Chapter 6: Like Pancakes
"Now performing their hit song "Just a Girl I Know" is the cast from the Naked Brothers Band." Carol announced. After they performed, the group headed outside to a limo. Allie sat a little spaced from the boys so she could secretly text Kristina.
Allie: Hey girlie, you'll never guess where I am? Okay, I'll tell you. I met up with the bestest boys in the world. Yes, I'm talking about our boys. Were going out to breakfast right now. Text ya with updates from the boysss.
"Allie, stop texting Kristina and talk to us." Qaasim called from the opposite side of the limo.
"How do you know I'm texting her?" Allie snapped.
"Pshhh, you guys are never separated." David said.
"Uh-huh, we are right now." Allie stuck her tongue out.
"Ummm, hate to say it but, you're talking to her." Nat pointed to Rosalina's vibrating iPhone.
Kristina: Tell them hey for me and I'll see them tomorrow. Now stop talking to me and spend some time with your boys.
Allie closed the message and looked down to avoid eye contact. "Kristina says hey."
"Haha, you got served like pancakes!" Alex yelled with the boys joining in.
"I really have not missed those dumb comments." Allie muttered, moving down to the boy's end of the limo.
"Sure you don't. So, how is everyone taking the news?" Thomas asked, sighing at the end.
"Ehh, it's kinda hard. You know?" Cooper said. The rest of the guys agreed, nodding their heads.
"Allie, you holding up okay?" Qaasim asked, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Oh, uhhh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Allie asked. "Look we're here."
The boys looked out the windows and started to pile out. When Allie tried to get out, Nat grabbed her hand and pulled her back in. "You're so not okay."
"Would you let me go? I swear I'm fine." Allie said, turning her head to hide the tears.
"Oh yeah, if you were fine, would you be crying?" Nat quietly asked.
"I guess not." Allie sobbed quietly. Nat pulled her into a hug and she cried into his shoulder for a good two minutes.
"Pull yourself together and let's eat. I'm freaking starving." Nat grinned, wiping away Allie's tears with his thumb.
"Thanks Nat, for always being there for me." Allie whispered before they left the limo. He nodded his head, probably because the guys were staring at them.
"Break up the love fest before you two enter this restaurant." Thomas called from the front door.
"Shut up Thomas!" Allie and Nat yelled at him, emerging from the limo.
