CHAPTER 2
Tumblr media
The next day I was dressed a little more for a construction site.
Tumblr media
I arrived a little earlier than everyone else. I went into the mobile office we had to get the blueprints so I could set them up in the glass frame in the middle of the site for everyone to see. By 8 am I had at least 60 people already working. We had one house frame set up a couple weeks before so everyone could get an idea of what the houses would look like.
Tumblr media
By mid day we had another house being built and about 140 people. I was on the roof of the house frame that was already built and was helping to add the ice and water shield. I turned around to see a car parking up to the construction site. To my surprise Jared and Shannon jumped out. They walked up to the bottom of the house I was working on and Jared asked “Hey, where’s Y/N?”. “Probably sitting on her pretty little ass in the office doing fuck all.” Shannon spat. I could hear what they were saying and that pissed me off a little bit. I stuck both feet either side of the the ladder I was up and slid down, I landed with a thump. “Actually I’m just adding the weather shield to the roof, what’s up?” I looked at Shannon then Jared with a smile. Shannon grunted in shock. ‘Well hopefully whatever I’ve done to piss him off has changed his opinion of me’. I thought to myself. “What are you guys doing here?” I questioned them both, hoping to not sound rude again. “We’re here to offer our services” Jared answered. “But aren’t you two busy with band stuff, or rock climbing or Black Fuel?” They looked surprised that I knew that stuff about them. “How did you know?” Shannon smiled. “Well you’re one of my favorite bands”. Although the way Shannon has acted towards me it almost changed my mind. But I could never stop loving their music. “We actually have a little free time so we’d like to come and help if that’s okay?” Jared smiled at me. “Of course!” I exclaimed. “How are you with a nail gun?” I looked at Jared. His face lit up like a child that had been give a new toy. It made me laugh. "I’d rather stay on ground please. I’m good with my hands" Shannon specified. “Is that right” I joked trying to earn a laugh from him and cut the awkward tension that was there. “How good are you with a circular saw?” I passed it to him. “Now this I can do” he laughed. “Didn’t you used to be in construction? before the band?” I walked him over to the wooden panels that needed to be cut. “Yeah I did. Wow you did you research. Nosy are we?” there it was. The mean Shannon was back. “Sorry I didn’t mean to pry. I’ll leave you to it” I walked away feeling bad again. Maybe it was me. I saw Jared getting stuck in and laughing with the other volunteers. Seeing him get on with everyone made me so happy. I pushed Shannon to the back of my mind and carried on adding the weather shield on the roof of the house. Well the frame. 
    It was lunch time, a late lunch time. Everyone sat on the clear bit of ground just talking to one another. It was lovely. People from different walks of life coming together and helping one another. Some were the ones affected by the storm, obviously not every could be there as they had to move to other areas so they could stay with family, but they ones who did stay shared their stories and were in emergency accommodation. It really made me thankful for what I had. I got talking to Bob, he’s lost his dog in the storm. Didn’t know if she’d made it out alive. He told me she was a great dane. I told him I had one too and a husky and a chihuahua. “I’ll have to bring them tomorrow for you to meet. You’d love them. They’re still puppies, but so friendly” I told him. He was so excited and a dog enthusiast like me. I didn’t mind bringing them because there was a enclosed space by the office building where they could stay and not get in the way. Plus I thought they’d cheer some of the volunteers up. We all got back to work and by the end of day 1 we had the start of another house frame up and stable. I watched as everyone got back on the buses to be driven back to their homes. I thought it was just me at the site but I was wrong. I walked past the house I’d been working on and I had a smile plastered on my face. “What’s that smile for? Boyfriend text you?” Jared asked as he appeared from the other side of the house meeting me in the middle. “A boyfriend?” I laughed “What’s that? I was just smiling at the fact that this is real. We’ve started project 31 and everything is moving along so nicely and it’s only day one”. Jared looked at me with a big smile plastered all over his face. “You’re doing a great thing you know. But I need to know how come no boyfriend Y/N?”. “Thank you. I guess it’s because I’m too busy with work and all the men my age, aren’t men, not really. They’re all boys. Plus non of the men I meet have ever been… Do you know what? Never mind! That’s getting a bit too personal.” I blushed. Why am I opening up to him. I barely know him. I mean I know useless facts about him but I don’t know him deep down, yet I couldn’t stop myself from blurting things out to him. “No, go on. I’m all ears. Non of them have ever been…” He echoed. “Dominant enough, I know it sounds silly but I do like a man that can take charge a little you know” I answered looking at the floor. I glanced up at him, his eyebrows raised. “Maybe you just haven’t found the right man”. “Maybe” I replied, blushing. “Listen I’m sorry about my brother. He’s going through a tough time at the moment with his girlfriend. I think they’re in the midst of breaking up. He’s not happy, so he’s trying to keep away. He’s just angry and doesn’t quite know how to not aim his anger at others. "That’s okay. I’m actually kind of relieved. I thought I did something wrong” a nervous laugh peaked out. “No, don’t worry about it. He’ll come around soon. I’ll see you tomorrow. He’s waiting in the car I just wanted to apologize for him”. He kissed me on the cheek and walked away. 
    I woke up in a good mood. Last nights chat with Jared had cleared up things in my mind. I was dressed and put the collars and leashes on the dogs.
Tumblr media
I arrived before everyone else again and let the dogs off their leashes in the enclosed space by the office. Jared and Shannon followed closely and walked into the office where I was on the computer logging the progress of the project for our website. The door swung open and scared the crap out of me. “Men are here. We build house and evolve quickly!” Jared shouted while stamping his foot and raising his fist. I laughed at his neanderthal ways. “So I heard yesterday you were bringing the dogs in and we wanted to meet them before everyone else” Jared whispered. I walked to the back door of the office and called their names. “Blue, Tank, Nellie. People want to meet you.” “Nellie came first” Shannon let out a “Pfftt are they all that size, suits you I guess” another comment he made that annoyed me. “Actually Blue is a great dane and Tank is a husky. So I guess you’re wrong on that one” I smirked. Honestly the man was acting like a grumpy teenager but once he saw the dogs he’d most definitely changed into a teenager. He ran out the back door and was playing with the boys. Nellie came and sat in the office with me. Like most chihuahuas she was wary of strangers so she hid under the desk. Jared tried coaxing her out with some treats I had brought with me and that seemed to do the trick. “The girl’s led by her stomach, just like her mother” I giggled. Jared laughed too. Shannon was now play fighting with Blue and Tank and had been wrestled to the floor by them and was now getting licked to death. 'Serves him right’ I thought. I could hear voices filling the site. “Right time to get back to work. Are you still okay continuing what you were doing yesterday or did you want to do something different today?”. “No no, I’m good doing what ever you need me to do”. “Okay, same as yesterday? You move fast! We need that here” he cocked is eyebrow and smiled. “No, working terms” I laughed at his insinuating eyebrow. “Shan, time to get to work” Jared shouted out of the door.   “Coming!” the older brother shouted as he was running inside. Shannon made his way out the front door and back to the work yard. “Hey Y/N, lets get together tonight. We wanna know more about you. You seem like an interesting individual” Jared stated rather than asked.
Tumblr media
“I’m not sure, it’s nothing against you. But your brother still seems to have something against me” I hesitated. “No, Y/N. Please don’t take it personally. It’s not you I promise. Plus with a couple of drinks in him he’ll be a big happy bear” Jared cried out. “Well. Okay, but I get to choose the place. No where fancy. Just a classy little bar I know” I said still unsure, but at least I would be in a place that I was familiar with, not a big fancy celebrity club. I wrote down the address for Jared and passed it to him. He read it. “Hmm… The Bang Bang Bar. Suggestive, no?” Jared chuckled.
Tumblr media
 "No babe, it’s just a name" I laughed too. “We’ll meet you there at 9” he told me. I nodded my head. “Okay let’s get out there and build more houses…. that sounded cooler in my head” I admitted. He smiled and put his arm around my shoulder. We walked out together, my eyes went straight to Shannon who rolled his eyes. 'What was this mans problem’ I thought. I walked around the yard seeing if everyone was okay. Jared and Shannon weren’t too far away, I could hear their conversation, but not trying to. “So I’ve asked Y/N if she’d come out for a couple of drinks with us later, she’s chosen the place. We’re going!” Jared stated to his brother as he did to me. “Bro, I really don’t feel like it. Can’t I just stay at home. I don’t want to go to some frilly shitty bar that she’s chosen”. 'Fuck him.’ I thought. 'My bar wasn’t exactly frilly, it was classy. I’m gonna wear an outfit that’ll make him forget why he’s even mad at me’.
