 'I am so sorry' look.

"Yeah. Taylor's gorgeous. I'm really lucky to have her." I replied through teeth that were gritted so much, I feared that they would all shatter if I wasn't careful.

We ate and talked about school mainly and a few bits about mom which really stung. But I knew Juliet was just trying to push my buttons.

"So have you visited Ray's grave since the funeral?" She asked.

"Once or twice." I replied.

Juliet nodded, taking in my answer.

"It's a shame she was so selfish. Leaving you with Amelia like that. You'd think she would've known bet-"

"Would you stop?" Andy snapped.

"What? I was just say-"

"No one cares what you have to say about Ray! She's none of your concern!" The frontman raised his voice, drawing the attention of others in the immediate area.

"Well, since you put it that way..." Juliet mumbled, rather sarcastically.

"Yes! I do fucking put that way! You know what? I'm fucking done Jules! I am so done. Yeah, we had fun. But that fun cost me my wife and my kids their mother. Play time's over. We're not fucking kids anymore." Andy retorted. "I'm moving out, I'm breaking up with you and if I ever catch you near me, my kids or my friends again, I swear to God I'll make you life Hell."

Juliet looked astonished.

Then she looked to me.

"This is all your fault. You spoilt little brat. You get everything you fucking want. Except of course your precious mother. News flash, kid. You were adopted. You have no reason to care about her." She spat.

Andy got right in her face, making Juliet's head hit the wall next to her.

"Get. The fuck. Out." He whispered.

She raised an eyebrow and got up.

"Later." She mumbled and stormed off.

Andy and I had an amazing day after that.

He had switched off his phone and he was fun to be around.

It was awesome.

"Thank you." I said out of the blue as he drove me back to Brian and Michelle's.

"For what?" Andy asked.

"For that thing with Juliet. I know she must have meant a lot to you for you to leave mom for her."

"I regret it everyday Jake." He sighed, rubbing his right browbone. "Juliet was the worst mistake of my life and I made that mistake twice."

"I know..." I mumbled.

"She's gone now. The last I'm going to see of her is when I go to collect my shit from her house. Knowing her and her reputation, she's probably already fucking some other dude." He chuckled, sarcastically.

Andy took me home and said goodbye to Amelia before leaving.

"So what happened and why wasn't Juliet here?" Michelle asked as we sat on the couch.

"He ended it." I shrugged. "They had a massive argument in the food court because she kept chatting shit about mom and he snapped. I was trying not to laugh the entire time. Stuck up whore got what she had coming to her. Andy even said he felt better after he ended it. And, to be honest, I believe him."

"That's awesome then. Where's he going to go?" Brian asked.

"He's going back to our old house since he's still paying for it."

Brian and Michelle nodded simultaneously and that was all anyone said for a long while.
