Fixing Myra.

Wake Up, Work Out, Who TF Is Johnny Jacobs?

*Myra's POV*

After everything with Dakota happened we decided we'd head up to camp.

Todd texted Brady and said that they were already up there.

It was about midnight when we got back up and my mom had the guitar out playing it.

"Hi honey! Finally you're here!" She said pulling Drake and I down next to her.

"Yeah, your tone deaf mom was killing us!" My dad laughed.

"Oh shut up Bruce." she laughed.

My dad looked at Drake. "Let me take a guess, he didnt take my advice?" he asked.

"No, no he didnt." Blake said to our dad.

"What's he look like." Joe laughed.

"Like he got hit by a truck." Nate laughed.

"Atta boy." Todd said throwinh his arm over Drake.

"No, not from me. All I did was slam him on the ground a few times."

"Then who whooped his ass?" Joe asked.

"Well, Micha Nate and I managed to pull him off of Dakota when Blake came over and told him he was lucky all he did was slam him on the ground." Brady laughed. "Then this one." he pointed to Cooper, "Cracked him in his face and told him he wasnt that lucky."

"Then he came back and Myra ended up pushing through Drake, Brady and I, punched him in the face, knocked him to the ground and kicked his ass." Nate laughed.

"Thats my girl!" My dad said throwing his arms over me.

"You're drunk dad." I laughed.

"Come on My, play a song for us." Todd said making my mom give me the guitar.

Everyone gathered around the fire.

"What do you want to hear?" I asked.

*Drake's POV*

Everyone gathered around the fire.

"What do you want to hear?" Myra asked everyone.

"Play that Mayday Parade song My." Natalie said plopping down on Jordans lap.

"Oh yeah! I love that one!" Lexi said grabbing Coopers hand to come sit with her.

"Alright." She said tuning the guitar.

She started to play.

When you're alone, do you think of me?

And my diamond rings thrown out to sea.

And when you love, do you love for me?

Like harmony, a never ending dream.

Oh well, oh well. I still hope for the best.

Say goodbye and send me off with a kiss farewell.

And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be.

Maybe you could get some sleep tonight.

So here's your song. It's twisting me.

I'd give anything to make you scream.

And I'll just smile, and make believe I don't feel a thing.

That doesn't work for me.

Oh well, oh well. Guess I'll see you in hell.

There's a pretty little picture that's in my head.

And I'm starting to dream, changing colours while I sleep.

Maybe I'm just wasting time.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack.

I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart,

And it's not easy to talk about.

So we all scream loud.

And that was it.

I had made it clean just across the street with my new wings.

So I'll just fly and hope that I remember the good times when it's done.

Oh well, oh well.

I can't live with myself as I'm climbing in your window to get to your bed.

And I'll be what you need,

You can call me anything

Just as long as we're still friends.

Sit still and listen to the soundtrack.

I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart, and it's not easy to talk about.

So we all sing.

When she smiles, well it's got nothing to do with me.

I'm not the one who sings her to sleep.

And I've been talking to God asking for just a little help with you but it's hopeless.

It's not the first time but this one really carved it in.

Tell your new friends that they don't know you like I do.

It's over. I wanna see you again. I wanna feel it again.

Oh, it's not the first time, but this one really carved it in.

Tell your new friends that no one knows you like I do.

It's over. I wanna see you again. I wanna feel it again.

I'll keep you warm safe in my arms. 'Til heaven calls, keep holding on.

She really was incredible. She gets so in to it.

"Hell yeah!" Joe yelled. "God I miss this. All of us together like this."

"You know what?" Bruce said. "A Cheers, right now."

Everyone stood up.

"To Old Times and Good Times!" Todd raised his bottle. Then looked at Jordan, Cooper and I. He smiled. "And to the new members of the family."

The three of us looked at eachother and smiled.

We tipped our bottles back.

"So now on a more serious note." Todd says looking at Myra.

He points at her. "Why havent you been training?" He crossed his arms.

*Myra's POV*

"Why havent you been training?" Todd asked me crossing his arms.

"I have been." I said quietly.

"Oh no, once a week sessions in the back yard is not training Myra Anne!" He yelled.

"OOOOO the middle name!" my dad laughed.

"Well I'll be making a call in the morning to one of our Navy buddies to get you training again. He'll get you in shape." Todd said.

"Oh s**t I forgot Hoosey was down there." My dad laughed. "You're in for it darlin! Hoosey taught us everything we know."

"You box too Mr. Rumford?" Jordan asked my dad.

"Yeah son, we all do! We were in the Navy. Gotta have something to occupy your time!" Joe laughed.

"Alright guys, enough busting Myra's chops." Momma Bren told the dads.

"Yeah, it's late. off to bed!" My mom said.

We all sighed but listened anyway.

The girls and I went to one camper, the boys in another, My parents and Nates parents in the bigger one, and Brady and his parents went to theirs.

I got in the camper and changed in to a pair of spandex shorts and a sports bra because I was sweating.

I looked at my phone and it was 1:15. I automatically passed out.

"AHH!" i screamed and woke up because i was now wet and cold! I was outside laying on a picnic table.

I sat up and saw my dad and Joe over making coffee.

"Rise and shine sweetcheeks." Todd said pulling me off the table.

"Damn it Todd. What time is it?" I asked.

"It's 5:30. Up and atum!" he said tossing me my sneakers.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"We're training this morning! You're not throwing your boxing career away!" he said lacing his shoes. "I made that call. Hoosey's gonna meet you tuesday after school with his boy!"

"If he's training me why does he need his boy with him?" I asked still wiping the sleep from my eyes.

"Hooseys only a coach now. You're gonna be training and sparring his boy." Todd said throwing me a water bottle.

"You're ridiculous." I told him.

"No, I wanna see you win a set of golden gloves My." he smiled. "Now lets go!"

We started running.

"Why dont you push Brady this hard?" I asked him.

"He didn't tell you?" Todd asked.

"Tell me what?"

"Brady got his shoulder knocked out of place this summer. He had surgery in July. Broke his heart that hes out now."

"Jesus." I said.

"He hasn't really told anyone yet." he told me.

We just ran the camp a few times.

We got back to the site and my dad was hanging a heavy back from a tree.

"Are you really making me do this?" I asked.

He threw me a pair of gloves. "What do you think?"

Todd pushed me up to the heavy bag, "You remember the combos?" he asked.

I smiled at him and started swinging.

I did that for about 20 minutes.

He walked away and put hand pads on.

"Are you serious?' I asked.

"As a heart attack."

This was going to be a long morning.

*Drake's POV*

I woke up to noise outside.

I looked at my phone.

It was 7:00 and I noticed I had a message from Johnny.

J; Is Myra's last name Rumford?

I replied.

D; Yes? Why?

J; You could've told me Bruce was her dad Drake.

Wait a damn second.

D; Hoosey?

J; Oh dear god. Don't you even start

I laughed.

D; I never knew you boxed.

J; I learned at a young age. Got more in to it in the Navy with her dad, Todd, and Joe.

D; I guess Todd called you?

J; He did. Mitch and I start training her Tuesday.

D; Really? Why Mitch?

J; Hes a personal trainer Drake. I cant spar anymore wither with my knee.

D; This should be good.

J; Go enjoy your last day. Tell the fellas I said hi and I'll see you tomorrow.

I rolled out of bed and saw the guys in the little dining room of our camper looking out the window.

"What the hell is that noise?" I asked.

"Lets go out and you'll see." Blake laughed.

We walked out and saw Myra punching Todds hands.

She put her hands down away from her face and Todd hit her in the head with one of the hand pads.

"Ha!" Blake laughed.

"Shut up." she yelled at him. "What the hell Todd?"

"You let your guard down! Focus Myra!" He yelled.

I walked over to Joe and Bruce and said down.

"So, Hoosey said hi." I told them.

They looked at me. So did all the guys.

"What the hell you talking about?" Bruce asked.

"Johnny Jacobs." I said.

The younger guys looked at eachother and then to me.

I shook my head saying yes.

"OH s**t. " Cooper and Jordan started laughing.

"HAAAA." Blake yelled laughing.

"NO DAMN WAY!" Nate and Micha both yelled laughing

"How in the hell?" Joe asked.

"Johnny's my stepdad."

They both laughed. "No s**t!" Bruce laughed.

"Toddy take a break and get over here."

Myra and Todd walked over to us.

"Tell him what you just told us boy!" Joe laughed.

I shook my head and laughed. "Johnny Jacobs is my step dad!"

Todd lost it laughing.

"Whats so funny?" she asked. "Whose that?"

"Johnny Jacobs is Hoosey." Todd laughed slapping his knee.

"Mitch is his boy!" Bruce laughed.

All the guys were laughing now and Myra had a blank face.

"You've gotta be f*****g kidding me!" Myra yelled.

Blake was hollering and laughing "You're boyfriends step dad is your new boxing coach!" He laughed dropping to the ground!

"And Mitch is your personal trainer and sparring partner." I yelled laughing bent over.

"What in gods name is going on out here." Miss Bren and Sheila came running out of the camper.

All the guys looked at them and started laughing harder.

"Mom!" Michas laughing! "Do you know who her new boxing coach is?"

"Of course I do! Its Hoosey!" she said.

"And whats Hooseys real name honey?" Bruce asked laughing.

"Johnny Jacobs? Why?" she looked confused.

"Miss Sheila whats my moms last name?" I asked laughing hysterically.

"It's Jaco-- OHHH!" she laughed. "Oh honey!"

"ITS NOT FUNNY MOM!" Myra said stomping in to her camper.

IT WAS FUNNY!
