Jason had never felt so unbelievably bored in his life. Okay, so maybe he had been. Like when he had gotten lectured by his guitar teacher for forgetting to practice, or when he had to read Pride and Prejudice in the eleventh grade (horrid book, by the way)
Jason let out a long sigh, but no one was around to offer any ideas of what to do, how to cure the boredom.
Suddenly an idea formed in his curly head. He remembered that Shane had given him Ella's number. Jason had never really been shy so he fished it out of his pocket, dialed it into his phone and pressed talk.
"Hello?" She answered. By her tone of voice he could tell she was just as bored as him. He grinned. "Hey Ella. Remember me? Jason?"
"J-jason? Of course I remember you! What's up?" She said happily.
"I. Am. So. Bored." He said flatly.
She giggled "Yes me too!"
He took a deep breath. "Okay, so I had to like house sit my grandparents house and would you like to come over?"
She agreed and was on her way
Yipee!
The doorbell his grandparents had installed made frog ribbet noises. He laughed and opened the door.
"That doorbell is awesome!" Ella said, entering the house.
"I know right?" Jason grinned and took Ella's hand leading her to the living room.
They both sat down on the couch. "So…" Ella said "House sitting?"
Jason rolled his eyes "My grandparents are paranoid. They think that a robber will break in and steal all available cupperware"
She giggled.
Jason leaned back and pushed a button on the radio.
Treasure these few words till we're together/Keep all my love forever/P.S. I love you/
You, you, you
Jason stared at the radio. What the hell was this song?
Ella laughed "Oh my God!" She giggled "The Beatles!" She laughed again "Mitchie loves the Beatles. Its ridiculous. She made me listen to this a gagillion times!"
Suddenly, without any fair warning she started singing "As I write this letter/Send my love to you/Remember that I'll always/Be in love with you"
Jason stared at her "Wow, you sing good!"
She blushed "No, I mean, thanks!" She laughed.
They fell into a comfortable silence when both of their phones rang at the same time.
"Hello?" Jason asked into the phone. "Nate?" He listened to the person on the other line "Sure yeah!" He said and then hung up.
Ella hung up too. "Tess and Cait wanted to hang out. I told them to come here, hope its okay"
"No its fine! Nate is coming over too!"
"Great!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Today was a cold day.
It was one of those abnormal July days when the sun refused to shine and temperature refused to get any higher.
Caitlin hated these days. So when she left her house she was wearing two sweaters over her long sleeve shirt and baggy cargo pants. She pulled her ball cap down over her head.
"What is it? December?" Tess asked when Caitlin crawled into her car.
"It might as well be!" Caitlin said glaring at Tess, who was wearing a sundress.
Caitlin had always had problems with the cold. Which was why she lived in LA. Where it was never supposed to be cold.
Oh well.
When they pulled up to Jason's grandparents house there was already another car in the driveway. Caitlin recognized the car "Nate White is here! TESS!"
Tess grinned "What?"
Caitlin mumbled obscenities and walked onto the front porch.
She began attacking the doorbell.
RIBBET! RIBBET! RIBBET!
The door swung open and she stopped. "Why did you press it so much?" Jason asked.
"It sounds weird."
"Its supposed to be a frog."
"Oh!" She smiled pleasantly and skipped in. Leaving poor Jason to cower over her bipolarity,
"Hey El." She said to Ella "Hey… thing" She said to Nate, not bothering to look at him "Is this the Beatles? Wait is Mitchie here too?"
Ella shook her head.
"So then why's the Beatles on?"
When the small party gathered in the living room, Tess said "Now what?"
Nate shrugged "Wanna go outside?"
Everyone agreed except for Caitlin who screamed "No! It's a freakin' tundra outside!"
Nate looked at her like she was growing a second head and began walking to the sliding glass door in the kitchen.
He pulled it open and stepped outside gingerly.
"Whoa!" Ella said "Your grandparent's have a pool? And a hot tub?"
Jason nodded
"Wicked!" She plopped down on a beach chair.
Tess laughed and sat down next to her. There were no more available seats.
"Where's Shane?" Caitlin asked.
"Why? Fell in love?" Nate said.
"What was that?" She demanded.
"Nothiiiiiiing" He grinned wickedly.
She could almost hear Jason saying "Oh boy" But she didn't, she was so angry.
"He's probably out macking some poor girl" Caitlin said walking closer to Nate.
"No, he's probably being slave-driven by Michelle" He shot back.
Caitlin smiled sweetly "Probably, Shane is a wuss. Just. Like. You"
"What'd you say, Eskimo?" He asked gesturing to her weird get-up.
"Nothing, how about you Curly?" She asked
"You should talk!" He exclaimed, pulling at her curls.
They were nose to nose now.
"Don't touch me, Curly!" She said placing her hands on his chest and pushing him.
What happened next, took place very fast, and very funnily.
Nate flared at the edge of the pool, looking for something to grab to steady himself, that something turned out to be Caitlin.
They both splashed into the pool and came sputtering up for breath.
"Oh my God!" Caitlin screeched "ITS SO COLD!"
Nate glared at her and swam to the edge of the pool and climbed out.
Caitlin followed too, her teeth were chattering.
Tess ran up to them "Are you guys okay?"
They nodded and she started cracking up. "What retards!" She called back to Ella and Jason.
Nate looked at Caitlin with the full intention of telling her off for being such a bitch, but he saw how hilarious she looked. Water dripping from her baseball cap and her shivering. And he started laughing. She looked at him incredulously before she started laughing too. Soon they were doubled over, with tears in their eyes holding onto eachother so the wouldn't fall into the pool again.
When the hysterics finished Nate stuck out his hand "Why are we fighting someone else's battle? Not to mention a battle their not even aware of?"
Caitlin laughed "I'm slightly protective of my friends, so no more stupid fighting" She shook his hand
"Yes only logical fighting."
XXXXXXXX
(Next day)
And what was Tess doing on this fine fine day?
She was sleeping.
She didn't mean to, she had dozed off on the couch while watching TV.
The trill of her phone woke her "Hello? Mom?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"Yes honey! Okay turn on the TV"
It was already on.
"And go to channel 51"
"Why?" Tess asked groggily.
"No time to explain! I love you! Bye!"
Tess rolled her eyes and turned her attention towards the TV screen.
"As we know Public Alias and TJ Tyler have been working on a collaboration song for quite a while" A video came up of Logan grinning at the camera saying "It took us a while to find inspiration. But it finally hit us like a ton of bricks" he grinned and my stomach flopped.
"So you wanna hear it? Here's a piece of it"
A video came up of my mom and Nate and Logan, with the rest of the band in a recording studio. Since it was midway towards the song they were already revved up Logan leaned towards the mike and sang:
"Can I – Can I—Can I – Date your daughter.
Can I – Can I – Can I – Date your daughter
I promise I'll always be on her side
I promise I'll always let her fly
I'll always – I'll always – I'll always – Be there"
He stepped back from the mike and her mother leaned into hers, smiled at Logan and began to sing:
"Theirs plenty of conditions..
To get my permission" She started off slowly, then quickened her pace
"Always pick her up on time
Don't you ever make her cry
Cuz if you do you'll die…."
The audio trailed off and the screen switched back to the host of the shoe.
"Is this song implying something?" A picture of Tess flashed on screen "As we all know Tess is the daughter of TJ, and she is also good friends with Logan… Can I date your daughter?" She asked "I think its insinuating something!'
Tess stared, her mouth slack.
No, she thought. It's just a song. It doesn't mean anything.
But she kind of wished it did.
Just let it rock. Let it rock. Let it rock.
