Pump the breaks!!! Before you read this story, did you read I Don’t Normally Work Like This?
โGuys come on! Chelsea will never let me hear the end of it if weโre late!โ Jade yelled from the bottom of the steps.
Not bothering to wait for a response, Jade pushed open the screen door and walked out of the house. Twirling her car keys on her index finger, she made her way down the steps and over to her car. Hopping into the red, โ66 Mustang, Jade cranked the car to life. Then, after connecting her phone to the updated radioโs bluetooth she hit shuffle on her playlist. As Kissโs Love Gun poured through the speakers, Jadeโs sister, Olivia, and Oliviaโs best friend, Sophia, exited the house, their bags in hand.
โYou know, one of these days youโre gonna go def!โ Olivia shouted as she and Sophie made their way to the car.
Jade scoffed as she popped the trunk.
โPlease, nanaโs been saying the same thing since we were kids!โ Jade shouted over the music.
After tossing their bags in the trunk, Olivia hopped into the front seat while Sophie hopped into the back.
โGod youโre insufferable.โ Olivia said as she pulled on her seat belt.
Jade smiled a shit eating grin.
โLove you too sis.โ She practically sang.
Then, leaning over the center console, Jade grabbed Oliviaโs face, squishing it as she placed a long, sloppy kiss onto one of Oliviaโs cheeks.
โAw! Gross!โ Olivia complained, ripping her face from her sisterโs grasp.
Throwing her head back, Jade let out a mock diabolical laugh before cranking the car to life and taking off. As they made their way out of Sophie and Oliviaโs apartment complex, Jadeโs phone began to ring. Seeing that it was Chelsea calling, Jade accepted the call.
โChelsea Iโm leaving Jess and Sophieโs now. Whatโs up?โ Jade said.
There was a shuffle on Chelseaโs end of the phone before her voice came in.
โI have some bad news.โ Chelsea said, slowly, causing Jade to slow down.
โIs it the Carter thing? I thought you straightened that out.โ Jade said.
โOh, we did. But, I just talked to mom and she kinda wants me to bring Todd.โ Chelsea said.
Jade, Olivia, and Sophie let out a collective groan. Since they were all kids, Chelseaโs parents have been forcing Chelsea to drag Todd everywhere with her. And everywhere she brings Todd, he manages to creep on Olivia and Sophie, more so Olivia than Sophie. Every time Olivia runs into Todd at a party, heโs constantly making comments about her clothing, telling her to cover up or else sheโll โgive some guy the wrong ideaโ. All in all Todd is a major buzzkill.
โWhat?! Heโs not staying with your parents?!โ Jade asked.
โNope. Apparently they wanna play naked tag or some shit, so they need the whole fucking house.โ Chelsea said, causing the girls to gag.
โDisgusting! Well if I hit-โ
โMom said to tell you not to break anything.โ Chelsea said, already knowing where her best friend was headed.
Jade, Olivia, and Sophie all huffed and rolled their eyes simultaneously.
โJust tell that fucker to be ready. Iโll be there in twenty.โ Jade said.
Chelsea laughed.
โJade it takes ten minutes to get here from Jessโs.โ She pointed out.
Jade sighed.
โYeah, well, I got precious cargo. Gotta be safe.โ Jade said.
Chelsea sighed before letting out a laugh.
โWhatever, just get here dork.โ Chelsea said.
โI will. Eventually.โ Jade said.
After saying their goodbyes, Jade turned onto the road and began making her way to her best friendโs house.
โThis should be interesting.โ Sophie said from the backseat.
