Disclaimer: I do not own Another Cinderella Story or do I claim too; my work below is merely just a continuation of the film in my eyes. Credit goes to the author for creating and inspiring me to write my own fan-fiction. Since this is the first time I have ever wrote/published anything I would appreciate it if you kept that in mind!
"Mary?"
"Yeah"
"Can you plug my phone into the stereo for me"
"Of course I can"
Of all the songs he could've picked, he happened to pick ours. That got me thinking. As if any of this is real right now, Mary wake up... why are you doing this to us? That's when it hits me that I'm actually free.
'You're the new classic; you're the new PYT, stands for paid young taking on the world from the driver's seat...'
"As much as I love this, where are we going to stay Joey?"
"Do you not trust me at all, I got this all planned out. What's my name?"
"Joey Parker..."
"That's right now what's my name?"
"Joey Parker"
"Now one last time, what's my name?"
"Joey Parker, the second best dancer in the world!"
For that Joey starts tickling me, so like any girlfriend would do to stop their boyfriend from tickling them I silence him with a kiss.
"I will never get tired of kissing you."
"Good cause I wouldn't want you too."
Holding that in mind I settle into my seat, it's been a long day.
"Mary, wake up… were finally here!"
"Joey what are all those girls doing outside the car park?"
"I have a slight suspicion that it's something to do with Dominique. Let's forget about that for now though, so I can show you our new place."
"You mean your new place."
"No, I'm serious, this is our new place. I will eventually have to go back on tour soon and I want you to be safe while I'm gone."
"Thank you." I say not mentioning the fact that they have dorms on campus of Manhattan's school of dance.
After Joey gave me an in depth tour of 'our' new place. He mentioned ordering food, something that I would never say no to. Calling for Chinese did not take long at all, even better I had time to go see if Joey was still showering.
"Joey where are your DVDs?"
"One second..."
Joey's POV
Putting on a pair of bottoms, I realized that I forgot to bring a top into the bathroom. It's not like Mary's going to care right? Turning the corner into my bedroom, I find Mary.
"Joey... ummh, there you are."
"Mary Santiago, are you checking me out?"
"Pfttt no."
"Really?" I say walking towards her.
*Buzzz*
"I should go get that, don't wanna to keep the delivery guy waiting!"
"Hahaha sure you don't, cash is by the table next to the door."
"Righttt, I knew that."
After eating the food and placing a film into the DVD player, Mary and I settle down into the couch. Eventually going our separate ways to sleep for the night.
For some reason, I wake up to hear thrashing in the room next door... MARY!
"Mom please don't go, don't leave me. STAY. You can stay."
"Mary wake up, it's me... your fine. You're safe; everything's going to be okay."
I hate to see her like this. It doesn't help that she's such a deep sleeper, I'll never be able to get her to fully wake up from this nightmare that she's having. So I call Dustin, regardless of the time.
"The funk is here, its 3 am in the morning what do you want? Speak fast."
"Its JP, Mary's having this really bad nightmare and she won't wake up. Is Tami there?"
On the other end of the line, I hear Dustin waking Tami up.
"Joey, what's wrong!? Mary's okay right?"
"She won't be if she stays in the sleeping state that she's in for much longer."
"She's not waking up!?"
"MOM, DON'T GO."
"Not again! From what I know, I mean whenever Mary used to be like this her dad would sing to her, that is before the douche bag left."
"K, thanks for the help Tami. I gotta go." "Mary, you're the new classic. You're the new PYT, stands for paid young taking on the world from the driver's seat. You look so fantastic..."
All of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye. Mary wakes up with pools of tears running down her face. "Mary look everything's going to be okay. In a week's time, you'll be starting Dance school in Manhattan. You're going to make your mother even more proud than she already is. Heck, you're making me proud, and I've only just come into your life. You have nothing to worry about." After about half an hour of reassuring Mary that everything's going to be fine, along with a bunch of hugs and tears. Her eyes start to close, yet she forcefully pushes then back open over and over again. "Mary you need to go to sleep, would it help if I stayed with you?"
"Would you?"
"Of course, what are boyfriends for?"
Lying in bed, staring out into the night sky I managed to stay up thinking. Maybe it's time that I start writing some new songs. After all, Mary being my Muse has helped me more than ever, she deserves to have a whole album dedicated to her.
Mary's POV
Turning over I see Joey lying awake next to me. "Morning"
"Morning, you okay now?"
"Thanks to you, yes"
"Want to go out to get something to eat?"
"Sounds good."
Thankfully, it doesn't take me or Joey long to get ready. Although getting outside of the apartment is going to be harder than it looks. "Joey paparazzi are surrounding the building… what are we going to do?"
"We are going to go outside, and walk through the crowd as if no one wants to see us. The paparazzi are most likely going to play up the fact that you are officially my girlfriend, but who cares? As long as we're happy then that's all that matters."
"Mary, Joey over here!"
"Mary!"
"Mary over here, sources have mentioned the fact that your mom's anniversary is coming up. How do you feel about her not being here?"
"Your mom passed away... Isn't superstar Dominique your mother!?"
"Joey, I can't do this."
"Mary, it's okay! They're just trying to get something out of you."
"You have no family left is this correct?"
"Why does this matter to all of you? I can't help it." Tears start endlessly running down my eyes and I can't stop them. I do the only thing that I can think of, with that in mind I push my way through the crowd and run… In the background I hear Joey calling my name. I can't wait though...
I really hope that you guys reading this thought that it was okay. Saying that I just wanted to apologize for constantly changing the point of view, and also for the fact that the whole story is basically comprised of dialogue. Remember that I'm completely new to this so please tell me what I might be doing wrong or really just anything like that, I don't exactly have that much of a plan as to where this story is going to go... so if you have any suggestions then don't hesitate to comment. Please review if you have the time!
