"The what?" Stacie laughs.
"You heard me. God, Aubrey makes me crazy!"
Donald speaks up, "So let me get this straight," He says with a smirk, "Our dear little Aubrey decided that an a capella group called The Toners would be a good name because she suspected that you had a musical boner for Jesse last year?"
I glare at him, "Do you need more clarification?"
"I think it's quite amusing," Jesse chimes in.
"So if there's nothing we can do," Amy starts, "then we might as well just start with the set."
We all look wide eyed at Fat Amy.
Jessica says, "Is it just me, or did that sentence have nothing to do with Australia or sex?"
"It was actually kind of smart," Lilly whispers.
"It's nice to know you guys have faith in me," Amy retorts.
"Okay, so I finished our next set for semi-finals, then we go on spring break, so who's ready to practice?"
…..
Night of the Semi- Finals
(I know this may seem that it's moving quickly, because it is. I'm just really looking forward to spring break!)
"It's been a long day
And all I've got to say is make it strong
It's been a long day
And all I've got to say is I've been wrong
So take a leave of absence
Tell me you'll be gone
I don't want to see your face
It's been a long day
And I just want to hide away."
I move toward the back of the stage, and the boys move forward. I watch as Jesse begins to sing the beginning of our next song. I'm not exactly focused, and I know that's not good for our team, so I put on a smile, and continue to sing the music.
Our set ends, and once again, we were the last to perform.
As expected, we came in first, but the Harmonics came in second. My father, Sheila and I are leaving for their house immediately, and Jesse's leaving for his in Pennsylvania.
"Hold on, I'll be right back," I inform my dad.
I start toward my boyfriend who was currently on his phone. As I got closer, he smiled at me and quickly said, "Yeah, I got to go, Mom. Yeah, I'll ask her. You too. Bye. Hey, Bec!"
"Hey, Jesse," I say wrapping my arms around his torso.
"You did great."
"We all did, Jesse. We're a group."
"Yes, we are."
"Okay, what do you need to ask me?"
He smiles down at me, and I return it.
"You heard me?" He asks and I nod my head 'yes.'
"Okay. So, would you like to spend spring break with my family? I mean, my parents really want to meet you and so do Nate and Shannon. My friends want to know if you actually exist. I mean, nice friends, right? So much hope in me. And you don't have to, but I really would li-"
I smile ear to ear and kiss him, shutting him up.
"I would love to spend spring break with your family."
