((Sorry for taking so long, you guys. My computer went "blah" and then I
hit a writer's block for this story... Actually, I still have writer's block
and that's why this chapter stinks and is short. I decided to make this one
not as dramatic, sorry if it's a bit boring... well, at least until the end...
Thanks to all of my reviewers so much! If anybody has any requests or ideas
for the upcoming chapters, I'm all open. Writer's block stinks. Okey doke,
here we are, then...))
Chapter Seven: Won't Get Fooled Again
"Okay, dudes! Because it's been so while since we last rocked out together, I... arranged us a gig for the night you guys leave!" Dewey exclaimed. The group had met back at his apartment around lunch time- and he had just made this announcement!
Gordon grinned. He had thought this was going to happen... he glanced around at the instrumental power of the band. Freddy, Zack, Tomika, and Lawrence- who all had been practicing their talents furiously as careers- all looked completely excited. The others though... Marta and Alicia looked both happy and nervous- but Katie looked downright disappointed.
Gordon decided to go talk to her as everybody else dispersed to talk and whatnot.
"Hey, Katie, what's up?" He asked, making his way towards her corner.
"Nothing..." She mumbled, her gaze elsewhere. He followed it and ended up at Freddy. Gordon turned back to her.
"Freddy problems?" Gordon guessed. Katie sighed, and put her attention towards him.
"Yeah, I guess... Ugh! We were just talking this morning how he doesn't think I can play anymore! And then our fight doesn't make anything better! He keeps acting like such a jerk, when he acted so nice before last night! Ugh... I won't get fooled by him again..." Katie confided in Gordon. He thought about it for a moment.
"It's not your fault. Both of you are mad. Just... just try to forget everything he has said and focus on the music and starting over with him- just as friends this time..." Gordon carefully suggested.
"I've tried! But it's impossible to do or say anything around him without him blowing up on me! And now there's the added pressure of playing well in this stupid gig... I don't know what to do..." She let her head roll down where she kept her eyes glued.
"Just give it time, Katie. Just give it time." Gordon placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'll catch you later."
She just nodded solemnly as he walked off to hang around Marta. She was awesome! Okay... so maybe Gordon could admit to have having a crush on her as kids. And now she was even more beautiful and awesome! She was studying to become a teacher- the perfect thing for her.
"Hey, Gordon!" She smiled as he came up to her, Alicia, and Marco.
"Hey, you guys. I can't wait to set up a light show for our new gig!" He laughed.
"Good- cause we can't wait to sing!" Alicia chipped in.
"And I can't wait to... wait. What was it that I do again?" Marco asked sarcastically, even though everyone knew he actually had a point. He and the few others just helped out around stage- but that definitely didn't mean they weren't helpful or meaningful to the band!
"It's been so great seeing you guys again. I'm gonna miss it all when we go back. But I am so tired of just standing around in Dewey's apartment! I say we go out to the park or something; get a little fresh air!" Marta suggested. The others nodded in agreement. Just then, a cell phone went off- ringing the intro of AC/DC's Back in Black. About five hands went down to their pockets and purse- but it was Marta who actually brought hers out.
"Sorry..." She smiled awkwardly. Gordon couldn't help but think how cute her awkward smile was... ugh! He felt like hitting himself in the head. He had to stop thinking about Marta!
"Yeah... yeah... wha-...?" Marta's colorful face was drained. As she bit her lip in distress, the room had gone quiet and all eyes were on her... "Um, yeah. Thanks. Bye..."
She flipped the phone shut, and Gordon didn't have to be a rocket scientist to see the tears beginning to fill up her eyes.
"Um. I'd love to... stay and chat some more everyone... but, um... my Mom just died of a heart attack... I-I'll be right back..." She flushed, tears streaming down as she ran out into the hallway. People were wincing and, some had gasped. Summer looked hardened especially.
Gordon couldn't help but think, Oh no, not again...
((Sorry about the lame chapter, guys. It'll all make sense in the next.))
