All right! I hope this is the last part! Anyway, I skipped right to Sunday afternoon. I'm starting to get a headache from sitting at my comp, but it's worth it. Hope you enjoy it!
I had fun writing it. And to answer the question about why is Kingsport such a hot spot for stars, I really don't know. I thought since I'm going to the New Year's Blink-182 concert I could say that they were playing at the dance. As for Mandy Moore, I have no idea. I don't really like her that much, but I was thinking of songs that different artists sing. Well, you'll see.
(didn't bother w/ spell check either)
The Dance-Part 7:)
Catie was sitting on the couch Sunday afternoon watching her little brother and watching the tv at the same time when the phone rang. "Hello, Roth Residence, Catie speaking." She answered since her mother insisted on being polite on the phone.
"Good afternoon, this is James Waite" Jamie replied in his most snootty voice, then he couldn't help but laugh. Every time she answered the phone he couldn't help but grin.
"Jamie, shut up" she threatened.
"Sorry, I just love the way you answer the phone, you seem so...polite." He joked.
"What do you want?" she asked jokingly.
"Well, just making sure your still up for tonight. You're not dumping me like you did to what's his face?" Jamie inquired
"Of course not. You're so much cuter than him" she teased.
"I know" he answered. They both started laughing. "Well, I don't want to keep you. You only have 6 hours to get ready, and they always say girls take forever to get ready for just about anything." He teased her.
"Well, that's for normal girls, I only take 5 hours" she kidded.
"Great, well I gotta go, pick you up at say a quarter to 7?"
"sure"
"Great, bye"
"Bye"
After Catie hung up the phone her mother called from the kitchen, "Who was that Catie, dear?"
"It was just Jamie" She called back, "He's gonna pick me up at a quarter to seven."
"Oh Jamie is such a darling boy. You two look great as boyfriend and girlfriend." Catie's mother told her.
"Mom, he's not my boyfriend, we're just, um, friends." Catie reassured her.
"Sure dear, whatever you say, but he really is a nice boy"
"He's great mom, he's absolutely perfect." She said quietly.
Now at Jamie's house:
"Who were you talking to?" Sami asked her brother. Prying into his life as usual.
"Just a friend" he told her knowing that she would want to hear more.
"Was it Catie?" She asked putting extra emphasis on 'Catie'
"What's it to you squirt?" answering her question with a question of his own.
"Aha!!" she exclaimed. " I knew it" She then ran off singing "Jamie and Catie sittin' in a tree K I S S I N G ......" her voice trailed off as she ran down the hall and into her room.
Jamie just smiled and shook his head. He really loved his family even when they tortured him and pryed into his private life.
Catie's house at 4:45
Catie had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower when the phone in her room rang. She picked it up and before she could answer heard Val on the other end.
"Hey, Catie, I was wondering maybe if you think I could come over and we could get ready together. You know I could do your make-up and you could do mind. Stuff like that"
"Yeah, sure, but do you really want me to do your make-up?" She asked Val.
"Um, well now that you mention it," Val teased.
"Oh, gee thanks" Catie remarked.
"Just kidding, okay, I'll be over in a little bit." Val told her.
"Great"
"Great, I'll be there." Val hung up the phone and got her things together.
After Catie hung up she quickly got dressed. Nothing special, just a T- shirt and shorts.
When the doorbell rang Catie's mom opened the door. "Oh, hi Val" Mrs. Roth greeted Val. Seeing Val was no surprise to her so she let her in no questions asked. "Catie is in her room" She told her.
"Okay, thanks, Mrs. Roth."
"Uh Huh dear" And with that Val took off up the stairs and into Catie's room.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Okay, ready to get started?" Val asked.
"Um, it's only 5" Catie told her.
"Goodness we better hurry up, after all you still need to dry your hair." Val informed her. "What time is Jamie coming?" She asked.
"Quarter to seven"
"Good, cause Tyler is picking me up at my house and I need time to walk home."
"You're going to walk all the way home in your dress?" Catie wasn't really understanding what Val was thinking.
"Yeah, it only takes a few minutes" Val replied.
"Whatever, you really are blonde" Catie teased.
"Hey" Val shot back and threw a pillow at her. "Okay, you go dry your hair in the bathroom and while your at it you can change into your dress"
"Yes, Ma'am" Catie answered, grabbing her stuff and marching out of the room.
Meanwhile Val was setting up all her hair and make-up on Catie's desk. She laid her jewelry next to everything and changed into her dress.
Catie was done in about fifteen minutes and went back into her room hoping Val hadn't turned it into a beauty parlor. "Wow, you look perfect already" Val exclaimed.
"So do you" Catie told her.
"Okay, let's get started on our hair" Val announced.
"Right," Catie started, "I was just gonna leave it down"
"Great idea, you're looks really good down" Val said. "I was thinking about curling mine a little and then putting these in" Val held up two barettes set with little crystals.
"That would look great" Catie told her.
Now at Jamie's house.
Jamie was already dressed, but couldn't figure out what to do with his hair. He tried spiking it as usual, but it just didn't seem right. He didn't even try wearing flat on his head like Tyler's, he just couldn't put himself through that. "Whatever" he muttered and figured maybe he'd try again in a few minutes giving his gel some time to set in some more.
He looked at his clock, it read 6:05. He didn't have much longer to finish getting ready. He walked out into the kitchen for a glass of water when his sisters started clapping for him. "Ooooooooooo, Jamie looks real nice!" Molly exclaimed. "Mommy! Come look at Jamie!!!" Sami yelled.
"You guys," Jamie started to say when he heard his mom enter the kitchen.
"Oh, Jamie, honey, you look great" his mom told him.
"Thanks, but my hair is cooperating" he said,looking in the refrigerator for a bottle of water.
"No, you look wonderful"
Jamie just smiled, kissed his mom on the cheek and walked back to his room.
Back to Catie's house.
Val had just finished applying Catie's eyeshadow when Catie asked her, "Now I don't look like you do I?" Her voice full of pretend worry.
"Very funny" Val told her. "Now remember, no moshing" Val teased. Both girls started laughing.
Val looked at the clock sitting on Catie's nightstand. "6:29, I better go." She said. "I'll see ya there"
Catie was leading Val out the door when Mrs. Roth stopped them. "Girls, can I just take a picture?" she asked.
"Sure thing" Val replied.
"Thanks, now why don't you two stand over by the stairs. Oh, this will make such a cute picture."
Catie and Val stood by the stairs and stood back to back like they often did when they were taking pictures together.
"Okay" Val told them. "I gotta go, bye"
As Val was walking down the path, Catie called out, "Hey Val... thanks" Val smiled and continued on her way home.
Jamie got into his brother's roadster and started off toward Catie's house. (his brother is off at college & didn't take the car w/ him in case you're wondering)
A single red rose was sitting on the seat next to him. Roses were Catie's favorite flowers he recalled, especially red ones. He seemed to have remembered Catie saying something about just a single rose being so romantic and what made it even better red roses meant love.
Jamie arrived at Catie's house just on time. He rang the doorbell and was greeted by Catie's mom. "Jamie, hello dear."
"Hi, Mrs. Roth"
"Just a minute, I'll get Catie." Mrs. Roth went upstairs to get her daughter and Jamie just stood at the bottom of the stairs. Mrs. Roth was first to come down. "She'll be write down." She informed him.
When Catie came down the stairs Jamie was just stunned. She looked beautiful in her red spaghetti-stapped dress that came just above her knees. The dress had Asian-inspired flowers along the bottom. Catie seemed to sparkle like a goddess even in the dim light. Of course, to Jamie, Catie always looked like a goddess, but tonight she just seemed different.
"Okay, you know, it's kinda not polite to stare, Jamie" Catie reminded him seeing that he hadn't said a word to her yet.
"Right, sorry, uh, um, it's just that you look great"
"Thanks," she told him, "you don't look half bad yourself, although I do prefer jeans and a t-shirt" she teased
"Me too" he answered. "Oh, uh, this is for you" Jamie said handing her the rose.
"A rose." She gasped. "Jamie, thank you"
Catie's mom decided that now was a perfect time to interrupt.
"Okay, like I did with Val I want to get some pictures of you two together." She told them.
"Um, yeah, sure" Jamie agreed looking into Catie's eyes.
The two of them stood in front of the stairs so Mrs. Roth could take their pictures. Jamie put his arm around Catie while she held her rose like it was the most precious gift she had ever received. And for once, Jamie looked happy in a picture.
After a few minutes of pictures, Catie's mom finally let them go. "Mom, we're gonna be late" Catie reminded her.
And so Catie and Jamie left for the dance.
My hopes have died! I got to start another one. Not exactly what I've been waiting for. :( *sighs out of frustration * Okay, I promise, that the next part will be the very last for this fic. I never thought it would be so long. I was thinking maybe only 3 parts, but I was wrong!!!!!
Finally, the last part!!! I know this will be the last because they finally made it to the dance!! I'll try not to lose my train of thought, but I'm listening to my Blink CD for any extra ideas. Okay, I better start the rest of my fic--- (once again, did not bother with spell check)
The Dance-Part 8
The Finale
Catie and Jamie arrived at the dance to see Val and Tyler and Jasmine and Hank waiting outside for them.
Val was the first to notice them. "Catie, Jamie" she yelled.
"Hey guys" Catie and Jamie said in unison.
"Wow, everyone looks great" Catie told them.
"Thanks" they all replied and everyone started laughing.
"Hey, we're all thinking alike" Hank said to them
"Oh NO! I'm thinking like you normal people!" Catie exclaimed jokingly.
"Hey" Jamie gave her a little push
"Oh sorry, Jamie's far from normal" Catie teased. And everyone started laughing.
"Hey, uh, I think we should head in now." Tyler said pointing towards the door.
Catie saw Travis with one of Val's friends from cheerleading when she walked in and she immediately led Jamie in the other direction. She hoped he wouldn't notice her at all that night seeing as how she lied and said she was going out of town. Catie didn't feel like telling him the truth.
And so they headed in. Jamie and Catie walked hand in hand and found a corner where they could sit for a little while. Soon after they sat down Tom(from Blink-182) came on stage. "Wow, there sure a lot of you people out there!" he exclaimed as the rest of the band came out to join him. He continued, "In case you didn't know, we are professionals, however, we just professionally suck! And act really stupid on stage" The whole room started laughing. As everyone quieted down, Mark approached the microphone, "Okay, enough with us, please everyone give a warm welcome to the real talent of the night-Mandy Moore!" Everyone clapped as Mandy Moore walked on stage. "Hi everyone, I hope ya'll have a great time tonight as we ring in the New Year together. So have fun and let this party begin!" she announced and Blink-182 opened with "Carousel"(my fave Blink song).
Catie and Jamie were having so much fun that they couldn't believe it when it was 5 minutes to midnight.
They stood next to Val and Tyler and Jasmine and Hank as they counted down the seconds till 2001.
"6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" everyone shouted.
Jamie turned to Catie and looked into her beautiful brown eyes. "I love you, Catie Roth" he whispered, but to Catie it sounded just perfect, even with everyone shouting and Blink-182 playing a cover of "It's The End of The World as We Know It".
Before Catie could say anything Jamie wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in the few remaining inches separating them. His lips caught hers perfectly and he could taste a hint of cinnamon that drove him crazy.
Catie was so shocked that she had to grab on to his tux jacket to keep from falling over and breaking the sweet kiss. She felt like she had died and gone to heaven. Unfortunately, like all good things it had to come to and end.
She pulled away, her body trembling all over. "I love you too, Jamie Waite" she whispered, but Jamie heard it perfectly. She rested her head on his shoulder and they slow danced together to Mandy Moore's "Walk Me Home". It had been the perfect night for both of them and neither wanted it to end.
Okay, so the ending was kinda shot down. :) I tried making it sound better, but nothing was coming to mind. Oh well. * singing to "Man Overboard, so sorry it's over, so sorry it's over * *grin * Actually, I'm glad I finished it, now I can work on my next fic. I'll give you a hint, it has do with Catie and Jamie. hehehe That's all I can say!!!!:)
I think I can get this part back to the 7th so it will all be on one.

Catie and Jamie arrived at the dance to see Val and Tyler and Jasmine and Hank waiting outside for them.

"Hey guys" Catie and Jamie said in unison.
"Wow, everyone looks great" Catie told them.
"Thanks" they all replied and everyone started laughing.
