How about…LOVE
How about…LOVE

Measure in love.

Seasons of Love.

"CUT! CUT! CUT!" our choir director yelled. Katherine and I were in the freshman chorus at St. Cecilia's. "Sopranos, you need to stay in tempo. Let's start at measure 17."

There was a knock on the door. Mr. Buck went to open it. Our school secretary was at the door; she whispered something to Mr. Buck. He closed the door. "Megan, there is someone in the office to see you. Bring your stuff with you, you're going home."

I grabbed my stuff and started walking to the front office. It was Tuesday, May 20. Almost 3 months since I had last seen Nick. He had called me everyday, just like he said he would. School ended on Friday. Summer! No longer was I going to be a freshman, but a sophomore. I walked up the steps to the front office and walked in. "Are you Megan?" the secretary asked.

"Yes, why am I leaving early?"

"There was an emergency. There is a young man waiting outside for you." I signed out and went to get my backpack from my locker. I shoved all of my books into my bag and walked outside.

"Hello, Beautiful," I heard someone say behind me.

I spun around. "Nick?" I ran towards him and gave him a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen you in 3 months! I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too, but what are you doing here?"

"Umm…" he looked depressed.

"Nick, what's wrong? The secretary said there was an emergency."

Nick looked at me in the eyes, "My grandpa had a heart attack…"

"Billy? O my gosh, is he OK?"

It looked like Nick was holding back tears and he pulled me into another hug. I started crying on his shoulder. We just stood in the parking lot for a while. "Let's go to the bus," Nick said.

"Is your family here?" I asked.

"Yes, we are going to be in town for a week for the funeral and stuff."

Nick put his arm around my waste and we walked towards the bus. "Did you call me parents?"

"Yes, we said you would be spending some time with us."

We walked onto the bus. The first person I saw was Mrs. Jonas. I gave her a hug, "I'm so sorry," I said.

"Thank you," she replied. I gave the rest of the family hugs.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"No idea," Nick said. "We just decided to pick you up from school, we really didn't get too much further than that. I think we're going out to the Spaghetti Factory tonight and talking to the funeral director."

Nick took me to the back of the bus and I put my head on his shoulder. "So, how have you been?" he asked.

"Good, I've missed you so much, though."

"I've missed you too."

When I meet the wizard,

Once I prove my worth

And then I'll meet the wizard

What I've waited for since birth

"Hello?"

"Megan, I'm so sorry, I heard about Billy," my mom said.

"Thanks, mom."

"Where are you going?"

"I think we're just going to dinner and talking to the funeral person."

"OK, well say hi to Nick for me," she said.

"OK, bye, mom."

"Bye, honey."

I closed my phone. Mr. Jonas came back in the bus, "Nick, your mom and I are going to talk to the funeral director. Are you guys just going to stay into the bus?"

"Yes, I guess so."

"OK, well we'll be back in maybe an hour or so. There's food here and Kevin and Joe are in the front lounge."

"Thanks, dad," Mr. Jonas left the bus.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Nick asked me.

"Sure," I replied. Nick put Rent in the DVD player and laid down next to me.

"Are you going to cry again?" he asked me.

"Probably," he laughed.

I looked over at the clock. It was 3:30. "I have some homework to do," I said. I sat up and grabbed my backpack.

"Do you need help?" Nick asked.

"Yes, I have no idea what I'm doing in algebra." We spent about 30 minutes trying to find the slope of parallel lines. "OK, I think I'm done," I finally said. The movie was over. "You're parents have been out for a while."

"I'm not complaining," Nick whispered, and then his lips touched mine.

"DUDE, SHE'S BEEN HERE FOR 3 HOURS AND YOU'RE ALREADY MAKING OUT?" Joe yelled as he walked into the back lounge. "GOSH, I THINK YOU BURNED MY EYES."

"Joe, you are so immature!" Nick yelled. "Get out!"

"No, I want to watch a movie."

"Well go watch it somewhere else!"

"Why don't you go make out somewhere else?"

"Fine, maybe we will," Nick said, dragging me to the front room.

"Hold on, hold on," Kevin yelled. "Let me leave the room before you burn my eyes out too!"

"Your brothers are so immature," I said.

"I know," Nick replied. He leaned in to kiss me again.

"NICK!" Frankie yelled.

"Wow, Frankie, what are you doing there?" Frankie was sitting under the table.

"I don't know," he ran out from under the table into the back room.

"I'm sorry," Nick said.

"No problem." Nick leaned in, once again when…

"We're back!" Mr. Jonas yelled. Nick quickly moved away from me and sat at the table.

"So, do you guys want to go out to dinner, now?"

I hope you liked it. Tonight I'm going to their concert :D I'm to excited. Please Comment :D
