Chapter 28

Wen's POV

That nerve of a guy! We were friends since forever and then he just left like that! How could he? And how could Olivia not tell us! Well, she only learned an hour or so before but still!

Speaking of Olivia, she and Charlie was trying to comfort a crying Mo. Stella was nowhere to be seen and I was just standing there. Olivia hugged Mo and walked towards me, now that I think about it, Olivia can be very sweet. At times. Others, she is a pain in the neck.

"So...are you doing ok?" Olivia asked. I shrugged.

"I guess, I mean Scott was one of my best buds since when we were little so it is a weird feeling losing him ya know?" I said.

"I guess it is hard losing a friend you were close to, but if you guys were meant to be buds forever, than we have to see how life goes. Life may be about decision, but there is always a destiny."

"And where did you learn all this?"

"On the road, from what I've been through."

Then it struck me. I totally forgot. Olivia had nothing but lost for a long time. Oops.

"Sorry," I muttered. She nodded to me.

"It's ok, people forget about me easily."

"I didn't mean it like that..."

"I know, but I am just saying."

She walked away, but turned back.

"Hey have you seen Stella?"

"No, why?"

"Cuz, I guess I wondered where she is..."

Stella's POV

I was mad. I was really mad. I was super mad. I was horrifically to anyone else mad. I marched up to Ray. Surprisingly, he was at the park. Anyways, I marched up to Ray. I planted myself in front of him.

"HOW COULD YOU!?" I screamed.

"What?" he asked innocently. Grr, I am REALLY mad now. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY lies to Yamada.

"YOU MADE SCOTT PART OF YOUR BAND, YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM US, YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM MO, YOU ARE ARE A CRAZY WEIRDO PSYCHO BASTARD! THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU! YOU ARE-" I was cut off when Ray kissed me. On the lips. Forcefully. I like that. OMG! Did I just say I liked kissing Ray!? Before I could do anything else, he forced his tongue in my mouth. That nerve he just did it like that! But hactually IS a good kisser. Good enough for me I guess. Hmm, Ray Beech as Stella Yamada's boyfriend. I guess it could work. Of course, he would have to stop being an idiot for me do date him.

We pulled apart. Ray was smirking. No matter how good of a kisser he is, I am STILL steamed.

"What are you doing? Stealing Scott from our band?" I demanded.

"Well we needed a new guitar member and Scott was a really good one," he said, slowly.

"But he was already part of OUR band, what do you think you are doing taking him away from us?"

"Well he was getting pretty close to you, closer than Mo so I had to do something."

"That didn't mean you had to take away from us you-wait what?"

"Erm, I just like have this like crush on you no biggie?"

"You have a crush, on your archenemy?"

"Well, actually I didn't want you to know I had a crush, but I wanted to talk to you so...I kept making arguments..." My head was spinning.

"After all this time, I thought you were my enemy."

"Yeah...so...do you want to go out with me?"

I paused thinking. Ray might be a good boyfriend, but he just stole Scott away from us, that is bad mojo.

"No, well yes, sort of. You are going on a trail date. I don't trust you after all the things you have done to me, whether good or bad. Got it?"

He nodded, but he had a frown on his face. I smirked.

"Good," I continued, "it starts tomorrow."

I walked away with the last word. Ahh! It feels so good.


Olivia's POV

I was walking back towards the house after the whole Scott incident. I passed the park on the way home. I sighed. After the whole Spencer incident when I first met him, I lost my skateboard. It was very special to me. I stopped.

No. Way. I thought. This is unbelievable! Stella kissing Ray! That bastard! Ray, not Stella. First, he hits on me, then he teams up with my dad-I still don't know how he got out of going to jail, he takes Scott away from us, and now he is kissing Stella! Wait, that is good.

If he likes Stella, she might get him to let Scott come back to us, I knew it! Something was going on about Ray! No boy picks a fight with the same girl daily! But why take Scott away.

Well, Scott does guitar, like Stella so they usually meet at each other's houses to practice. Plus, they have a ton of dignity and pride. PLUS, some people think if they go together, they would become power couple. But people don't say that when they are around. And Mo too. Aha! That's why! I am so smart!

I hurried home, but realized I wasn't doing anything, so slowed down my footsteps. Even so, I reached the house in 5 minutes. No one was home.

I grabbed my laptop and song book and headed towards the lake.


Wen's POV

I saw Olivia near the park and decided to follow her. I mean I am no snoop, but this is like playing spy when I was little. I miss those times.

She was staring at something at the park so long, I thought she was frozen. Oh, well. Maybe it was nothing.

She entered the house and I hid behind a tree. She came out again with her laptop and songbook and headed towards the woods. Maybe to the lake.

When we got there, I was still hiding from her and she sat down in the shade of a tree, facing the lake. She opened her laptop and pulled up a piano app. She opened the songbook and began playing softly. Soon, she started singing. I was the song we heard from her at this same place, but this time, I was paying attention to her voice. It was so sweet and melodic and beautiful and amazing and wonderful and great and perfect and harmonizing and soft and pretty and superb and wow-oh my gosh, I am drooling! What the heck!

Olivia stopped singing and playing and I froze. Did she hear me? Was I discovered. She picked up a pencil and began furiously scribbling down lyrics. Oh. I let out my breath and sighed. That was close. Olivia kept writing and erasing and writing and erasing after she wrote like what the chorus and stuff. She was stuck on a part though.

Should I go out there and help her? What if she gets mad at me? Is it a good idea?

I shook my head. That is silly. I am her band mate, I should be able to help her.

I tiptoed to where she sat.

"Hey," I said softly.


Olivia's POV

"Hey," I heard someone say.

I looked up startled, but I was only Wen.

"Oh, hey," I answered.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Just writing some songs,"

"Do you need help?"

"I guess, I mean I practically have everything finished, but the bridge is the problem,"

"Here give me it,"

I handed my songbook to him and watch him read it over.

"This is great, Olivia. It is a really good song," he said.

"Thanks," I answered, blushing.

"Um," he sat down and continued, "maybe you could add a rap part or something here."

"That's a good idea, except I don't know how to rap."

"I could try, I have done some before," he offered. I nodded.

"Sure."

It was about 30 minutes later and I was playing on my laptop.

"Done," Wen announced.

"Let me see," I took it from him and began reading it. I giggled.

"What?"

"Heaven-sent, really?"

"Yeah, I mean, I am heaven-sent."

"Sure you are," I muttered. Here let's play the song over once," he took the laptop from me and started playing.

Trying hard to fight these tears
I'm crazy worried
Messing with my head this fear
I'm so sorry
You know you gotta get it out
I can't take it
That's what being friends about

I looked up at Wen and gasped, I didn't realized we were so close.
