This has been my favorite chapter to write. As of yet…
I had a lot of fun writing this chapter
I don't own "Need You Know"
WARNING: Something at toward the end of this chapter will surprise you. I know it surprised me.
9:00 PM No One's POV September 25th, 2010
Cody, Sierra, Sarah, Loca, and Heather were told to come to Andrew's house.
They were climbing the stairs to his attic
"I don't know, he said he got a new attic. I don't really know what that means." Loca said
"Like he could afford that anyway." Heather laughed
"Dude is as rich as Zeke!" Cody laughed
Sierra and Sarah giggled.
They reached the door to Andrew's attic.
"Let's check this out." Loca said while Heather opened the door.
"Wow." Heather said when she walked in
"Woah." Loca said flowing Heather
"What's this?" Sarah said in awe, flowing Loca.
"Dang." Sierra said flowing Sarah.
"Got that right." Cody said closing the door.
The 5 friends had walked into a recording studio
"You like?" Andrew asked the crew. Guitar in lap. A pair of shorts by his side.
"Andrew… Are those my shorts?" Sarah asked
Andrew chuckled uncomfortably and chucked the shorts behind him.
They landed on Loca's shoulders. She looked at the shorts strangely.
"Since when do you play drums?" Heather asked Andrew, taking notice of the drums in the corner.
"I don't. I just built them. Got bored." Andrew said
"You need a life." Sarah said
Loca, Sarah, and Cody giggled.
Heather sat down at the drums and started playing.
Badly.
Loca chucked a CD case at her. Heather dodged.
Heather chucked a drumstick at her. Loca dodged.
Andrew set his guitar aside and stood up.
"Guys, I invited you over for a reason-"Andrew started
By now, Cody, Sierra, Sarah, and Loca gathered around the drum set to try and watch Heather balance the drumsticks on her head.
"My band left me." Andrew said
All 4 girls and Cody turned to Andrew.
"AGAIN."The five said in unison
"Yeah, and I kinda need a band by tomorrow."Andrew said.
"AGAIN."The five said in unison
"And I kinda need you guys to be my band." Andrew said
"AGAIN."The five said in unison
"But this is the first time I asked you guys too…" Andrew trailed off.
The girls and Cody raised their brows.
"I know I play guitar and Cody's good on the keyboard… but what I really need is someone who can play drums." Andrew said
Heather raised her hand.
"I can hit stuff." Heather said happily
"Ok. Just try it out." Andrew said.
Heather began playing the drums.
Badly.
When she hit a symbol, she accidently hit Sarah's hand.
"OW!"Sarah said
Heather smiled sheepishly.
Andrew approached the crew.
"Who do we know… who's really good at hitting stuff?" Andrew asked
Andrew, Heather, Sarah, Cody, and Sierra smiled and turned to Loca.
"What?" Loca asked
"Loca, you try." Andrew said
Heather stepped aside and handed Loca the drum sticks
Loca started playing the drums.
Amazingly.
The rest of the crew started at Loca wide eyed.
By the time Loca was done, everyone's jaw was slacked.
"Ok… Loca… you're on drums." Sierra said still in shock
"Sierra, I've got the perfect instrument for you." Andrew said handing her a tambourine.
"You're kidding right?" Sierra asked
"Nope." Andrew smiled
"Know… what could Sarah play?" Andrew asked himself.
Sierra and Loca went back to look at CD's
Cody started setting up a keyboard.
Sarah sat on a coach and Heather sat by her, listening to some 80's music in a tape player.
-5 minutes later-
"OOOOHHHH!" Andrew said standing up.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to see what idiotic idea Andrew came up with this time
"Sarah, remember when I said a bunch of gibberish words you couldn't understand. I meant to say. Bongos." Andrew said pointing to some bongos in the corner.
"As if! I'm so much better than that!" Sarah protested
"Sarah, it's so simple. You gotta play it, like you're making love to a woman." Andrew said reaching toward the bongos.
Heather shoved him away
"Play, as though your parents just cut your credit card right in half." Heather said
Sarah started to play the bongos.
She was pretty good.
"Ow! Broke a nail!"Sarah yelped.
"Good enough." Andrew said going to stand over by the drums.
"What kinda gig is this anyway?" Heather asked
Andrew turned around
"Battle of the Bands!" Andrew said
Everyone dropped what they were doing to turn to Andrew.
"BATTLE OF THE BANDS?"The five asked in unison.
"I'm sorry! My band ditched me this morning!" Andrew said
Then in the blink of an eye:
Sierra, Loca, Cody, and Sarah were standing around the drums and Heather was sitting at the drums.
"AGAIN."The five said in unison
Then, it was back to normal.
"Woah! No Way! I was standing right here, that can't happen!" Andrew said
The others just looked confused.
"What is he talking about?" Cody asked
"I can't believe I have to play bongos." Sarah said
"OOOHHH! You know who's a beast at bongos? Bryan." Andrew said
"Really? Just Really?" Heather asked
"That kid was the bomb! He ****** the show! It was the ******, ******, ******! OH my god that kid was the *******, *******, *******! I remember 1 time we went to Sev's. He bought this, I bought that, we were joking around the whole time! Bryan was the greatest. That kid, me and him were just bam, bam, bow…"Andrew rambled on
Heather got up and walked out to the deck. Slamming the door in the process.
Heather looked out. Feeling miserable
"Bryan and me… we were all over the place! I mean-"Andrew rambled on inside
SLAM!
Cody and Sierra came on to the deck.
"It'll be ok, Gillz." Cody said as Sierra nodded in agreement
"So I took the Slurpee… and poured it on his head and he just-"Andrew continued
SLAM!
Sarah came and stood beside her sad friend
"He's an idiot."Sarah said
Heather laughed
"Tell me about it."Heather said
"So he took it and shoved it up my-"Andrew rambled on a mile a minute
SLAM!
Loca came up to Heather and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Gillz…Forget this guy Bryan, Alright. He's gone. You have to move on." Loca said
"Thanks Loca. I feel so much better."Heather said sarcastically.
"There are so many other guys out there!" Loca shouted to the heavens
"But there are none that I want!" Heather shouted back to Loca.
"What was so special about this kid?" Loca said
"Oh my god… Don't get me started!"Heather said
Sierra mouthed "Yeah man, Don't Get Her Started!" to Loca
"Alright let's just go back inside, play some music-"Loca started
"I'M GONNA KICK ANDREW'S ASS IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO!"Heather shouted in rage
Sierra and Cody exchanged worried glances
Sarah gasped
"O, O, O, O, O…" Loca trailed off
Heather stormed inside and started to go for Andrew's throat; but she stopped.
Heather smiled.
"Ya know what? Good luck at Battle of the Bands." Heather said. Then she turned on her heel and left.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Anders said in a deep, slow-motion type voice.
"What the hell is he doing?" Loca asked. Her voice was normal.
"How does he do that?" Cody asked. His voice was also normal.
"Andrew, what's up with your voice?" Sierra asked. Her voice was normal as well.
"Puberty." Loca cracked. Sarah laughed.
"Alright… now that she's gone… who's gonna sing?" Andrew asked looking over his remaining crew members. His voice was back to normal.
Loca raised her hand sheepishly.
"Me." Loca chimed in.
"Dude you can sing!" Andrew said surprised.
"Number 1 what the f*ck? And number 2 yes I can sing." Loca said
"Try singing "Need You Know" It's the only song we know." Sarah said
"It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk, and I need you now!" Loca sang.
Horribly.
"LOCA!"Sierra shouted
"Yeah, what's up crazy?" Loca asked
"You sound like I a dying cat." Cody said
"That's an insult to dying cats." Sarah said
"Just stick to playing drums, honey." Sierra said
Heather walked in, with a water bottle in one hand
"I just needed some water." Heather said
"Gillz, I need to talk to you in private." Andrew said
Heather shrugged.
Andrew led Heather into the recording booth.
But, they forgot to close the door. So now, the entire crew could hear the conversation.
"OK, I know all about the ring and the kiss. Don't deny it! He told me everything. That kid… he just spilled every bean's he knew." Andrew said
Loca and Sarah, not knowing anything about the ring, exchanged shocked glances.
Sierra and Cody, knowing every single detail, exchanged concerned glances.
They knew how angry Heather could get and what she could do when she's angry.
But, they also knew how sensitive Heather was on the "Bryan" topic.
Andrew was practically signing his own death sentence.
Heather was surprised herself. She had no idea that Bryan told Andrew.
"I'm surprised. He said you would never be able to walk again." Andrew said
Heather dropped her water bottle.
Her surprise was quickly replaced with anger.
She shoved Andrew into the wall and punched him in his stomach.
Hard.
"I know you guys were listening..." Heather said when she walked out of the room.
-1 hour later-
"A one, a two, a skeedle deedle doo!" Sarah said as she started to play bongos and Sierra started to play tambourine.
Loca began to play the drums, Cody started on the keyboard, and Andrew started strumming "Need You Know". But he kept messing up.
"You know what: No more bongos or tambourine." Andrew said
"Thank You!" Sierra and Sarah said in unison as they got up and went to go look at some CD's.
-5 minutes later-
Andrew, Cody, and Loca started playing the song again.
"Picture Perfect-"Heather began to sing until she was interrupted by Loca going… well… Loca on the drums.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Let's take a break from the keyboard and drums." Andrew said
Loca and Cody shrugged.
-5 more minutes later-
Andrew started to strum the song on his guitar.
"Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor… forget it. I can't do this!" Heather said practically on the verge of tears as she went out onto the deck.
"C'mon guys. She needs her friends right now." Sierra said as she started to walk toward the deck.
"Guys wait! Let me go out there, by myself." Andrew said
"Haven't you done enough?" Cody asked
Andrew grabbed his guitar.
"Trust me." Andrew said.
He went to the deck.
"You ok?" Andrew asked.
"I dunno man. Memories, heart break, pain, unhappiness… It's great! I love it!" Heather said.
Andrew sat down and began to play the song
Heather:
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor,
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
Heather and Andrew:
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
Heather:
For me it happens all the time
Heather and Andrew:
It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone,
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control,
And I need you now,
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now.
Unknown to the 2 of them Loca, Cody, Sarah, and Sierra were watching and listening to everything.Andrew:
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door,
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
Heather and Andrew:
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
Andrew:
For me it happens all the time
Heather and Andrew:
It's a quarter after one,
I'm a little drunk,
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control,
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now.
Andrew:
Whoa, whoa
Heather:
Whoa, whoa
Heather and Andrew:
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
Heather:
It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone,
And I need you now.
Andrew:
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk,
And I need you now.
Heather and Andrew:
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now.
Heather:
Oh baby, I need you now...
"You gonna be ok?" Andrew asked, putting an arm around Heather's shoulder.
"Yeah. Thanks man." Heather said
(A/N: Insert Dramatic/Climatic music here)
Then Heather and Andrew started moving closer and closer.
Puckering their lips.
They were only an inch apart when:
"WOAH!"Heather shouted
"Oh my god!" Andrew shouted
The crew members inside were wide eyed.
Heather and Andrew jumped to opposite ends of the deck.
"Good work, friend." Andrew said awkwardly.
"You too, pal." Heather said awkwardly. Both of them were crimson red.
"See you inside." Heather said rapidly.
The 4 friends inside, upon hearing this, scrambled to look like they weren't eavesdropping.
Andrew tried to jump the railing of his deck… but ended up falling flat on his back on the deck.
Heather walked inside and sat down on the couch.
Sarah sat down by her
"So… what happened outside?" Sarah asked.
"Um… uh….gah… guh…uh… um… uh…" Heather, for the first since World Tour was tongue tied and didn't know what to say.
Andrew came inside and sat down at the drums.
He sighed.
"Guys… forget the Battle of the Bands; let's just make another music video.
Then in the blink of an eye:
Sierra, Loca, Cody, and Sarah were standing around the drums and Heather was sitting at the drums.
"AGAIN."The five said in unison
Andrew started freaking out.
"You were right there! You, you, you, you, and you! If I was sitting there you'd be killing me right now.
"That would be Gnarly!" Loca said giving 2 thumbs up and jumping into the air.
Do you guys want to see a music video for "Need You Know"?
Now… I want your honest opinion, who saw Heather and Andrew almost kissing part coming?
