Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was out of town and had not time to update a chapter while in our hotel room. Anyways, I hope you guys like this chapter.
Shout out to daddy'sgirl11 for helping me come up with the nicknames in this chapter between Jack and Erin.
Previously on The Great Escape:
Erin's POV:
I walk into the dojo, still shocked over what happened yesterday between me and Jack, it has been a day since the kiss, but it has been driving me insane.
I warm up by kicking a practice dummy with music blaring through the speakers of my IPod.
I finish warming up when Kim, Jerry, Milton, and Jack came in the door.
"Hey Erin." They said.
"Hey guys." I say as I reach for my water bottle.
"Where's Rudy?" Kim asks while looking around.
"He's in his office doing some paperwork." I say.
"Ok, wanna take a break and grab some lunch with us?" Jerry asked.
"I would love to." I say as I walk to my uncle's office to let him know where I was going.
We walked to the Café we went to yesterday and ordered some food, and talked, laughed, and joked around, we even had someone take a picture of us so I could post it on Twitter and Instagram.
We walked back to the dojo and I pulled Jack to the side to talk to him.
"Hey, what was that kiss about last night?" I ask.
"It was just for the bet." Jack replies with a smirk.
"Yeah, ok." I reply rolling my eyes.
Jack just grabbed my wrist and kissed me again like he did last night.
"Wanna go out sometime?" He asks.
"Sure." I say with a smile as a blush creepped upon my face.
"Erin? Is that you?" I hear from behind me.
I turn around slowly to find 2 people who I knew so well.
"Austin?! Ally?!" I exclaim.
"Surprise!"
Chapter 4: What Are You Doing Here?
Erin's POV:
"OMG! What are you guys doing here?" I ask as I run to go hug Ally.
"Austin has a concert here as part of his tour, so we came to see you." Ally answered.
"I can believe you guys are here!" I say as I hugged Austin and he spun me around while I giggled.
"Austin, Ally. This is Kim, Milton, Jerry and Jack. We all take Karate here together." I say and everyone waves.
"Guys, this is Austin and Ally, my best friends from Miami, I have know them my entire life." I say I smile.
"Erin, we got you something, to say sorry for showing up unexpectedly." Ally said as Austin handed me a small box.
It was a key chain that said "Believe" on it with a golden microphone.
"Thanks guys, it is very pretty." I say as I put it in my purse.
"Well, we are glad you like it, because we have another big surprise." Austin said.
"What is it?" I asked excitedly.
"You are going to open up for Austin tonight!" Ally said happily.
"What?!" I answered nervously.
"You're going to open up for me tonight." Austin repeated, just as happy as Ally.
"I can't do this; I haven't performed on stage since Emmylou got diagnosed, besides Karaoke." I say, fear growing stronger.
"Come on Er, you can do this. We believe in you." Kim said, trying to help.
"Yeah, come on Erin, we'll be there with you." Milton and Jerry say.
"Erin, you can do this, what do you have to lose?" Ally asks.
"Everything, I have everything to lose." I say and run out the door.
Jack's POV (About time right?):
After Erin ran out the door, everyone was confused about what she meant by saying she has "everything to lose".
"I'll go get her." I say and run out the door after Erin.
I look everywhere, when I realize the place she went was the dance studio, sure enough when
I get there; she is in the middle of the room dancing.
"Erin, are you okay?" I ask as I walk over to her.
"No, I terrified. I can't sing at a concert. It has been 3 weeks since I have done that." She says facing me, and I see that she has been crying.
My heart broke when I saw her looking like that.
"What did you mean when you said 'I have everything to lose'?" I ask her.
"I have a lot to lose, my singing career, my friends, you, everything." She answers, starting to cry again.
I walk over to her and give her a hug, just letting her cry, when she finished I just kept my arm around her waist.
"You want to go back now?" I ask softly.
"I can't do this Jack, I know I can't." She says.
"You can. I know you can. Now come along diva." I say, using the nickname I gave her to calm her down or tease her.
"You're right, I can do this." She says with a smile.
I smile back, as we walk back to the dojo hand in hand.
Erin's POV:
When we get back to the dojo, everyone's eyes are on me.
"When's the concert?" I ask.
"Tomorrow night." Ally answered.
"Ok, I'll do it, but only if Kim can sing with me." I say.
"Of course." Austin said with a smile.
I return the smile, and in the corner of my eye I see Jack frown, like something upset him, I walk over to him.
"What's up Grease? You look sad." I ask, using his nicknames I gave him to tease or help him calm down, hoping it will cheer him up.
"Are you and Austin dating? Because if so, I'll stay out of your way." Jack said.
"What? We're not dating Jack." I say.
"Wait, what? Then why do you guys act like you are a couple?" He asks.
"Jack, I've known Austin my whole life, he is like a brother to me, my best friend. I only like you." I say with a smile.
"That's sweet, I like you too." He says.
I smile and walk back over with Jack.
"So, what song are you singing tomorrow?" Austin asks.
"Um, I don't know yet, Kim and I will probably go over to my house and pick one so we can practice." I say.
"Ok, well, we'll see you tomorrow." Austin and Ally said together.
"Ok, bye." I say.
Skip a day*
Erin's POV:
I was in the dojo practicing with Kim before the concert while Milton and Jerry act like the audience, when Jack walks in.
"Sorry I'm late, I'm sorry." Jack says.
"It's ok, we were just practicing anyway." Kim said.
"Cool, what song are you doing anyway?" Jack asks.
"It's a surprise." I say.
"But, they know." Jack says pointing to Jerry and Milton.
"Actually, they don't, they are wearing earplugs, and they can't hear the song, so it's a surprise." I say, trying not to laugh.
"Hey guys." Austin and Ally said as they walked through the door.
"Hey." Kim and I reply.
"Whatcha doing?" Ally asked.
"Practicing our song." Kim says, but she looks like she is trying to keep from laughing.
"What?" I ask Kim, but right after I ask that I feel someone pick me up from behind and spin me around, I knew it was Jack, trying to get me to sing some of the song for tonight.
"Jack, quit it!" I screamed as he kept spinning me around.
"Okay." He says as he puts me down and walks back over to his seat.
"Will you please sing a little of your song now?" He asks.
"No, it's a surprise." I say.
"Please Angel?" Jack begs me, and he just has to use the nickname he gave me.
"No Darling, it's a secret." I say.
Everyone knew that Jack and I were dating, although we haven't been on our first date, except for Austin and Ally, who were very confused.
"Why are you guys calling each other that?" Ally asked.
"Because, we are dating." I say while holding Jack's hand and smiling.
"What?!" Austin asked, while jumping up out of his seat.
"We are dating, he asked me out yesterday, we were going to go out on our date tonight, but I have the concert to perform at." I said.
"You hurt her, or break her heart, you're dead." Austin says to Jack with anger in his eyes.
"I would never hurt her." Jack says, with his arm around me.
Skip to concert*
Erin's POV:
I hold the microphone in my hand nervously, as the music began to play to the song Kim and I rehearsed.
Ohh yeah yeah
The situations turns around enough to figure out
That someone else has let you down
so many times I don't know why
But I know we can make it as long as you say it
So tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
And maybe if you take one more than I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway
Tell me that you love me anyway
Ohhh
Waking up beside yourself and what you feel inside
Is being shared with someone else
Nowhere to hide I don't know why
But I know we can make it
As long as you say it
So tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
And maybe if you take one more then I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway
Show me look what we found turn it around every day
I can hear what you say
Now I know why know we can make it
If you tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
And maybe if you take one more
So tell me that you love me yeah
And tell me that I take your breath away
Maybe if you take one more then I would know for sure
There's nothing left to say
Tell me that you love me anyway
The song ends and everyone claps as Kim and I step off the stage and Austin steps on stage.
"That was beautiful Angel." Jack says giving me a hug.
"Thank you Darling." I say.
"You still up for that date?" He asks.
"Of course, let's go." I say, as we walk to the Café, Jack's arm on my shoulders, and my arm around his waist, as I text my friends, and my Uncle where I am going.
The last thing I see before we turn the corner is Austin's angry face.
I hope you guys liked this chapter, I honestly really liked it. 1. Grease and Diva are nicknames Jack and Erin use to tease each other.
2. Darling and Angel are Jack and Erin's couple nicknames.
3. Jack and Erin's date will be in the next chapter, and the school dance, will be in the chapter after that.
I love ya'll! Keep Kickin' It! 3 3 3
