Chapter 11 – SOS, Save Me From Ashley

Previous Chapter - Our friends fell victim to Amber and Ashley's evil ways, all because of TAYLOR. (Yes, I have to guilt trip you, Katie.)

-------------------

Out of nowhere you were gone

Into someone else's arms…

Never thought that she would wind up in the end

Your new girlfriend

- Your New Girlfriend – Hayden Panettiere

Thursday Afternoon

They say that good things take time

But really great things happen in the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody like you

Were a million to one

I can not believe it

Ooh, you're one in a million.

Mr. Stewart spoke into the little speaker that let him talk to Katie through the glass in the recording room. "Great job, but maybe we should do it once more-"

Miley, who was sitting next to her dad, grabbed the microphone. "You don't need to. It was perfect." She grinned.

Lily gave her a thumbs up and smiled, being to far away from the microphone to talk to Katie. Oliver was staring absentmindedly at the ceiling.

Katie came through the door and grabbed a water bottle. Suddenly, the door opened and Nick, Joe, and Kevin walked through.

"Sorry we're late." Nick said apologetically.

"We FINALLY got rid of Amber and Ashley." Joe rolled his eyes.

"It was torture. I hate to say that I hate people, but I seriously hate that Taylor girl." Kevin said.

"Oh, come on, she's not that bad." Oliver said.

Lily whacked him.

"She pretty much pushed us into lifelong torture, Amber and Ashley style. I think we all hate her." Katie said.

Everyone gasped. "Katie hates someone?!" Miley looked stunned.

"This is a first." Lily added.

"Well, I really think Katie should rerecord that song, just in case." Mr. Stewart intervened.

"She doesn't need to! Here, play it for Nick, Joe, and Kevin." Miley played it.

"No rerecording needed. That was fantastalistic." Joe grinned.

"Dude, I think your pants are singing." Kevin said to Joe.

Joe pulled out his phone. It was playing 'S.O.S.'. "Good grief, it's Ashley."

"How do you know? You didn't even look at the caller ID." Oliver asked.

"Last night Joe discovered that he has one of those cool phones where you can have different ringtones for different people." Nick said.

"So I put SOS for Amber and Ashley 'cause it means 'save me' and I need to be saved from them." Joe shivered.

Everyone laughed.

"It's not funny! Yesterday, they took us to the mall and they were trying to get me to buy plaid shorts. I was like 'uh, NO!' Nick can pull off shorts. Frankie can pull off shorts. Even Kevin can pull off shorts sometimes. I can not pull off shorts. Or plaid, while we're on the subject." Joe said.

Everyone glanced at Kevin and Nick, who were both wearing shorts.

"That's incredibly ironic." Oliver said.

Ooh, this is an SOS…

Joe's phone rang again. "I better answer before we have that stuck in our heads for the next century…" Joe left the room.

"So, Mr. Stewart, when are Katie and I supposed to record our song?" Nick asked. They hadn't yet told him about the one they were writing.

"I'd say the week after next week. Miley's recording next week." Mr. Stewart replied.

Joe came back in. "Ugh…I had to tell her I had to go…for some reason, that girl can talk about ANYTHING." He rolled his eyes.

"Okay, back to work." Mr. Stewart said.

"What song?" Katie asked.

"How about…Rockstar?" Miley suggested.

"Alrighty then." Mr. Stewart started setting up the track.

Friday Night – Truscotts'

"I'm bored." Oliver said.

"That's what you said ten minutes ago!" Lily rolled her eyes.

"Why don't we…go visit Kevin and Frankie?" Katie suggested.

"Sure?" Oliver said.

They ran across the street and rang the doorbell. "I should have brought a jacket. It's cold tonight!" Lily shivered.

Kevin opened the door. "It's like, 8:30." He said, indicating that it was late for them to be over.

"Yeah, we were bored and thought we'd come visit you and Frankie." Lily explained.

"We're playing Uno and I'm winning!" Frankie, who had come to the door to see who it was, said excitedly.

"Uh-huh. You know I'll win in the end!" Kevin teased.

"Can they play?" Frankie pleaded.

"I guess if they want to." Kevin shrugged.

"Hey, we've got nothing better to do." Oliver pointed out.

They followed the two up to Frankie's room. On their way there, they passed the music room. Katie instantly thought of Nick. He was probably dancing with Amber right now. Simply the idea made Katie's heart shatter, so she kept walking and pushed Nick out of her mind.

----------------

Oliver had gone home, and Katie and Lily were just walking through the door of their own house. It was around ten.

"Wow, Uno can be more entertaining than I thought." Lily said.

Katie laughed as they walked into the kitchen, but stopped. Their parents were sitting at the table.

"Is something wrong?" Katie asked.

"Why don't you girls sit down." Lily's mom suggested.

Lily and Katie looked at each other worriedly and sat down.

"You know we moved here when your father went to fight in the war." Katie's mom said to her. "Well, we can't stay forever. We're moving back to New Jersey."
