A/N: I back with the 2nd chapter! Hope you enjoy it! Sorry it took so long!
I hobbled along on my crutches. Linay walked beside me. I really didn't like these things. I swear, if they were alive, I would choke them. Seriously.
We finally saw the guys. "You did tell them right?" I asked my best friend.
"Oops."
"Linay! I don't want to have to explain to them!"
"I'm sorry!" She exclaimed. I sighed and told her it was okay. They spotted us, smiled, but then their foreheads creased in extreme worry. Great.
"Lily! What the hell happened?" Wade demanded.
"It's nothing. I tripped and fell, breaking my leg in the process," I said with a shrug.
"That's nothing?" Randy demanded. I raised my hands in defense.
"Hey! BOTH of you guys have broken your fair share of bones," I said.
"But you are my sister!"
"So?"
"My little sister!" He declared. I blinked. Randy rolled his eyes. "Just be more careful, okay?" I nodded. "Good, now let's get home before Mom throws a fit. Remember, she had planned a dinner party for the new people that moved in across the street," He said. Wade groaned.
"I totally forgot about that. Shit," He mumbled. Mom, Linay's Mom, and Wade's mom and all planned that dinner party. We teenagers protested, but they said it would be "Neighborly" and that they wouldn't think "We were stuck up and snobby". Their words, not mine.
We started walking out of the school and towards our houses. We all lived in the same cul-de-sac since we were all in diapers. And, well, we have all became best friends.
We arrived at the cul-de-sac. "I'll see you guys in a couple of hours," Linay said and kissed Wade goodbye. We all parted our ways, except for me and Randy. Well, because, we live in the same house.
"Momma! We're hoooommme!" I called. She entered the foyer and gasped.
"My baby! What happened?" She gushed. I rolled my eyes.
"Mom, I just tripped and broke my leg. Not a big deal," I said. She crossed her arms but just kissed my forehead.
"Alright, now, you two go up and get ready for our dinner party. Oh, and Randy, clean your room for once," She ordered. My older brother huffed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know the gathering would be held in my room," He said. Oh Randy.
"Randal Keith Orton," My Mother said in a threatening tone that could make any child be afraid. He quickly ran upstairs and shut the door. I rolled my eyes and continued up the stairs and hopped into my room. Hmm, what should I wear? I clawed through my closet. I wanted to look nice.
I finally decided on a black dress shirt with a black skirt and some nice ballet flats. I smelled myself and I knew I needed to take a shower.
"Mom!"
"What?" She yelled back.
"Hand me a trash bag! I want to take a shower!"
Half an Hour Later
I finished putting my make-up on. It wasn't much. Just a little black eye shadow and mascara. Oh, and a little lip gloss.
I walked down the stairs the best I could with my crutches. "Mom, how much longer until they're here?" I asked.
"You look great honey! They should be here in 30 minutes," She said. She was dressed in a purple blouse and a floral skirt.
I smiled. "Thanks, I'm going to go in my music room for a while, okay?" I said. She nodded. We had a pretty big house, thanks to my dad, who was out in New York on a business trip. My family has like five extra rooms. One is for my brother and his friends. It was almost like a rec room. Another one was for me. It was my music room. It was sound proof, so I could play my music as loud as I want.
I walked through the door and closed it. The room consisted of my guitar, a drum set, an amplifier and a huge grand piano. I sat on the piano and stretched my fingers over the keys and began to sing a song I knew by heart.
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday
When I caught your eye
And we caught onto something, I hold on to the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me
this thing is breaking down, we almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby, what happened? Please tell me
'Cause one second it was perfect
Now you're halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said, forever and always
Oh, oh
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest
that made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
So here's to everything, coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, oh
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, I don't think so
Oh, oh
Oh, back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?
Back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?
'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Oh, I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, you said forever and always, yeah
I heard clapping from behind me. I didn't turn around right away, because I already knew it was Linay. She had a habit of walking in on me while I was playing. "Hey Linay," I said.
"That was a beautiful, Lils," She said as I got up and went towards her.
"Thanks, the original song is by Taylor Swift, but I just revised it to fit the piano," I said and exited out the door, Linay following me.
"Is the song about," Her voice got lower. "Spencer?"
"What do you think?" I said. Her mouth formed an "O" shape. I walked into the living room. Randy was seated on the couch with his feet up on the table. I rolled my eyes and pushed his feet of the table. "Have you no manners?" I scolded. "You don't see Wade acting like it!" I said and pointed to Wade, who was sitting on the other couch, in a dress shirt and jeans. His legs were crossed neatly.
"Oh, please, I'm pretty sure he does this at his house," Randy said. Wade just grinned.
"Boys," I muttered and sat down on the loveseat. Linay sat across from me, next to Wade of course. Our parents were probably in the kitchen, getting dinner ready. It was pretty silent for the next few minutes.
Knock, Knock
None of us made a move to get the door.
"I'll get it!" My Mother said, flying out of the kitchen and almost slamming into the door. It was pretty comical. She opened the door and smiled.
"Showtime," I muttered as we stood up. Well, I did my best. Wade's and Linay's parents came out of the kitchen and stood next to their respectable child. I heard talking.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Renee Gabriel," I heard a voice. The person had a thick accent. Wait a minute….
"I'm Justin Gabriel," A deeper voice said. Oh! Justin is our new neighbor?
"It's nice to meet you! Come in and make yourselves at home. I'm Elaine Orton," Mom said. She opened the door wider and two people stepped in. I recognized one as Justin. "This is my family and friends. Let's go around the room and say our names!" Oh mom.
I went first. "I'm Lily Orton," I said. Justin smiled and winked at me. My heart fluttered.
"Randy Orton," My brother nodded.
"Wade Barrett," Wade said.
"Linay Juarez," My best friend said.
It was the parents turn. "We're Stacey and Stu Barrett," Wade's Parents said.
"We're Tony and Sabrina Juarez."
"Pleased to meet you all. I'm Terri Gabriel. And this is my son, Justin," Ms. Gabriel said. Justin waved.
"Alright! Introductions are over! I must get back to dinner," Mom said.
"Let me help you," Ms. Gabriel said, and followed my mom into the kitchen. Everyone else's parents went into the kitchen.
It was silent, until I couldn't take it anymore. "So, Justin, nice to see you again," I said. Linay nodded in agreement as Wade and Randy looked confused.
"Justin tried out for the track team. I hear he is also trying out for the football team," Linay explained. Justin smiled.
"Yep. So, Lily, how's the leg?" He asked me. I shrugged.
"Fine considering I broke not even 3 hours ago." I said. He laughed.
It went silent again.
"So, Justin, where are you from? You have an unusual accent. Oh, no offense," Wade said. I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
"It's quite alright. I'm from South Africa. I take it you're from England?" Justin said. Wade nodded.
"Manchester, actually," He said. And it was silent ONCE AGAIN! It's going to be a long night.
Thanks Mom.
