Take my hand tonight.
Chapter 1 Nick's POV
My brothers and I were having a good time walking down to the park to play soccer. (Including Frankie.) Well first Joe tossed the soccer ball up and smacked him in the face and he made a funny sound. It was so funny. We were telling hilarious stories until we reached the park.
"Ok Joe and I are together. Kevin, you and Frankie. Joe and I have the ball first." I was goalie so was Frankie and Kevin and Joe started. Wow, Kevin was doing a whole lot better than last time. The ball was coming my way. "Joe! Defence! C'mon you're sucking!" I screamed at him. Finally he knocked the ball from Kevin. My attention was distracted when I saw something move really fast across the road. It stopped.
"Nick, Nick what are you looking at?" Kevin said waving his hand in front of my face.
"There's something over there." I said quietly.
"Huh?" Joe said and looked over where I was. "Dude, there nothing there." I looked over and it was gone. I swore I saw something. Oh well I just have to focus on the game.
15 Minutes later
The score was 6-3. We were winning. Well essentially the game was over because Frankie was being a bad sport and throwing a fit because they were losing. We were going to the snack counter for food. I saw that shadow again. Maybe the heat was getting to me. After all it was about 90 degrees outside. Joe was ordering.
"Ummmmmm...I'll have a cheeseburger and a... ummmmmm... Dr. Pepper." Took him long enough. Kevin was already chowing down on his hot dog.
"And I'll have a diet coke and 2 hotdogs."
"2 hot dogs?"
"Hey Kevin had 3."
"True." We had our food and sat down on at a picnic table. Our mom packed Frankie a lunch. Typical. Of course Frankie was begging for me to buy him a soda. Nope he gets insane when he has sugar. Not kidding.
Milei's POV
I was running around this neighbourhood like no tomorrow. I was dodging every corner because granted someone was looking for me. I saw a park. I ran into it and climbed a tree. I was like a squirrel. Actually I met a squirrel up there. I spotted a figure in the soccer field. Wait...there are four. I've seen them somewhere before. *THUMP*
"OW!" I shrieked. I fell out of the tree and hit my head. I saw the figures moving away. Where were they going? I know who they are now! They're the boys from the band JONAS. The Lucas boys. I ran to the other tree by the snack bar. Jumped high up in the tree. I was eavesdropping. Oops.
"Dude, I think you're going a little crazy because there is no one there when you see that shadow thingy er whatever." Joe the straight-kind of wavy haired singer said.
"I'm not I swear I see it. Just it's gone whenever you look. Whatever the hell it is." Nick the curly long haired drummer said. My favorite one of them all.
"Whatever it is doesn't exist. I think the heats getting to you. Drink more of your diet coke." Kevin the ultra curly guitar player said. Nick shook his head and ate his hot dogs. Oh great I've become a stalker. Shit.
"Anyway to get off the subject I can't wait for the Olympics in a month. That one track runner her last name is Hanson. What's her first name?" Joe said snapping his finger s to remember my name.
"Milei Hanson you mean?" Nick said.
"Yeah that's her. She seems really good. Isn't she competing in gymnastics and track and swimming?"
"Yeah, but I'm not sure if she's in swimming." Kevin said.
"She seems great at it. Another thing she's good at is being beautiful." Nick said and Joe slapped the back of his head. "Sorry." I giggled because it was actually funny. Then my phone started ringing.
"Hey is that tree ringing?" Uh-oh. Got to go, gotta run fast.
"Gah!" I screamed. My foot was stuck on a branch. I fell down being suspended by my foot stuck.
"Hey were you eavesdropping on us?" They all got up from the table.
"Maybe, well actually I was in the tree collecting...leaf samples. You know for science." I was lying because they couldn't see my face. Otherwise they would have recognized me.
"Nick, spin her around." Joe ordered. He spun me around. They got one quick look of my face then I fell to the ground and hit my head... again.
"Oh my gosh it's her!!!! It's Milei Hanson!!! The Olympic trainer!!!!!" They all started flipping out except for Frankie.
"Yeah your point being?" I said sitting up and rubbing my head.
"We're your biggest fans!!" Kevin said all of them stepping forward.
"You're pretty!" Nick said and Joe slapped him again.
"Ok yeah would you like a medal? Now if you don't mind my head really hurts. Thank you for spinning me I could have managed it myself." I said I stood up and I took one step forward and my world started spinning. One of them grabbed my back.
"Um... are you ok?" I recognized the voice. Nick.
"Yep just fine. A little dizzy but I'm fine." I took another step and fell back down. "Ok no I'm not I think I have a concussion. Thanks a lot I appreciate it." I flipped my brown with tiny little blonde highlights behind my back and they grabbed my arms and helped me up. Next thing I know I'm at their firehouse. They sat me down and I had ice pressed to my head. Their parents came downstairs. Their dad started flipping out.
"So now I'm ultra famous? Just because of the Olympics?"
"Yeah essentially. Where do you live? We'll take you home."Joe said grabbing a pair of car keys.
"Uh, about that..."
"What?" Nick asked leaning on that counter.
"I don't have a place to stay right now. Well currently."
"Why?" Mrs. Lucas asked.
"It's kind of a long story. But I ran a little too far and I bet my family thought I already took the plane to Tokyo."
"Oh sweetie you can stay here. If you need to but take the plane already it's a month and a half away." Mrs. Lucas said putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Oh Mrs. Lucas I couldn't I'm afraid I would have to train non-stop. I need to make up for a little lost time."
"We have a gym just down the hall. It has a treadmill."
"Um well I guess that would be okay. I guess I could crash on the couch."
"No you get the guest room."
"You have a guest room? In a firehouse?"
"Yeah we had it built in."
"But I don't have any clothes with me."
"We'll take you shopping."
"Uh...mom I think you will. You know girl to girl." Nick said.
"Yeah that's what I meant." Their mom and I started laughing and she grabbed her keys and we went.
