Check Yes Juliet: A Naitlyn Story
Chapter 13: A Surprise for Caitlyn
A couple weeks after the funeral…
Nate finishes up the song and smiles to himself.
"Whatcha smilin' about dude?" Jason says walking into the living room area of the tour bus.
Connect 3 and their girlfriends have been on the road for about 2 weeks after planning all the small and large details of the girls coming along.
"Just thinking." Nate says while closing his song book.
Jason turns on the TV and grabs a banana. Nate looks around the tour bus.
"Where is everyone?" Nate asks while looking for his friends and his girlfriend.
"They're in the back. Here they come." Jason says after taking a bite of his banana.
Caitlyn is the first to appear out of the back.
"Morning." She says sleepily and sits down by her boyfriend who is at the table.
"Tired?" Nate asks while letting her put her head on his shoulder.
Caitlyn lets out a tired laugh, "Yeah. Staying up until 4:30 a.m. can do that to a girl."
Nate laughs and says, "After a while you get used to it."
Jason pipes in, "Yeah. Just wait until that big party next week. That one last night was only a small one."
Nate glares at Jason. The "party" Jason was referring to was Caitlyn's 16th birthday SURPRISE party. Caitlyn looks up from Nate's shoulder.
"What party?" She asks curiously.
Nate just sighs and says, "A party for you girls who have survived being on tour with Connect 3 all of 2 weeks."
Caitlyn smiles and just says, "Sure."
Nate looks at her, "You don't believe me?"
Caitlyn just laughs and looks at his songbook.
"You been workin' on something special?" She asks while trying to get it.
Nate pushes it farther into the table so both are out of reach of the book.
"Nah." He lies easily and looks around.
He starts to ask where Shane, Mitchie, and Ella were but they come down the small hallway from the bunk beds.
"Morning." Shane says with a smile.
Connect 3 is used to partying it up all night long. The girls on the other hand.. let's just say last night was the first party that they'd been too with Connect 3.
"Morning." Nate and Jason say at the same time.
Mitchie and Ella groan and collapse onto the large couch. Both are asleep within minutes. The guys laugh at their girlfriends, except Nate. Caitlyn is still surprisingly awake.
"You still awake?"
"Yeah." She says while closing her eyes and drifting back to sleep on Nate's shoulder.
Nate carefully picks up Caitlyn and lays her down on her bunk bed. He walks back into the living room/kitchen.
"Hey are you singing that song tonight?" Jason asks almost yelling at Nate.
Shane and Nate both whisper, "Shut up!" at the same time. Jason just finishes his banana and throws it away.
"Yeah. I Am. Not at the concert, at the practice for the concert." He says while looking at the clock. 9:30 a.m. Only about 6 hours until they get to the stage. Shane nods and the boys continue to talk about the concert while their girlfriends are asleep.
About 5 ½ hours later… (2:30 p.m.)
"We're here!" Nate says excitedly.
Caitlyn looks at him suspiciously. "Why are you so excited?"
Nate shrugs and just looks out the window. The concert starts at about 8 and they have to practice for about 3-4 hours. Starting at 3 p.m. Caitlyn rolls her eyes and continues to play scrabble with Mitchie and Ella. The tour bus rolls into a stadium looking thing. It's HUGE to say the least. The sign says: Bradley Convention Center – Houston, Texas.
Connect 3, and unknown to the boys, Mitchie, and Caitlyn are performing at almost every concert starting from this one all the way til the final concert on their tour. Mitchie and Caitlyn share a look of excitement. The tour bus comes to a stop minutes later and everyone gets. When they step inside the center, everyone, even connect 3, are amazed at how big it is. It's smaller than Nate's house, but it's still gigantic! Connect 3's back up guitarist, along with other backup people set up the stage for them. Connect 3's manager, Joe, tells the teens to go on stage. The girls sit in the seats watching their boyfriends get ready.
"When are you going to do it?" Jason whispers as he puts on his guitar.
"I'm thinkin' after Kung Fu Grip." Nate replies as he nervously puts on his guitar.
Shane nods in agreement. Jason looks at him like he's crazy.
"We practice that one first!" He says shocked.
Nate just nods and walks away to a mic.
"Hello ladies. Mic check 1. 2. 3.." Nate says into the microphone.
Caitlyn, Mitchie, and Ella laugh. They even yell, "We Love you!"
The boys laugh and tune their guitars and whatnot. A few minutes later, Nate is playing Kung- Fu Grip with Jason and Shane doing background vocals. It's one of Nate's favorite songs, because it reminds him of someone, CAITLYN. He opens his mouth and sings into the microphone:
She's got a smile.
that I'd die for.
everyone knows, that I'm
a prisoner of war, for her.
yeah.
Sometimes I wish
I had a kung fu grip
Never let her slip,
away she'd be my girl.
I Really wish she knew
what I feel is true
She'd be my doll and
I would be her hero too.
Nate smiles at Caitlyn. She smiles back.
I'm so in love
with her.
Everyone knows
that I'm
Ready to fight, ready to go.
Just like a G.I. Joe
Sometimes I wish.
I had a kung fu grip.
Never let her slip,
away. She'd be my girl.
Nate winks at Caitlyn. She giggles and blushes.
I Really wish she knew
what I feel is true.
she'd be my doll and
I would be her hero too.
Sometimes I wish
I had a kung fu grip.
Never let her slip,
away. She'd be my girl.
Really wish she knew
what I feel is true.
she'd be my doll and
I would be her hero too.
She'd be my doll and
I would be her hero too. (x3)
Nate steps back from the microphone. The three girls in the audience clap and yell, "We Love You!! AHHH!". Nate and the guys laugh.
"you ready to do this?" Shane asks one of his best friends quietly.
Nate nods and says, "Yeah. Let's do this."
Nate gives his guitar to someone else and goes back up to the microphone. He looks at Caitlyn and says:
"I want to sing this song that I wrote for my amazing girlfriend. It has a lot of inside jokes, so hopefully she'll like it and… yeah."
Nate blushes as the music for the song he wrote for her comes on. He sings the first couple of lines:
Check yes Juliet
