Hey, Hey
Okay, you guys are AMAZING! ELEVEN REVIEWS! I adore all of you! So, I had to get another chapter out...hopefully, this one is a little longer!
Okay, so the story is kind of in Scotty's POV…but not like "I" or "Mine". It's in 3rd person but they are Scotty's thoughts.
Disclaimer…doesn't own characters or songs. Only own plot.
She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love growsShe grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey
Chapter 2
Wednesday April 13, 2011
"Happy Wednesday," Paul cheered shining his bright smile and walking into the kitchen where the American Idol Top Eight were sitting and eating breakfast
"Happy?" Lauren questioned, with a raised eyebrow "Last time I checked, one of us is getting eliminated tomorrow."
Paul shrugged his shoulders and sat on the stool next to Casey, at the end of the line. "What's for breakfast?" He questioned, looking around at the Idols. Haley was spooning cereal into her mouth with a half-dead look on her face, Casey and James had made pancakes and were now throwing bits and pieces at each other, Stefano had a piece of toast, Jacob was chewing on a bagel, and Scotty and Lauren were eating chocolate chip cookies while glancing at the other every few seconds. Paul paused as he saw what the two teens were eating and gave them a questioning look.
"No one was cooking us anything, so, we decided to eat cookies." Lauren explained, half-chewing one while she was talking
Scotty laughed to himself as the sixteen year old girl explained her reasoning. Lauren was absolutely hilarious and always brought her funny and outgoing personality, yet another reason why Scotty had fallen in love with her. He looked to his left and saw Lauren smiling her cheeky smile at Paul, a signal that she had won him over and then he wouldn't stop the two from enjoying their cookies.
"You're really weird," He said, looking at her "You know that, right?"
She nodded her head and swallowed her last cookie "Yup!" She exclaimed brightly and the two laughed as the rest of the Idols rolled their eyes at the teens who were acting very "Childish"
Within the next five minutes, the idols finished their breakfasts and ran up to their rooms for last minute preparations before they had to take a limo to the theater for last minute rehearsals and preparations for the night.
Scotty walked into the room that he shared with Casey and hopped onto his bed, he grabbed his little basketball that a fan sent him and started tossing it up and down; hoping it would relieve some of his "Wednesday Night Jitters". Casey walked into the room soon after and stared at Scotty for a second, watching him
"Can I help you?" Scotty finally asked, catching the basketball and then sitting up and turning towards Casey
"Yes actually," Casey said matter-of-fact-like "Haley just told me something…I need you to tell me if it is true or not."
Scotty stared at Casey in shock. Scotty knew what Haley told him and frankly, he was pissed "What was it?" He questioned
"Haley told me you like Lauren."
Shit, Scotty thought to himself, Casey, Haley, AND Stefano know. "I don't know what you're talking about." Scotty said, a blush rising to his face
"Okay," Casey said skeptically as Scotty ran out of the room and he followed "Let's believe that!"
The two of them ran down the long hallway towards the stairs, making the other idols come out of their rooms to watch their chase happen. "Oh, hey Lauren!" Casey called out as the two of them passed her and Haley's room, he waved to her and she waved back.
"IDOLS!" Their stage manager, Christy, called out as the eight idols finally grouped up at the door and walked to the limo. By then, it was around 10:30 and they had about nine hours until the live performances. Of course, they did have to do photo shoots, interviews, rehearsals, hair, makeup, and wardrobe in the next nine hours so they couldn't really be just sitting around and doing nothing.
Scotty was currently pacing around the Idol Lounge as Paul, James, Casey, and Haley were rehearsing, Jacob was picking out his wardrobe, Stefano was doing something in his dressing room, and Lauren was sitting on her purple couch, watching him.
"Nervous for tonight, Cowboy?" She questioned. Scotty nodded and Lauren moved her legs over so there was enough room for him, she patted the couch "Come talk to me."
"I'm nervous about the song…I'm guess I'm also nervous about going home. When Pia got eliminated last week," He paused and looked over to Lauren who was listening, or at least looked like she was listening. When you had friends like Stefano and Casey…it was a treat if someone at least LOOKED like they were listening in the Idol Mansion "Well, I guess it kind of hit me that anyone could go home at anytime, you know?"
Lauren nodded her head, her blonde locks shaking up and down as she did so "I would hate for you to go home…for anyone to go home,"
Scotty smiled, she said she would hate for HIM to go home. "Right, I mean, who else would you go to school with?"
"Exactly!"
The two laughed for a moment before going into an awkward silence, well, until Haley, James, and Stefano walked in "Hey!" Haley called out, waving to them as she sat on one of the chairs next to the couch
"How'd your rehearsal go?" Lauren question, looking over to Haley
"Pretty good, how was yours?"
"Good," Lauren replied "It's gonna be sad when one of us has to go home tomorrow."
The five sat in an awkward silence, at least, until Stefano spoke up "I hope that it is Haley," The group went silent for a moment, then Haley spun around to look at Stefano and started telling him off while James, Lauren, and Scotty tried to control their laughter. Key word: Tried.
"That is SO not nice!" Haley exclaimed, hitting Stefano on the shoulder
"You can't hurt me Haley," Stefano teased, leaning back onto the chair he was sitting on "I have sick nasty muscles."
"I hate you."
"Tell me something I don't know babe, tell me something I don't know." With that, Haley left the room, clearly pissed off. Lauren and Scotty were staring open-mouthed at Stefano as James laughed at his roommate. Stefano looked at the two teens "What?" He shrugged his shoulders "It is pretty fun pissing Haley off."
"Scotty you were amazing!" Lauren praised as soon as he walked off of the stage, filled with relief at being done for one more week.
"Thanks Laur," Scotty replied, giving her a hug as the two walked to the Coca-Cola Lounge to sit and finish watching four of the other idols perform.
"Who'd you thinks going to go home?" Lauren asked shyly, looking over to Scotty every few seconds
"I don't know. Not you, you did really well." Scotty said, looking over at Lauren when he wasn't looking at her
"Thanks Scotty," She replied with a genuine smile "I don't think you're gonna go home either."
The two sat in silence, looking at each other when the other wasn't looking and stealing glances at the screen every so often to catch what the other idols were doing on stage.
"You excited for our duet tomorrow?" Scotty finally questioned, to which Lauren nodded enthusiastically. "Me too."
"I totally love the song," Lauren added in as Scotty nodded his head. The duo was singing American Honey by Lady Antebellum
"We are gonna rock it, too." Scotty said, stretching out on the couch that he and Lauren were sitting on "We did amazing on our last duet."
Lauren nodded again, and then glanced at the clock sitting on the wall. The show was almost over and the Idols had to get changed for interviews "I got to go get changed for the Interviews, see you later Scotty." She said, giving him a hug
"Bye Lauren," Scotty said, returning the hug and then waving as the girl he loved walked gracefully out of the room. Scotty sat on the couch as Stefano walked in.
"Good job tonight bro," Stefano said as the two pounded knuckles
"Thanks," Scotty replied "Lauren told me that too."
"Oh snap!" Stefano cried out in mock-happiness "Lauren told Scotty that he did an amazing job! The church bells are ringing! Angels are singing! I'm gonna go shopping for a wedding rin-"
"Shut up!" Scotty cried, clasping a hand over the older boy's mouth
"Sorry." Stefano said, holding in a laugh "I get a little carried away sometimes."
"A little?" Scotty asked with a raised eyebrow
"Yup!"
Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
And American honey
