A/N
Another Update? So Soon? Yeah, I'm trying to stay consistent with updating so I thought I would update today.
I hope You all enjoy this chapter. :)
DISCLAIMER:
I do not own Home and Away. (even though I wish I did.) I own only the Younger characters, and the weird storylines.
Chloe sat on the edge of the stage, avoiding making eye contact with her Mum and Dad. Angelos hadnt opened yet, so no one else was there besides them. Kyle and Phoebe had woken her up that morning, saying they wanted to talk to her about something, which immediately sent her walking in the other direction. But she knew she couldn't avoid them forever, and decided she should probably talk to them.
"Why didn't you tell us you were playing last night?" Kyle asked, leaning up against the counter.
"I don't know." Chloe shrugged, "I guess I just didn't think you would care."
"Of course we would care, we're your parents." Phoebe smiled, looking at the door when Levi walked in.
"Thanks you little Sellout." Chloe glared at him as he walked by.
"They asked where you were, what was I supposed to say?" He shrugged.
"Anywhere but Angelos, you Idiot."
"I'm glad he told us where you were," Kyle said, "You did really good last night. I didn't even know you liked singing enough to get up in front of a bunch of people and do it."
"Yeah, I do. It was Harley's idea though." She shrugged, "He asked me if I wanted to do it a couple weeks ago, but I didn't think I could, so I said no."
"So, what made you decide you wanted to play?"
"As far back as I can remember, you and mum have loved singing, and thats like your thing, and I guess I just wanted to try it," She nodded a little, looking down at her guitar, "And it was awesome."
"Is that what you want to do?" Kyle asked, "Play music here?"
"Maybe for a while," She shrugged, "Would you guys actually be okay with that?"
Kyle glanced over at phoebe, before nodding, "If thats what you want to do, then yeah."
"We have to do what?" Ryan asked, as he and Seth followed Andy down to the Beach.
"You heard me," Andy shrugged, "Jett said he needed it cleaned up before this weekend, so Hop to it."
"How are we supposed to get the whole beach cleaned up by this weekend?" Seth asked, looking at the trash scattered along the beach.
"There are two of you, You can go one way, and Ryan can go the other way. I'm sure you'll get it done eventually."
"Thats not fair," Ryan frowned, dropping the trash bags.
"You don't like that? When you're done here, you're going to those peoples house and cleaning up the mess that happened during the storm."
"What? This is stupid." He rolled his eyes.
"Tough, maybe next time you'll think twice before breaking into someones house, won't you?"
Ryan grabbed the trash bag, and started picking up trash as he walked off. Part of him knew he had this coming. He'd been causing way too much trouble and breaking too many rules. He knew eventually his dad would notice, he just didn't think he would force him to clean up the whole beach with Seth, who was relatively useless, so he may as well be doing it by himself. on the bright side, it was his dad and not his Mum who found out about the break-in. She would have freaked, and probably ground him for life, So, maybe he was looking at this all wrong, maybe he was getting off easy.
Harley stood behind the bar at Angelos, watching Alexis, who was on the other side of the restaurant. He smiled when she looked up at him. He had asked her if she wanted to have lunch with him, but she had homework to do. She she, being the annoying person she is, brought her work to the restaurant and decided to do it there.
He waved a little, mouthing 'Hi'
'Hey' she smiled, waving back.
He grabbed a glass off the counter, 'Do you want a drink?' He mouthed, pointing at the glass.
She nodded, looking back down at her history textbook.
He walked over to the booth she was sitting at, scooting in to sit next to her, "One Mountain Dew for one awesome girl." He smiled, setting the glass in front of her.
"Thank you," She smiled.
"No problem," He smiled, leaning in to kiss her. He frowned when she backed away, "What?"
"I should finish my homework."
"You've been studying all afternoon."
"And I'm almost finished." She nodded, "How about I stay after closing?" She smiled a little, looking around at him.
Harley nodded a little, looking around at the people in the restaurant, before looking back at her, "yeah, okay." He smiled, standing up and walking back to the counter as a couple more people walked in.
...this was going to be a long shift.
Casey sat at a table in the diner, drinking his coffee. He looked up when he saw Sarah walk in with her dad. She looked around, smiling when she spotted him. She said something to her dad, waiting for him to nod before walking towards him.
"Hey," He smiled, standing up.
"Hi," She smiled back, sitting down when he pulled out the seat for her, "Thanks."
"I'm glad you came out here." He nodded, sitting down.
"Yeah, what did you want to talk about?"
"Uh, I wanted to ask you something."
"Okay, what is it?"
"About the other night, at the gym."
"I know, it was really weird, and awkward and.."
"That wasn't what I was going to say." He shook his head a little.
"It wasn't?"
"No," He chuckled, "I was going to say, I liked it." He smiled, looking down at the table, "And I wanted to ask you if you maybe wanted to go out for dinner." He added slowly.
"Um, Casey," She sighed, looking around the diner, I don't know."
"It's just dinner, you don't really have to, but I thought it would be fun," He smiled a little, "we could got to angelos, or I could make dinner. That could be interesting, Ive never made dinner for anyone else before."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Yeah, i'll have dinner with you." She smiled, nodding a little.
"Really?"
"Yeah," She nodded, looking down at the table.
"Awesome," He smiled, "Um, I can pick you up around five o'clock?"
"Yeah, that sounds good." She smiled, looking up as her dad walked over to the table.
"Hey Mr. Barrett." Casey smiled.
"Hey Casey." He nodded, "Sarah, are you ready to go?"
"Uh, Yeah." Sarah nodded, standing up, "Bye Casey."
"I'll see you later, yeah?"
"See you." She waved, following her dad out of the diner.
"What was all that about?" Josh asked.
"What was all what about?"
"You and Casey."
"Oh, nothing." She shrugged, "He just wanted to talk about something."
"Is that all it was?"
"Uh-huh." She nodded, looking back to see Casey walking out of the diner, giving his a small smile before looking ahead.
"Ryan, what the hell are you doing?" Isaac laughed as he and Kiara walked up to see Ryan picking up trash by the dock.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Ryan rolled his eyes, gesturing to the trash bag.
"I don't know, thats why I'm asking." He shrugged.
"Dad found out about the break-in, and he's making me and Seth clean up the whole beach before Saturday."
"By yourself?"
"Just the two of us."
"Where's Sethy right not?"
"Somewhere on the other side of the beach." He shrugged.
"Well, I think you should drop the trash, and come hang out with us instead." Kiara smiled.
"I wish, but my dad would kill me if he found out I left before we got finished."
"Come on, We'll be back long before he get's back here," Isaac nodded, "Kiara found this really cool place to hang, and we're heading out there to meet the other boys in a couple minutes. You in?"
Ryan looked around, making sure no one was around before dropping the bag, "Alright, where are we going?" He nodded, following Isaac and Kiara up to the sidewalk.
"Ryan, where are you going?" Amber asked, walking up to them.
"Nowhere." Ryan shrugged, looking around at Isaac.
"But, dad said you weren't supposed to leave here."
"Well, dad isnt going to find out I left, is he?"
"If he comes back, he will." She shrugged, crossing her arms.
"No, because you're going to tell him I went to the bathroom."
"Yeah right, why would I do that?"
"Because, it would be a shame if Mum found out that you skipped class last week to go hang out with Midget."
"Landon." She corrected, "Fine, if he asks, I'll tell him you went to the bathroom."
"Ladies, are we going to stand here yapping, or can we go now?" Isaac asked, looking back and forth between the two.
"Yeah, lets go." Ryan nodded, breaking eye contact with Amber to look back at Kiara before walking off.
Harley banged his head against the counter for the third time since he had gotten back to work after talking to Alexis. Whenever he was bored and there was nothing to do, there was no one is the Restaurant, but when he got excited about closing, people came crawling out of the woodwork..
He walked around the restaurant, wiping off the tables as people slowly started to leave. There was only one guy left, and he wasn't even eating, he was talking to someone on the phone, which probably annoyed Harley more him actually being there. He wanted to strangle the guy. Restaurants are for eating, not for making phone calls, asshole.
Finally, just when Harley thought he was going to lose it, the guy got up and left.
When Alexis looked up from her books, Harley had already stacked the chairs and was back behind the counter. She stood up, walking behind the bar.
"You still want to talk?" She asked, taking a seat on the counter.
"Talking wasn't exactly the plan," He smiled, leaning in to kiss her.
Casey walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel as he walked into the living room where Rikki was sitting.
"Hey Mum," He smiled, walking into the kitchen.
"Hey Case, What are you doing?"
"Getting ready to go out," He nodded, grabbing a soft drink from the refrigerator.
"Where are you going?"
"To the farmhouse," He smiled a little, "Me and Sarah are going to get dinner."
"Sarah?"
"Barrett." He nodded, standing in front of the mirror, fixing his hair.
She watched him spiking his hair in different directions, laughing a little, "Casey, your hair looks fine."
"I don't want it to look fine, Mum. I want it to look perfect." He shook his head, walking back to his bedroom.
Casey wouldn't consider himself a player, but he had been on a couple dates before, but none had made him nearly as nervous as going out with Sarah. He really liked her and wanted everything to go as perfectly as possible.
Sarah walked up to her closet, grabbing a couple tshirts and a dress and set them on her bed. She bit her lip anxiously as she looked back and forth between the clothes. She grabbed the dress, walking into the bathroom to change before walking into the living room where Her mum and dad were talking.
"Mum?" She said, walking up to the couch.
"Hmm?" She looked up from her notes, smiling when she saw Sarah.
"Does this look okay?"
"Yeah, you look lovely." She smiled.
"You don't think its too..?"
"You look fine."
"Where are you going?" Josh asked, glancing up at Sarah.
"Out with Casey." She smiled a little, flattening out the wrinkles on her dress.
"Oh, he just wanted to talk about something, huh?" He chuckled.
"Well, we did talk about stuff," She shrugged, turning back to her mum, "So, it looks okay?"
"Is our opinion really going to help determine whether you wear the dress or not?"
"Depends what you say."
"You look fine, Sarah."
She rolled her eyes a little, sitting on the couch across from them.
Everyone looked towards the door when the doorbell rang. Sarah didn't move, she stared at the door, glancing over at her Mum for a moment, before looking down.
"Are you going to get that?" Evie asked, looking up at Sarah.
Sarah nodded a little, standing up and walking to the door. She opened it a crack, smiling when she saw Casey on the other side, straightening out his shirt, "Hi."
"Hey," Casey grinned, looking up at her, "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah," She nodded, walking outside and closing the door behind her.
"Alexis?" Harley sighed, pulling away from her, "Hey."
"What is it?" Alexis asked, running fingers through his hair.
"I thought we were going to have dinner."
"I don't think we ever specified what we were going to be doing." She smiled a little, kissing him again.
"You say that like I was complaining," He mumbled between kisses.
"You werent?"
"Hell no."
"Maybe we-" Harley started, but was interrupted when someone walked in, and he heard a familiar voice.
"You two do know this is a restaurant, right?" Heath said, crossing his arms.
Harley backed away from Alexis, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"Bianca asked me if I would come out here and see if you needed a ride home, but by the looks of it you weren't planning on heading home any time soon."
"Dad," He rolled his eyes, walking over to the counter.
"I should probably go home." Alexis said, walking past Heath, "I'll see you tomorrow, Harley." She added, walking out of the Restaurant.
"What's wrong with you?" Harley asked, looking up from the counter.
"Me? She's 16, Harley. What's wrong with you?" Heath shook his head.
"What's your point? I like her."
"Yeah, well I know her parents, and they're going to kill you." He nodded, "Now, come on. Lock up, we're going home."
"You're not going to tell Bianca about this are you?" Harley asked after a second.
"Car. Now."
Casey drove the car up to his house, parking in the driveway before getting out of the car and walking around to open the door for Sarah.
"Thank you," She smiled, stepping out of the car, and following him up to the house.
"Sorry about the mess," Casey laughed a little as they walked inside, "Mum and I went to the city last week and we only just got around to unpacking."
'It's okay. Mine's probably much worse," She nodded, "At least it's just you and your Mum here-" she covered her mouth when she realized what she had said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that."
"No, It's okay." He shook his head, opening the door to the back yard, "Um, I'm not sure If you like eating outside or not, but Mum helped me get the picnic table out of the shed, so If it doesnt rain again it should be pretty nice out here." He smiled a little, sitting down at the table.
"Yeah, eating outside is good," She smiled, sitting next to him.
"I didn't actually make dinner though, I tried, and I burned it. So, Mum ordered Pizza." He shrugged, laughing a little.
"It's fine. I'm just glad I get to spend time with you," She smiled, looking down at the table.
"Me too." He smiled, lightly squeezing her hand.

REVIEWS:
SamEvans17: My logic made perfect sense to me. XD I was wondering if you would notice that. (Lynn's Idea, FYI). I thought I did pretty good on Heath, I mean I was kind of worried that he was just going to sound kind of annoying, then I was like 'Oh wait..he is annoying' So, thanks. :)
FrankElza: Glad you enjoyed it. :) Yeah, they got caught alright and I can tell you, their parents will not be amused. Casey definitely was not Impressed. Yeah, Chloe's an interesting Character to write for, and I hope she's coming off as a bit like her Mum and Dad.
Sarah's very confused, because of what happened before, (Which you will be finding out soon.) Nope, Heath doesnt want her going to the city, especially with Drew...but she's a braxton, do you really think thats going to stop her?
I love replying to all your reviews. :) Wasnt Tangle really good? I binge watched it last week, and I have to say...worst ending I have ever seen.
