Hello everybody! How are you all doing today? Sorry about yesterday's chapter. I read over it and saw all my mistakes :/ But I may edit the chapter soon so no worries! The reviews have been answered by me last night on my 3DS XD I didn't want to let you guys down (plus I have insomnia so I couldn't sleep)! I hope you like this next chapter. It's mostly dialogue but it's leading up to the next chapter. I have a good idea for Chapter 8 that I hope you all will like.
Okay, enough babbling from me! Enjoy this crazy fluff called Chapter 7!
Chapter 7: The Words Not Said
I uploaded the Hide and Seek video and got some reviews, most asking about how I got to record with Jordan and Jason. I answered a few before I started to become hungry. I got up and got my phone, turning on some music. The first song that came on was called In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. I hummed along as I got some chips and cheese for my dinner - crappy dinner, I know - and sat on my couch. I pulled my laptop into my lap as Jayson curled up beside me.
Hmm...what shall I do now.. I wondered, looking at the computer screen and grabbing some chips to eat. I've already done all my recording for the day and I don't feel like Skyping Autumn or Travis. Then I remembered a conversation that Jason had had with me before we recorded Hide and Seek. He had given me his number and Skype, telling me it would be good for recording.
I grabbed my phone as the song changed to 42 by Coldplay. I hummed along while typing in Jason's number and sending the number a text.
Hey, it's Kate.
The answer came 2 minutes later when it got to my favorite part in 42.
Thank God someone texted me. Adam and Ty won't shut up! They're singing in here!
I laughed and replied with That sounds like my family.
We both texted back and forth and I didn't even hear the knock on the door until the door slammed open. I jumped and looked up to see Jordan. I turned off my music as my phone buzzed.
"Oh my God, Kate. You need to answer your door once in a while." Jordan laughed, running a hand through his hair.
"You need to be patient once and a while." I shot back.
He rolled his eyes. "I was patient for 10 minutes! That's all I can handle!"
I laughed and looked at my phone, reading Jason's text.
Say, do you know if you could record some time tomorrow? I'm staying with Adam in Washington for a while and it's gonna be boring because him and Dawn are going out on a date all of tomorrow.
I replied with, Yeah, sure. I've been needing to get a new series up so why not just have a beginning episode with MinecraftUniverse? I could almost see Jason laughing at the comment.
I heard a cough and looked up at Jordan, who had his brows raised and was half smirking. "Getting into the techno-life, now are we, Kate?"
"Oh, sorry," I looked at my phone quickly to see if Jason had replied. Seeing there was just a blank screen, I continued. "I was just texting Jason."
Something flashed over Jordan's face but was gone in a second. Resisting the action of tilting my head in confusion, I looked at Jordan with furrowed brows.
"Oh, well, Nick and I were planning on doing some more recording if you want to join." He offered.
I sighed lazily as I got a text from Jason. "Nah, I'm done with recording for now."
"Okay. I'll be recording if you need me. Bye." Jordan got his sentences out quickly, words almost jumping over one another as he stumbled out.
I looked down at my phone as the screen lit up and read the next text.
Alright! It's a date!
**Jordan's POV**
Why don't I text her? Ugh! I should talk to her more! My mind flung around like a rubber band as I walked back into my apartment. The previous conversation with Kate was still fresh in my mind. Why do I even care though? It's not like I like her...oh to hell with that! Of course I like her! I was thinking so hard I didn't even notice Nick walk up to me until he spoke.
"Hey, you okay?" Nick asked, seeing my expression.
"Yeah, just some girl troubles." I sighed, going to my recording studio.
"Oh, what? About Kate?" Nick asked with a sly smirk.
"Yeah. She's been texting Jason and..I think I'm jealous." I muttered the last part.
I heard Nick laugh. "Dude, then push down the feeling make get her before Jason can. I doubt he likes her though. He knows that you are head over heels for that girl."
My face grew heated. "I am not!"
"Are too!" Nick laughed. "I mean, the way you look into her eyes? That is love!"
I sighed in frustration. "Dude, we're sounding like a bunch of high school girls foaming over some celebrity."
"Yeah, good point. Let's get to recording." Nick smiled and sat on the other side of the room, ready to record.
**Kate's POV**
((SKIP TO THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE SHIT DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR THE REST OF THAT DAY))
I woke up to a song playing in my ear. Confused, I glanced around to find that I was on my couch. I saw my phone and turned it on, seeing that it just started playing Gravity by Coldplay. I gazed at the lock screen in half amusement as I saw I got 4 texts from Jason and 2 from Jordan.
Jason's texts:
Morning!
Kate?
Kate! Wake up!
Ugh. I'll let you sleep. Text back when you can!
Jordan's texts:
Hey, can you record today?
Hey, I need to talk to you..it's urgent.
I glanced at the texts and decided to first answer Jordan.
Sorry, I was asleep. I'm recording with Jason today. Maybe tomorrow we could play some adventure map? Anyway, before I get to rambling, what do you need to talk about?
I then went to Jason's Texts.
I'm back. Call me. I don't like texting back and forth that much. Especially when I am not completely awake.
I silently listened to Gravity, humming the sad tune. ((If you want to hear it, just search up Gravity by Coldplay. It's a good song)) My mind flew over the lyrics, taking them in. Baby, when your wheels stop turning. And you feel let down. And seems like troubles have come all around. I can hear your heart beating, I can hear that sound. But I can't help thinking, I won't look now. I hummed until the tune stopped as I got a call from Jason. I answered.
"Hey." I said, putting him on speaker as Jordan texted.
"Hi. You up for recording?" Jason asked.
Okay, meet me at my apartment. Jordan's text read.
"Sure. Just not right this second. Jordan wants to talk to me. He says it's urgent." I told Jason.
"Okay." Jason said.
We talked for a minute before I decided to go see what Jordan wanted. I hung up and went to Jordan's apartment, opening the door.
"Jordan?" I called.
At my voice Jordan walked out of his recording studio, smiling at me.
"Hey! Kate!" He greeted. "Um, so, yeah..about the important thing..I was gonna ask if-"
My phone started to ring and Jordan looked defeated. I looked down to see Autumn calling. I glanced at Jordan with a sorry look. "Sorry, it's Autumn..."
"Go ahead." Jordan shot me a reassuring smile that didn't make me feel much better.
I answered. I couldn't even muster out 'hi' before Autumn was screaming in my ear, "OH MY GOD KATE GUESS WHAT!"
I jolted away from the phone, rubbing my ear. "What?" I asked.
"I GOT 5 TICKETS TO A LAKE HOUSE!" She screamed at me, smile obvious in her tone.
"Seriously? Who are you going to take?" I asked her.
"Well, first of all, David." Of course she's gonna bring her boyfriend. "And Travis. So that makes three...what about you? And you can bring a guest!"
"Oh, cool. When and where?" I asked her.
"It's near Dallas and it's on July 7th." It was July 4th..good timing, I guess.
"Cool! I guess I'm going back to home to Texas! How long?" I asked, smiling.
"2 weeks!" Autumn said excitedly.
My grin grew, me not noticing Jordan's fallen face. "Alright! Perfect! Who should I bring with me?"
"What about Jordan?" Autumn asked.
A stone turned in my stomach. "U-um...I don't know...he's never been to-"
"Who cares if he's never been to Texas! It's about time he comes here!" Autumn said loudly.
"Uh, okay. I will ask him later, maybe." I said my goodbyes then hung up.
"So, what was that?" Jordan asked, leaning against the wall. "I heard something about Texas..." His face fell. "Are you moving back or something..?"
"Oh, God, no! Autumn got 5 tickets to a lake house in Dallas and she wants me to come and to choose the 5th person." I explained to him.
"Oh, cool. Who are you thinking of bringing?" He asked me, biting his lip.
"Well, Autumn suggested I bring you." That same stone flipped in my stomach. A lake house. It had to be a lake house. I thought. "So...do you want to go?"
"Sure. When is it?"
"July 7th. It's 2 weeks so it goes until the 21st, I'd think." I told him.
"Okay. I think I heard something about Nick leaving tomorrow so that would be fine. I'd have to do a vlog about leaving, though." He said.
"Yeah, me too." I said. "I'm gonna have to bring Jayson. He can't stay home for two weeks alone." I explained.
Jordan nodded. "Well, I'd better get packing..." He trailed off, eyes falling to the floor.
I tilted my head. "So, what were you going to tell me earlier?"
Jordan looked up at me, shock forming in his features. The expression quickly changed to a calm look. "Oh, um, it was nothing. I'll tell you later.." With that Jordan walked to his room.
I stood there for a while, confusion written in my features, until Nick bumped into me.
"Oh! Hey, Kate!" He said in a joyous tone.
"Sup." I greeted, faking a smile.
"The ceiling, duh." He ruffled my hair. "Can't believe you didn't know that!"
"Why are you in such a good mood?" I raised a brow, fixing my hair.
"oh, no reason. Just that I GOT A DATE!" He grinned widely.
My brows raised higher and I smiled. "Nice. What time?"
"5 pm. My date and I are gonna go see a movie!" Nick said, grinning widely. He was definitely looking forward to the idea of a date.
"Cool. Well, I gotta go. I'm recording with Jason today." I told him, not noticing his face drop a bit until I looked back at him. "What's with the long face?"
"It's nothin'. Don't worry about." Nick grinned at me again as I left the apartment to go record with Jason.
**Nick's POV**
((OMG A NEW POV IT'S A MIRACLE))
I waited for her to leave, faking a grin. Jordan's gonna be crushed if he finds out she's recording with Jason today and not him. I thought. Once Kate had left, I ran to Jordan's room to see that he was packing. I stood there, head tilted.
"Dude, why are you packing?" I asked.
"Kate asked me if I wanted to go to the lake with her and her friends. I'm going on the 7th. You'll be out by then, right?" He asked me.
A small pang of jealousy hit me when he asked the last sentence. I hope this Kate doesn't ruin our friendship... I thought, nodding in response to Jordan's question. I helped him pack up some more, my worries of Kate liking Jason falling out of my mind. If she asked him to the lake then she has to like him, right? I questioned in my mind. Most likely. Now, I've gotta date to get ready for. I glanced at my watch. It was about noon. I didn't have to get ready just yet.
Oh. The irony. This chapter is named The Words Not Spoken when it's 3/4 dialogue. I'm so ironic XD Well, I hope you all have enjoyed this chapter! Thanks for reading and have a perfect day!
