Olivia's POV:
I woke up with a start. I saw a small figure rubbing my shirt. "Lemonade?" I croaked. The little cat looked at me and purred. I smiled and gently sat up. I picked up Lemonade and caressed her head. "Well, good morning to you too!" I giggled. Lemonade just cuddled on my chest. Suddenly, I heard a grumbling sound. "Guess I'm hungry!" Lemonade shifted uncomfortably to the sound of my tummy. "Let's go kitty," I picked her up and cradled her in my arms like a baby. Stella teased that Lemonade is MY baby with Wen. Pfft. Just because Wen gave me Lemonade as a gift doesn't mean it's like OUR child, right? Well, not that I don't want to have a child with Wen. Wait. Let me rephrase that. That doesn't MEAN that I don't like Wen to be... Ugh! FORGET IT. I brushed off those humiliating thoughts away. "Let's just go, Lemonade," I jumped off my bed and headed to the kitchen.
"Thanks for the breakfast, Gram!" I said after I placed the plates in the dishwasher. Suddenly, the phone rang. Lemonade meowed. "I'll get it," Gram offered and placed the phone near her ear, "H-hello?" I glanced at Lemonade, happily drinking/licking her milk. "Oh, Mary. Yes-" Gram started having a converation with her long-time friend, Mary. I sat on the couch and looked outside the window.
Speaking of phones, I remembered the voicemail my dad mad eme last night. A tear escaped my right eye. I can't still believe he'll come back! I smiled form ear-to-ear. Anyway, I picked up the remote and turned on the television. The first thing I saw on t.v was a picutre of six of us and a talkshow host. It was our first interview on t.v. It happened just two weeks ago. After that, we signed a contract to do our second majpr concert that we practiced for two weeks. And that concerts happened just yesterday. The news was about our interview. I rolled my eyes playfully and listened. "...and there was a very interesting scene that happened. let's take a look," the host said. My eyes widened.
-scene-
"Speaking of someone special, Scott and Mohini, how is your relationship holding up under all this whole pressure?" Moxie asked Mo after her question to Charlie. Mo leaned forward and played with her earring and mouthed, "!"
"Relationship?" Mo's father stood up. "Mohini. What relatiosnhip?"
Mo looked at her father and whispered, "We talked about this, papa. No, there's nothing-"
"No, no. Actually, it's not Mo. it's me," I defended. I know Mo needed help back there. Everyone got confused. I looked at Mo and she was shocked. then I glanced at Wen and he glared at me in a confused way.
"Who?" he mouthed.
"Me." I think.
Mo then looked at Scott for an explanation. He raised his hands in surrender, "I have no idea what she's talking about." Some of the audience laughed. Oh no, they got the wrong intuition.
"No, no, no! I mean... Me and Wen!" I blurted out. "We've been dating-ish, I guess." I saw Wen nod awkwardly.
"Haven't we? I mean we have, haven't we? Well, I think we have, haven't we? Sort of? Or not, it's okay." I babbled. I can't believe I saying such things! I leaned bck at the chair, feeling so humiliated.
Wen stared at me, but I can't identify his feelings. Then he turned to Moxie and said those words that made my heart skip a beat. A LOT OF BEATS.
"No, no, no. I mean, yeah. She's..," he looked at me, grinning. "She's my girl."
The audience clapped. She's my girl. That mad me smile like crazy! I looked at his hand and it was offering to mine. I accpeted it and I interwined with his fingers.
"Looks like love is in bloom for Lemonade Mouth!" Moxie announced.
-scene-
They cut off Stella's speech and then played the video of us singing Highwire. One part there was when Wen kissed my hand. It was the second most romantic thing he did for me that day. I really can't believe it that they made that a headline! I mean, the part where I told them that Wen and I are dating-ishwas sorta like a joke or something. Well, not necessarily a joke but after the interview and the song, I talked about it with Wen.
-backstage-
I needed to find Wen. I have to clear the misunderstanding. Good thing Mo's father now accepts Mo and Scott's relationship. In the other hand, I don't think mine's real. I saw the guy I was hunting for.
"Hey," I manage to greet before I can collapse. He turned around, I saw him holding a bottle of water.
"Oh, hi."
"So, about the thing a while ago..." I stepped forward but looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes.
"What thing?" he asked. is he playing dumb?
"The dating-ish."
"Oh, that. No biggie," he smiled warmly.
"So we can leave that behind, right?'" I asked a litte softly.
"Oh," his smile fade away. Then he shook his head and laughed like he had a silly thought. "Yeah, of course. All of that was nothing. Just helping out Mo. Playing along."
Those three statements. Made my heart break down.
I smiled faintly, "Yes, exactly. Well, I gotta go. See ya." Then I turned around, not wanting to let him see my tears.
"Bye, 'Liv."
-backstage-
I can still see the exact scene in my mind from then on. So it really meant nothing to him? I was hoping he would confess his feelings to me so I would do too! After that, we told the press that there was no relationship at all. We were just helping Mo out. But, it still occurs to me that he just treats me as his bandmate and friend. I really wanted to tell him so badly that I was and still madly in love with him! Guess, I'm not really his girl.
