Chapter Five - All The Right Moves

Sawyer and Lydia walked around the school courtyard stapling flyers to the many bulletin boards covered in already colourful paper. "How stoked are you that my mom got One Republic to play at Tric?" Sawyer asked as the girls now handed the flyers to random students.

"It's great, I just, I don't know if I can make it." Sawyer stopped dead in her tracks.

"What do you mean you don't know if you can make it?"

"I was thinking of going to the shelter that night. I'm kind of trying to steer clear of the party scene for a bit."

"But, but One Republic." Sawyer dramatically pointed to her flyers.

"I know, they're amazing, we saw them last year in Raleigh, remember?"

"Oh yeah, we used our fake id's to get in and then had to wander around town for an hour before we found the bus stop, that was a good night. But still, you're going to leave me all by myself?"

"You're not going to be by yourself. Davis, Jude and Alex will be there, and I'm sure Jenny will show up with Johnny."

"Are you encouraging me?" Sawyer asked with a smile on her lips.

"Of course not, but I don't want you to stay home just because of me."

"Fine, I'll go to the concert, but I'm not going to enjoy it."

"I doubt that very much." Lydia shook her head, linked arms with Sawyer and the two made their way to class.

Alex blew the whistle and Davis collapsed to his knees. Davis had taken to practicing at lunch as well as after school, he really wanted to be captain and hard work was the only way he was going to achieve that. Alex passed him a water bottle as he took a seat on the bleachers. "You're doing really good man, pretty soon you'll beat the scoring records." Davis laughed.

"I'm flattered man, but even I know I'll never be as good as Nathan Scott."

"No one ever will. Hey are you going to this concert tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm supposed to meet up with Casey. She said she misses me, whatever that means."

"Are you guys ever going to make it official?"

"I doubt it. She's not really a well liked person among our friends."

"Well yeah, but you like her don't you?"

"Yeah, just not as much as I like my friends."

"Johnny, wait up!" Jenny jogged down the hall catching up with her boyfriend.

"Hey babe." He said, placing a small kiss on her forehead.

"Are we going to this concert tonight? I thought it could be fun, I feel like we haven't spent time together in a while, I miss my boyfriend."

"Sure babe, we can go to the concert, but I've got to help my mom out with something after school, so can I just meet you there?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Okay good, I got to get to class, one more late and I'll have a detention." The warning bell ran and he quickly jogged off. Part of Jenny felt relieved, he still wanted to do things with her, he must still like her. She ran through their conversation again in her head and couldn't help but notice something. He never said he missed her back.

Tric was packed, wall to wall with Tree Hill High students. Davis Baker walked in with his chin high, knowing well that he was being checked out by multiple females. He walked up to the bar and ordered a coke, checked out a couple of girls and then scanned the room for the curly red hair. He spotted her at a table full of girls from the squad. He made his way over there, and placed his hand on her lower back. "Well, well, if it isn't Davis Baker." She said eyeing him up and down.

"The one and only." He said smirking. "Feel like dancing?" She nodded and he led them to the middle of the room. The two swayed to the music before Casey slipped her hand around the back of his neck, and brought his lips down to meet hers. They were friends, and she knew that. He would never date her, but something inside of her at least wanted him to ask, pretend that he really cared about her. Davis knew he wasn't in love, he wasn't even really in like, sure he enjoyed making out with the girl and having her by his side at parties, but he didn't think about her when she wasn't there.

Sawyer sat at the bar, a huge smile on her face as she watched One Republic play like they were born to. Music had always been an important part of her life; she grew up listening to her mom's bands, but lived for falling in love with her own. "You look happy." Sawyer turned to face him as he sat down on the stool next to her.

"I love this band."

"Yeah, they're really good. You look really good tonight too."

"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself." Johnny watched her as she swayed her head to the music, and sipped her drink slowly. He had been thinking about her a lot lately. He felt bad, he had been dating Jenny for a long time now, but he wasn't in love. When you're in love you should know it, he liked Jenny but he found Sawyer was on his mind more than she was. He should just tell her, but he didn't want to hurt her, believe it or not he cared. His heart just wasn't in it anymore and he was tired of pretending.

"Do you want step outside, get some air?" Sawyer debated her answer for a moment before slowly nodding. He led them out the back door into the dark alley. "I wasn't kidding when I said you looked amazing tonight." He said, taking a step closer.

"I wasn't kidding either." The air was cold and Sawyer could feel the goose bumps forming on her arms and legs.

"Good." He placed his hand on her hip and pulled her in. He looked into her eyes, trying to figure out what was going through her head. How was she going to react, he knew she had a thing for him, everyone did, but still. Without waiting another moment to think about it, he placed his hands on either side of her face and kissed her. It took her a moment to react, but soon she began kissing back. He pushed her up against the cold wall and brought his hands down to her sides; she ran her hands through his hair and pushed her hips into his. Needing air, they briefly parted. "I've wanted to do that for a while now."

"Yeah, me too."

Lydia sat on the cement floor with a small beagle in her arms. For as long as she could remember she had loved animals, except spiders, she was not a fan of those. She put the small dog back in his cage and picked up an even smaller baby retriever. She had named him Jack, he was her favourite, she would never admit that she had a favourite but she knew. He was quite dirty from playing outside earlier in the day, so she decided to give him a bath. She tied an apron around her waist and began running the water. Things has been better since her talk with Jamie, she was trying to focus on the good things in life and not on the boy. Jude used to be a good thing, he used to be the best thing, but lately all he was doing was making her crazy and he didn't even know it.

Jack barked, and Lydia scooped him off the ground and placed him in the bath. He immediately tried to jump out, soaking her in the process; she laughed affectionately and wiped him down with a damp cloth. She wasn't upset that she was missing the concert tonight; she was happy where she was, in the company of someone who loved her as much as she loved him.

Jude and Alex sat in a corner booth, drinking and watching the band, when Jenny Jagielski walked up to their table. "Hey guys."

"Hey." They said in union.

"Have you guys seen Johnny? I was supposed to meet him here, but I can't find him anywhere."

"No, sorry," said Alex "but he should show up eventually, come and have a drink with us while you wait." Jenny glanced around the room once more before sliding into the booth.

"The bands great." She said, trying to make conversation.

"Yeah, they're amazing live."

"So, Jude, how have you been?"

"I've been good, practice is good, school is good, my dad bought me some new movies to add to my horror collection." Jenny nodded.

"That's nice." She said, somewhat skeptically.

"What?" He asked.

"You just, you seem sad or board, kind of like you're missing something." Jude took in her words and processed them.

"You know what, you're right." Jude stood up and grabbed his coat. "I'll see you guys later." Jenny and Alex watched him go.

"What was that about?" Jenny asked.

"I guess he's going to find his other half." She gave him a confused look. "Lydia, she's working at the animal shelter tonight."

"I didn't know she volunteered there." Alex nodded.

"All the time."

"What about you, do you have a job?"

"No, most of my time is taken up by managing the team. I have to schedule games, record stats, right now I'm in the middle of ordering the team new uniforms."

"Wow, you're quite the busy guy."

"Yeah, actually now that I think about it, I should probably be doing that right now." Alex stood and slipped on his jacket.

"You're leaving?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah, I'm not really one for the club scene."

"Would you mind walking me home?"

"You're not going to stay and wait for Johnny?" She shook her head.

"No, I'll just call him later."

"Okay, then let's get out of here."

He watched her as she swung her bag on her shoulder, pulled out a key and locked the door. She turned and saw him, a confused look spreading across her face. "What are you doing here?"

"I missed you at the club tonight."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean it's weird not having you at those kinds of things." Lydia smiled.

"You came all the way down here to tell me that."

"Yeah, and I thought you could use a ride a home." Held up his keys and smiled, raising his eye brows in questioning.

"That would be great. Thanks Jude."
