Jessie's always been the only girl in the Fantastic Five...a group of five best friends. They've had their issues but have ultimately always worked them out. When Alex moves into the neighborhood, their friendship is truly threatened for the first time ever. Will a couple of stupid mistakes ruin Jessie and the boys' friendship forever?
She suddenly felt like she was going to puke. She stumbled out into the lawn and tried to breathe the fresh, cold air without sobbing. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Alex. His eyes were filled with what looked like genuine concern. “How much have you had to drink Jess?” he asked. “A lot” she sobbed. He took the empty cup from her hand, “Well a lot is probably enough.” JESSIE It was the beer. I have never been good with alcohol, so I don’t drink more than a cup and usually not even that. I have no clue why I drank so much that night, but I did and my mind was not right. Seeing all the guys engaged with other girls was hard, but seeing Ben? Oh my God. Ben is infatuated with me, he’d marry me tomorrow. Yet he’s got his tongue down the throat of some Mexican slut. When Alex came and found me, it showed me he cared. He was the only guy paying attention to me, paying attention to how much I drank. He was looking out for me. It was not his idea to go up to the bedrooms, although he was pretty willing. The master bedroom and Jacob’s room were occupied and Adrian had thought ahead to lock his door. I took the bobby pin from its hiding place and let us in, locking the door behind us. “Jess? Are you sure you want to do this?” Her only answer was to kiss him on the lips and pull him down onto the bed. He didn’t protest. They started off slowly but picked up speed and were soon frantically kissing. He moved a hand up to the zipper on her dress and she didn’t protest, instead she started to peel his shirt off. Slowly, they undressed each other until she was left in her bra and underwear and he was in his boxers. They paused and looked at each other, panting. “Your boys ever take you to home plate Jess?” She shook her head, her eyes wide and swimming. “Are you sure you want to do this Jessie?” “Are you scared bad boy?” Alex responded by unfastening her bra and kissing her again.
