I don't own how to rock or its characters.
Always touching.
They were always touching, no matter what they were doing, it was like they needed to touch each other, to know that they were there that it wasn't a dream. Everyone saw it, and some said they were together, the thrush was that they weren't, they were best friends. But best friends don't touch each other that much, or flirt the same amount of times they touch.
They didn't know what to do if the other wasn't besides them, even in class they worked better together. It was the strange connection they have, nobody knew when it began exactly, but they knew it was there. Even they knew they have this special connection, they knew it the day the first met.
She was the youngest of the five, it was funny because she looked like the mother, he was one year older than her just as Kacey. They were the parents of the band, nobody questioned when they took a decision together, it was an unspoken rule. Even when Nelson and Kevin were the oldest they acted like the youngest, it was funny to see how this family worked.
She was different from any girl he had met, she was special. He remembers everything related to her: she likes the strawberry milkshake with a hamburger with everything except for the tomatoes, she listened Coldplay and Paramore but she liked Plain White T's songs. She stayed late to make her homework, she would bit her lip every time he made a funny comment when she was angry, she loved to be taken care but she would never admitted. She would write every song with him and have a couple of her own, she could sing amazingly but she didn't like to.
He was a lady's man, always having a new one in line, never losing his charm. But every time she needed him, he would stop whatever he was doing to help her. She knew the real guy behind the lady's man facade. He was sweet and really comfortable as a pillow, and warm like a blanket for winter. He would smile genuinely only to her and would beat up whoever wanted to hurt her. He would take her of her when she was sick, and she loved that and she knew he knew it, but she would never admitted it out loud.
They were so close yet so distant, they were perfect but they didn't know it. As if there was a blind in their eyes, and they didn't know how to take it off. Everyone thought they were together or at least that they were meant to be, but they couldn't see through the blind, and stayed the same. Just know they had a special thing.
And he would become a senior and she would watch him train football, as the quarterback, as the star. She would watch him play with the girls and then turn around, feeling a little hurt but not saying a word. And Kacey would try to make them date, but as always they would respond that they were best friends.
Without them knowing they fall for each other, and when Stevie found out she went to Kacey's and cry, because anything would be like it was before that. And Kacey told her everything would be okay, that there was nothing to worry if they were really best friends. For everyone's surprise they started to act weird, they barely touch each other or even flirt. They went like this for about a month until non of them endeared anymore, they fight like they never fight, they yell and scream and throw each other things. And out of frustration they did this, at least that was what everyone liked to think.
He cried for her and she for him, because they had that special thing. And everyone knew they were meant to be, but they didn't accept it like everyone did. That was the day she close her mouth and didn't pronounce a single word, that was the day he left behind his ukulele and never looked back. And for the band they stay together, but just for the slightest time.
And the kids of the family didn't like the fight their father and mother were having now, so they make a plan, not to brilliant, and locked them together for one more time. There was again screams and shouts, the things were throw to each other, they went closer and closer without knowing, she punched him hard in the stomach and he didn't flinch even a bit. He looked at her directly to the eyes and then did something unexpected for everyone, he didn't hit her or shout her or throw something and her, he hugged her, tightly to his chest. For the first time she cried in his arms and he cried with her, both mumbling apologizes. He looked at her and she smile, a genuine smile, and she kissed him, and he kissed back, now both knowing what was that special thing that help the to didn't break apart.
And when they finish they called the kids once again, because the family had become better just because of them. And the band singed one new song, one that both parents wrote with their soul, a song that was better than anything they had wrote before.
-I think you got a little to personal my sarcastic comment Kacey.-
-What sarcastic comment?-
-the one were I said Zander and I were deeply in love.-
-I can see through your lie Stevie. You like him and he likes you back.-
-Some silly things come to your mind Kacey.-
-You both know I'm here?-
-Zander please tell her we're just best friends.-
-yeah, about that...-
-What?-
-We qualify as a couple, the only difference is we don't fight or kiss.-
-See Zander sees you as his couple.-
-Nope, we are great as we are.-
-Like an unofficial couple.-
-Watch out Robbins, you're walking on thin ice.-
-You can't hurt me, you love me.-
-Yeah I do love you, but I will hurt you if you deserve it.-
With that she walked away leaving everyone shock.
-She loves me!-
-I told you.-
He got a text message from her.
-Gotta run guys, my girlfriend is waiting for me.-
They laugh knowing that it was only because she wasn't there. Kacey's story was right, they were like a family, with their parents and siblings.
The end.
