Brothers And Best Friends: Chapter OneJanine Bradley sat with her head pressed against the window of the bus, wondering if she was insane.Chapter TwoJanine finally stopped crying after a few minutes, but stayed in his arms, enjoying the comfort and warmth of his embrace.Chapter ThreeJess woke up the next morning with Janine cuddled up beside him, one arm draped over his chest, her face buried in the crook of his neck.Chapter FourThe next morning, Janine woke up before Jess. Since she had remembered Jess muttering about having to pack his lunch, she decided to surprise him by packing it for him. Then she made eggs, biscuits, and a fresh pot of coffee.Chapter FiveJanine gasped and nearly hopped out of bed, not caring that she was only wearing Jess's Metallica shirt. "John!" she shrieked.Chapter SixWhen Jess went off to work, Janine hauled her brother out to show him the city. John continued to torment her all day, and she continued to ignore him, pointing out some shop or restaurant or statue. She told him how exciting it was, grinning and gesturing to emphasize her happiness. Then she told him about babysitting for Jess's friend and John took the moment as an excuse to lightly tickle her belly and tell her Jess was going to be having his own baby to watch soon enough. Her heart flipped again, and she wondered if it would ever stop doing that. Surely she would get used to hearing it.Chapter SevenWednesday, Janine's mother caught up to her.Chapter EightIt was the middle of September when Janine finally got a message from Jess.Chapter NineJohn had tried to talk to Janine again, but it was as she was getting ready to leave for work, so she just told him good-bye and left.Chapter Ten"Janie, I was thinking, why don't I stay here an extra day," John suggested.

It was all evening work, so she would be gone when Jess was home.Chapter FourteenThe next day, Janine couldn't seem to get up the nerve to say anything about her problems with Jess. She didn't know what to say. There was really nothing specifically wrong that she could think of, it was more of a general feeling.Chapter FifteenJanine waited until she knew John was out of classes before she texted him on Monday.Chapter SixteenPlanning the wedding was enough to keep Janine completely occupied. With all the work and careful planning a very small wedding was taking, she couldn't imagine planning a large wedding.Chapter SeventeenBefore she knew it, John arrived in the city.Chapter EighteenThe next day was a long one.Chapter NineteenAlthough Janine's life seemed to be balancing precariously on a tightrope, she decided to be optimistic and throw herself into the wedding.Chapter Twenty"I can't believe you're getting married," Karen said with a big grin as she zipped up Janine's dress and smiled at her in the mirror.
