Hey guys! I actually managed to get one out pretty close to my last update yay! Lol happy Valentine's Day to everyone out there celebrating it, whether you have someone to spend it with or not. Hey, if you want, I'll be your Valentine :P I'm pretty lonely today too, which is actually how I got most of this out. I want to thank R5er for giving me a great idea for this chapter, and I added a few other things too, mainly just for additional drama later on. See you guys on the other side!
Chapter 14
Jeff's POV
We haven't seen much of Sebastian since then, and now that it's the weekend most of the Warblers have decided to go out and have some fun. We decide to go to the mall to shop for some clothes and other things first and then go somewhere else to do something fun. We all go in separate cars and meet up by the entrance. Once everyone is there, we decide to head to the first store. We look around at some of the clothes and some of us split off to go look at some of the other stuff. Nick and I are looking for some clothes for ourselves when Thad rushes up next to us.
"Guys, look at these, wouldn't they be adorable on the girls?" He asks, holding up two matching little outfits for them. I look down at the girls in their carriers and smile.
"They would," I say, Nick nodding in agreement. I take them off of Thad, and put them in a basket. We look around some more before one of the other Warblers comes up to me.
"Jeff, Alex needs your help in the dressing room." He says. I understand immediately. Let me clear something up. Alex is one of the only transgender students in Dalton, currently in the middle of her transition to female. The two of us have a pretty close bond, so when she needs help with something she usually comes to me. I leave Nick with the girls to continue looking for clothes while I go over to the dressing rooms.
"Alex?" I ask.
"In here!" she calls from one of the rooms. "Please, come in." I go into the room she's in once she unlocks the door. "I just sorta need help zipping this up, if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind," I laugh, moving closer to her and pulling the zipper up on the dress she's found to try on. She messes with her hair a bit and looks in the mirror.
"How do I look?" she asks, looking at me.
"Absolutely gorgeous. That dress looks amazing on you." I say sincerely. She smiles wide and hugs me.
"Thanks Jeffy."
"No problem. Are there any others you need help with or are you good?" She gestures to a few others that I help her with and when she decides which ones she's going to get I leave to go reunite with Nick and the babies. We shop around a bit more in a few different stores before everyone suggests mini golfing.
"Jeff and I were actually thinking of splitting and getting something to eat, but we'll meet you guys back at the school. Is that cool with you?" Nick explains.
"Yeah that's fine. Have a nice date," Wes says and laughs as we part ways. Nick and I set the girls up in the car again and drive around looking for a restaurant we haven't eaten at yet. We find a small little café and pull into the parking lot. We take the twins out yet again and go in, getting settled into a table off in the corner. We quickly order some light food when the waitress comes and converse as we wait.
"Is it him?"
"I don't know, I can't see from this angle."
"Dude, I think it is!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I think so."
"Go talk to him!"
"But he's clearly busy!"
"So? We really need someone. Go see if he's even interested."
"But the waitress just brought their food."
"Why don't you want to? We really liked him and it's just one gig, it's not like we're dragging him across the country!"
"But-"
"Rocky! Just go!"
"Fine…"
Just as I'm about to take a bite of my food I hear footsteps approaching. I look up, only to be shocked by who's standing at our table.
"Rocky? What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Um, Jeffy, care to explain who this is?" Nick asks, looking at me.
"Nicky, this is Rocky! From R5, you know, the band I auditioned for?" I explain.
"Whoa really?"
"Yep, that's me. You must be Nick." Rocky says and smiles.
"That would be me."
"And these are our baby girls," I say, gesturing for Rocky to look at them.
"Aw, they're really cute."
"Yeah, so anyways, what are you doing here in a small café in Westerville?" I ask, looking back up at him.
"Well, back when we still had a bassist we may have booked a mall gig here, and now we don't have anyone and it's coming up really soon. You just happened to come in while we were talking about what we were going to do about it and we figured we could ask you. It's close by and Nick and the girls can come if they want too. We just really need someone to play with us or else we'll have to cancel it." Rocky explains, somewhat frantically.
"Well, what songs are you guys going to do? I know just about most of them, but there are still a few I'm not sure of." I say.
"Whatever ones you can do, it would just be amazing if you could even do like one or two." He's starting to sound desperate so I look at Nick, who smiles and nods.
"When and where?" I ask. Rocky looks a bit relieved but still a bit nervous and is a little hesitant when he answers.
"…Tomorrow, the mall a few minutes away."
"Really? We were just there," I say. "And what time tomorrow? I'm free any time, I just sorta… need to know, you know?" I laugh and he gives me the rest of the details. I look at Nick one last time before looking at Rocky again. "I'll do it."
"That is awesome! Thank you so much! I'll see you tomorrow then," he says before walking back to a table where I notice Ratliff, Ross, and Rydel for the first time. Nick and I quickly finish our food and bring the girls back to the school with us. We get settled back in the room again and just pass the time until dinner, where we explain what had happened earlier. Everyone congratulates me and after all the awkwardness and food Nick and I go back up to our dorms where we quickly fall asleep again.
So, what did you think? I feel like this is going to lead to something pretty good.
