Gabe grabbed the guitar set to the corner close to the bands drums. "Hey." Gavin said, walking up to him.

"Hey, it's Gavin!" Gore smiled, looking like and excited little boy whose mom and dad just got back together.

Gabe just saluted him and turned to Trevor. "Ready, in -" he was interrupted by Gavin, "Hey, can we talk first?"

Gabe didn't turn, than slowly and surely he moved his head towards Gavin, "What is it?"

Gavin seemed a little nervous "Um, it's just -Can we talk in private?"

Gabe sighed and nodded, "Sure, let's go outside." They walked out of the room and Gore and Trevor and Trent looked at each other, "This isn't going to be good, is it?" Gore asked in concern, and the band mates just shrugged.

Tara walked in right than, shutting the garage door, "So, what is Gabe and Gavin talking about?" she asked curiously as she walked to the band mates. They seemed uncomfortable to even try to answer that. "So, Tara, you are becoming one of the back ground singers, huh?" Trent asked, wanting to change the subject.

"Yeah, I-I am." she smiled, feeling a little shy about singing in front of everyone.

"Well, than, lets hear it!" Gore grinned, grabbing the microphone cord and plugging it into the amp.

"Here," he said in a puppy dog like face, handing her the mic, "Sing somethin'!"

She took it, but looked uncertain, "I-I don't know. . ."

Trevor smiled at her and came over to her. "Will sing with you, don't worry." he said , patting her back in comfort. Than they backed up and told her where to stand. They let her sing while they sang back ground. They started with a simple one they all knew. She was pretty good. And when she messed up once or twice, the guys all just laughed it off, saying they confused her since she didn't know the song.

She thanked them, than looked over at Gore by the drum set, "Hey, do you think you could show me something on the drums?" she asked him, trying to be polite, and not demanding.

He nodded, eyes swelling up, "AWE, Tara, you are the sweetest girl! Wanting to learn how to play with us! It's so sweet!" Gore practically squealed, running over to hug her, Trevor stopped him, "Gore, all she wants is to learn is the drums, not a crazy person trying to crush her with his stupid hugs."

Gore pouted at Trevor, "Meanie, stop ruining the mood!"

Trent rolled his eyes," Gore, shut up, please."

Trevor laughed, "What mood? You know she's dating Gabe."

Gore seemed surprised, and looked at Tara, "What! Is this true?"

Tara was embarrassed, "Um, y-yes."

Gore slugged down, "Aww! But you are so cute! Why do you have to be Gabe's! Wah!"

Tara gulped, "Sorry."

Trent snorted, "Tara, don't worry about it, Gore's just teasing you. . .mostly. . ." he smirked, looking like he was trying not to laugh at the situation. "He's not use to girls actually wanting to be around him so-"

Gore glared at him, "Hey, I get the ladies, you just never seen it!"

Trevor laughed again, "Rig-ght, sure you do." he let go of Gores tee shirt and went over to his guitar, "Now you should still be nice and show Tara your mad skills on the drums, Gory."

Gore seemed fine with that so he showed Tara his basic moves.

"Not gonna happen." Gabe said, giving Gavin a look of complete resentment, "I will not help you get Tara back."

Gavin nodded, "I understand why you want too, but I know she doesn't remember what I said, so it should be fine, I just feel so guilty about things the way they ended. . ." he said, the old Gavin in him shinning through a little.

"No." Gabe said sternly.

Gavin sighed, not giving up easily, "Come on, we both know she still has feelings for me, and I could make it work. . .Some how. . ."

Gabe wanted to take him, "You do know Tara and I are dating, right?"

Gavin was stunned into silence, "Seriously? She still believes that you are dating?"

Gabe was about to say something, when Tara stepped out, "What's taking so long out here?"

Gavin quickly went over to her, grabbing her hands,"Tara, let's get back together, you and I."

Tara's eyes widened, "What?"

"Come on, we had a pretty good thing going on." he said, looking like he was trying to mean it.

Tara shook her head, "No, sorry. . ."She paused, and looked like she had an idea, "But the reason you want to get back together with me is guilt right?" she smirked, and looked at Gabe. What had he turned her into? But Gabe smiled anyway, figuring what she was thinking.

"If you really want to make it up to me. . ." she smiled, "Become my pretend boyfriend for Gabe and I."

Gavin seemed like he was trying to calculate everything up, "Wait. . .do you. . . remember. . . everything?"

She nodded, watching the changing expression of courage turn to guilt, "Oh. . .What do you want me to do?" he asked, letting her hands drop.

"Like I said, pretend to be my boyfriend so my parents aren't all up in Gabe and I's face." she said, crossing her arms, feeling Gabes proud stare.

Gavin glance over at Gabe, "What have you done with Tara?"

Gabe had to smile at that, "Nothing, this is how she's always been, didn't you know?"

Gavin didn't seem to buy that, but Gabe knew it was true.

Tara didn't give up on things she believed in, and she believed in them, so obviously she'd try and keep her and Gabe together.

"Okay, so you want me to fake out your parents so you and Gabe can get together more?"

"Yep, pretty much." Gabe said, coming up to pat Gavin's shoulder, giving him a harsh look, "So no kissing or anything like that."

Tara didn't seem to agree, "Gabe, we need our parents to believe that we aren't serious about each other, so I think at least a kiss around the parents is okay, right?"

Gabe sighed, and closed his eyes moodily, "Fine. . ."

Tara came over to him, "Now, don't worry about anything." she teased him, running her fingers through his hair, and kissing him. He smiled and released his hard grip on Gavins shoulder, putting his hands around both sides of her waist, pulling her closer. Gavin rubbed his shoulder.

He than looked away, than looked down at his watch, adjusted his sun glasses, and after twenty minutes later Gavin finally couldn't take it anymore, "Hey, are you guys done kissing yet?" he tried to ask politely.

Gabe pushed his face away, and kept sucking face with her. Gavin decided they weren't even close to finished, so he decided to get into the garage, where everyone was trying to brush up on their music.

"So-o, Gabe and Tara, doesn't freak you out?" Gore asked, and everyone glared at him, "Shut up, Gore." Trevor growled.

Gavin just grinned, "Nah, it's just weird is all, they're so different."

Trent nodded at that, "No kidding. . ." silence till Gabe and Tara came back in, Gabe wiped his lips and grinned like a lucky boy on Christmas day, "Let's get back to work." Tara nodded, her black beanie slightly starting to come off.

Gavin seemed kind of bothered as he went up to the mic, and Tara stood between Gabe and Gavin.

"Okay, one-two-three!" Gore shouted, and they started. Gabe had taught Tara what she was suppose to sing and when.

She looked over at Gabe, smiling, she was having fun. He smiled back and put his hand over hers for a millisecond to give it a gentle squeezing .

Than he went back to his guitar.

She flushed and looked down at the mic happily.

Gavin watched, singing with everyone, it was bugging him watching Tara smile and get all puppy eyed over Gabe like she use to with him.

They couldn't be seriously dating, could they?' Gavin thought to himself, as he saw them steal glance's at each other, he wanted to say something, but he just kept singing and trying to look away. Why was Tara so attractive now?

Later they all went out to grab some burgers with Gabe's mom, since Tara and Gabe couldn't be alone.

Gabe put his arm around Tara, and his mom's disapproved look made hims shrug, "Were in public with you!"

Becky sighed, picking up a curly fry and shaking her head, smiling, "Fine."

Tara leaned her head, relieved, on Gabes shoulder. Gabe smiled, "Shouldn't we be eating?" he whispered, nudging his head against her's. She chuckled, pouting, "No!" than she released him, but he didn't move his hand away from her's as they both ate their food.

"So, it's kind of nice to have Gavin on our side, huh?" Gabe asked, which made Tara nodded, than suddenly she realized something. They were suppose to fake break up eventually, "Hey, we need to stop holding each others hand." she said, starting to move her's away when he grasped it tighter. He didn't look straight at her, but whispered, "They can't see our hands under the table, just pretend we are getting bored of one another."

She blushed, but tried to cool her face. She thought she'd get over such faze of turning red, but so far she just couldn't help it.

She tried her best to look disinterested, and was surprised how well Gabe was pulling it off. It made her a little worried that maybe he really felt that way. Than his thumb caressed the inside of her palm. The way his hand moved against her's showed he wanted to do more, like holding her. But if they wanted to get to even hang around each other alone anymore without practically getting caught, or watched twenty four seven, than they had to hold back. She was relieved to know Gabe was really just acting, and now that she glanced a little more she saw that it looked more like he was trying to hold back, than disinterest.

"So Tara, I heard you singing. I didn't know you could sing." Mrs. LaViolet said, turning her eyes on Tara.

Tara suddenly felt nervous. "Oh, yeah. Neither did I." she tried to laugh, but it turned out more of a nervous giggle.

Mrs. LaViolet stared at the two of them, "Okay, what's going on, just a minute ago you two where all lovey dovey, now you are both so quite. . ."

Gabe sighed, "Can't people just sit in quite?" he asked in a cold voice. Tara could tell he was faking, but his mom seemed shocked, and looked back and forth between them, "Oh, okay. . .so, did you two hear-"

Becky LaViolet kept talking about anything and everything to try and act as if they weren't behaving strangely.

When they got up to leave, Tara and Gabe let go of each others hands, reluctantly on Gabe's side.

Gabe walked further away from her, trying to act as though he was distant. Tara looked back at him only once, and understood. She tried her best to not make it look too obvious or that would be. . .well. . .to obvious.

Gore smiled and came over to Tara, "So, how's everything with the radio thing-y you do?" he seemed like he really wanted to know, his brown puppy dog eyes made Gabe suddenly feel slightly uncomfortable. But he didn't go over to her as she told Gore everything that was happening at her station, and then Trevor dove into the conversation, and Trent along with him. Suddenly all the guys were talking and laughing along with her. Gabe decided it would seem weird if he didn't join in, so he bumped Gore out of the way and stood next to Tara, eyes shifting away from her, though he was closer than any of the others. Tara noticed the change in the plan and looked at him, puzzled as to why he was so close again. Gavin just shook his head in amusement, knowing full well Gabe was jealous, but didn't want to ruin anything.

He took this as his chance, and wrapped and arm around her, "So, when we get fake back together, does that mean we have to fake it all the time, or just when his parents are around?" Gavin asked her, smiling sweetly, "I just don't want to get confused half way through." Tara stiffened, and nodded. A flush coming upon her face, "Yeah,only when the 'rent's are around. . ."

Gavin chuckled, and nodded in his boyish way he always did, "You and Gabe really do hang out a lot, huh?"

Gabe felt like jerking Gavin's hand away, and grabbing Tara's shoulder protectively, saying, "Yeah, and we know more about each other these few weeks than you ever did in a whole month." but he held it back, and cleared his throat instead, still trying to act indifferent in front of his mom.

Gavin knew it was getting to him, and he couldn't help but grin, he let go of her, and backed off. Gabe stared over at him when Tara was out of their ear shot, "Really?"

Gavin just stared ahead of him, "Yep, really." Gabe suddenly didn't feel to good.

Gavin was interested again? This had to be a joke. . .right? "You're such an asshole." he growled to Gavin, glaring at the him.

"Whoa, calm down." Gavin said, hands up in the air, "No need to call me names, Gabe."

Gabe held back his snarky comment, and walked further, "No, I am sorry for that. But really? You're thinking about taking her back?"

Gavin shrugged his shoulders casually, "Well, only if I can."

Gabe just sighed, not wanting to say anything, "And you really think that's a smart idea, huh?"

Gavin smiled sharply, "Smarter than her going out with you. I might have hurt her, but I never intend to leave. You, on the other hand, you always ran away from all your other girlfriends that you've ever had. What make's Tara so different, Gabe?" he asked, his eyes becoming serious. Gabe didn't want his words to sting, but they did. "It's different with her, I don't know how to explain it, but it just-it just is. . .I'm in love with her." he said, and meant every single word of it, "I-I've never felt this way before. It's different." his heart hurt thinking about even the slightest chance of Gavin taking her away. . .Not that she belonged to anyone. She was the most beautiful, independent girl he'd ever seen, yet she was gentle. That was part of his attraction and love for her.

He looked at Gavin, "She deserves the best, and I know that isn't me. . .I make tones of mistakes, and I don't know how to fix 'em, but I want to try and be better for her. I want to become better. . ." he said, his eyes fixed on her, "Because she's my someone."

Gavin stared at his best friend in shock, "Wow. . .you really mean that, huh?" but it still wouldn't stop him, he liked Tara too, and he was already better matched for her than Gabe. Gabe had to know Gavin was better for her, he just had too.

Gabe just nodded, looking embarrassed, "Yeah, I do." Gavin didn't like this. This Gabe seemed different. He had changed, and for the better. It's like being around Tara made him more aware of peoples feelings, and Tara being around him made her more brave to say what she needed to say. Gabe would have never said sorry about calling him and ass, or held back a few mean things he wanted to say. And Tara would have never felt comfortable singing live in front of everyone, or even taking part in fooling her parents so she and Gabe could hang out more.

If Gavin had said anything about stealing one of Gabe's serious girlfriends in the past, he would have gotten a lot of nasty words thrown in his face, and maybe a slap or two, and over dramatic leave, like storming out the door while knocking things down moodily. This was truly weird to Gavin, but he kept it to himself. Friends helped friends change all the time. That's all it was. Gavin could end up helping Tara too! If she let him that is.

He cracked a half grin, he had a plan.

Later that night Gabe came down to find Tara on the couch in the living room, she looked back at Gabe, and smiled, giving him a wink, than blushed for doing something so unlike herself, "How's it going." He smiled and blew a secret his, "Pretty good, getting a snack, you want some." She pretend to grab it, than put it to her heart. Gabe smiled happily, "Corny much."

She chuckled, "Not nearly." than jumped up and grabbed him by his neck, putting her lips quickly against his. "Mm. I love you." he said in a soft voice, his cheeks warming up when he realized he finally had said it to her. She blushed, "T-thank you. . ."

He smiled, realizing she felt bad, "Stop, you don't have to say it till you're ready. Never feel sorry." she seemed relieved, "Thank you, Gabe. I really, really like you a lot!" than she decided it was time for another kiss, and put her lips gently against his once more, than they pressed their foreheads together, lingering in the amazing feeling between them. "I really do love you. I can't stop saying it!" he grinned, nuzzling against her neck. She caressed the side of his cheek, "Don't stop saying it than, ever." than they embraced once more, in a lip lock, for a long amount of time till breathless, pulling apart,
"I really need to get that snack. . ." he groaned, parting from her, her eyes watching hungrliy over at him ,"Oh, okay. . ." she said, seeing him go towards the kitchen, knowing he wanted to stay beside her and continue what they had been doing. When he was out of ear shot she laid down, the back of her hand to her cheek to try and cool it down. "Gabe, you're driving me crazy!" she moaned, trying not to get carried away by what she wanted, knowing it need to wait when it was mutual feelings of love.

A/N: Hey, I'm back, mawahahahahahaha! Anyways I really feel this ones showing more growth towards their relationship, I like-y this chapter.

Sorry if it felt like a long time coming.

Reviewers time!:

Amsparz: Hm, I don't think I've ever heard of ' Impossible', by Nancy Werlin. But I do know of shrinking violet, which the movie is based off.

I never did get to read it though. You are certianly not judged, it looks interesting, and I'd want to read it definatly sometime in the future. My library is a small town library, so honestly it kind of doesn't carry too many teen books. Though it does have all the lastest since we've been getting more people since the change of the new librarian. The old librarian was more like quite, shy, Tara, and the new librarian is more like the loud, talkitive Gabe, except without the little bits of bratty, lol. I'm glad it was an awesome chapter! I did enjoy writing it, but probably not as much as this one. :)

Okay, question of the day!:

Who would you rather date. Gabe, Gavin, or Gore? Personally, I think I'd rather date Gore, I'd probably kill Gabe because we have a lot in common, like tempers. And Gavin is still not exactly on my list of trusting guys just yet, lol. :)

R&r, tell me what you think.

Love Justanothergirl~
