Chapter 7 – Another Band Practice

Clare's Point of View

I wake up to hearing my annoying alarm clock. I groan at the sound at put my head under my pillow. Fuck school I'm not going if Eli and Bianca are going to be there! I need a girl's night or a night by myself at least I need to get my frustration out somehow I just don't know how... Maybe I could have a couple of drinks at the bar the thing is I'm not old enough... Maybe I could get Wesley to get me a fake ID to get in. I thought about it for a second and then decided to go with the idea. I lift the pillow from my head and turned off my alarm. Well I guess I'm going to have to go to school anyway to get that fake ID... I sigh annoyed. I'll just stay away from that ass today. I stretch and stand up from my bed. Walking over to my closet I rub my tired eyes, I reach out a hand and open the closet looking in and grabbed my outfit, also before going to the bathroom I open my drawer and grab a pair of black lacy panties and a bra that matched it after that being done I walk to the bathroom for my morning shower.

I place the outfit down on the counter top, turn on the shower to the right temperature, remove my clothes and jump into the shower. I let the warm water collide down my body, over my tense shoulders loosening the muscles. I sigh with pleasure. After my hair got soaked with water I grab the shampoo and scrub my short hair every part being full of shampoo. I wash it out fully and stay a bit longer in the water letting my muscles loosen more. After being there for at least 10 minutes I get out, grabbing a towel and drying off my body. I grab the black lacy panties and slip into them with ease. I grab my bra also clipping the clip together and lifting the straps over my shoulders. I put on my skirt and tug on my purple shirt and tucked it into the skirt like so. I blow dry my hair taking me 5 minutes to do that then I grab the curling iron and start curling my hair into small tight curls, this took me at least 10 minutes to do. I look at myself in the mirror and smile to myself, not caring to apply make-up I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen to grab something to eat for breakfast. I grab a box of healthy cereal. That's the only thing mom buys but I'm fine it tastes pretty good actually. I get the milk and pour some into the cereal. I bring it over to the table along with a spoon, eating silently since there was no one around. I finish off my cereal and put my dishes away. I grab my cell phone from my back pack and text Jake.

~Clare Text~ ~Jake Text~

'Hey do you think you can come get me..?' I texted him and grabbed my stuff.

'Sure I'll be there in a few'

'Thanks'

I place my cell back into my back pack and open the door, leaving to start my day. I shut the door behind me and wait a couple of minutes till Jake arrived. I open the passenger's side door and climb in placing my back pack on my lap. The ride to school was really quiet. I look over to Jake who was keeping his eyes on the road. I see him turn his head toward me I'm guessing he felt eyes staring at him. I look away quickly and look out the window as I did before. I heard a soft chuckle and I blushed a light pink. A few more minutes pass and we arrive at school, Jake parked the car in the students parking lot. He took the keys out of the car and shoved them into his pocket. We got out and shut our doors and walked into the school together.

"So what's going on? Why didn't you get your boyfriend to come get you?" He chuckled.

"I had seen him and B-Bianca kissing yesterday..." I looked down at the ground and kept walking. I didn't want to see the look on his face once he knew Eli was cheating not even a day into the relationship.

"You got to be kidding me right?" I look up at him, seeing the disappointing look on his face. I shook my head as if to say no that this was no joke or that I was kidding around with him. He came in front of me and looked down at me.

"Clare I'm Sorry Ill put Eli in his place don't you worry..." He said as tears sting my eyes. I was being emotional when I should be mad at him. Jake pulled me into a hug and I hugged him back tightly crying into his shirt. He having the advantage of being taller than me by quite a bit had me crying into his chest instead of his shoulder. After a couple of minutes we pulled away my tears had stopped.

"Jake don't worry yourself about it... I'm just going to have a night out tonight if I can get a fake ID from Wesley that is if he's able to make me one..." I said quietly not wanting anyone to hear only Jake.

"You're what!" Jake said with wide eyes.

"Shh! I'm going out drinking tonight if I get the ID and no one is stopping me..." I said again as I started to walk up the steps and into the school. I hear Jakes quick strides as he caught up to me.

"Well if you're going I'm coming to! You have no clue what goes on there and I'm not letting you go by yourself!" He shouted grabbing hold of my hand turning me around making me face him.

"Fine Ill need someone to entertain me" I smiled up at him. He let go of my hand and I walked to my class, and him walking to band practice with Eli, Adam, and Drew.

Jake's Point of View – Band Practice

I walk down the hall and through a door that lead to the band room. We booked it for all of our block one class. No one was in there yet so I decided to get everything together and ready for when they got here so we could get started. After I was done Adam and Drew come into the room together.

"You guys are here all we need to do now is wait for that dammed Eli to come" I cursed.

"Have you guys seen him lately?" I asked them as then went over to their instruments.

"I haven't seen him since yesterday I don't know where he could be" Drew spoke sitting on the stool in front of his drum set.

"Yah" Adam agreed.

It had been 10 minutes of silence, and then Eli walked into the room normally like nothing was wrong.

"Eli, where have you been?" I asked angered. It's been 10 damn minutes! That wastes our time to practice and then if we don't practice we fail at trying to make our band famous.

"What are you? My mother?" He questioned with a weird look on his face. I sighed annoyed.

"You missed out 10 minutes of practice time! And you're the one who told us to be on time and never be late, but yet you are"

"I was busy okay get over it"

"Busy messing around with Bianca" I said taking the words right out of his mouth that he wouldn't say. Eli growled at me giving me a glare.

"Back off Jake" Eli said walking up to his electric guitar and grabbing hold of it.

"Let's just get this practice over and done with" I mumbled, No longer wanting to deal with Eli's bullshit. After that it got really quiet.

"Well first off what song are we going to be practicing today?" Drew asked trying to break the awkward silence.

"Well we could start with Someone, Somewhere?" Adam questioned.

"Okay that works" Drew nodded and then Eli and Me nodded also. This Eli made before and after he and Julia.

Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own

It was you that told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in memphis
It's hard just to be strong not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine you smile when you hear my songs

A letter home and I know we don't speak much
and we both know I'm not keen to but I think there's things I've left unsaid

I'm okay don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down

You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world

The song ended by Drew finishing the song with the drums.

"Well we did that one okay kind of dull but we are working on it still so its fine" Adam commented, we agreed to his comment.

"And Eli needs to work on his vocals a bit" I said, Eli growled at the comment.

"Uh... Well! Back to work!" Adam chuckled nervously, and we went back to finding another song to work on.
