Nick
…..
A week goes by without a word made in the entire apartment, well, except for when Spencer and Alice talk the beautiful things about being in love, but besides that. It has just been a bit too quiet. I am already mad enough that our show has been moved to Willa's basement at her townhouse. We had to move everything there, and I mean everything. I hate my dad but I mostly hate my mom because her and dad got into a fight, which caused this to happen since she couldn't leave her stupid mouth shut. But I still love her, she brought me into the messed up world that we call America, with probably the honest intentions.
I take my turn to cross the street. I am heading over to Willa's since it's our show time night. I come to the row of town-houses. I take the twenty steps to house number eighteen. I open the gate to the little porch and go through the bottom door. I open it to see Ashton laying on the messy tan couch eating left over pizza. I know it's left over because he had it last night for dinner at my place.
" You took the box of pizza?" I ask in disappointment. He looks up to me with the puppy dog eyes.
" It was calling my name." He says. It is then he mocks his name to emphasize how much the pizza was calling him. I just walk away and head up the narrow steps to the kitchen. Willa stands in front of the fridge as it is wide open.
" Is everything okay?" I ask.
" I am so hungry." Replying back in a dead voice. I take a moment to sigh a deep sigh. Damn my friends are weird.
" Wanna get chinese after this." I state. She turns her head slowly to me, her mouth partly open. " God you look like a zombie when you act lifeless." She puts her arms up and walks towards me slowly saying,
" Brains." I run straight for the basement door, almost trip down the stairs, and hide myself in a corner in the small bathroom behind her tech-cart. I do this time and time again, hiding in here. I can actually call it my inner sanctum. I don't hear any footsteps or any movement. I just hear Ashton say,
" So your a zombie."
" Yes." Willa replies. Five minutes go by and I realize it is time to go out to do the show. I open the door slowly, looking around. Ashton and Willa are pushing the couch to the wall, getting ready for the show. I walk out and make myself prepared for the show. Willa takes a hold of the camera, Ashton fixes his hair to become messy. I fix my hair into a mess too. I check the clock on my phone. I position myself in front of the television behind us. Ashton joins me.
Willa takes hold of her camera.
" In three, two, and one!" She says, then pointing to us. We both look into the camera.
" Dis guy." I say pointing to Ashton.
" Dat guy." Ashton says pointing to me. We go back at fourth for a while until Willa says,
" Dees guys." She says pointing us, making sure her finger is in focus of the lens.
" Welcome to interNick, where dis guy and dat guy make you feel tingly inside." I say.
" But not every inside." Ashton says. I see Willa's cat Pebbles come down the stairs. Pebbles crawls over to Ashton. She looks up and meows. I pick her up.
" It's a cat." I say.
" Named Pebbles." Ashton comments.
" This poor kitty."
" Needs a loving home."
" But you can't have her."
" Why do you ask?"
" Because it's a very very bad kitty." We put our heads next to the kitty as I hold her close to me. We 'meow' in unison. Pebbles than 'meows'.
Carly
…
" They're genius." I say as I look at the screen. Nick and Ashton are pulling a 'That 70's Show' scene.
" Is Curry is wearing a chicken hat?" Sam asks. I look closer at the t.v. screen in the studio.
" Yes, she is." I say. Freddie pauses their show. I look to Gibby who is taming his cat's fur on the beanbag.
" Stop brushing you cat!" I yell. His cat meows and starts scratching him. Freddie's phone beeps, leaving the studio to go outside in the hallway. Sam looks to me.
" There in a basement Carly, not in a studio." She says.
" Like that makes me feel any better! Look at them Sam! They are becoming popular!" I say, pointing to the seven thousand view count.
" Yeah! Seven thousand. We have two million! How will they possibly beat that?"
" They are teenagers!"
" So are we the last time I checked. Nineteen-ninety-four babies for the win!" I roll my eyes and stand in thought. It's just the fact Nick also lives under this roof that makes this a whole lot worse. I should do something to him in his sleep.
" We should dye his hair pink!" I exclaim.
" No Carly, no." Sam says. Freddie comes back into the room, and with a smile on his face. He's been acting a bit too cheery lately. I can't put my foot on it, but it is bothering me as he should be as in equal pain as me.
" Why are you so happy Freddie?" I ask with my arms crossed.
" Maybe because my icky Aunt is finally getting married." He replies.
" Good for her. She deserves love." I say. Sam fiddles with a rubber band ball on the car hood. Gibby is still combing his cat. A flashbulb goes off in my head. I know what we're gonna do on the show tomorrow!
" Get ready Internet." I say to myself. I look around and realize that everyone has heard me. Freddie raises an eyebrow to me.
" What?! I got an idea for the show tomorrow." I say.
" Alrighty then." Freddie comments. The snap of a rubber band echos the room.
Freddie
….
She kisses my lips, her hands gripping on to the back of my shirt. We fall down on to the bed again, making out. We don't talk, just kiss. My hand guides down her curves, touching every nook and cranny. I suck on her bottom lip, causing her to moan. It's then I hear the sound of my front door being opened. Willa gets off my bed, fixes her hair and sits down on the ground with her laptop on her lap like she was before. I break open a smile and she looks up with a smirk. I her my mom's heels come down the hall. The door opens, I pretend to be reading a random book as Willa just types.
" What have you two been up to?" She asks.
" Just doing work." Willa replies, her eyes locked on the screen. My mom just stands there not knowing what to say. All of a sudden Willa's phone goes off.
" Is that song from 'Anastasia'?" I ask her.
" It is a beautiful song that should be recognized for years to come." She replies back. My mother just continues to look down at her as if she is a prodigy, like the dream girl she has always wanted for me. Willa gets up to take her phone call outside. My mom's eyes follow her out of the room. She shuts the door and turns to me.
" Please marry her." She says.
" What?!" I exclaim.
" Ssshhh!" With her finger on my lip. " You only get this once son. Don't mess it up." She then casually leaves and Willa questions her as she walks back into the room. She takes a seat with me on the bed, kissing me for a second.
" What happened?" She asks, stroking my arm.
" Just my mother being my mother." I reply.
" Okay. Well, I have to leave. My dad is calling me back home with ingredients to the meatloaf we're having tonight."
" So I will see you tomorrow?"
" I got a history quiz tomorrow."
" So…."
" I will see you the day after tomorrow." She says with a kiss on the nose. I watch her get her stuff in her backpack.
" I will miss you." I say, being the gentleman that I am. She looks down at me as she slips on her backpack.
" Miss you too." She says. I watch her leave my bedroom. I really love the fact she wore a dress today.
Sam
…
I walk out of Carly's, only to come face-to-face with Willa-sucks-a-tongue. I stare her down.
" Is everything alright Sam?" She asks, adjusting her backpack strap.
" You know what you have done." I say.
" What?"
" You know what I am talking about."
" I actually don't know what you are talking about."
" Don't act stupid with me Kensley I know your game."
" I am so confused right now." Very candidly.
" I saw you, smacking your lips with lover boy." Willa takes a step back. Her hand covering her mouth in shock.
" I am so sorry Sam." She says. " I didn't mean to…."
" Look, I'm fine with it. We're no longer together but I hope you understand that I am keeping this a secret from Carly, which I don't normally do."
" You don't have to keep this confidential Sam."
" But it's better off this way."
" Why?" I take a step closer to her, looking deep into her blue eyes. I feel the fear as it reeks off of her.
" Revenge." I say. She gulps. I take my step back and walk away. Well, I think that was a job well done. A smile grows on my face with my accomplishment.
Are you on the edge of your seat? What are you expecting to happen next? Also, it's a request time! Wanna a scene to happen in the next chapter, let me know! R&R
