Alexa's Pov
Jordan drives me back to Ashes house to get changed and he sits in the car whilst I get dressed. I come back out dressed like this.
I get in the car and we drive off.
"So what exactly are we doing in Crenshaw?" Jordan asks.
"We're gonna go to the block party that's happening at Spencer's moms house. If he thinks that he's not one of you than you should get to know what his life is like." I say as we pull up outside of Ms Grace's house.
Jordan places his hand on top of mine.
"Seriously thank you for this. As much as you might not believe this I care about Spencer and I want him to want to be apart of this team."
"Trust me he does. He just can't show it very well." I say as we get out of the car.
We knock on the door and Dillon opens it.
"Lexi!" he says giving me a hug.
"Hey Dil" I say hugging him back.
"Why are you here you're not allowed back here yet because of Tyrone." Dillon says.
I freeze at the mention of Tyrone and Jordan clearly catches on because he wraps an arm around my waist and says.
"But we're here early so we can help out if you need anything." Jordan says.
Dillon walks back into the house and me and Jordan follow.
Ms Grace comes and gives me a hug.
"Hey sweetie.Hey Jordan." she says.
"Hi Ms Grace." we both say.
"You here to help? If so can you guys cut up the green beans?" she asks handing us both a knife.
We walk over to the sink and start cutting the green beans. I look at Jordan and see how bad his cutting is.
"Okay who knew that cutting would be so hard." Jordan complains to me.
"Here let me help you." I say and I place my hands over the top of his and I help him.
He looks down at me and smiles and I don't realise how close we are.
"Thanks." he says.
Then I hear the front door open and in walks Spencer and Coop.
"Hey what is this El Debarge looking dude and your hot cousin doing in your kitchen." Coop says.
"Jordan." Spencer says.
"Hey Coop looking as amazing as always." I say laughing.
"What you doing here man?" Spencer asks Jordan.
"There they are." Ms Grace says.
"He looks like he's ruining the green beans." Cool jokes.
"Jordan and Alexa were sweet enough to help out while we waited for you." Ms Grace says.
"I don't know if help would be the word I'd use for Jordan but." Dillon says.
"Okay everyone has jokes today huh." Jordan says lightly smacking Dillon's arm before wrapping his around my shoulder.
"Jordan can I talk to you?" Soencer asks and leaves the room.
Jordan looks at me and then leaves the room, following Spencer.
"So." Ms Grace starts.
"So?" I question.
"Jordan huh."
"What do you mean by Jordan?" I ask.
"You like him?" she asks.
"Wait I thought she liked this Asher dude?" Coop says.
"Wait what Asher."I say getting mad.
"Yeah that's what Spencer says anyways." Coop says.
"Oh no. Oh no no no." I say walking out the room and into the living room where Spencer and Jordan are talking.
Jordan and Spencer look up at me and see me looking mad.
"What?" Spencer asks confused at why I look mad.
"YOU THINK I LIKE ASHER!" I shout.
"Well you do.. don't you?" he asks calmly.
"Why the fuck would you think that?" I ask getting pissed.
"Well you guys get along really well and you and his Dad get along." Spencer says.
"I live with them both what am I supposed to do ignore them and not get along with them. Also Layla's my friend so why would I like Asher. To be honest I'm more likely to like JJ or Jordan than I would Asher." I say rolling my eyes at their stupidness.
"Well thanks for the compliment Lexi but Asher's Dad doesn't like any girl that Asher's brought home so I don't know why you and him get along well." Jordan says.
"I mean what's not to like." I say pointing to myself and laughing.
"She's right. Everybody likes Alexa. If I was a guy I would definitely want to get with her." Coop says entering the room.
I smile at her and then turn back to Jordan and Spencer.
"Okay shit sorry." Spencer says.
"Thank you now we've got a lot to do come on." I say grabbing Jordan's hand and bringing him back into the kitchen.
At the cookout
Everyone is standing around and talking to each other. People have meat on the barbecues and other people are dancing to music and everyone's having fun.
Jordan grabs some food and he sits down on the other side of the cook out. I see him sitting there on his own so I walk over to him and sit next to him.
"Don't sweat it Jordy, I'll talk to you." I say.
We talk for abit about random stuff and then I catch Spencer's eye. He gestures for me and Jordan to come over to him. I grab Jordan's hand and pull him out of the chair.
"Where are we going?" he asks as we start walking hand in hand.
"To talk to people come on." I say as we reach Spencer, Coop and Patience.
"Look who it is. Time you joined us baby face." Coop says.
"It's Jordan." he says.
"You sure it isn't Alexa's guys." Coop says looking at our hands which are still together.
"No it's Jordan." he says smiling at me.
"It's Jordan." Coop mocks.
"Look at you sticking up for yourself. Hi Jordan I might like you." she says.
"Where you from Jordan?"
"Oh he's from Beverly Hills all day." Spencer says.
"My families from around here." Jordan says.
"Oh yeah. Where's your Grandma stay?" Patience asks.
"She's um I don't know the address." he says.
"Oh you're not form around here then." she says laughing.
I squeeze Jordan's hand and he looks down at me and smiles. Spencer sees Chris and smiles.
"Ahh what up boi." he says to Chris.
"What's up Spence. How you doing?" Chris says.
"I'm good bro." Spencer says.
"Alexa." Chris says bringing me into a hug.
"Chrissy." I say giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Who's this?" Jordan asks.
"This is Chris he plays for Crenshaw." Spencer says.
"And he's my second favourite quarterback." I say.
"What? Who's your favourite now? Whose replaced me?" Chris says.
"Jordy." I say nudging him.
"Hey I hope your cool with me bringing Cam." Chris says.
"Yeah it's cool. Get some chairs and get comfortable." Spencer says.
An hour later
"Biggie or Pac?" Spencer asks.
"Biggie easy bro Pac doesn't have a flow or any words that are deep man." Chris says.
"Okay well who had a better flow?" Coops asks.
"Rakim." Jordan says.
I look at him in shock.
"Hands down. He's a lyrical genius. Crazy mic techniques the original smooth flow. Come on guys." Jordan says. "Payed in full. No one comes even close to touching that album. Greatest of all time." he says.
"Oh shit Jordy." I say.
"What!" Spencer says shocked.
"No you didn't" Coop says.
"Okay baby face." Coop says dapping him up.
"Look at Carlton dropping knowledge y'all. Who knew man." Chris says.
"Yeah give it up for my boy" Coop says clapping.
Inside the house
"Wrong you know damn well that ain't the answer man." Coop says.
"The answers one. 3 forever evers. Outcast. M Jackson. 2000." Jordan and Spencer list of and high five.
"Another point for Carlton." Chris says.
"At a black church, how long does praise and worship last? 1)30 minutes. 2)an hour. or 3)" Spencer says before Chris cuts him off.
"Okay okay ain't no way Beverly Hills getting this one right unless you've been binge watching the Preachers of LA" Christ says.
"Man what's your problem?"Jordan says.
"Yo Chris. Chill man." Spencer says.
"The answers 3) whenever the choir director feels like she's done." I say.
"Alright!" Spencer says.
"Now stop messing up the game. Cam new card your turn." Coop says.
"Okay, in the black smith. Black folks left America like Britain left the EU who do we take?" Cam reads the card.
"I vote we take Carlton here and Eminem and the white folks can keep Stacey Dash." Chris says.
"Man you really disrespecting me in my own house." Spencer says.
"I was just kidding dawg relax." Chris says.
"Nah bro now you showing up." Spencer says standing up.
"When'd you get so sensitive. Guess Beverly Hills got you all soft now huh." Chris says getting up.
"Hey you and Pretty Boy and his bitch who is also your cousin can head back anytime it gets too hot, don't let us stop you?" Chris says.
"Chris shut the fuck up." I snap.
"How's Tyrone doing Alexa?" he asks.
Jordan grabs my hand and stands in front of me protectively.
"Now that's too far dawg. You got a problem just say it to me don't bring Alexa into this." Spencer says.
"You ain't got no business wearing that Crenshaw ring anymore. You don't belong here." Chris says. "Since you felt like you had to leave us to succeed why don't you just stay gone. We got an upgrade anyways." he says gesturing to Cam.
"No honestly I doubt Cam can even touch Spencer out on the field. I'm pretty sure we got the upgrade." Jordan steps in.
"Well uh we'll see you in the playoffs. Oh wait that's right Beverly Hills ain't been to the playoffs in years." Chris says.
"Oh they will this year. They got me." Spencer says.
"Why wait? Our boys can be here in 45, you grab your squad and let's settle this right now."Jordan says.
"I'll tell you what. Y'all win and you can take this Crenshaw ring off of my finger for good." Spencer says.
At the field
"What the fuck are we doing here Jordy?" I ask.
"We're doing this as a team." Jordan says.
We walk onto the field and we wait for our team to come. They arrive and say hi to Spencer and Jordan. I'm surprised to see that Asher turned up. He comes and gives me a hug
"Thanks for being here." I say.
"Anything for you." Asher says letting go of me and going up to Jordan.
Jordan and Asher stare at each other for a couple of seconds before they dap each other up. I guess they are getting along now.
A few minutes before the game starts Jordan runs up to me.
"Lexi we have a problem." he says picking me up and running with me along the field. When we reach the team he placed me back down onto the floor.
"You know I have legs I could have walked over here Jordy." I say laughing.
"Not the time Lexi we need one more player to even up the field. Can you play?" Jordan asks.
I look at him in the eyes and see that he really needs me. I nod my head.
"Only if you buy me ice cream afterwards." I say smirking.
"Thank you Lexi. Thank you thank you." he says pecking my lips before running into position. I stand there dumbfounded and shocked for a second and I look over at Coop and Patience who are laughing and clapping at Jordan.
I stand in position near Asher who looks at me likes he's pissed.
We start the game and straight away Jordan throws me the ball. I run backwards a few steps before I take a few steps forwards and launch the ball towards Asher who catches it and scored a touchdown. I can hear Coop and Patience cheering on the sidelines.
We keep playing and they score a couple touchdowns. It's 7:14 and they are winning.
Asher grabs the ball and throws it to me and I catch it just as Cam throws me over his shoulder and I land on my back. Jordan runs over to me as I jump up.
"You okay Lexi?" he asks.
"I'm fine." I say as I spit blood onto the floor.
The next thing that happens is Spencer scores a touchdown.
"Hey what y'all doing?" the security yells.
Everyone starts running off the field and grabbing their stuff.
"Hey Lex. Do you need a ride home?"Asher asks.
"No I gotta check on Spencer but I'll see you at home?" I say and he gives me a hug.
"Be safe." he says and runs off.
"Come one Spencer will be there in a minute." Jordan says grabbing my hand and leading me to the car.
"Thanks for helping us out tonight with the team. It meant a lot." Jordan says giving me a hug when we reach the car.
"I'd do anything to help Beverly." I say and Spencer gets in and we drive off.
"Listen man I uh know somethings got a little intense back there. But on the plus side your team showed up for you." Jordan says to Spencer. "Even after the internal bs they showed up. That has to feel good."
"They showed up for you and to stick it to South Crenshaw." Spencer says.
"Isn't that what you were doing."
"Only because you put us in that situation, we should have never played that game." Spencer says. "Why'd you even come here man."
"So let me get this straight. I came into your world. And blew your life up." Jordan says.
"Sounds familiar doesn't it."
I see red and blue flashing lights behind us and I realise it's the police.
"What the hell." Jordan says.
We pull over and two policemen get out of the car.
"Is there a problem officer?" Jordan asks.
"License and registration please."
"Why? I wasn't speeding or anything." Jordan says.
"You made and illegal turn at a red light. License and registration."
"What? How far back? What turn?" Jordan says.
"What are you doing man just give him what he asks for." Spencer says from the backseat.
Jordan does as he says and an officer walks on my side of the car.
"What are you boys doing in this neighbourhood?"
"Are you serious right now? We've done nothing wrong man." Jordan says.
"Jordan stop." I whisper to him.
"This is harassment." Jordan says turning to me.
"Okay my mom is a lawyer." Jordan says to the officer.
"Step out of the car please."
"What?" Jordan asks.
"I need you to stop resisting and get out of the car now."
Jordan gets out of the car.
"I know my rights okay." he says.
"Stand inside please."
"I cannot believe this, just wait till my mom gets a load of you big man." Jordan says.
The police officer comes and shoves Jordan down onto the car hood.
"Jordan!" I shout because I'm scared he looks at me as the officer presses him down onto the side of his face.
"You do what I tell you to do. I don't give a damn who your mom is." the officer handcuffs Jordan and shoved him to the ground.
The other officer shouts at me.
"Get out of the car." I do as he says and slowly walk out.
He shoves me to the ground and handcuffs me and I look forward at Jordan.
We keep staring at each other in the eyes and I can see how scared Jordan is.
"It's okay Jordan. We'll be okay." I say unsurely.
"Hey haven't I arrested you before?" the officer cuffing Jordan asks me.
Jordan looks at me confused and I turn my head not looking at him.
