Thanks for the reviews guys! I added more to Chapter 8, there was a second part I forgot to add. So if you read it before today(12/13) then there's a little bit more to read :)

Chapter 9

(Craig's POV)

"Hey"

"Hey Sean." Ellie greeted happily, smiling and kissing him.

Sean smiled and pointedly put his arm around her.

"Hey Sean"

"Hey Craig. So what are you guys talking about."

"Oh nothing, Just some local band that's playing a show Friday." Ellie told him.

"She means Downtown Sasquatch. And you have to come."

"Maybe, the last practice I went to didn't sound too great. Do I really want to witness the humiliation?" She said jokingly.

"That was weeks ago and we're better live, with the pressure we do better."

"It was a week ago and I don't know, Me and Sean and probably going to hang out, right?" she said, looking at Sean.

"Definitely." He leaned in and kissed her. I couldn't watch this.

"I'll leave you two alone."

They barely noticed I left but Ellie did mumble a bye.

I went to the cafeteria and sat next too Marco. I guess he noticed I was upset.

"Ellie?"

"Sean."

"Jealous?" I just gave him a duh look "Well he's her boyfriend, what do you expect? Him to be completely hands off?"

"No that's what I'm supposed to be right?"

"Right."

"This sucks!"

"What sucks" Ashley asked putting down her stray and sitting down.

"He's stressing over the gig Friday." Marco responded, And for his quick thinking I was grateful.

"Don't worry I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Yea if Spinner can keep a steady beat through the whole song."

(Ellie's POV)

"Hey guys." I said catching up with Marco, Ash and Craig outside the cafeteria.

"And where have you been." Marco said giving me a serious look. I just rolled my eyes at him.

"No really where were you?" Ash asked.

"I ate outside with Sean and Jay and all them."

"Sounds fun" Craig commented.

"Well, I thought so."

"Come on, the bell's gonna ring, lets go." Marco pointed out.

There's been a weird tension between Sean and Craig. Like that thing Craig just said, he sounded sarcastic and annoyed. They don't say anything bad about each other but they'll make comments like that under their breaths and I don't know why. As far as I know they haven't fought about anything. They aren't really friends anymore but they used to be and so they usually don't mind each other. I guess I'll just ask one of them about it later, Kwan's going to kill me if I'm late.

(Craig's POV) p.s. this is Wednesday, the concert is Friday

"Hey Craig"

"Hey Marco, you're a little early."

"Well I had nothing else to do. Spin and Jimmy are coming at 3:30 right?"

"Yea."

"So what are you working on?"

"Just some lyrics to the new song I've been working on. I think I might want to play it Friday. I know we've only practiced it a few times but I'm almost done with the lyrics. And I really want to play it."

"Is it one of your songs that makes girls fall madly in love with you."

"No, and besides Ellie won't even be there."

"Not unless she suddenly doesn't have plans with Sean, and don't get any ideas."

"I'm not calm down. I can hope she is suddenly not doing anything with Sean, but I'm not going to actually do anything."

That's all I've been doing is hoping. Hoping Sean does something stupid, says something stupid. That they break up and I can be there for her. I know that's horrible. I feel horrible that I want her to get hurt. But I do, I want it so badly. Is there a way for them to break up and her not be hurt? Unfortunately not, that's even worse. She's completely happy and in love with him.

"Craig, man. You ready to practice? You completely zoned out." Jimmy asked. I barely noticed him and Spin walked in. They were set up and ready.

"huh, yea. Let's practice the new one. We might play it Friday."

"Did you finish the lyrics."

"It's not gonna be like last time. I am almost completely done. They'll be done, no worries."

"All right, let's get started then." Spinner insisted.

We practiced the new song and it sounded great! We practiced some old song's ("What I know" and another semi-new one "The Devil In The Moon").

Just as we were playing the last few chords of The Devil In The Moon, Ellie walked into the garage.

"Hey, sorry for interrupting."

"Hey Ellie, no problem we were just finishing. What's up"

"Yea I thought you were at Sean's?" Marco asked.

She rolled her eyes. "I was, but he's in some kind of mood, so I told him I had to go to co-op and finish some stuff up. Which I don't… I went there anyway and they didn't need me to do anything so I came here. Thought I'd catch a little bit of practice."

"Wow, I know, I for one feel special." Spinner said sarcastically.

Ellie just rolled her eyes at him. She sat on the couch and Marco joined her.

"So what's up with Sean."

"I don't know, Craig what's going on with you two? I've noticed some tension and I think that might have something to do with it."

"Nothing, we're fine."

"Yea that's what he said. I don't believe you… either of you."

"Nothing's wrong with us. We're not fighting or anything."

"Maybe Sean's just PMS'ing" Spinner chimed in.

Ellie stared at him blankly for a few seconds then inhaled and looked towards me and Marco.

"Anyway, you guys wanna hang out, since your practice is over?"

"I can't I got a date with Hazel, sorry. I'll see you guys later." Jimmy said and then he left.

"I have to go to I promised my mom I'd be home by 5. So I gotta start walking. I'll see you guys later, El I'll call you tonight. Bye"

"Bye." We said.

"What about you Craig? Have any plans?"

"Nope."

"Cool."

"Neither do I." Spin pointed out sitting on the arm of the couch. "My mom's working an extra shift so no dinner till late. And Paige went to an away game with the squad and won't be back till even later so I'm completely free."

"Joy." Ellie said sarcastically, under her breath.

We hung out for a little while talked. Really me and Ellie talked over Spin's loud drumming. Finally Ellie stood up.

"Ok I need to get out of this garage and Spinner needs to get away form that drum set."

"Normally, I'd be offended, but I'm hungry. Let's go to the dot or something."

"Joey has food in the house." I pointed out.

"Well, I want a burger and fries and unless Joey is making some in the kitchen right now I vote we go to the dot."

"Ok, now I want fries. Come on Craig let's go."

"Ok fine let's go."
