Chapter 8: I Won't Let It

3rd person POV

Not long after the fire died out and all that was left of the clothes was a dirty pile of ashes, the teens trudged back to the house, extremely tired. When they entered Jerome stated a good question. "What are we gonna do about sleeping arrangements?"

"I want to room with Yas!" Chloe said quickly

"Seconded." Jade said

"Me too." Sasha said

Yasmin smiled at the girls who were closer than blood to her. "Well how about for tonight we let Nina's friends sleep with her in Nina and Ambs room and Amber came sleep in the room with me, Trixie, and Joy." Mara wisely suggested. Amber seemed to dislike the idea but with her ABF (American best friend) squealing in delight, how could she say no? Chloe began dragging Yasmin to the house at a running speed. Laughing, Yasmin ran beside her easily. Jade and Sasha laughed and caught up with the other two girls but the Brits kept their pace.

"Mmkay does anyone else not like how easily she falling back in with them?" Amber stated rather bluntly.

"Amber!" Mara scolded.

"She's right and you know it." Jerome said with unexpected venom.

Patricia raised a curious eyebrow to his anger but said nothing, for once. "Look I know we're all thrown off with the sudden appearance of her friends but look at how close they are. Look at how happy she is." Fabian said sullenly.

"Yeah I see how happy she is and she should be that happy, with us. Not them." Patricia said viciously.

"She's known them longer and it wasn't like all of us were very nice to her when we first met her." Alfie said as he gave a pointed look at Patricia.

"Where did the brain come from, did you steal it from the zombies?" Jerome teased.

"So you admit it?!" Alfie yelled

"Admit what?" Amber asked

"That zombies are real." Alfie said stubbornly.

"They're not real." Fabian said as they walked into the house. As they walked in they saw the four girls all squished together on the couch. They all wore the same outfit but in different colors. They wore a t-shirt with a black bow on the collar, and short shorts with the same black bow at the waist band, and a pair of black footie socks. Nina sat there dressed in purple, Chloe in pink, Sasha in yellow, and Jade in blue.

"Okay, what up with them always wearing the same colors?" Joy asked quietly. The others shrugged as they decided to make themselves known.

"Heyy." Amber said happily as they walked into the room.

"Hey." The four American girls said in unison.

"What are you guys doing?" Fabian asked

"We're watching an old TV show we used to love." Jade said

"Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I loved that show." Eddie said as he plopped down on the floor next to the couch.

"Hey Eddie don't you think we should go change before relaxing?" Fabian said as he pulled Eddie up and dragged him off, the other Brits following.

"Well that was weird." Chloe said as she looked over to her long lost friend.

"I don't know what's wrong with them." Yasmin said to her friends as she laid her head on Sasha's shoulder.

"This is so good." Jade said smiling.

"Yas please come back." Chloe begged.

"Guys please not now." Yasmin begged back, her resolve on staying in England slowly fading.

"Fine, but up." Sasha said as she pulled her friends up.

"What are we doing?" Yasmin said as she looked back to the direction her British friends disappeared to.

"We're dancing." Sasha said as she played some music that had no lyrics.

"Where did this come from I've never heard it?" Yasmin asked

"Dylan made it." Sasha said and Yasmin's face paled.

"Dylan?" she asked and the girls nodded.

"He misses you." Jade said

"But he understands that you needed to leave." Chloe added as a new song came on.

Yasmin's eyes got really big. "Start recording." She said

"What?" Jade said as the Brits walked back in.

"Record, now!" Yasmin said with big eyes as her friend listened.

Yasmin: "We know how to dare,
We know how to dream,
Tonight is the night,
What we wanna be we'll be,
We're gonna make it through,

Let's conquer the fears,
Take every chance,
Hold back the tears,
What we wanna be we'll be,
We're gonna make it through,

Out of our heads,
Into our hearts,
Close to the edge,
Ready to start,"

Yasmin had started to rock to the beat as the girls swayed with her and the Brits looked on in shock.

Yasmin: "And it's so good,
Dancing on the air,
It feels so good,
Nothing can compare,

Cuz the beat in our hearts,
Is the beat of the charts,
Like a spotlight we're cutting through,
It feels so good,
Shining here in front of you,

Give everything,
And don't be afraid,
Be true to yourself,
If you wanna live forever,
You're gonna make it through,

You're gonna make it through,

Out of our heads,
Into our hearts,
Close to the edge,
Ready to start,

And it's so good,
Dancing on the air,
It feels so good,
Nothing can compare,

Cuz the beat in our hearts,
Is the beat of the charts,
Like a spotlight we're cutting through,
It feels so good,

Dancing on the air,
It feels so good,
Nothing can compare,

Cuz the beat in our hearts,
Is the beat of the charts,
Like a spotlight we're cutting through,
It feels so good,
Shining here in front of you,

It feels so good,
Shining here in front of you,
Shining here in front of you,

Dancing on the air,
It feels so good,
Nothing can compare,

Cuz the beat in our hearts,
Is the beat of the charts,
Like a spotlight we're cutting through,
It feels so good,

Dancing on the air,
It feels so good,
Nothing can compare,

Cuz the beat in our hearts,
Is the beat of the charts,
Like a spotlight we're cutting through,
It feels so good,
Shining here in front of you,"

Yasmin fell to the ground breathing heavy and you could hear the sound of the video ending. Sasha ran to her side, "Pretty Princess, where did that come from?" Sasha asked.

"I have no clue, I just felt a song coming on and I needed someone to record so I could sing it before I forgot it." Yasmin said

"Wow," Jerome said

"What?" Yasmin said irritably expecting him to give her grief.

"No, no, no I'm not being sarcastic, that was really amazing Nina." He said, shocking everyone in the room.

"Okay, who replaced Jerome with an alien?" Yasmin asked.

"Ha! So aliens are real!" Alfie shouted and Yasmin just dropped her head on Sasha's knee.

"No Alfie they aren't. But thank you Jerome." Yasmin said as she eyed the normally cynical Brit.

"You're welcome." He said with a small smile.

"Hold up, we'll BRB." Sasha said as she pulled up Yasmin.

"Oh god, we're talking in IM." Yasmin said as she was dragged away. They pulled her upstairs into 'their' room.

"What was that?!" Jade all but yelled.

"What?" Yasmin asked confused.

"I thought you like Fabian." Jade said

"I thought she liked Eddie." Chloe said

"I thought she still liked Dylan." Sasha said.

"Ok um what?" Yasmin asked confusedly.

"Why were you flirting with Jerome?" Sasha whispered angriliy.

"I wasn't flirting with Jerome." Yasmin said adamantly.

"Yes, yes my darling you were." Jade said

"No," Yasmin said as her eyes got wide.

"Yes." Came the response in unison. Yasmin shook her head.

"No I don't like Jerome." She said but the girls had a feeling she was trying to convince herself more than them.

"Of course you don't." Chloe said as she patted Yasmin's shoulder.

"Come on let's go back downstairs." Sasha said as she pulled up Yasmin from where she fell down onto her bed.

"Ugh." Yasmin groaned but followed and the girls started chatting about things that had happened back in the US. They entered the living room and saw that the others had all changed into pajamas. The girls sat next to each other on the couch that had been left open for them and they saw that the Pilot episode for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer was playing.

"We're having a marathon; they've never seen any of it." Eddie said and Yasmin yelped.

"How have you lived?" Sasha asked wide eyed. The girls all piled close as they began watching the show.

Over in the corner sat Patricia, Jerome, and Amber. "Look at them they have her acting like we don't exist." Patricia sneered.

"Calm down, we're not gonna lose her." Jerome said.

"How do you know it won't happen?" Amber asked

"I won't let it." Jerome said
