Fifteen

Jeffery struggled to tie his tie.

He turned to look at the girl in the room with him.

She was laughing at his struggle.

She walked to him.

"Why can't boys tie ties?"

Jeffery shot her a glare.

The girl quickly tied it for him and then looked at him.

Jeffery looked at himself in the mirror and then his eyes met hers in the mirror.

"Thanks Zoe."

Zoe smiled.

"No problem."

They looked amazing.

Jeffery was wearing a suit with a white tie and red shirt.

Zoe was wearing a red dress with white flowers in her hair.


It was their Valentine's Day concert.

They would be the last and final act. The best act.

Jeffery had been asked to play the piano with Zoe singing.

The song was 14 minutes long.

It was one of the hardest thing he ever had to work on.

Zoe placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Relax."

Jeffery shook his head.


He was freaking out.

His mother and Dexter were coming. They were bringing their friend Mrs. White and her daughter Jillian. They had an idea that Jillian and him would make a good couple.

But that wasn't why he was nervous. Alec was coming and he invited the Penderwick.

They were all coming. Mr. Penderwick and Iantha. Ben and Batty. Jane. Rosalind and her boyfriend Tommy. Her friend Anna was coming. Tommy's older brother Nick was coming too. Skye was coming.

Jeffery's heart began beating faster.


Zoe gently pushed him into a chair.

She could tell the fifteen year old was freaking out. She could blame him. She was 19 years old and she was still nervous. The butterflies never went away, no matter how many shows you did.

"My brother's out there. With his new girlfriend. I haven't seen him for five year. I'm nervous."

Jeffery nodded.

"Skye and her family are coming."

Zoe smiled. It was obvious that Jeffery had feelings for his friend.

She was all he could talk about.

Skye this, and Skye that.

They were always texting each other now that they had phones.

It was really cute.


A knock on the door caused them to jump.

"Five minutes."

Zoe felt her knees begin to shake.

She was really nervous.

Jeffery threaded his fingers threw hers and she smiled faintly.

They began their walk to the stage.

Taking a deep breath, they walked on together, still holding hands.


Skye was a nervous wreck. Jeffery was performing tonight. In fact, he was closing the concert!

She was nervous for him. After all, his mother and Dexter were going to be there and so was Alec.

Her entire family and the three extras were not helping. They were almost late, but thankfully Nick (who drove her, Rosy, Tommy, and Anna) was a speed demon. They got there with just 10 minutes to spare.

They rushed to their seats.


Skye nervously crossed and uncrossed her legs.

The concert was very important so she wore a dress tonight.

It was a red dress, it stopped above her knees and was strapless. It hugged her still growing body.

She had to get a new dress because she had reached the point where she was growing.

Her legs and arms were longer. Her hair was longer, her skin was a bit flushed.

She had grown in the chest area. In other words, it was obvious whether she was in a dress, shirt, or hoodie that she was girl.

She listened to everyone else perform.


Then it was time for the last performance.

Skye watched as two people walked out holding hands.

She could hear murmuring as they walked out.

She recognized Jeffery and Zoe.

They parted ways, Jeffery to the piano and Zoe to her mike.


The lights focused on them both.

Everyone falls silent.

Skye watched with her heart in the throat.

Jeffery took a deep breath and began playing.

Zoe griped the mike gently and closed her eyes, letting the music flow within her.

Then she opened her mouth and sang.


The audience was in shock.

This was the most beautiful thing they have ever heard in all there life.

The soft piano paired with the soprano voice was magical.

Skye sat in the crowd enchanted by the music.

After Jeffery and Zoe finished they received a standing ovation.

Jeffery and Zoe held hands again, both now calm.

They had huge smiles and were very happy.


After the performance, Skye and her family eagerly wait for Jeffery.

With them is Alec and unfortunately, Dexter and Mrs. Tifton-Dupree is there too.


Then they see him.

Jeffery and Zoe are laughing as they walk together.

Skye could see Mrs. Tifton urging Jillian to rush at Jeffery, so she acted impulsively.

She runs to Jeffery and throws her arms around him.

"Jeffery!"


Jeffery picks her up and spins her around laughing.

Everyone turns to watch the two. It's like there is no one else.

People exchange looks.

They know love when they see it.


He sets her down and Skye then hugs Zoe. The three of them walk to where everyone else is.

Jillian is glaring and the three of them exchange glances.

Jeffery than wraps an arm around Skye's waist. They reach everyone else and Jeffery hugs all of them.

He introduces them to Zoe and notices that Nick seems to be staring at her.


They are all laughing and Jeffery is trying to avoid Jillian, when he sees Zoe freezes.

He follows her gaze to see a man staring at her. Next to him, is a pretty brunette.

Zoe and the man stare at each other. Everyone else seems to notice and watch the man walk closer to Zoe, hesitantly.

Jeffery could tell that this was Zoe's brother.

Then with a cry, Zoe throws herself into this arms and two sibling embrace.

They draw back and begin talking in Spanish.

She turns back to them and introduces them to her brother, Aaron and his girlfriend Isabella.


They all head out for ice cream.

Jeffery is talking to all of the Penderwick girls and their friends.

Zoe is talking to her brother and his girlfriend.

Alec is talking to Mr. Penderwick and Iantha.

Jillian found a way to cling to Jeffery's arm much to the annoyance of Skye.


However, Skye is smarter and grabs the chair next to Jeffery when they sit down with their ice cream. Jillian shoots her a glare and Skye shoots one back.

Her glare scared Jillian and she drops her gaze.

Skye and Jeffery ice Jillian out of their conversation, leaving Jane to talk to the girl.

Jillian watched with envy as the two laughed and bent their heads close whispering.

After a while Jillian, her mother, Dexter, and leave.


Everyone relaxes.

Jeffery smiles at how everyone is getting along.

Everyone is laughing and talking and arguing.

Zoe, Aaron, and Isabelle leave the diner and head home.


They are all staying in a hotel and Jeffery goes with them to sleep over.

The three adults head to their rooms.

Anna and Rosalind who are sharing with Ben and Batty go to their room to change.

Nick and Tommy are rooming with Alec and Jeffery has the second bed in Skye's and Jane's room.


After they all get changed into their pajamas they all meet in Skye's room.

Jane slides in a movie and Jeffery is shocked when Skye doesn't groan as Pride and Prejudice begins to play.

He sits down next to her and she leans her head on his shoulder, the position familiar to them.

Rosalind hands then a blanket and Jeffery pulls it tight around them. Then he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

They all then settled themselves to watch the movie.


Jeffery was amused when Skye began mouthing some of the lines.

He spent most of the movie looking at Skye.

She was really pretty with her blond curls from the night (although he did love her straight hair) and gorgeous blue eyes.

She looked amazing in her dress earlier, but Jeffery thought she still looked beautiful in her pajamas.


The movie was about two hours long. Ben and Batty are the first to fall asleep.

They are carried to their rooms. Anna agrees to stay with them and she too falls asleep.

An hour into the movie, Nick leaves. 30 minutes after that Tommy joins him, and Rosalind follows them.

Skye and Jeffery are on one bed while Jane is on the other.

Jane fell asleep after that.


Skye and Jeffery were still watching the movie. Only now, they were under the covers, lying on each other trying not to fall asleep.

Jeffery was playing with her blonde hair, tugging on her curls, breaking them.

Skye is yawning, struggling to keep her eyes open.

She falls asleep as the end credits come on.


Jeffery turns the TV off and because there is nowhere else to sleep, he places his head next to Skye on the pillow.

He stares at her face and kissed her forehead gently.

Skye smiles in her sleep and moves closer to him.

Jeffery wraps an arm around her waist and closes his eyes, falling asleep to the beat of her heart.


"I want to sleep to sleep with you.

I don't mean have sex.

I mean sleep. Together.

Under my blankets. In my bed.

With my hand on your chest. Your arm around me.

With the window cracked, so it's chilly and we have to cuddle closer.

No talking, just sleepy, blissfully, happy silence.

-Unknown."
