Jordan woke up early again, only because her dad woke her up. She showered and pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top and found her sandals. She pulled back her hair into a ponytail and put on a little bit of make-up before going downstairs. Her dad was just leaving, so Jordan hugged him bye and then went into the kitchen. Linda was eating a bagel and drinking her daily cup of coffee. She smiled when Jordan walked in. "How did you sleep?," Linda asked.
"Pretty good considering I got in about 1:45.."
"Ohhh..would you mind running to the grocery store for me sometime today?"
Jordan nodded her head, "No problem..I'll do it later.."
"Thanks Jord, you're a life saver.."
Jordan smiled and grabbed a glass of orange juice. "Sooo..you think I should talk to him?"
"Yeah.."
"Okay..I guess I'll have to some time..," She said taking a drink.
Linda smiled, "You will..I better go before I'm late..Have fun and thanks for running the errands for me.."
"No problem.."
Linda left and Jordan was left alone. She finished her breakfast and went to go run to the grocery store. She was getting into her car when she heard someone call her. She looked over and saw Nick walking over. 'Oh great..,' She thought.
"Hey..where ya goin'?," He asked.
"I have to run to the grocery store for Linda..wanna come?"
He hesitated for a moment and then smiled, "Sure.."
He got in and Jordan pulled out of her driveway. It took only about 20 minutes to reach the grocery store..and it was silent the whole time. 'Okay..you wanted to come Nick, you can talk!,' Her mind screamed.
'Why did I come? Did I even do the right thing last night when I kissed her? Dude..I'm talking to myself now..Okay Nick, stop talking to yourself!,' His mind and thoughts argued at the same time.
They got out and walked inside. "Soo..umm..what all do you have to get?," He asked.
"Ummm..whatever's on this list I guess.."
"Oh.."
Nick followed her down one of the aisles as she picked up a bunch of stuff. "Umm..Jordan?"
"Yeah Nick?"
"About last night.."
"Oh yeah..I meant to talk to you about that.."
"Umm..well..was it umm..wrong?"
She stopped and turned around to look at him. "I don't think so..why?"
"I dunno..I didn't wanna ruin our friendship or anything.."
"Its okay Nick..don't worry about it.."
"Okay.."
They finished at the grocery store and went back out to her car. She drove back to her house and invited Nick inside, he went in with her and plopped down on the couch. She came back after a minute and sat down on the couch beside Nick. Jordan reached around to check the messages on the answering machine. She pressed the button and waited for the message to come on.
"Hi Jordan, this is your mom again..why haven't you called back? I want to know if its alright if me and Bob since we've had a vacation. Then maybe we'll thinka bout moving you back home..call me later, or get your father to call me..I love you Jordan.."
Jordan groaned and shut the machine off. "Was that umm..your mom?," Nick asked.
"Yes..unfortunately.."
"Whats wrong? I figured you'd wanna see her.."
"I do..just not her jerk of a boyfriend.."
"Oh..well you don't have to talk about it if you don't wanna.."
She sighed and pulled her hair out of the ponytail and ran her hand through her hair. "Its okay..really..I just don't like her boyfriend, everything would be cool if it wasn't for him.."
"What happened?"
"Well..Bob, thats his name, lied to my mom saying how I was bad and all this other stuff. Then he once tried to hit me..I stepped up to him and I know he wanted too..but didn't. He then told my mom how I was like on drugs or something and my mom sent me down here."
"Ohh..sounds like a jerk.."
She smiled faintly, "Yeah..I can't believe they wanna come down here..Ohh man!"
"I wonder what your dad'll say.."
"I have no clue..but I'll be sleeping outside if they stay here or I'll just runaway.."
Nick grinned and ran a hand through his hair, "You could always come stay with me!"
Jordan laughed, "Yeah right! Then Bob'll tell my mom how I'm a whore or something.."
Nick laughed too and then he got serious, "You know..you could if you really wanted too..and you're not a whore or anything like that.."
"Thanks Nick..," She said and smiled.
"Soo..up for a game of basketball?"
"Sure!"
"Cool..let's go."
Jordan followed Nick outside and into the driveway where they played basketball for the rest of the afternoon.
