Chapter 9: What Happened to Natalie
Natalie floated back to her hotel room. All she could think about was Greg, and how truly sweet he was to her. She came to room 523, her room, and swiped the key through. She opened the door as soon as the light turned green. The love-struck 13 year old flopped down onto the couch.
"I am so lucky." Natalie said with a smile.
"Hey, Sweetie." Natalie jumped at the sound of her mother's voice. Natalie turned around to face her mom.
"Hey Mom, I didn't realize you were here." Natalie hadn't remembered her mom coming upstairs, although after she talked to Greg, everything else sort of faded away.
"What are you doing tonight?" Katie asked as she sat down next to her daughter.
"Why? Why do you ask?" Natalie nervously interrogated
"I was just wondering because your dad and I are going out with Summer and Zack, but now I know that you're obviously doing something that you would rather me not know about, I definitely want to know. So spill." Katie's eyes locked when they met Natalie's.
"Okay, tonight I have this, sort of guitar lesson-date thing with Greg." Natalie blushed
"Oh, how cute, and you're getting a guitar lesson? Sweetheart that's wonderful! Do you need help getting ready?" Katie was ecstatic for Natalie.
"Sure, why not?" Natalie said as she shrugged. She didn't want to break her mom's heart now.
"Okay, how much time do we have? I have to leave around 4:45." Katie checked her watch. "It's 4:15 right now, so we have roughly thirty minutes." Katie got up from the couch as if to say "Come on, we have work to do." Natalie arose and followed her mother into the bedroom of the suite.
"Did you bring a pair of jeans?" Katie questioned as she looked through her daughter's red suitcase.
"Yeah, should I wear them?" Natalie watched her mother tear apart her neatly folded clothes in her red bag. Her dark blue pair of jeans came flying at her.
"Definitely. What about shirts? Which ones did you bring?"
"Umm...I brought a red tank top, my baby blue Lotus shirt...." Natalie was cut off by her mom.
"Wear this." Katie said as she held a green shirt out that said 'Rock Star' on it in black script. Natalie did as her mother told her to do and put on the green shirt and jeans. Her hair was down and straightened. She didn't look too shabby.
"Sorry honey I have to get ready. You look great though." Katie said as she took a quick look at her watch. Five minutes later Katie walked out of the bathroom wearing a scarlet shirt with white polka dots and a black pair of jeans. "Bye Nat, good luck! Love you! See you around ten-thirty!" Katie said as she kissed Natalie's forehead and left the hotel room. A few minutes later, Ally walked in.
"Hey Natalie, I ran into Greg on the way up here." Ally said as if it were no big deal.
"What did he say?" Natalie tried to sound cool, but Ally could hear the excitement in her sister's voice.
"He said that; oh gosh I'm sorry Natalie, he said that it just wouldn't work out for tonight." Ally said with a shrug.
"Oh, did he say why?" Natalie's heart sank and hit rock bottom.
"He said it was because something came up, and that he was sorry it didn't work out." Ally said slyly
"Oh, I see." Natalie said trying to hold back tears. She ran into the bedroom and shut the door. How could this happen? The best day of her life had turned into her worst. Finally she just let it all out, tears rolled down Natalie's rosy cheeks and onto the beige bed-spread. She had to talk to someone, but who? Suddenly she remembered that Hannah, her best friend, was home this summer. Natalie grabbed her black and white striped cell phone out of her bag, and dialed Hannah's cell phone number.
"Hello?" Hannah answered
"Hey Hannah. It's me, Natalie." Natalie sobbed out
"Nat what's wrong? You sound terrible!" Hannah exclaimed
"I.....I...I...." Natalie started "I met this guy........and he's really sweet, and adorable....."
"So what's wrong then?" Hannah wondered aloud
"Well....we sort of had a date........and then....and then....." Natalie started to cry hysterically
"He broke it off?" Hannah finished her friend's sentence quietly "Oh sweetie that's terrible! I'm so sorry!" Natalie thought of her caring, considerate, cheerful, best friend. She imagined Hannah sitting next to her, with her long curly chestnut hair, and her kelly-green eyes. Natalie wanted Hannah to be there next to her to console her so badly.
"Listen to me Natalie, he's only a guy. Just keep repeating that." Hannah said trying to help her friend
"Yeah, He's just the guy I'm in love with!!!" Natalie screamed into the phone, which set her off again. Tears were now flooding out of Natalie's deep brown eyes.
"Nat, I'm sorry. Did you talk to him?" Hannah questioned with a warmth to her voice.
"No, but Ally did!" Natalie sniffled
"Okay, okay. Just breathe Natalie. Relax. Do something to get your mind off of him." Hannah said calmly
"Okay, I will. Bye Hannah." Natalie said following her best friend's orders
"Bye Nat, feel better!" Hannah said before she hung up. Natalie went into the sitting room of the suite.
"...are too good." Ally said as Natalie walked in. Ally quickly realized that her sister had walked in. "Oh, hey Nat. Feeling better? That's just too bad about Greg and you."
"Yeah, it is..." Don't think about him! Natalie thought. She immediately changed the subject. "What are you watching?" Natalie said while she sat down next to her sister on the couch.
"Just Friends, nothing special." Ally gestured toward the TV.
"Do you mind if I watch with you?" Natalie asked
"Not at all." the 12 year old blonde said cunningly. ...............................................................
Natalie looked at her watch. It was only 8:30,and she was already tired. Ally and her had ordered up room service for dinner, hoping their parents wouldn't mind. All of a sudden the phone started ringing. Ally leapt for the phone.
"Hello?" Ally said breathlessly
"Hey this is Greg. I was just wondering if Natalie was feeling better?" Greg asked sweetly
"No, I'm sorry." Ally said angelically into the receiver
"Oh, well then, bye Ally." Greg said unhappily
"Bye." Ally said cheerfully as she hung up the phone. Natalie looked at her and pointed to the phone.
"Who was that?" Natalie asked
"Oh, wrong number." Ally replied
"Oh, okay. I think I'm gonna turn in, I'm pretty tired. G'night Al." Natalie said with a yawn
"Good Night Natalie." Ally kept her eyes glued to the TV and waved at her sister. Soon after Natalie fell fast asleep, Ally started plotting what she would do to keep Natalie and Greg apart for the rest of the trip. She was not going to loose another guy she loved. (reference: chapter 6)
