You guys are incredible! The feedback in the reviews is awesome, and so are you guys! You guys seriously don't know how much this means to me! Thanks to the folks who reviewed good or bad, it really helps set the story in a good path! If you have an idea for the story, you are welcome to PM me or post it in the reviews. Anything helps! I unfortunately do not own the Keepers, sad, but true. I also don't own "Meant To Be".
"I don't know. Are you guys even sure that he likes me?" Willa said doubtfully.
Charlene nodded, "Pretty sure. We'll be able to tell for sure after this. We we're saying that he was blind." Charlene looked towards Amanda and Jess, who nodded in agreement. "C'mon why can't the guys come over?"
Willa sighed and said, "Fine, just promise me not to make things too awkward." Charlene jumped up while nodding her head. She raced for her cell phone and quickly sent out a message for the guys to meet the girls at her house.
About an hour later, the three had shown up at her front door and were let in by Jess who had only acknowledged Finn and Maybeck and all three of them were very talkative with Philby, which started to make Finn and Maybeck jealous. Amanda had then realized her boyfriend's jealousy and pulled the two aside to go over the plan with them. She had also told them to not bring it up to Willa, for she wasn't one hundred percent all for the plot. The two were surprisingly excited, for they too could see, as Maybeck said, "the nerd love" between them.
Charlene suggested karaoke and everyone agreed. They didn't want to make it too obvious by starting with Willa or Amanda and Finn, who were to sing a special song for the Willa and Philby. Willa didn't know about it, for she wouldn't allow the two to go in too far with whatever she had with Philby. Charlene went first singing, and Willa had to admit, she nailed it. When she finished, the group cheered and applouded.
Willa was forced up on stage by Jess, who ended up getting some help from Amanda to drag her off of the sofa and up in front of the group. She took a deep breath and Charlene started to play her one of her favorite songs, Good Girl by Carrie Underwood. She sang the first line of the song and all three boys had their jaws dropped and eyes wide. She had ended the song and the other six were on their feet clapping for her. She set down the microphone and sat down, confused by the reaction.
Philby was impressed by her singing. No, he was more than impressed, he was dazzled. She sung like an angel. There was no denying it; he was never going to get over her.
Amanda and Finn "decided" to go together next and whispered to each other, pretending that they didn't know what they were doing. They nodded to Charlene. Willa's face had already started to burn as the first notes were playing. She glanced over to Charlene who was smiling guiltily at her. Finn started off the song. Finn had honestly already heard it over twenty times. His younger sister, Sarah, was in love with the movie and watched it at every spare moment she could find. He actually grew fond of the song and didn't mind singing it.
I believe we all have a soul mate
A chance for a perfect duet
I believe in hopeless devotion
I just haven't found her yet
But in my mind I see
The chick, who was meant for me
Willa could feel her face getting hotter with each passing second. Charlene had looked from her to Philby at least twenty times and Charlie was really getting on her nerves. The pace of the song then started to pick up.
She'll be someone who is lovely
Someone wonderful and true
Amanda then started up.
The kind of boy
Who makes you smile
Even when you're felling blue (Does that sound familiar to anyone? I might do that later in the story as well! I got inspired by the lyrics, what can I say?)
Both Amanda and Finn were now singing together in harmony.
And I know, I know she's out there
Most definitely
Oh yeah
Not a phony, or a fake
Sweeter than a chocolate shake
My meant to be
When it's meant to be
You go kinda crazy
Meant to be
You forget your own name
When it's meant to be
Its destiny callin'
And nothing ever will be the same
Amanda took Willa's hands and tried to sway them, but Willa jerked back and almost fell over in the chair.
Amanda: You need a girl who's into music
To run up high on cupid's wings
Finn: Find that boy with perfect hair
Finn ruffled Philby's hair and Philby stared up at him having no clue as to what was going on.
Have a Hollywood ending with dreams
Both: Oh, I know, I know she's out there
Can't you see?
Oh yeah!
Maybe you've already met, the one you'll never forget!
Amanda had hugged Willa from behind and Finn high-fived Philby. If there was an any more obvious way to do this, Willa couldn't think of it. She turned to Charlene and mouthed "Not cool" Charlene smiled back at her and then turned to Philby. He couldn't have looked more confused. Amanda and Finn continued on with the song and Willa sat there with her head in her hands. She felt like she was going to cry. When the song was over, Willa began to calm down. Finn was talking to Philby and Amanda had sat down next to Willa.
"Willa, are you okay?" Amanda asked kindly.
Willa looked up to Amanda and she could see that she had been crying. She was already regretting the plan. She spoke up, "We wanted to help you, Willa. I'm sorry, I really am. Philby can't tell though." Amanda knew that it wouldn't matter because they had hurt Willa and Amanda should've seen it coming. "I promise that I won't do anything else, okay? I can't promise anything about Jess or Charlie, but I'm on your side now. You and Philby should happen on your own, not because your friends pushed you two together."
Willa was relieved that she had someone with her that truly was on her side. She smiled over at Amanda and whispered, "Thanks"
I hope you liked it! R&R!
