Chapter 25 There's Only One Way To Rock
"You need any help?" Jenny walked into Craig's room. He was strumming the infamous guitar and singing random notes.
"What's make you say that?" Craig asked.
"Well you look kinda like you need some help." Jenny stared at a blank sheet of paper Craig was using to write lyrics for his song.
"Thanks, but I have it all under control." Craig went back to strumming his guitar.
"OK." Jenny replied. She sat on a piano bench in the corner of the room and pulled the bench up to the piano.
"You play," Craig asked.
"Yeah, I dabble a little from time to time." Jenny started playing a song and singing.
"That was amazing." Craig said after Jenny had finished her song.
"Thanks, I wrote it myself when I was you're age."
"You make it seem like I'm so young."
"That's because you are." Jenny got up from piano bench and walked towards Craig. "But you're cute." She pinched him on the cheeks.
"Thanks," Craig laughed. "You know, I think I am going to take you up on you're offer to help me."
"I thought you'll never ask," Jenny walked back to the piano and sat on the bench. She placed her fingers on the black and white keys. "So where do you wanna start?"
"I'm really going to hate it when we have to leave." Hazel said while sitting on the patio with Jimmy and Paige.
"We'll see each other when school starts." Jimmy replied.
"But it just won't be the same."
"What's the difference." Paige replied "You two sit in Jimmy's apartment on his couch instead of on the patio. Seriously guys, you two are so boring go to the park or the beach or something."
"That's going to be pretty hard since most wheel chairs aren't equipped to roll over sand." Jimmy sourly replied.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that" Paige apologized.
"Paige if you're so bored why don't you go out and do something." Hazel replied.
"Like what," Paige exclaimed. "There isn't much to do around her without driving and I can't swim because of this." Paige hit her leg cast.
"Maybe you can go out and explore like you've been doing." Jimmy suggested.
"No, I'm sick of that and Jimmy I think you really need to find the key to the pool house, I know somethings in there."
"We'll, Jenny says she can't find her spare keys. I'm thinking she's hiding something in there besides Jefferson maybe one day I'll get one of you guys to go into the doggie door."
"What," Hazel exclaimed.
"I'm just kidding." Jimmy laughed. "But seriously there's nothing in there but left over equipment from the remodeling the main house. Jenny says that the whole place smells like wet paint and varnish."
"Eww," Paige replied. "Well, I still think you should check the place out." Paige glanced at the pool house.
"Looks like Emma's going out again." Hazel replied while watching J pull up to the front door. "Hey here's an idea why don't you go out with Emma," Hazel asked Paige. "She says J friend Lenny could really use some company I know you with Mr. I mean Matt but you could out with him just as frineds.
"I would rather watch the wet paint and varnish in the pool house dry." Paige answered while watching J open up his car door for Emma and then for Manny in the back before pulling off. "We'll, they're gone now."
"You had you're chance." Hazel replied to Paige before turning her attention to Jimmy. "Hey, why don't we watch the sun set."
"Oh you guys are so boring." Paige sighed before getting up out of her seat on the patio. She noticed Sean was walking to the driveway and pulling out the vans car keys to go for a drive. "I'm going to see what Sean is up too. I can't believe I'm that desperate." Paige walked towards the driveway.
"Is she gone yet," Jimmy asked Hazel after Paige left.
"Yeah," Hazel glanced at Paige talking to Sean."She's talking to him. I think she's going to go with him." Hazel smiled.
"Good," Jimmy said before kissing Hazel. "Alone at last."
"Hey Sean, where are you going," Paige asked running as fast as she could with her cast on towards Sean before he got into the van.
"Out," Sean answered he flipped through the car keys until he found the right one to open up the drivers door with.
"We'll I was wondering," Paige followed Sean and stopped him before he could get inside the van. "If maybe I could go with you?"
Sean stared at Paige who had a desperate puppy dog expression on her face. "No, way."
"Oh, c'mon Sean, this isn't even your van and if you like I could give you the keys to Dylan's car it's a heck of a lot more nicer not to mention easier to drive"
Sean stared at Paige before putting the car keys into his pocket. "Fine. Just don't get in my way and ask me to drive you to the mall or something I have somewhere I have to be." Sean walked towards Dylan's car with Paige .
"Umm,OK, I didn't know you knew anyone around here."
"I don't."
"Oh." Paige walked to the passenger side of Dylan's car. Sean stared at her. "What?" Paige asked.
"The key's," Sean replied.
"Oh. Yeah. Right." Paige dug into her purse and tossed the keys to Sean. He opened up his door and the passenger side for Paige.
"So where is it were going again," Paige asked while Sean turned the keys into the ignition and pulled off.
"Out."
"I told you It's useless," Craig exclaimed. "I'm never going to finish this song in time."
"You just need some fresh air and a new space." Jenny got up from the piano and opened up the windows. "Can you give me a hand." She started moving furniture around in the room. "We need to Feng Shui everything." Jenny moved photos and plants to one corner in the room. She looked at Craig who was still sitting on a treble shaped couch. "We'll don't just sit there help me."
"I don't think moving furniture to one side of the room is going to help me." Craig laughed. "I made some of my best songs sitting on a couch in my stepfather's garage and it was no where near Feng Shui."
"OK, so how did you create the music? What was you're muse?"
"Muse?"
"Yeah you know you're inspiration to you're artistic creativity."
"I know what amuse is, I just never thought I had one, my music just came to me when I least expected it."
"That's it," Jenny exclaimed. "I'll be right back." Jenny ran out of the room and then ran back with her purse and put on large wide pink sunglasses. "Come with me."
"Where are we going?" Craig asked.
"It's a surprise." Jenny grabbed him. "And don't forget the guitar."
