Chapter Seven: How Come They Don't Know?
We parted, and I smiled as Freddy did.
"Now, we're going to go to the police station and file a report." Freddy said as he helped me off of the counter.
"I don't know if I want to do that just yet." I sputtered.
"Wh-what? Katie, this guy almost RAPED you and you're gonna let it slide?" Freddy asked.
"Yes, I am, for now. I have a plan." I said confidently.
"Katie, Andrew is CRAZY, okay? If you go near him he might kill you. I don't want to risk that." Freddy told me, grasping my hands.
"No, I have a plan." I replied.
"What?" Freddy didn't seem so ammused.
"I'll tell you later, for now, let's get dressed and go to band practice." I said, remembering we had practice today.
"Alright, let's go."
We went downstairs and Marta was gone.
"Marta just quit the band!" Summer yelled.
"WHAT?" I yelled back.
"She said she'd rather be BAND MANAGER and make me play KEYBOARDS! You remember when Lawrence showed me how, and I've been taking piano lessons..BUT I'M STILL MAD!" Summer replied.
"Okay, don't worry. Get dressed and we'll go to the School of Rock. We'll figure it out." Zack said.
"Alright." Summer said, linking her arm with mine as we walked upstairs to my room to get dressed.
"What are you wearing today? I mean..what'd you bring to wear?" I asked Summer.
"Well, I brought some ripped-at-the-knee jeans, a broken heart collared t-shirt, Roxy pull-over, and a pair of pink Converse." Summer replied.
"Well, I'm going to wear...acid wash black skinny jeans, Vans red and black checkered slip-on's, red Led Zeppelin t-shirt, black Gibson Hoodie, and some jelly bracelets." I replied. "You can change in my bathroom first."
"Cool, thanks!"
Summer disappeared into my bathroom, and I quickly changed. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and put on white eyeshadow and black eyeliner. Summer reappeared with the outfit she had explained, pink eyeshadow and white eyeliner. (white eyeliner never shows up on my skin..i hate it!) We smiled at each other and walked downstairs to meet the boys..whom were dressed and all ready to go.
"We need to stop by my house to get my guitar." Zack said to us.
"Sure." We all replied and went for the door.
We walked out, and I locked the door behind us. The streets were empty, and cold. Thank God Zack only lived a street over. We walked to Zack's house, he got his guitar in it's case and we went to the School of Rock to have a band meeting. What everyone didn't know is that I was writing a song.
"Okay, since Marta wants to take my position as band manager, I have decided I'll take Lawrence's place as keyboardist." Summer stated.
"Won't that be kind of weird? Summer Hathaway, playing keyboards?" Freddy joked, maybe half serious.
"Guys, we need a keyboardist, and I can do it." Summer replied firmly.
"All in favor for Summer being our keyboardist, say AC/DC!" Zack said.
"AC/DC!" We all yelled, and Summer smiled.
"I won't let you guys down." She said proudly.
Summer went to the keyboard and turned it on. We started to play Zack's new song called "Caught In The Act". It went fast at first, then at the chourus it went slower and slower until it was back to the regular tempo. (The band I'm in is working on a song like that, but reverse...it's really cool.) Summer did really good for her first day.
Pretty soon our practice was over, and we just hung out in the School of Rock. There were couches, desks, everything for the perfect place to just kick it. I pulled out my notebook, and I looked at what I was working with.
Who do you think you are, leaving me stranded
You've gone too far, you're too demanding
How many times, how many chances
Should I let you take me for granted
You believed that love
Is a silly word
Before you break my heart
Let me get a head start
I looked at the paper for a second, and I let my emotions pour out onto the page.
But when you're leaving don't forget to say goodbye
Don't come back to me this time saying you're sorry, that you love me
And when you're leaving don't forget to leave your key
Don't think I can't take care of me
You'll be sorry, you'll be sorry
You had me soul but you went past it
So in control, so demanding
When you were mine, thought it would've lasted
Even though you're fine, don't think I can't manage
I looked down at the page, and then slammed the notebook shut. I'll finish it later.
"Katie, I have a question for you. How come your parents left you alone and they knew damn well that Andrew was out for you?" Freddy asked, taking a seat on the couch next to me.
I couldn't tell him. Could I? Sure I could...but did I have the heart? Of course I did..I hope.
"Freddy, my parents don't know what's going on between Andrew and I. I didn't want to tell them." I replied.
"I understand, but how come you didn't?" Freddy asked.
"I didn't have the heart. I just couldn't. They'd stop their whole lives. I don't want that!" I exclaimed and I started to cry.
"Ssshh, it's okay." Freddy took my into his arms as I cried.
"I-I- think I'm okay now." I said, wiping my eyes.
"Summer! Did you sneak us some scripts?" Zack asked, almost laughing.
"I did actually!"
She reached for her messenger bag and pulled out four scripts. She handed one to each of us.
"Just say that you got them early, I don't want Mr. Elton to know I stole them!" Summer laughed.
I laughed contently at the scene where we all go back into time to The Beatles Era. It seemed so funny. But, I couldn't get the fact that someone was after me out of my head.

"What do you mean she's...dead?" I asked Zack.
"Well, the car slipped off of the road, and she flew head-first into the water, hitting a rock. She died on contact." Zack replied, as we both started crying.
"I think we have a suspect, though. It wasn't an accident." Freddy said, getting up from his chair.
