Chapter 12 – The Trial ands Tribulations of a Rehearsal
The next day…
"Dude, um, Marge, um, I don't want my daughter with that Logan, no, Kyle dude anymore." Mark had been stumbling across his lines. He was playing the father of Rebecca's character Mindy. So far, this was not going to well. Cher had gotten the part of her mother, because it was the only non-singing female part (lol, anyone guess why?) and was trying to be the diva of the show.
"Mr. Bender, I can't work with Mark! He's too unprofessional! I want a real actor!" Cher whined again. And this had been for two hours now.
"Guys, take a break! Go run lines in the back! Right now, I want Logan and Rebecca to practice the dance competition scene. Yes, Logan, right now!" Mr. Bender wiped the sweat off of his forehead. Why he had volunteered to take over was beyond him. A lot of these kids were eager and ready to work on whatever, but a few kids were just really no into it and were only here to be with friends, boys friends or girl friends.
Logan and Rebecca were now both on the stage, staring at Mr. Bender. "Rebecca, Logan has been dancing salsa for awhile now, so could you just follow what he does?"
"Uh, sure." Logan took Rebecca in his arms. Logan put his arm around her waist and Rebecca held on to Logan as he led her into the dance. A series of stomps and twirls were put on to Rebecca as she danced with Logan. She seemed to catch on at times, but there were times where she would just slip and fall. She was enjoying the dance.
The steps got harder, but Rebecca kept to it. (Please use your imagination. I don't dance, so I don't know). Then it was coming to the finale, where Logan dipped her low, and rested his head where he could look down her shirt if it was revealing, but luckily enough for Rebecca, she was wearing a t-shirt. Mr. Bender clapped seeing them finish.
"Guys, that was great for the first time. I think you will make a great team. You will definitely bring the audience to applause. They're going to love it!"
"Thanks, Mr. Bender. That is really nice of you." Rebecca moved to the edge of the stage and sat down. "What do you want next?"
"Can I have Scene 16 in part three?" Mr. Bender asked looking through his script. Rebecca got her script from her bag and went back on stage. She flipped to the page and was about to flip out.
"Um, Mr. Bender? Isn't that the scene where Kyle and Mindy kiss?"
"What's the matter Rebecca? Can't make out with the champ anymore?" Logan asked snidely. Rebecca gave him a stare of hate and he shut up.
"You don't need to worry, Rebecca. There will be no kissing until opening night. I promise. Now, for this scene, I want you to really look into each other's eyes. Think romance."
Rebecca looked at her script. "Kyle, this has been the best summer had. It was just so amazing, between the dancing and the competitions. I don't think I could ever live without it. I'm just going to miss you so much after I leave tomorrow. But, we'll see each other again, won't we?"
Logan shook his head. "I really don't know, Mindy. But what I do know is I love you. I still think we have time for one last dance, just for us." Slowly he started to sing the song for that scene:
You're my only one,
No matter what I've done.
You the one for me,
This is what you are to be.
I want to hold you every night,
While we kiss under the stars that shine so bright.
I want you with no matter what
Rebecca:
I know how you feel about our love,
It is powerful enough to bring to the skies above.
I want love you forever and ever.
I just want us to be together,
Forever…
Together:
No matter what, you will always be there.
Together, we are the perfect pair.
With you for me,
And me for you
You are the only one for me.
Logan brought his hand up to Rebecca's head and ran his fingers through her hanging hair. Rebecca closed her eyes and Logan moved his lips close to her's. Their lips were almost touching.
"Okay! That's enough. That was great!" Logan let go of Rebecca and sighed softly. Rebecca went over to the end of the stage. "But I have a few things to say. You guys were really into it, but I want more work on the song. The song is an important part of this romantic scene as a musical. I want passion, romance and most importantly perfection!"
"Yes sir!" Rebecca made a mock salute
"Now, that's enough for today. Get a good night's rest! Also, all of you who are in my media class are exempt from their homework because you are in the play. Dismissed!"
Rebecca slid off the stage and over to where her stuff was in the audience seats. Logan followed after her. Rebecca retrieved her bag from under the seat she left it. Logan stood behind her. "Rebecca?"
"What can I do for you, Logan? I have people to meet in a few minutes and I think your slut, hit-mm, excuse me, girlfriend is waiting for you." Logan looked behind him to see Cher staring intently at Logan and Rebecca.
"I just want to talk." Logan followed Rebecca as she started to leave.
"Really? What about? After all, you didn't want to talk a week ago, especially since we were on door slamming terms then."
Rebecca kept walking at a quick pace, not stopping for Logan, but Logan managed to keep up. "I'm sorry, okay? I was stupid, okay?"
"And finally the champ admits it! Wow! I'm really impressed!" Rebecca stopped and turned to him.
"Rebecca, I'm trying to apologize." Logan put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm really sorry. I don't know what I was thinking when I broke up with you."
"Really?" Rebecca sighed impatiently. "Well, that's shame, huh? You already have another girl friend. Just forget it, okay?"
Rebecca turned to leave, but Logan grabbed her arm, tuning her back around. "But I can't forget it Rebecca. I still like you. A lot."
"Logan…We broke up." Rebecca wiped her eye. "I can't talk to you anymore with out crying, so, please leave me alone."
And Rebecca left out of the auditorium. Logan watched her leave, leaving him speechless. For once in his life, Logan Reese had nothing to say.
Outside the auditorium…
Chase waited outside for his 'girlfriend'. They had been going on with this charade for days now. It wasn't that Chase didn't appreciate all the time he was spending with Rebecca, but there wasn't any love or attraction from Rebecca to Chase. Pretending to be her boyfriend was an interesting, not to get anyone wrong, but it jut wasn't right for him.
"Hey Chase!" It was then, when Rebecca came out of the auditorium. She didn't seem to happy and her eyes were red. She had definitely been crying, but over what, Chase didn't know.
"Hey Beck. Can I ask?" Chase put his are around her shoulders.
"I met up with Logan and I think I'm still not over him just yet." Rebecca sighed. Chase kissed her forehead.
"You'll get over him eventually, Rebecca. He can be hard to forget."
"You got that right, Chase." The rest of the trip to her dorm was pretty quiet except for the sound of the wind blowing against the trees. Chase and Rebecca soon stood outside her room and kissed quickly before Chase left.
Logan's POV
Logan watched from the end of the hall. Chase and Rebecca had kissed in front of the room. Why was Chase all of a sudden with Rebecca? And what ever happened to Zoey? Logan could still remember when Chase would sit up talking with them about how much he liked Zoey. What happened to all those feelings?
After Rebecca closed the door, Chase had started to leave. Logan rushed up behind him, and surprised him. "What do you want, Logan?"
"Man, I know things haven't been too friendly between us since my break – up with Rebecca. But ever happened with you and Zoey?"
"I think that's none of your business, Logan." Chase shook him off. But Logan still went for it.
"Yes it is. I want to know why you are with Becca. What ever happened to your girlfriend, Zoey? Tell me!"
"Logan-"
"Chase, I hate to bring it to this, but I have to be honest. I still am not over her. I love her and miss her like heck."
Now that surprised Chase…
