Chapter 11:
LAST concert
Michael´s POV:
I felt terrible. I had been so mean to Addie that day where we broke up. I knew that it was against her premises to have sex before marriage and I had literally force her into doing that or disappoint her friend who wanted to help her. I knew that Jackson had a crush on Addie – my Addie. I simply couldn´t help getting jealous, when I heard, that she was going to spend more time with him than with me these next two weeks. There was nothing more in the world than I wanted than her happiness and now, she stood in front of the greatest chance Juilliard could give you, a chance to perform in front of talent scouts. How could I not be happy for her? If she got noticed by the talent scouts, maybe she could get a contract with a record company. I knew that was her biggest dream of all – to make her own CD.
It was these thoughts that made me change my mind. I knew I had to go talk to her. I felt empty without her smile and her voice telling me that she loved me. I looked around in the great cafeteria. I noticed Addie sitting all by herself at the table where we used to sit with our friends. I walked over to her. She was looking down at the table playing with her food with her spoon. "Where are the others?" I asked trying to start a conversation with her though I feared that she wouldn´t want to talk to me at all. "Practicing," she answered simply, still not looking up. "I hear you stopped working with Jackson," I tried. My voice was quiet. She looked up. "Why?"I asked. I didn´t want her to give up her dream because of me, even if I had been so stupid. "I love you, you idiot, can´t you see that?" she asked. Her words were spoken in a perfect British accent and she made me feel dumb. What was I supposed to answer to that? "Oh." Now I felt stupid. Was that the best answer you could come up with? I smacked myself on the head mentally. I sighed. "I know that this show means a lot to you and I´m sorry for the things I said. I know you hate that I get jealous but I want you to know that it´s only because I don´t want to lose you," I told her sounding more like the romantic guy in a movie that was very Cliché.
She slowly leaned in and kissed me. "Am I forgiven then?" I asked. "Indeed," she answered and smiled her gorgeous smile. "I really look forward for you to meet my family," she told me and leaned her head against my shoulder. "I´ve already met your cousin," I teased. "You know most people actually have more than one family member," she teased back. "Okay, you win," I told her when I didn´t have any good things to say back at her. "Yes!" she exclaimed and smiled at me. "I always win," she continued before leaning in and sweetly kiss me in the lips.
Addie´s POV:
Everything was arranged so Michael could stay at our place for the summer when we would go back to England again. I hadn´t been there in two years now, I missed it. Compared to New York, London was smaller and much nicer to be in and I really missed that feeling that you actually knew where you were. I still could get lost every time I walked out of the door and into the great adventure it was making my way through the great New York City.
Everything was good again between Michael and me. He couldn´t stop apologizing that he had almost forced me to have sex with him. I tried to tell him a million times that it was okay, that I didn´t think that much of it as I knew that he didn´t mean it. I knew he respected me.
The day of the last concert approached quickly. I became more and more nervous. What if something went wrong? I would take a deep breath every time that thought would appear. I had just gotten off the phone with mom telling me that they were on the way from the airport. I sat down beside Michael again and grabbed his hand. He looked down at me. "Who was that?" he asked. We had been sitting on a bench in front of Juilliard; he had been comforting me as I told him how nervous I actually was. "That was my mom, they will be here in 5 minutes," I replied and smiled at him. He smiled back before leaning down to kiss me. "I love you," I whispered. "And I, you," he replied. I giggled. He wasn´t that romantic, but he tried.
A yellow cab pulled up outside the school. I didn´t react to it as first. This was Juilliard; cabs were arriving all the time. It was when Michael shot up I reacted. "Isn´t that Chris?" he asked. I turned my head in the same direction as Michael. He was right; it was Chris who got out of the car. "Chris!" I called and ran to him. He opened his arms and laughed as he saw me running in his direction. "Addie," he said as I crushed into his muscular chest. "I missed you," he told me and smiled at me as he pulled back. I smiled back at him. Dad placed a hand on my shoulder then. I turned to him and hugged him. "I missed you, princess," he told me and smiled. "I missed you too, daddy," I replied and smiled back at him. I saw Michael walking slowly to us. He looked shocked. He hid it quickly as he approached us and smiled as he introduced himself to my parents. Mom and dad seemed to like him as they quickly started talking. Chris dragged me with him then. "What are you doing?" I asked confused. "I just want to talk to you," he replied and we sat down on the bench that Michael and I had been sitting on earlier. "What is it?" I asked confused as he frowned lightly. "Emma and I broke up," he simply said and looked down. I couldn´t help but be relieved. I had never liked Emma anyway. I regretted the smile that I could not hide. "What is funny about this?" Chris asked a little irritated. "I´m sorry, you know how I feel about her," I told him. "I know," he sighed. Now I felt bad. I was just about to apologize to him when Jamie walked by. "Hi Addie, who do we have here?" she asked and smirked. "This is my brother, Chris," I told her for the first time in a long time introducing him as my brother. "Chris this is Jamie, my friend here from Juilliard," I continued, introducing them. Jamie smiled at him. "Nice to meet you," she told him. "Nice to meet you too," Chris replied. I felt slightly awkward when I saw how they looked at each other. Their eyes were locked to each other and they both had small smile on their lips. "I´ll just go talk to Michael," I told them though, I knew that neither of them heard it. I stood up and walked away. Michael noticed me and looked away immediately.
"Why have you never told me that Chris was your brother? I thought we could tell each other everything," Michael asked when we sat on the rooftop of Juilliard. I took a deep breath. "I´m sorry that I haven´t told you about it. Chris and I normally doesn´t introduce ourselves as twins – it´s not like we´re ashamed of it or anything. We don´t just see each other as twins – he´s my best friend," I told him truthfully. He sighed. "I´m just a little bit disappointed," he told me. I got irritated at that. "Stop that," I started, cutting him off as he was about to open his mouth again. "Why can´t you just realize it already? I love you and I want to be with you forever, it´s you I want to grow old with, if you can´t see that, then you´re a fool," I told him. I hadn´t expected the grin that spread across his face. "Care to dance?" he asked. Maybe he was just changing the subject, but I couldn´t help but be charmed by his smile. "Sure," I told him. He helped me up and we started dancing on the rooftop. I leaned my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes enjoying the moment. We were just about to kiss when we heard Jamie´s giggle and Chris´s laughter coming closer. We pulled away from each other and walked hand in hand down from the roof passing by Chris and Jamie on the way.
Chris´s POV:
"What do you want to do in the future?" I asked when we had been sitting on the rooftop in silence for a moment. "Well, I hope that I can get a contract with a record label so I can continue playing on my guitar. I want to go out and see the world, do you know what I mean?" she told me. I smiled at her. "What about you?" she then asked. I took a deep breath and when I was about to open my mouth, I realized that I had no idea what I wanted. "Well, I´m on a football college in England," I started. "Yeah, but what do you want to do afterwards?" she asked. I think she knew that she was provoking me, but I liked it. "I have no idea," I admitted. She placed a hand on my back. "It´s okay," she told me. I felt stupid. I knew I wanted to go professional at football, but I knew that my chances were small. "Nothing´s impossible, you can do whatever you want," she said. Could she read my mind or what? It was like she was answering an unsaid question. Maybe she was right. I just had to believe in myself. I lifted my head to find hers only a few inches away from me. My eyes automatically fell to her lips, those thin, red lips that I longed to kiss, and she let me. I leaned in and kissed her. There was this tingling feeling going through my entire body as our lips touched.
Suddenly we could hear music from downstairs – the concert had started. I shook it off. I hated classical music. I concentrated on Jamie instead. She was beautiful with her long blond hair which I was running my hands through while kissing her. By now, it wasn´t only a kiss, it was a make-out.
"We should go down, it´s Addie´s turn soon," Jamie said as she pulled back. I groaned. "Nooo," I sounded like a little baby. She giggled and kissed me again. "Ha!" I said and tricked her into making-out with me again. She suddenly pulled back. "She´s playing now," she gasped and dragged me with her down. When we stood in the hall outside the door of the concert hall, I pressed her up against the wall and kissed her again. I didn´t want this moment to end. I felt drunk – if it´s possible to be drunk from kissing too much. She gently pushed me off of her and grabbed my tie dragging me with her inside the concert. I was amazed. On the giant stage was Addie rocking out to her song.
No one is as lucky as us
we're not at the end but
But we already won
No, no, no one
is as lucky as us
is as lucky as us
As I listened to lyrics of the song that she had written, I felt proud. That was my baby sister standing there on the stage living out her dream, just like I was going to do. Jamie had really taught me to dream again...
