DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything. Except the plot and the twins (:
A/N: Oh yeah, I forgot to add that Mitchie's famous too. So, four celebrities live at their house. Not just three.
Goodbye – Chapter Seven
He Deserved It
"What?" Mitchie asked Shane after he hung up and told everyone that Nate's coming back tomorrow.
"Yeah. The Penta B wants to come home." Shane said, making a face.
"Penta B?" Ghoul asked.
"Yeah. It's my new nickname for Hannah Montana. I mixed my nickname for her with yours. Bottle-blonde banana-brained bitch. That's five B's and penta means five! Do you like it?' Shane smiled.
"Shane! Don't teach the kids things like that!" Jason scolded.
"Why? Their nickname for her is bottle-blonde bitch! In my opinion, theirs is worse, yet better." Shane countered.
"I made up Bottle-blonde banana-brained bitch!" Maddie said, remembering the first time they met.
"And it's awesome." Shane praised.
"Shane! Stop that! Maddie, Ghoul, did you really call her that?" Jason asked, going into strict big brother/uncle mode.
"Ever since we were ten." Ghoul said with a pinch of pride in his voice.
"Stop calling her that. You can call her Penta B. It's g-rated." Jason said, trying not to smile. He didn't like Hannah Montana too.
Somehow, Shane managed to divert everyone's attention from the fact that Nate's coming home tomorrow. Mitchie smiled at her boyfriend. He knew the subject was sensitive to the twins and that they didn't want to talk about it. Shane caught her eye and smiled back. She went nearer to him and pressed her lips to his.
"PDA! Ew! Do that somewhere else!" Ella said, grabbing one of the throw pillows and flinging it at them. It hit their faces. They glared at her. "Hey, they weren't called throw pillows for nothing."
Shane grabbed the pillow from the floor and threw it at Ella. She dodged it and it hit Maddie. Ghoul cracked up and Maddie threw the pillow at him. It hit his laughing face.
Time for a pillow war.
After around thirty minutes of throwing pillows at each other, they collapsed on the couch, tired, but happy. Mitchie thought of another way to distract the twins. She led all of them to the media room. Tomorrow's going to be a stressful day, they better have fun now.
"Let's do karaoke!" Mitchie exclaimed, pointing to the karaoke machine Shane bought on a whim.
"Why? So you can show off your voice?" Shane asked, smirking.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Mitchie said, her arms on her hips.
"It means a karaoke contest!" Shane exclaimed.
"Bring it on."
"Ha! You are so totally gonna lose. I'm an internationally famous rockstar."
"Who was the person in this room who fell in love with my voice? Oh yeah! It was that cookie-cutter popstar Shane Gray!"
"I'm so bringing you down."
"No way. I have better songs than you. You go first. You know what they say, save the best for last."
Shane picked one of his own songs, Gotta Find You, in an attempt to make Mitchie swoon. She didn't buy it. She went and sang La La Land, which clearly trumped Shane.
"No! I cannot lose! Rematch!" Shane demanded.
"Nope. I'm going to sing my encore song now. It's my favorite song!" Mitchie said before she started singing to Born For This by Paramore. Maddie loved this song. She started singing along and Mitchie noticed her singing. She knew Maddie could sing. Ghoul too. They were both really good singers. Shane noticed her singing too. Shane never heard them sing. He wanted to. After Mitchie sang, he grabbed the mic and handed it to Maddie.
"What?" Maddie asked, staring at Shane.
"Sing." He demanded. Maddie got really nervous. She loved to sing, but now, she's going to sing in front of three internationally famous rockstars. She gulped.
"No."
"Please?" Shane pleaded, complete with the puppy-dog face. She made the puppy-dog face at him too.
"Only if Ghoul sings with me." She said, turning to her brother.
"Sure. What do you want to sing?" Ghoul agreed. He was up for anything.
"My Heart by Paramore." Maddie said. The song was stuck in her head.
"You can do screamo?" Shane asked him.
"Yeah. I have this friend, listens to screamo, taught me how to sing that way. I like singing normal though. I only sing screamo when I sing to this song." Ghoul explained.
"Sing. Now." Shane said, handing him another mic.
He stood up and Maddie stood up reluctantly. The song started. A few seconds into the song and she was already taken away. She was singing her heart out, with Ghoul singing back-up.
(normal is Maddie, bold is Ghoul and italicized is both. This is only the last part)
This
heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats
for only you
(yeah)This

(Please

(Please

My heart is...
The song ended with everyone speechless. Maddie was blushing and Ghoul just plopped down on the couch. She sat down beside him.
"Wow." Jason was the first to speak.
"Yeah. Wow." Ella agreed.
"Hey, Mitchie, you're right. We did leave the best for last." Shane said.
Mitchie didn't even try to make a comeback. They did save the best for last. Maddie didn't like all the attention everyone was giving her. Ghoul was just…Ghoul. He knew he could sing, he just never grasped how good he was.
"Can we eat ice cream?" Maddie asked, trying to change the subject.
"Ice cream!" Shane said then rushed to the kitchen to get it.
By two o' clock in the morning, they were all pretty put out. They kept singing karaoke and they played a number of games. Right now, Ghoul, Shane and Jason were making mac n' cheese in the kitchen while Maddie, Mitchie and Ella were trying on different colored wigs and laughing at how silly they looked.
They heard the front door open but the girls just shrugged it off. All of a sudden they heard the door to the media room open and someone stepped in.
Nate Gray.
Maddie froze when she saw who was standing in the room with them. She doesn't know what to feel. She's happy, angry, confused and scared all at the same time. She wanted to hug him but she wanted to run away from him at the same time. So she just stood there in shock while Nate stared at her and tried to figure out who she was. She heard approaching footsteps.
"Hey, ladies, Ghoul is asking—" Shane started then stopped when he saw Nate.
"Shane? What's going on? Why is everybody staring at me?" Nate asked in a low voice that only Shane could hear.
"Well, you told me you were coming back tomorrow?!" Shane whisper-screamed.
"It is tomorrow!"
"I thought you meant during the day!"
"I'm sorry for not specifying! Anyway, who's the girl with green hair? And who's Ghoul?" Nate asked and Shane looked at Maddie. Then he burst out laughing. Maddie has green hair, Ella has blue and Mitchie has pink. They looked like the powerpuff girls.
"Shane! Answer my question!" Nate demanded.
"You idiot. That's your freakin' daughter. Ghoul's her twin, in other words, your son." Shane said.
"What?!" Nate said. He wasn't whispering now.
"Yeah. Yours and Alex's. Look at her. She looks exactly like Alex, except she has your eyes. Wait till you see Ghoul. Looks like you, but with Alex's eyes. Feels like you're looking at the past."
Nate looked at her. She took off her wig now, and she was staring at her right foot, which she was sliding from left to right. She did look like Alex. Then he felt his heart swell. He has a daughter and a son. With Alex. He doesn't know why, but his heart was filled with the same feeling he used to feel when he was with her. Was he really over her? Looking at the girl, only one word popped out and it was true. No.
He wasn't over Alex Russo.
He heard two pairs of footsteps approaching.
"Shane! What are you doing? I asked you to ask them if—" Ghoul started, but froze when he saw who was standing there. It was his father.
Nate turned to the unfamiliar voice and was taken aback. The boy looked exactly like him when he was fifteen, but he had Alex's eyes. This must be his son. Nate felt like an idiot now. Why the hell did he believe Dean? He should've still gone after Alex even when she pushed him away. He should've never believed him.
Ghoul walked right in front of Nate. Maddie saw her brother's hand twitch. Ghoul stepped in front of Nate and Maddie gasped at the resemblance. Ghoul's hand curled up into a ball and before anyone could do anything, his fist hit Nate's jaw and Nate staggered back, clutching his jaw and Maddie rushed to Ghoul.
"What the hell did you do that for?!" Maddie yelled at him.
"I told you if I ever met him I would punch his face with all my might. So I did." He said calmly.
"What the fuck, Ghoul?!" Maddie was really pissed. Way to make a first impression.
"Maddie! Language!" Mitchie scolded but they both ignored her.
"He deserved it!" He yelled before rushing to his room. They all heard a door slam shut.
Maddie started mumbling in French.
"Maddie, go to your room and calm down first." Mitchie advised when she noticed that Maddie was mumbling in French.
Maddie was too pissed to do anything but follow her. She angrily walked out of the room and slammed her door shut.
"Nate, are you okay?" Mitchie asked when she heard Maddie's door slam shut.
"Yeah, but that boy has a mean punch. My jaw hurts. You know, I expected some sort of reaction from Shane regarding the fact that I came home at two in the morning, but I never expected something like this."
"You know, you actually deserved that. They're great kids and all, but it's still different if you grew up with a dad." Mitchie's words cut through Nate's heart.
"I guess I do deserve that." Nate said, pressing the ice pack Ella just gave him to his jaw and winced.
"Yeah, you do." Shane agreed.
"I'll talk to them tomo—later." Nate said.
"Ohmygosh! The mac n' cheese!" Jason suddenly burst out and ran to the kitchen.
A/N: I was so tempted to leave a cliffhanger after Nate entered the media room but…I'm such a good person to you guys.
This chapter is dedicated to my Paramore-loving best friend who can sing screamo. You're the best friend in the world!!! ILY!!!
If any of you were curious, Ghoul asked Shane to ask the girls if they wanted to drink anything besides water.
