chapter one
"Girls justa wanna have fuhun!! OH Girls justa wanna have fuuuuuun!" Jill ran around her house cleaning up the mess her and Jeff had made the previous night.
Even at age 25, they still slept over at each other’s houses and watched scary movies and threw popcorn at one another.
Jill changed the CD in her CD player while she threw out popcorn pieces and paper balls.
"Your hearts not open, so I must go. The spell has been broken I loved you so." Madonna’s voice came from the speakers making her cringe.
"Must change song…" She pressed skip and went back to straightening the room they had slept in last night. There were sleeping bags and pillows everywhere. At one point they had started a pillow fight with some feather pillows. BIG mistake. It looked like December in the Arctic for heaven’s sake. THAT took a while to clean up. Jeff and her had spent nearly 3 hours picking up gray and white feathers.
"Summer! SUMMER!!" Jill screamed at her lab/Retriever cross where she was lying with a couple feathers sticking out of her mouth.
Jill glared then shrugged. "Oh well. You’ll learn your lesson when they come out I guess. But I swear dog, if I have to take you to the vet again like I did that time you ate those beanie baby beans… your furry butt will be nothing more than a mere fairy tale."
Summer looked up at her brazen master and yawned.
"Yeah, that’s what I thought." Jill ruffled the dogs ears hearing "Torn" come on.
Just then the phone rang and she looked up, flipping her wild loch’s from her face. Her hair had been attacked last night by Jeff and his damned Manic Panic and was now a mass of blue, red, purple, and green. Jill stood and walked around the corner of the living room and went into the skylight brightened kitchen.
Jill grabbed the phone before it hit the 3rd ring. "Hellllooo?"
"Jill! I’m so glad I got a hold of you!!"
"Dawn??"
"Yeah. Oh my God!!! You are never gonna believe this!"
Jill’s forest green eyes widened. "What?"
"Creed is coming to Raleigh next weekend!!"
Her eyes widened further, then shrunk down to slits. "Dawn, the tickets will already be sold out!"
"That is very true, but I haven’t told you the best news!"
"And that would be…?"
"You know Jarred Benson right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, you know he has a big crush on me… but I hate his living guts… anyway, he bought me tickets… 3 tickets!! And he said invite some friends and have a good time."
"He doesn’t wanna come?"
"Nope. He hates Creed, but he knows I love them."
Jill was speechless. "Oh my… are you serious??" Jill looked toward the door when she saw Matt and Jeff walking up the steps. "Who you gonna invite as the 3rd person?"
"I dunno. I like Matt, but he doesn’t really like Creed and well, you might feel bad leaving Jeff in the dust."
"Jeff doesn’t like Creed very much either."
Jill motioned for the 2 brothers standing at her door to come in. They did and Jill held up her hand to tell them she was on the phone. They nodded and started mock-tip-toeing past her.
Jill shook her head and ignored their antics.
"Is he there now?" Dawn asked getting impatient.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Ask him!! If he doesn’t go ask Matt!"
"Fine, fine, fine… Jeff?" He turned to look at her green eyes questioning. "Dawn got tickets to Creed and she… and I… want to know if you want to go."
Jeff made a face then shook his head. "If it were Linkin Park that would be a different story. Matt will go, though."
Matt turned from his spot, hearing his name said. "What did I do?"
Jill sighed. "Do YOU want to go with Dawn and I to see Creed?"
Matt shrugged. "Sure, I guess so."
Jill turned away from the brothers. "Dawn?"
"Yuh-huh?"
"Matt will go."
Dawn cheered, cheered loud, and Matt and Jeff could hear it from where they stood across the room. Matt blushed a bit and Jeff just laughed. "Someone likes Matttttyyyyyy!" Jeff started a chant as he bounced around the house.
"Ooookay… Dawn, I’ll see you later okay? Jeff is going to HELP me clean up the house."
Jeff perked up, trying to look cute and innocent and get out of it.
"Don’t even try. You helped make the mess, you help clean it up."
Jeff grumbled then went and started picking up popcorn bits.
"Talk to you later?"
"Yeah. Will you come to the club tonight?" Dawn was a waitress at one of the hot clubs in Raleigh and usually asked Jill to come help her out, but since Jill’s schedule didn’t permit that kind of late night "Volunteer" work, she wasn’t going as much.
"I really don’t want to go to the club along tonight, Dawn."
"I’ll go! I’m all for clubbing!!" A voice from the other room called. Then another echoed, "Me too!"
Dawn giggled on the other line. "What’s wrong, Jilly? Running out of excuses?"
"Shut up, Dawnagan I’ll be there."
"Don’t call me Dawnagan!! Be there a few before my shift starts."
"Fine. See you then."
"BYE!!!"
"Bye." Jill hung up then turned up the stereo as "Higher" by Creed came on.
Jeff looked up at her in disgust. "I don’t think so!"
Jill smirked. "Oh I do. Now work slave boy, work!"
Matt came into the room then and added. "I should buy you a whip for Christmas. What I would give to see Jeffrey Nero Hardy doing tricks as the end of a leash… and then, if he did something wrong, you could whip him…" Matt seemed to go into his own little world. Jill turned to Jeff who shrugged.
"I will take you higher… to a place where blind man sees." Jill sung along while she shimmied and picked up the last of the popcorn.
"When we going to the club?"
"About 10 to 10? That good?"
Jeff nodded and flopped on the couch finished with the job of popcorn picker-upper. Jill glared at him. Why did he have to be so damn lazy? She asked herself. She went up to him and pulled his hair lightly. Jeff looked up into her eyes and made snarl like face. Jill made it back, and soon they were in a full scale face making contest, making funny noises and trying to get the other to laugh.
Matt poked his head around the corner. "What the HELL are you guys doing??"
The 2 looked up at Matt innocently. "Having fun Mr. Uptight!"
Matt scowled. "Yeah, well, you 2 sound like you are having too much fun. Mr. and Mrs. Flirtatious!" Matt went back around the corner obviously going through her many electronics.
Jeff and Jill looked at each other. "EEEEEWWWWW!"
