Chapter 7: Holden - Confusion
I was in the library looking for a Maths book to help me, when Andie came in and found me.
"Hey, gorgeous." I greeted her. She blushed a little.
"Come with me. We've got a problem." she said. That wasn't a good thing a all but coming from your girlfriend, it was worse. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the library. I guess Maths would have to wait. I stopped her in the hall.
"Hey, is this about... us?" I asked cautiously. She giggled.
"No, no, no! We are perfect!" She kissed me on the cheek. "I'll explain when we get there." She kept walking until we got to the music room. I came there for fun to play my guitar. I stored it in here too.
In the room was Willow and Liv. I started to get a little nervous. I hadn't known she was involved. I liked Andie a lot. I really did. But somewhere in the back of my mind, I hoped for Liv's green eyes looking lovingly at me instead of Andie's brown ones. Dang. I had some girl probs.
"Is this good?" Andie asked the girls. What?
"Let's test it." Willow said. I had no clue what was going on, but I looked at Liv, and she was staring at me with alarm. I looked away.
"Hold it." I said, making a timeout signal. "What's going on?" I asked. Andie turned to me.
"We are... starting a band! We need a lead guitarist and we were hoping you would do it?"
"Wait. Let him play first before we invite him in." Liv said. I could tell she didn't want me to be in this band. The tension wall between us was thicker than five doors put together.
I walked over to where I kept my guitar and pulled it out. I was determined to impress them, and contradict Liv's ideas about not having me. I played a really complicated phrase and waited for a reaction. I looked around. All of them were smiling like crazy, even Liv.
"Is it just me, or did we find our lead guitarist?" Andie exclaimed.
"You know we did! What do you say, Holden?" Willow asked me. I didn't really have anything else to do right now.
"I'm in if you're in." I told her. I turned and smiled at Liv. She had her head down and was pinching the bridge of her nose. I pretended not to notice.
"Uh what? Oh yes!" she laughed nervously. "I am so in!" she exclaimed. But her eyes said: I am so in trouble.
And actually, I was thinking the same thing.
****Okay! So I'm so so so so sorry for not updating! I've been super busy. And also, I am so so so so so sorry that this chapter is so short. I couldn't decide who's POV it was going to be so I split the half in half! So the next chapter insight: definitely Liv's POV on the end of the actual battle. As always, I hoped you liked this chapter and my next one will be out soon! Thanks For Reading! :D****
