Chapter 13: The Green-eyed Monster Sings Now?
*Kim's P.O.V*
After dropping Milton off at the hotel, Jack, Eddie, Jerry and I walked down to this awesome, new teen club down the street.
We waited in line for about half an hour until we finally were able to go in. Because it was a club for minors, there was no alcohol, but it was still pretty awesome!
"There's a table!" Eddie said, pointing to an empty booth. We all piled into it, taking a quick peek at the menus. Jerry and Eddie were both sitting together while Jack had gratefully slid in next to me.
"You know, even though we just ate, the food on this place's menu sounds really good!" I said, pointing towards the picture of buffalo wings.
"Yeah, I think I could make some room for a little more food. How about you guys?" Jerry asked, pointing at the picture of onion rings. We nodded in agreement as we talked the menu over with each other. A waitress walked over to our table.
"Can I get you guys anything?" She asked in a fake sweet tone. We gave her back the menus as I told her our order.
"We'll take the buffalo wings and the onion rings." I answered politely. She scribbled my words down onto her pad of paper, giving me a slightly annoyed look. Okaaayyy...?
"And to drink?" She asked, ruder this time. Why does she all of a sudden hate us...or me?..
"I'll have Mountain Dew!" Eddie answered.
"I'll take an Orange Soda." Jerry replied, winking at her. The waitress rolled her eyes as she impaitently turned towards me.
"I'll have a Lemonade." I said, smiling sweetly. She rolled her eyes at me as well. What's her problem?
"I'll just take a Root Beer." Jack added. The waitress's gaze switched to him, a creepy smile growing on her lips.
"You got it...Tiger." She purred, stroking Jack's arm with her long fingernails. All our eyes widened as the waitress strutted away.
"Did she just-?..." Jerry began.
"I think she just did.." Eddie finished. Jealousy began building up within me. No! Stop it, Kim! Stop it! Don't get jealous! Jack turned to face me, eyes wide. My jaw was slightly agape.
"Kim, don't go murdering people now." Jack soothed. I rolled my eyes as I smacked his shoulder.
"I'm not jealous, you dweeb! I just have to show her that YOU are MINE." I replied, snuggling closer to him. He chuckled as he wrapped a strong arm around my waist. I placed a hand on his chest, looked deep into his eyes and smiled. He smiled brightly back.
The flirty waitress returned with our order. The second she saw mine and Jack's position, she glared at me. Yeah, you can have your eggs and you can have your bacon, but you can't have my man, because he is taken!
"Here's your orders!" She said, setting the trays onto our table. Immediatly, Eddie and Jerry started to devour the food.
"Hey! Leave some for us!" Jack exclaimed, trying to pry the food away from Jerry and Eddie.
"Guys, come on! Let go!" I shouted, trying to help Jack. As Jerry reached for the tray, his buffalo wing sprayed sauce onto my cheek.
I growled at him as I got up to go wash my face off in the restroom.
"Sorry, Kim!" He called from the booth. I smiled a little. Jack probably made him apologize. I pushed on the Ladies Room door and stood by the sink. After scrubbing off the rest of the sauce, I walked back out towards our booth. What I saw made me stop dead in my tracks.
"Wow, you're, like, super-duper muscular. Do you, like, work out or something?" The waitress' sickly voice asked as she stroked Jack's biceps. I felt my fists clench. What the heck does she think she's doing!?
"Uh, yeah. I do karate.." Jack said uncomfortably, scooting farther away from her. I smirked at his actions. See that you bleach-blonde flirt, he's not interested!
"Really? Wow! That's sooo hot!" She flirted, leaning closer to him. Okay, this ends NOW.
"Ummm.." I said awkwardly as I approached the booth, hiding my anger from my voice. She glared daggers at me as she saw me, but it didn't threaten me AT ALL.
"What? Can't you see we're talking here?" She snottily replied. I cocked an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I'm mostly just see the awkwardness you're putting him through, hun." I shot back sarcastically. Her jaw dropped as I earned an 'oooh' from the guys at my insult. I smirked slightly. Score one for Kim!
"Ugh, just go annoy someone else, would ya? Sheesh, take a hint much?" She spat. I placed a hand on my hips.
"Take a mint much?" I snapped. Her eyes widened as her hand flew up to cover her mouth. The guys snorted, supressing their laughter. Her eyes narrowed at me again.
"You're just too jealous that this cutie," she started, pointing to Jack. "likes me better than you." She crossed her arms, smirking at me. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh really? Because the last time I checked, he didn't go for the fake blonde, tight shirt, booty shorts wearin, nose-job, with ten inch heels. I mean, come on, that's a FACE not a COLORING BOOK! And even if it was a coloring book, you might want to try to stay inside the lines! Now, do us all a favor, and get over yourself, 'Marissa'." I replied angrily, reading her name off her name tag. At this point, Marissa's jaw had dropped to the floor and the guys were almost purple from laughing so hard.
She pulled her tight mini-skirt down slightly as she continued to waste wimpy glares on me. Her eyes flickered to the microphone and stage as an evil grin played on her lips.
"Fine. Let's settle this with a sing-off." She smirked. I narrowed my eyes at her, causing her to shrink back in fear a little.
"Two words: Bring. It." I replied. She smirked again as she flounced off towards the stage.
"Kim, are you sure you can do this?" Jack asked, sliding out of the booth. I nodded, exhaling deeply.
"I sure hope so." I answered. He smiled at me, giving my hand a small squeeze.
"I know you can. Now, get on up there!...Tiger." He replied, mimicking Marissa. I laughed as he winked at me. Oh, how that boy can brighten up a mood! The guys haven't ever really heard me sing by myself, well, no one has heard me sing by myself!
"Alright, first up in our little sing-off tonight is me, Marissa Queebler." She said into the microphone.
"I'm singing 'My World' by Ginger Fox." She finished. Music blared through the speakers as the lyrics popped onto the screen.
"How low, is everybody watchin'?
Before, I get the party started.
You know, you wanna be invited.
Step right up and get a taste before you bite in!" She sang. She wasn't TOO bad, but definitly not very good. After her song ended, I made my way to the stage.
"Hi. I'm Kim Crawford and I'll be singing 'Catch My Breath' by Kelly Clarkson." I said softly. As the music began to play, I felt myself getting into the vibe.
"I don't wanna be left behind. Distance was a friend of mine. Catching breath in a web of lies. I've spent most of my life riding waves, playing acrobat,shadowboxing the other half. Learning how to react I've spent most of my time
Catching my breath, letting it go, Turning my cheek for the sake of the show.
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right.
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that.
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now.
Addicted to the love I found. Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud.
Making time for the ones that count.
I'll spend the rest of my time.
Laughing hard with the windows down.
Leaving footprints all over town.
Keeping faith, karma comes around, I will spend the rest of my life
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show.
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right." I sang. People then started to bob their heads to the music.
"Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that.
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now.
You helped me see the beauty in everything
Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show.
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right." Some, especially the guys, had gotten out of their seats and started to dance. I smiled as I continued to sing.
"Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show.
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right.
Catch my breath
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that.
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now It's all so simple now." By now, everyone was on their feet dancing and cheering loudly, everyone except for Marissa. Meanwhile, I was having so much fun on the stage, singing and dancing my little heart out.
"Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show.
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right.
(Catch my breath)
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
(Catch my breath)
Catch my breath
(catch my breath)
Won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now." I finished. Applause roared through the club as the Jack, Jerry, and Eddie started chanting my name.
I smiled shyly as Marissa stormed off into the kitchen. I guess that could only mean one thing: I. Won.
*Jack's P.O.V*
Let me just say one thing, KIM HAS THE MOST AMAZING VOICE A 15 YEAR OLD COULD HAVE! I stood in amazment, hearing the crowd chant her beautiful name. And to think, she's all mine! She jumped off the stage and ran straight into my out stretched arms.
"That was absolutly AMAZING, Kimmy!" I complemented, picking her up and spinning her around. She giggled as I set her back down delicatley.
"Well, when somebody tries to steal MY boyfriend, you could say I've got a bit of a fierce side." She replied proudly. I smirked at her.
"A BIT of a fierce side?" I asked, snaking my arms around her waist.
"Okay, a fierce-ER side.." She corrected, wrapping her small, yet strong, arms around my neck. I smiled as I leaned down to give her a peck on the lips, but before I could, the voice of the DJ made us jump apart.
"Give it up for the winner of tonight's sing-off, Kim Crawfoorrrd!" He announced. The crowd cheered again, causing Kim to blush. I smirked at her blushing.
"Oooo, is the tough-as-nails, Kim Crawford blushing?" I teased. She smacked my playfully in the chest, a small smile on her face.
"Oh, shut up!" She retorted. I laughed as Eddie and Jerry made their way towards us.
"Kim!" Eddie called. We both looked up at them, one of my arms wrapped tightly around Kim's waist.
"That was totally swag, Mamacita!" Jerry said. Eddie nodded.
"Yeah! We didn't know you could sing!" Eddie added. She smiled warmly.
"I never had a reason to...until now." She answered, turning back to face me. I quickly gave her a peck on the cheek as she grabbed my hand.
"We better start heading back!" Kim continued, walking towards the door. We all followed her out. As we began walking, I gave her hand a small squeeze, causing her to look up at me. I winked in reply.
All the way back to the hotel, we kept gushing complements towards Kim's angelic voice. Throughout the whole walk, her warm hand never left mine. As we entered the lobby, a pale faced and frantic Milton ran up to us.
"Whoa, Milton! What happened?" I asked, worry etched in my voice. He continued is stride, grapping Kim's wrist.
"Big problem. I need Kim's help." He answered frantically, ripping her away from me and up the stairs. She cocked an eyebrow at him, the blue rose I had given bouncing in her hand with every quick step. Instantly, I missed Kim's warmth, but I shook the thought out of my head. I don't have a very good feeling about this 'big problem' Milton was talking about.
*Kim's P.O.V*
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy, Milton! What is going on?" I asked as he pulled me towards his hotel room. My hand still felt cold after getting ripped away from Jack's warmth. Milton began pacing back and forth.
"Wow, this is serious. Alright, what happened?" I asked, confusion and worry creeping through my voice. He suddenly plopped down onto a nearby chair, face buried in his hands.
"I screwed up. I got jealous and messed things up with Julie.." He started, his voice becoming weaker and weaker. I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"How? How did you mess things up?" I asked, urging him to continue. He looked up at me with tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
"She-she broke up wi-with me." He answered in a shaky voice. My heart plummeted at his sentence. The power couple of Seaford High broke up?
"What? Oh, Milton! I'm so sorry!" I said, voice barely above a whisper. I knelt onto the ground and wrapped him into a comforting hug. He quietly sobbed into my shoulder as I rubbed circles into his back. Just because I'm dating Jack, doesn't mean I can't comfort one of my guy best friends!
"I-I really me-messed up." He cried. I continued to rub circles into his back.
"It's okay, Milton. We'll fix this. I'll do everything I can to help you." I reassured him in a soft voice. He sniffled.
"R-really?" He asked, hope slightly in his voice. I smiled, nodding my head.
"Of course! I helped get you two together in the first place! I'll just need a little help..." I replied, eyes wondering to Jack. He was talking with Eddie and Jerry, occasionally glancing at Milton and I. I stood up from my kneeling position, offering Milton a hand. He gladly excepted.
"Let's get you back up to your room so we can talk about this." I said, guiding him towards the elevator. He nodded, sniffling as his tear flow slowed.
I looked back over my shoulder at Jack. A look of confusion and worry was spread on his face. I sighed. Now would be a good time as ever to break the news to them.
"I'll be right up." I said, walking back towards the guys. As I approached them, Jack elbowed Eddie and Jerry, getting them to stop talking. I sighed, staring down at my hands.
"Milton and Julie broke up.." I said sadly. Eddie's smile dropped into a frown, Jerry took on a look of disbelief and shock, and Jack's jaw dropped as his eyes widened.
"What?!" They all asked in unison. I nodded. A comfortable silence came upon us as we took in the shocking news. Finally, Jack spoke up.
"Alright guys, Mission: Get-Milton-And-Julie-Back-Together is a go." He stated. We all smiled at him. Leave it to Jack to come up with a plan!
*Jack's P.O.V*
We had arrived back home in Seaford a week ago and Julie was still giving Milton the silent treatment. No matter how hard Kim tried, she couldn't convince Julie to forgive him.
Since we got back, Milton has done nothing but mope around over his break up, Jerry has been all happy being with Mika again, Eddie and Grace have gotten closer, and Kim and I were as happy as ever. Since Milton and Julie broke up, Kim and I had become the star couple. And yes, it's official! The day we left New York I had asked Kim to be my official girlfriend. She, of course, said yes.
School had just gotten out and I was finishing dumping all my textbooks into my locker. I had asked to meet Kim in the music room afrer school today. We gad a date planned, but an important dinner with my family came up, meaning I had to cancel our date.
I made my way to the music room, opening the door very quietly. There, sitting at the piano, was my adorable girlfriend. She luckily hadn't heard me come in, so I leaned against the wall. Maybe I'll even be lucky enough to her play! As if she had read my mind, soft music from the piano emerged as her angelic voice filled the air.
"She's a girl with the best intentions.
He's a man of his own invention.
She looked out the window, he walked out the door.
And she followed him and he said, "Whatcha looking for?"
She said I want something that I want, something that I tell myself I need.
Something that I want, and I need everything I see
Something that I want,something that I tell myself I need. Something that I want, and I need everything I see, yeah." She sang. The music died down, signaling the end of her little star moment. I then began to clap, causing her to jump up from her seat on the piano bench.
"Jack! Hi! How much did you hear?" She asked, gesturing towards the piano. I smirked.
"Just long enough to know that she's got the best intentions, while he's a man of his own inventions. She was lookin' out the door while he walked out a door. She wants somethin' that she wants, that she tells herself she needs because she needs everthing she sees." I replied, striding towards her. She rolled her eyes, snaking her arms around my neck. I gently wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Guess what movie it's from!" She challenged teasingly. I pretended to think for a moment, even though I already knew what the answer was.
"Tangled." I answered flatly, smirking at my correct answer. She pouted, making my chuckle.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" She asked, softly playing with the back of my hair with her fingertips. I sighed, looking deep into her eyes.
"I kind of have to break our date tonight.." I answered nervously.
"What?" She asked, voice filled with suprise and sadness. Her face had dropped at my words. I pulled her into a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry! I have some dumb family dinner tonight that I can't miss. Can you please forgive me?" I begged. Man, I HATE doing this to her! She slowly pulled away from my embrace and slipped her hands into mine.
"It's okay. I fine with it." She answered honestly. My face brightened.
"Really?" I breathed. She smiled, nodding.
"Yes, really. Go have fun at your dinner!" She replied. My smiled widened as I picked her up and spun her around. She giggled.
"I have the best girlfriend ever!" I cheered. She rolled her eyes playfully.
"You're just lucky I love you." She retorted. I smiled again, giving her a soft kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too. See you tomorrow?" I asked. She grinned, answering my question with a nod. I winked at her as I exited the music room and walked into the empty hallway. The previous scene I had just shared with my girlfriend flashed through my mind, causing me to smile.
"Jaaaaak." A female voice called from behind me. I smiled, thinking it was Kim. Boy, was I wrong!
"Donna?" I gasped as she sashayed toward me. I backed away from her approaching figure. She creepily smiled at me.
"Hello, Jackie." She greeted, cornering my against some lockers. I shifted uncomfortably.
"What do you want, Tobin?" I spat. She creepily smiled again.
"You." She answered flatly. My eyebrows raised in surprise. What do you say to that?
"Well, you can't have me. I'm already dating Kim." I replied, crossing my arms. Before I could walk away, she spoke up again.
"But, do you know what I do have? I think you might be very interested in it." She added. I cocked a confused eyebrow. What could she possibly have that I would want?
I just keep updating later and later! I am so sorry! I have been out of town a lot this month so it's hard to find time to update plus mid-terms are coming up.:P
Anyways, I included A LOT of songs in this chapter. The song the waitress, Marissa, sang was 'My World' by Ginger Fox from an episode of iCarly and also Victorious.(I was thinking of the Karaokie Dokie scene when I wrote that part). The first song Kim sang was 'Catch My Breath' by Kelly Clarkson.(Totally obessed with that song!) The last song Kim sang was the first part of the song 'Somethin' That I Want' from the movie Tangled.(One of my favorite movies!)
Now, do you think Milton and Julie will ever get back together?
What the heck does Donna want?
What's the square root of 146? The world may never know!(until you use a calculator...unless you're like Milton and can figure it out in your head...)
Okay, now for this part, PLEASE DON'T SKIP! VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION VOTE!
Who do you like the best?: Brett or Brody. R&R to tell me your votes! Thanks!
