A/N
Hello all you wonderful people! Now, I know it's not Monday, but I honestly Couldn't wait to update, and I already have all my chapters typed out, (Well, The first 13 chapters.) So I figured updating a little early wasnt going to kill anyone.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. :)
This chapter was co-written with 'iamthedoctor1' who is a crazy good writer and one of my best friends. Y'all should definitely check out her stuff. :)
Chapter 4 -
Seth was woken up by the sound of a door slamming, He sat up and looked around the room, immediately remembering what had happened the night before. Him and Ryan...Mostly Ryan, had broken into someones house to get out of the rain. He turned on his side, falling into the floor.
"Ryan." Seth whispered, shoving his friends arm in attempt to wake him up.
"What?" Ryan asked.
"I think the owners are home."
Ryan sat up, looking around, "Come on, we should go."
The boys grabbed their backpacks and started walking to the door, but stopped when they heard footsteps behind them.
"Where are you two going?"
Seth turned around to see a police officer standing a couple feet behind them, "We were just leaving." He laughed nervously.
"You dont live here, do you?"
"Actually, officer. We do." Ryan lied, and if Seth didn't know any better, he wouldn't have actually thought Ryan was being truthful.
"Really? Because the owners called into the station this morning saying two teenage boys had broken into their house sometime during the night."
"It's a funny story.."
"Yeah, you can tell me all about it on the way down to the police station." The officer nodded, ushering the boys out the door.
Chloe sat in front of her locker, strumming on her guitar when Levi walked by, nearly tripping over her leg. She looked up at him, as if her sitting in the hallway playing guitar in the middle of class was perfectly normal.
Levi blinked a couple times, starring down at her, "Whatcha doing?"
Chloe shrugged, "What does it look like I'm doing?"
"It looks like you're skipping class and playing guitar instead."
"Then it's exactly what it looks like."
"Why are you skipping class?"
"Because I'm working on something." She shrugged, "What about you"
"I'm late. Ryan was supposed to drive me to school, but he never turned up." He shrugged, "Then I called Casey, but he didn't answer."
"Oh, that sucks. Wheres Ryan anyway?"
"I dont know. Him and Seth went somewhere yesterday, and I haven't seen them since." He shrugged, "What are you working on?"
"A song." She nodded, "And you didn't think to ask Sarah where they were?"
"Sarah and I aren't really on speaking terms at the moment." He shook his head, "What kind of song?"
"A song song." She rolled her eyes, "What'd you do this time?"
"I thought I was helping her, and I just made things worse than they were. and she probably won't talk to me again." He sighed, "What for?"
"You do that a lot don't you." She chuckled, before looking around the hall, "If I tell you, you have to swear you wont say a word to anyone, especially not to Mum and Dad."
"Are you really saying that after I told you I screwed up with Sarah?"
"Do you want me to tell you or not?"
"Fine."
"Harley asked me if I wanted to play a few songs at Angelos tonight."
"And you said?"
"I said No, Levi. I'm sitting in the hall, practicing some stupid songs, but I said No." She rolled her eyes, sometimes Levi could be really dense.
"Funny," He fake laughed, "Why dont you want your parents knowing?"
"Because, Dad'll make a big deal out of it, and I dont even know what Mum would do." She shook her head, looking back at her guitar.
"So, what happens if one of them turn up at Angelos tonight? I mean, they kind of own Half of it, right? They're bound to figure out eventually." He shrugged.
"Hopefully that won't happen."
"Right," He nodded, "You haven't heard from Case have you?"
Casey opened his eyes, looking around the gym. He glanced next to him where Sarah was laying on the mat. He smiled a little, standing up and walking to the door. The power must have come back on sometime while they were asleep. He opened the door, looking around, no one was there yet, so he'd have time to clean up before anyone knew they had spent the night.
He walked back to the Mat, sitting down to try to wake Sarah up.
"Sarah," He whispered, "Hey, sleepy head."
She opened her eyes, looking up at him, smiling a little, "Morning."
"You know you talk in your sleep right?" He smiled.
She sat up, slapping his arm, "I do not."
"Yeah, you do." He chuckled, "Who's Mitchell?"
She frowned a little, looking around the room, "What time is it?"
Casey raised an eyebrow at her before looking at his watch, "Almost Noon."
"I'm missing class." She said, quickly standing up.
"Sarah, chill. I'm sure missing one day of class isnt going to kill you."
"No, but my parents will if they find out."
"Heres a better idea. How about I walk you to the diner and we'll get lunch, then I'll drive you home?"
Sarah thought about it for a moment, before nodding, "Okay."
"Awesome, I'll just-"
"What are you two doing in here?" Andy asked, walking into the gym.
"Can you give me a minute?" Casey asked, "I might be able to come up with a good excuse."
"Sarah, what are you doing here? Your parents have been going crazy trying to figure out where you went last night."
"My phone went dead," Sarah stood up, grabbing her backpack, "I'll see you later Casey." She walked out of the gym.
Casey looked over at Andy, shaking his head as he sat back on the bench.
"What?" Andy asked.
"Could you have any worse timing?"
He shrugged, looking around the room, "Were you two in here all night?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah," He nodded, before shaking his head, "No, we got locked in here because the power went out and the doors wouldn't open."
"Uh-huh."
"Seriously, that was it."
"Whatever you two do in the gym after hours is none of my business." He shrugged, walking over to the desk, leaving Casey feeling slightly awkward and embarrassed.
"Why can't I go?" Hayden asked, following Natalie from her bedroom, down the hall and into the living room.
"Because, Ash said it was just going to be me and him." Natalie shrugged, "You can go next time."
"But I want to go this time."
"Hayden, He said you can't go. So, you can play with Landon while we're gone." She replied, pushing him out of the entrance and walking into the living room where Denny and Ash were.
"Hey," Ash smiled, "You ready to go?"
"Yeah," Natalie nodded, "Are you? because I distinctly remember being the one who had to wake you up this morning."
"I've just got to load everything into the Ute, then we can leave." He chuckled, "You want me to get your bags for you."
"Sure." She nodded a little, watching him walk to her bedroom, then walk outside with the bags.
"Be nice to him, He's really trying, Nat." Denny said, watching Ash walk out the door.
"I am being nice." Natalie nodded, "I wouldn't be going camping with him if I wasn't being nice." She shrugged, looking at her phone before Denny grabbed it out of her hand, "Hey, what was that for?"
"No phones on the trip."
"But, Ash has his."
"So he can call if anything happens."
"Fine," Natalie rolled her eyes as Ash walked back into the house.
"All ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." Natalie nodded, giving Denny a hug before walking outside.
"It's going to be a good weekend, yeah?" Ash smiled once they were both in the Ute.
"Yeah." Natalie smiled, looking out the window.
Seth and Ryan sat in a holding room at the police station. Seth sat at the table, rapidly tapping his foot on the tile floor, while Ryan sat in the floor, against the wall, throwing a rubber ball against the wall, repeatedly.
"Would you knock it off!" Seth yelled, "Where the hell did you get that anyway?"
"Does that even matter?." Ryan shrugged, bouncing the ball against the wall again, "What's your problem anyway?"
"Whats my problem?" Seth scoffed, "How about the fact that we just got arrested for breaking and entering. and they are going to call our parents!"
"And?"
"Unbelieveable." He shook his head, "You seriously dont care?"
Ryan shrugged, "Would caring change anything?"
"No?" Seth replied, almost as a question.
"Then there you go."
Seth looked over at the door when it opened, and Casey walked in.
"Case? What are you doing here?" Seth asked, standing up.
"You two are lucky it was me who picked up the phone, and not Andy." Casey said, looking back and forth between the two of them, "Come on, we're leaving."
"Just like that?" He asked as they walked outside.
"You just better be glad the owners arent pressing charges."
"That could be bad, right?"
"Not nearly as bad as what's going to happen when your parents find out."
"Seriously?" Ryan rolled his eyes, "You get our hopes up by coming to get us, then you say you're telling our parents?"
"Damn straight I'm telling them," Casey nodded, "What the hell were you two thinking?"
"That we got stuck outside during a bad storm and we were too far from home."
"So you broke into a house? Great thinking, Ryan." He shook his head, pushing the boys out the door.
Taylor walked into the house, looking around to see if her parents were home. She walked into the kitchen where her dad was. She took a deep breath before walking up behind him.
"Hey dad?"
Heath turned around, smiling a little, "Hey, you're home early."
"Yeah, Mr. MacGuire let his class out early." She shrugged, "Can I talk to you about something? It's kind of important."
Heath gave her a weird look before nodding a little, "Sure."
"Okay, so I have this friend who has asked if I wanted to go to the Zoo with them, and I said I would have to ask you because it's in the city," She explained, careful not to include that it was a boy who she would be going with.
"When?"
"He said we'd be leaving-"
"Whoa, He?"shit…
"Yeah?"
"No, you're not going."
"What? Why not?"
"Because, you're not going to the city, by yourself with a boy." He shook his head, "Especially with a boy I dont know."
"No, but you do know him."
"Oh yeah, who is it?"
"Drew."
"Drew? Kaplan?"
She nodded a little, feeling like the rest of this conversation was completely pointless and would have no effect on his final decision.
"Oh that makes a difference then."
"Really?" she smiled a little.
"Are you kidding? No way," He scoffed, "You're not going anywhere with a riverboy."
"But dad."
"Don't 'but dad' me, You're not going with him."
"He's not even a riverboy!"
"End of conversation, Taylor." Heath shook his head, walking out of the kitchen.
Chloe walked into Angelo's, looking around for Harley. She stood by the counter, looking around. There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and it was literally making her feel sick. She turned around, ready to walk out of, but Harley stood behind her.
"You're not thinking about leaving, are you?" He smiled.
"What? No way." She shook her head, looking around again.
"Are you okay? You look like you're about to be sick."
"Yeah, theres just a lot of people here." She nodded, leaning against the counter.
"It won't be so bad once you get up there."
"How would you know?"
"I don't, but It can't be that bad, can it?"
She rolled her eyes, laughing a little, "Did you get my guitar?"
"Yeah," He nodded, grabbing it from behind the counter, smiling a little when she grabbed it, "Good luck."
Chloe walked onto the stage, taking a seat on the stool, before looking around. She took deep breath before starting to strum her guitar.
"Everytime you walk into the room
got me feeling crazy,
Shock my heart boom boom.
Any other girl would stare but me, I look away cause you're making me scared.
Try not to breathe 1 2 3, try not to freak when you look at me.
Gotta make you move but I freeze, you don't have a clue what you do to me.
Boy, you make me shy, shy, shy. You make me run and hide, hide, hide.
Feel like I get lost in time whenever you near me.
Boy, you make me shy, shy, shy. I fighting butterfli-fli-flies.
Yeah, you make me lose my mind whenever you near me.
Boy you make me shy.
Rejection is a word that I don't wanna know but a boy like you could kill
a Girl real slow.
A million words stuck up in my head waiting to be said but my tongue is
stumbling.
Try not to breathe 1 2 3, trying not to freak when you look at me.
Try to make you move but I freeze, you don't have a clue what you do to me.
Boy, you make me shy, shy, shy. You make me run and hide, hide, hide.
Feel like I get lost in time whenever you need me.
Boy, you make me shy, shy, shy. I fighting butterfli-fli-flies.
Yeah, you make me lose my mind whenever you near me.
Boy, you take me high. I feel like I can fly. But I fall out of the sky.
when I look into your eyes.
Oh boy, you make me shy, shy, shy. You make me run and hide, hide, hide.
Feel like I get lost in time whenever you near me.
Boy, you make me shy, shy, shy. I fighting butterfli-fli-flies.
Yeah, you make me lose my mind whenever you need me.
Boy, you make me shy.
Boy, you make me shy.
Can even talk to you?
Boy, you make me shy."
Chloe smiled when she finished the song, looking around at all the smiling faces. The smile fell slightly when she noticed her dad standing in the corner of the restaurant. She looked away when everyone started clapping.
"Thank you, I'll be back in a couple minutes." She smiled, setting her guitar on the stand before walking off the stage. She walked over to Harley who gave her a big hug.
"That was awesome." Harley smiled.
"You were right, that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be." She nodded, backing away when she saw her dad walking over to them.
"Uh, I'll go get you a drink." Harley nodded a little, "Hey Kyle." He added as he walked off.
Sarah walked into the farmhouse, setting her her things by the door before walking to her bedroom. She sat down on the edge of her bed. Did that really happen? Casey really kissed her..and she kissed him back? She couldn't help the small smile from spreading across her face. What was she going to tell her parents?
"Sarah? Was that you?" Evie called.
Whatever she was going to say, she better think of it fast.
"Hi," Sarah said as her Mum Walked up to the door, "What are you doing home? I thought you would be at work."
"Lunch break. I thought you would be at school."
"I didn't make it to school today." She shook her head, expecting her Mum to get mad, but was surprised when she didn't.
"Where were you last night? We were really worried about you."
"I'm sorry," She apologized, "I went to the gym, and I didn't know there was supposed to be a storm last night." She shrugged, "And the power went out at the gym, so I couldn't get out." She nodded a little, glancing at her mom, who looked completely unfazed, "But I'm guessing you already know that."
"Andy called earlier, just to let us know you were okay."
"So, you're not mad?"
"Mad, no. Upset that you ran off, Yes." She nodded, "You know we still need to talk."
"Mum, can we not? I'm fine, really." Sarah smiled a little, standing up, "I should go find Seth, and ask him for the assignments from this morning." She nodded, "I'll See you later."

A/N
As someone so kindly pointed out to me in a PM, I forgot to put a disclaimer in the last three chapters, soooo
DISCLAIMER:
I do not own Home and Away, if I did, a lot of shit wouldn't have happened, especially not that godawful storyline with Heath and April, *Le Puke* (I sincerely apologize if you liked that, I did not.) Also, Casey would not be dead, and Maddy and Josh would never have gotten together (Even if I did like them for a short time...very short.) and for the love of God, Brax wouldnt be in Jail.
Also, I do not own the song Chloe sang, It's 'Shy' by Jai Waetford. I just changed it up a little so it was more from a girls point of view.
REVIEWS:
FrankElza: Thank you for your review! I thought the storm was a pretty good idea myself, but I actually added it in last minute because I needed a reason for Sarah and Casey to get locked in the Gym. :) I think Natalie actually likes Ash a little, but doesnt want to admit it quite yet.
Arent Sarah and Casey just adorable? :) Ah yes, the teaser. Yes, Ryan is very much a trouble maker, and it doesnt end there. :) Alexis definitely doesnt want her parents finding out just yet, but she's a bit careless and doesnt really think about things before she does it, so that could cause her quite a bit of trouble.
I'm glad you like Casey and Sarah! :) Alexis is going to have one of the best storylines, but not until a little later. I hope you liked Chloe, since she just came in. :) Again, Thanks for the review, and for reading. :) I hope you continue to read. :)
Fanfiction.79: Thank you for reviewing, Sandy. :) I think there will definitely be a spark between Casey and Sarah, but not all relationships come without a feew bumps in the road. You know, I actually have three messages in my inbox asking if Brax would be making an appearance, and I'm not sure yet, but I wouldnt completely rule it out as a possibility.
Guest: You're the 5th person to ask if there would be a Bricky reunion, or if Brax, Ricky and Casey would be together, like I told Fanfiction.79, I'm not sure yet, but I wouldnt rule it out yet. :) Thanks for the review.
SamEvans17: Okay, well...Here's my logic, Evie and Oscar were nearly sixteen when they came in in 2013, which means she would be seventeen in 2014, eighteen in 2015..it's twenty years in the future. twenty plus eighteen is Thirty-eight. Sarah and Seth are seventeen so that would make Evie and Josh at least twenty or Twenty-one when they had the kids, so I hope that makes sense. :) Harley should be Twenty, but I have Nineteen right now, His birthday is a little later. :) But I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for reviewing. :)
Anyway, I'm glad you guys actually like this story, it makes me want to keep writing. :)
Also, a really random question, Have any of you seen Tangle? It was on Showcase in like, 2009, there were three seasons I believe. It was so good, if you havent seen it, I suggest it. (Lincoln Younes was in it, so that was a plus)
Again, there is a tumblr for this story, and if you guys want the link, just let me know and I can send it to you or something. :)
*SPECIAL NOTE*
I'm looking for someone to co-write a chapter with. If you're interested, let me know in the reviews section.
And I'm going to pick a couple people who I'd love to collaborate with. :)
