Chapter 14: New Attitude
"Sorry I'm late." Emma said while walking into Jimmy's apartment. "Mmm did someone make guacamole it's my favorite."
"Yeah Paige mom's did." Jimmy said
"Can I have some?" Emma's asked.
"Sure, you can either get some from the floor or off Hazel or Manny." Marco Joked.
"Huh?" Emma said.
"Paige spilled guacamole all over Hazel and Manny." Jimmy replied. "There getting cleaned up in the bathroom. Me and Marco were just on our way downstairs to the laundromat to clean their clothes. Oh man, I forgot to get spare robes from the pantry. I'll be right back."
"Look Toby you sure you can do this?" Jay asked. "Because if you're not sure I can take you home."
"I'm sure I hacked into bigger things then a alarm system computer." Toby replied. "It won't be a problem your friends at the car lot were helpful."
"Got to love those boys too bad they can't hack as fast as you. Then we wouldn't have to do this."
"Well we are, so just drive to the parking lot and lets get it over. The sooner the better."
"You're the boss." Jay said before driving to there destination.
"Why did they have to put it up so high." Jimmy said while trying to get his hands on one of the robes on the top shelves. "Oh, great I guess I got to ask Craig for help." Just as Jimmy was going to ask he heard a voice singing in the shower. He wasn't sure if it was Manny or Hazel but who ever it was her voice was great.
"More than words is all you have to do to make it real. Jimmy went a little closer to the door. "Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me. Cos' I'd already know." Jimmy couldn't believe it someone was singing Ashley and Craig's song but was singing it sort of better. He didn't know who it was but he was determined to find out.
"I'm not feeling too well." Ashley said to Craig while holding her head.
"Are you OK, Ash" Craig asked while feeling on her forehead. "Your burning up and your eye doesn't look well, it looks really sunken."
"I hope it doesn't look like my throat feels." Ashley said while holding her throat.
"We'll I'm taking you home." Craig said before getting both of their coats.
"Here is your clothes freshly cleaned and dry." Marco said while putting Manny and Hazel clothes into their hands.
"Thank God, I didn't know how long I was going have to sit in Jimmy's room in this terry cloth robe." Hazel said.
"Not to mention Terry cloth hasn't been on the runway in years." Paige replied.
"This is all your fault." Hazel responded.
"My fault." Paige said.
"It was an accident." Manny replied while looking around the room. "Where is everyone?"
"Gone they left after Craig and Ash split." Jimmy replied "She wasn't feeling well and everyone else was finished anyway. Emma wanted to stay but I told her that I would call you a cab, I didn't know how long it would take for your clothes to dry."
"Danny left too, he knows we weren't finished." Hazel said. " Well it's not like we needed the practice."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Paige replied.
"Paige." Jimmy said.
"I'm not going to sit here any longer and watch everyone lie to my friend." Paige responded. "It's time she heard the truth.
"Paige, what are you talking about?" Hazel asked.
"Look, Haze your not exactly the best actress around in fact your terrible. Maybe it's nerves or something but your awful even with the hack job J.T. and Liberty did by changing the script to smaller lines for you you're still bad."
"Thanks Paige, I always knew you couldn't handle me in the spotlight being a star. Do you have to lie and embarrass me in front of everyone."
"It's the truth when have I ever lied."
"Do you want me to answer that." Hazel replied.
"Well this time it's the truth."
"Does everyone feel the same way Paige does" Hazel asked as everyone in the room remained silent. "Be honest."
"Don't hate me for this but she's right." Marco answered.
"Yeah, I have to agree with Marco." Manny replied.
"Jimmy, aren't you going to tell me how you feel." Hazel asked.
"You're a bad actress Haze, I'm sorry but you're bad." Jimmy said while trying not to have eye contact with her.
"Great." Hazel said while slowly turning her head so everyone wouldn't see her disappointment. "What am I going to do now."
"Maybe I can help."Jimmy said. "Manny and Hazel which one of you girls was singing in my mom's bathroom?"
