7.chapter Having fun and breaking up.
------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reviews and anonymous 327: I perfectly know what's right and
wrong and yes, I like bad guys. And this isn't the books, it's a
fanfiction. But tell me, what about the story? Is it a disaster because I
changed Joe? Tell me if you have something positive, or negative, about the
storyline itself. But you know what, I totally agree with you. Thank
goodness for the original books... otherwise no one could make a fanfic
about it!
To NeverendingEcho: I'm afraid I don't know what this html format thing is
but thank you for your review and you know, you've got to update your
story. And thank you so much for your reviews!!!
To Wait: Thank you for your reviews and maybe I'll put in some flashbacks
from the missing years.
I have to admit that I'm not sure where this chapter came from. It's rather
dramatic and usually I don't like drama, I kinda blush, honestly...Let me
know if it's stolen from some soap opera or something...
---------------------------------------------------------------
Callie Shaw was waiting in front of the big supermarket- signboard.
Someone had called her earlier and told her to meet there. She was almost sure it was Joe but still not 100% sure, but he sounded very serious. That signboard was beside the parking lot of Frank's block and she could see his living room from where she was. She tried to eye him. Maybe she could go to him while she was waiting. They hadn't seen each other much for a long time.
Her teeth chattered. It was so cold and Joe or whoever it was who called didn't seem to be on his way.
Callie had waited for 20 minutes.
Suddenly she saw something in Frank's apartment on the balcony. Was it a girl? Yes, it was. It was Nancy Drew. Callie remembered her, she had been to Bayport several times before with her father and sometimes on her own, to help Fenton and the Hardy brothers on some cases. Now she was there with Frank and they did not look very well to Callie.
Somebody had probably put glue on their tongues, or could there be any other reason for they were hanging on each others lips?
Of course, this was ironic. Callie knew exactly what was going on. She was very angry and completely forgot what she was doing there and walked as fast as she could home where she fell on her bed and cried.
----------------------------------------------------- Eight young people met in front of this very same signboard later in the night and one of them was Callie. Chet Morton, Biff Hooper and Tony Prito were there too. And the Hardy brothers, of course, and Nancy Drew and Luise was with Joe. He introduced her to the others and Frank did the same thing with Nancy.as an old friend.
'So' Biff said and rubbed his hands, 'Where should we go?'
'I know about a good restaurant, 'Chet said and smiled.
'Not another restaurant' Tony complained.
The guys all began to argue about where they should go. Joe, Tony and Biff wanted to go to some nightclub or a party but Frank and Chet wanted to go to a quiet restaurant, Chet was the worth of two because of his body size, so technically it was three on each idea. The girls watched, at least Nancy and Luise, Callie was looking at Nancy angrily. No one noticed it.
Nancy was getting bored of the argue and went between the guys and cut in:
'Guys! Guys! Can you stop that, come on. Can't we just go to both places?'
Five faces smiled at her.
'No, Nancy' Frank said and looked at his friends, 'That's not how it works. We like this, we always do this just to see who wins, which side are you on?' he asked.
Nancy blushed. Everyone were looking at her. 'Well.I.um, I think I go with the restaurant idea' she finally decided.
Frank looked smiling at Chet.
'What about you girls?' Biff asked Callie and Luise.
Luise walked to Frank and Nancy. She stood against Joe.
'I'd pick the restaurant' she said, 'There are so many funny things you can do under the tables' she added and looked Joe in the eyes.
The other whistled. Joe blushed like the Santa's suit.
'Well, then Callie. It's up to you, honey' Frank said to and looked at her begging.
She grinned.
'I'm a nightlifefan,' she said and walked slowly to Joe, Biff and Tony with her arms crossed.
'It's fifty-fifty then ' Biff said, 'What to do?'
'We'll go to both places' Nancy said and smiled.
'Ok, how about this? We pay for you into the nightclub and you'll pay for us on the restaurant. 'Tony suggested.
The restaurant group was not happy about that.
'That's not fair, restaurants are so much more expensive!' they objected.
Tony smiled. 'I know that, I'm not the one who wanted to go there!'
Frank, Chet and Nancy all looked at each other.
'You know, Joe, it's really impolite to let the girl pay, especially on a first date' Luise said.
Joe smiled with his muscular arms crossed.
'No one ever said you'd have to pay, they can do it' he said and pointed at Frank, Nancy and Chet with his head.
They all gaped.
Nancy was about to agree with Luise when she noticed Callie' s eyes on her and remembered who she was, unfortunately, still Frank's girlfriend.
'All right, ok. We'll keep it that way, let's just get in now, it's cold out here' Chet said.
They all went into a fine restaurant and had a great meal, though it was obviously some tension between Nancy and Callie but of course nobody said nothing. Nancy felt very jealous, looking at Callie in Frank's arms.
'Tell me' Biff said to Frank and Joe, 'How did you met Nancy?'
'Oh, our dads were helping each other on a case and somehow we got involved with it, and solved it' Frank explained and smiled at Nancy.
'And you two?' Tony asked, meaning Joe and Luise.
'Well, we just met today. Frank and I were talking to the man she works with, Mr. Cline' Joe said and looked at Luise with sparkling eyes. She smiled but raised her eyebrows
'And that's it? You're incredible.' Biff said to Joe.
'I can't help how attractive I am' Joe said and grinned.
Biff looked at Callie who was sitting beside him (the table was round and Callie sat between Biff and Frank, Nancy sat on Frank's other side). She was a little pale.
'Is there something wrong?' he asked and put his hand on her shoulder.
'No, I'm fine' she answered and looked at his hand on her shoulder.
They had been friends since forever, almost like brother and sister.
Frank looked at Callie without saying a word.
'Joe, can you talk to me for a moment?' She asked and looked at him.
'Of course' he stood up.
They went to the toilet entrance.
'Joe, did you call me earlier?' Callie asked.
Joe's eyes went wide-open.
'No, I didn't' he answered.
Callie start walking around.
'This is so weird, somebody with a similar voice to yours, called me and told me to meet him outside Frank's block and when I was waiting I saw them on the balcony, they were kissing.'
-'Who?' Joe asked though he knew.
'Frank and this.Nancy!' Callie said angrily. Tear fell down her cheek. Joe wasn't sure of what to do.
'Excuse me' she said and went into the toilet.
She splashed cold water over her face and looked at herself in the mirror and wondered what Nancy Drew had that she hadn't..beside the same hobbies as Frank.
When Callie came out of the toilets Joe was gone but Frank waited for her.
He smiled.
'May I have this talk?' he asked politely like he was asking her to dance.
'I guess' Callie answered not in the same glad tone.
'Is something wrong?' he asked.
'No' Callie looked away.
-'There's got to be something, you're not like yourself' Frank said. He was a little bit afraid of what she had been talking to Joe about. If he had told her about him and Nancy he wouldn't survive the night!
'What do you know about that?' she thought. 'Really, I'm fine' she said aloud.
-'Can we go outside for a moment?'
-'Sure.'
They went out.
It was cold outside.
Frank and Callie didn't look at each other and it was very uncomfortable but they didn't know what to do or say.
'What were you and Joe talking about?' Frank finally asked.
-'Nothing, nothing at all,' Callie answered.
-'Come on, you can tell me. Please!'
Callie sighed. 'Maybe it was something you shouldn't know about' she said.
'And what could that be?' Frank asked.
Callie sat on the steps and thought about what she could say.
'Frank, did you have a girlfriend before me?' she asked.
'No, why?' Frank asked, he was getting very nervous.
-'It doesn't matter.' They sat silent.
'Are you on a case?' Callie asked.
Frank nodded.
'Is Nancy helping you?'
That was what Frank had feared, how was he supposed to answer?
'Well, no.she's, she's just on a vacation' Frank lied and hated himself for it.
'Do you like her?' Callie asked.
Frank looked at her. 'Pardon me?'
-'Do you like her?' Callie repeated.
-'We're friends.'
-'And you're my so called "boyfriend" but still you can kiss her and God knows what more!' Callie spat out.
Frank stood up. 'Callie, I..I didn't know what to say and I wasn't thinking and I was stupid and I should have told you first but, you see, Nancy and I...well...' he said.
Callie nodded. 'I don't want to hear it. Can you tell the others that I have a headache?' she said and walked away.
Frank watched her. He turned around to go back in and saw his brother standing there.
Joe had been standing there for a while. He couldn't help smiling but managed to hide it before Frank turned to him.
Frank tried to find something suspicious in his brothers face.
'Did you tell her?' he asked and prepared to kill Joe.
'What? About you and Nancy? No, I didn't. She told me she had been walking to you and saw you and Nancy kissing' Joe said.
They looked at each other. Joe seemed to be telling the truth but lately he had been acting a little strange. Their friends came out of the restaurant.
'Well, at last Chet has finished his meal and we can go to some place with more fun!' Biff announced loudly, he looked around. 'Hey, where did Callie go?' he asked.
'She had a headache' Frank answered and looked significant at Joe and then at Nancy.
'One less to pay for into the nightclub' Nancy said lightly, which she shouldn't have.
'Is something wrong?' Biff asked Frank.
Frank shook his head. 'No, everything's fine.'
'What are we waiting for then?' Tony asked and smiled.
'Nothing. Let's go!' Joe answered and put his arm around Luise.
They went into a small nightclub. Not the Fanclub(that's what the Nightlifefanclub was called). Tony didn't like to have fun where he worked. Besides there had been made some security arrangements because of the murder of Sarah Cline. A lots of guards everywhere. The group had fun there 'till 5 a.m. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy and review. Hey, you know you're supposed to review I don't need to write it all the time, do I?
I'm going to a field trip to Denmark on Sunday so I won't be able to update for a week, or so, but I think it's ok, it's not that exciting, anyway. I'll be expecting some reviews when I check it out next time... Ps. I have a question, is there a book where Joe and Vanessa met or did she just turn up like that, like she had always been there?
Thank you
