Chapter One: Spring Break Vacation Plans!
Scott noticed everyone his expression "Oh nothing don't worry about it…" he began to say which everyone gave a blank 'don't you lie to me' look then Mo had her 'Babe what's the matter?' look causing him to shift uncomfortable "Okay fine…it's just usually Ray and I would spend our spring break together that's all," he explained.
Stella face fell "Oh…" she began to say feeling a little guilty over this "So you and Beech usually spend a lot of time together huh?" she explained.
"Yeah, we usually do his parents would be out of town a lot and he would be by himself, and we usually just hang out at his vacation house which is in New York, California, or Hawaii," Scott explained.
Stella whip splashed almost like someone woke her up "HAWAII!?" she screamed in horror then growled "MO I told you I haven't made up my mind on the last two tickets why would you tell Scott that?!" she exclaimed.
Mo blinked her eyes owlish "Whoa, whoa, whoa I haven't told Scott anything and why are you yelling at me?" she felt offended at this.
"I MEAN WHO ELSE WOULD TELL SCOTTY BOY ABOUT MY HAWAII BIRTHDAY TRIP!?" Stella screamed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—" Scott trying to intervene between the two ladies "Stella, Mo hasn't told me anything the only reason I said Hawaii is because Ray's parents has a vacation house there," he explained.
Stella stared at Scott for a long moment "Really?" she asked
"Yes really," Scott began to say, "I didn't know you were going to Hawaii in your birthday?" he asked.
"Oh…."
"Yea so you're good?"
"Yeah I'm—I'm good."
"Good…"
Stella sighed rolling her eyes looking away "Hey Mo,"
"Yea?"
"I'm sorry for accusing you of telling Scott about my birthday trip in Hawaii,"
"It's okay I would've felt upset if I told my boyfriend about the birthday trip without even telling him about it too. I mean you would've felt the same way if you had a boyfriend," Mo explained.
Stella narrowed her eyes at Mo "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing I was just…being…?"
"Being what?"
"Well, it's just… I have a boyfriend…?"
"Yeah so?"
"And well …I mean Liv and Wen are probably going to end up being a couple?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa don't you drag Wen and I into this conversation Mo that's so uncalled for and you know it," Liv argued back causing Wen to feel offended by that.
[How to Rock—Gravity 5—Kacey & her friends were in the middle of band practice and took a break for a bit]...
Zander's P.O.V.
After school my friends and I decided to stay in the band room rehearsing band practice and decided to take a break since Kevin and Nelson were too distracted from the game, they were playing so we took a break. Neither of us made plans after school so we decide to stay to kill time that was until Stevie started to freak out about something that I decided to calm her down.
"Hey Stevie, you okay there buddy?" I asked hesitated watching her back and forth.
"Hmm yeah, yeah, it's nothing Zander, it's just my big brother Alex forgot to give me a ride to this one place that I wanted to go but, apparently he had to work in the last minute it's not a big deal," Stevie waved it off not wanting to make a big deal and before I can reply Kacey screamed happily causing me to turn to my other best friend who ran off by closing the door behind her talking to whoever she was talking too.
"Hi daddy," Kacey greeted her.
'I'm assuming that's her dad,' I thought to myself.
"I'm fine daddy how are you doing? How's everyone? Uh huh, uh huh, no I haven't talked to mama yet why is she okay? Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh…no I haven't talked to Jay, Rene or Blaise why? Uh huh, uh huh, no I haven't got a chance to pick up the Quints. Uncle Rusty has them from what I know and—uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, no I don't have plans for spring break you know that. Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. Really!" she began to say jumping up and down excitedly causing us to raise our eyebrows at her "Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, are you and mama coming back home soon or—" that's when her face fell in disappointed and kicked her feet on the floor sadly "Oh…yeah that's totally fine daddy. Yes, I'm sure mama wouldn't mind…I mean she can always get me and the Quints discounts tickets thru the airlines to come visit you and—uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yeah, I can totally go. The principle told us just announced our spring break vacation actually he said instead of two weeks it's going to be a whole month, so I have no plans for spring break why? Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, really! I can go to Hawaii I always wanted to go to Hawaii. Yes, a whole month is totally fine I can make plans for us to do and we can—oh….yeah that's totally fine I know your busy with work daddy. Yeah, I know I just really miss you daddy," she explained.
Kacey nodded at this.
"Yes, daddy I'm positive I can totally go. Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. Really? I can bring my friends. Are you sure? What do you mean? Daddy, I don't need a chaperone since I'm 16 years old and—" she began to say with a tired sigh "Yes Daddy I understand. Yes, I'll ask Jay, Blaise and Rene give me a second," she then texted her brothers on a text who she continues to say "They said they can totally chaperone the Quints and I along with my friends. Hey daddy can I bring my friends and see if they have plans for spring break really ! OMG thank you daddy! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock Daddy! I love you too and I can't wait to see you guys! I love you too byeee," she explained as she squealed happily.
"Guys you never going to guess what my daddy—" Kacey was cut off by her phone call holding up a finger "Hold that thought? Hello. Oh, hi daddy! Yes, I'm about to ask them right now? Huh you already called their—how did you get their number? Uh huh, uh huh, daddy! That's not necessary to do that" she sighed tiredly "Thank you daddy I'm going to ask them right now and text you the details. I know daddy I will tell mama about it when she gets home today but, I think her next flight will be during the weekend though, so I'll tell her before she heads back to work. Uh hu, okay daddy I will tell her. I love you too daddy give Kuya Jay, Kuya Blaise & Kuya Rene my love. Oh well okay then I'll see them in a week when they get home by daddy!" she explained.
"Sorry about that guys, that was my dad," Kacey began to say causing us to nod at this "You're never going to guess what my daddy told me," she explained.
"What's up Kace?" Stevie asked.
While I pretended to read a book and not overheard her conversation with her dad which made me and the guys very curious.
"Well, I just talked to my dad, and I asked him if I can bring you guys to accompany us to Hawaii and you know what he said," Kacey stated as she was between Stevie and I which I sat down next to her where Nelson and Kevin were coming from the other side of the band room.
"No what?" I asked casually
She turns around where she grabbed me by the collar leaving me to widen in shock as if there's a deer in headlights "My dad said I can bring you guys to the cruise that I'm going too in spring break and since we have a whole month!? WE CAN ALL GO TOGETHER?! Isn't that FREAKING AWESOME! We're going to a cruise for a whole month not two weeks not a week but, a whole month how cool is that, Zander! Isn't this so exciting where we're going to have so much fun! I can't wait till you guys meet my dad and my older brothers Jay, Rene & Blaise. My big brothers are like the coolest older brothers I ever had besides the Quints of course and I can't wait for this trip! It's going to be so AWESOME!" she exclaimed
As much as I love Kacey shaking me at the moment since she was very close to me where I can feel myself harden considering she hasn't done anything but, I could smell her perfume from my end that I had to let go of her much to my disappointment with a huge smile considering I'm very excited as she is considering I get to see her in her bathing suit now that is what I'm hoping for.
"That's awesome princess," I began to say which I can feel myself getting a little dizzy "Can you do me a favor princess," I replied.
"Sure what?" Kacey asked considering she's continued to shake me.
"As much I enjoy the happy news princess but, do you think you can uh let me go I'm feeling a little dizzy from the shaking you're doing," I explained feeling dizzier then usual.
"Oops sorry Zu-zu. Oh my god Stevie-bear! We have major shopping to do! Come on no time to lose we need new clothes, shoes, make up and of course the ultimate important thing—" Kacey stated who grabbed Stevie by the arm, dragging her behind despite her protest where Kevin, Nelson and I just stared at the girls where I just shrugged my shoulders to come with since we didn't have anything else to do "We need to upgrade our luggage's I know you said you only have one luggage but, Stevie bear we need to update your luggage okay I know, I know you're not girlie but, if we're going to this cruise we have to follow the dinner rules. We have to wear evening gowns and stuff so Zander, Kevin, Nelson we need to find you guys suits if we're staying there for a month, so we need a month's worth of clothes for every day. We're going to need two luggage's, and one carry-on luggage so chop-chop," she explained.
"But princess we don't have a car?" I asked.
"Who says we don't have a car," Kacey grabbed her car keys putting her stuff inside her car "I'm driving come on Zu-zu no time to lose chop-chop," she ordered us inside.
I sighed tiredly 'The things I do for the girl I love, wait love no we're not even—' I stopped to think staring at Kacey who was cleaning her car for a bit 'Yeah I'm defiantly in love with her….the only problem is …I don't even know if she feels the same way it's …hard to tell—how can I possibly tell her what if she doesn't feel the same it would totally ruin our friendship which is the last thing that I—'
"Zu-Zu come on chop-chop the mall is about to close in like 3 hrs. if we're going to shop everything we need to go now," Kacey ordered.
"Coming," I quickly added as I called shot gun since Stevie sat in the back between Nelson and Kevin.
[back in Texas—Mesa High School—Band room Stella and Mo were in a middle of a heated argument but, Charlie managed to calm down Stella who huffed while Mo whimpered being comforted by her boyfriend Scott who tried to calm down the girls which seemed to help a bit]
[2 ½ hours of tension between the band]
"Stella…"
[no answer]…
Mo sighed after calming down from crying "I'm sorry for saying that. I didn't mean to make it seem like it's a bad thing not having a boyfriend," she began to say causing Stella to huff in response "I'm sorry okay, I hope it didn't cause you to cancel my ticket on your birthday trip to Hawaii," she explained.
Stella looked away rolling her eyes not responding.
Mo sniffed hugging her best friend "I'm sorry Stella, please don't be mad at me," she murmured.
"It's fine and no I didn't cancel your ticket to come with us that would be selfish of me," Stella murmured.
"Good I'm glad to hear that…" Mo murmured.
Stella raised her eyebrow at Mo "But, say that kind of thing again and I won't be too nice Mo," she warned her.
"I won't promise," Mo assured her.
"Don't make promises you can't keep Mo," Stella murmured.
"And Liv…" Mo began to say turning to Liv and Wen "And Wen …I didn't mean to drag you guys into our argument," she explained.
Liv gave Mo a look and sighed tiredly "It's fine Mo" she murmured.
"Wen?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for dragging into the argument,"
Wen shrugged at this "It's fine no worries Mo, just because the rest of us isn't with someone that doesn't mean you have to brag about it. We don't have to follow each other to have someone ya know," he explained.
"You're right you don't," Mo explained.
"And…." Scott scolded his girlfriend Mo who pouted "Mo…did you forget someone?"
Mo blinked her eyes owlish "I'm sorry Scotty," she pouted.
"And….?"
"And….ummm—"
"Were you planning on telling me that Stella was going to Hawaii in her birthday?"
"Well yeah but, I wanted to wait until Stella said it was okay with it,"
"Stella?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay with it?"
"With….?"
"Scott coming with us?"
"Only if he wants to go Mo. I'm not gonna force Scott to go with us just because you two are a couple again,"
Mo pouted bowing her head "I know….I just thought it would be a nice vacation for all of us together only if you want too," she murmured.
Scott shifted uncomfortable "Only if Stella is okay with that babe," he pointed out.
"Stella?"
"Yea?"
"Can Scott come with us?"
Stella looked up for a moment "I don't know do you want to go Scott?"
"I mean only if you're okay with that Stella,"
"I'm fine with it, I just wanted to make sure you're okay with it, I don't want to force you to go just because Mo asked you too,"
"No, no, I want to go it's just—"
"….just what?"
Scott gave a sad smile "I usually spend my spring break with Ray that's all…it's a little weird …that we're not going to be in vacation together that's all,"
Stella stared at Scott for a long moment, an idea popped thru her mind.
"You really want him to go, don't you?"
"Nah….of course not," Scott denied this "I mean don't get me wrong you guys are awesome, I made new friends it's just…Ray and I we—we grew up together we're practically brothers ya know…and I know you guys don't get along with each other at all he gave you a hard time since you first arrived to school," he pointed out.
"That is true…he has been giving us a hard time…" Mo agreed with her boyfriend.
Stella grew very quiet which worried Liv a lot.
"Stella?"
"Yeah?"
"You, okay?'
Stella grew a little uncomfortable, without her friends knowledge she wrote a letter to Ray privately.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," Stella began to say "So….Scott I have to ask you something?"
"Anything?"
"Would you like to come with us during spring break for my birthday trip to Hawaii cruise for a whole month? It would give us a chance to relax and uhhh we deserve a break from all the drama that's been happening in school don't you think?" Stella offered.
Scott stared at the girl "Fuck yes I would love to go," he exclaimed causing everyone to stare at him in shock causing him to cough awkwardly "I mean uhhh sure …I would love to go," he quickly added.
"Kind of thought so…" Stella began to say grabbing her letter to Ray inside her inner pocket of her jacket "You know you don't have to hang out here you can go back to your friends if that's what you want?" she asked.
"Really?"
"Yeah we're just hanging out here in the band room there's no band practice today,"
"Oh okay cool," Scott began to say kissing Mo on the forehead "See you later babe,"
"Bye Scotty,"
Scott grabbed his stuff heading upstairs where Stella widen her eyes in horror remembering something "WAIT SCOTT!"
"Yeah?'
"Hold on a second let me walk you up, I need to talk to you" Stella began to say giving a look to Mo who was about to come with "Alone Mo, I need to talk to Scott alone," she quickly added causing Mo to pout and sat down.
"Yeah sure," Scott nodded at this as they walked to the elevator "So uh what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked.
Stella looked around making sure neither of their friends were watching grabbing a letter from her pocket "Here?"
Scott raised his eyebrow at her "Uhhh—"
"It's not for you?"
"It's not?"
"No it's not…it's for…uh Beech,"
Scott blinked his eyes owlish "Uhhh—"
"Listen I know this is probably the weirdest thing that I ever did which I have no idea why I even thought about it in the first place but—as much as I love you and Mo as a couple…it made me feel bad about the way you and Beech broke things off as best friends. He shouldn't make you choose between Mo and him. It should've been equal between friends and the girlfriend—but I know how much you love Mo and Beech being your best friend should've been supportive not against it. If he was really your best friend, he would've been happy for you…so…I'm giving him the last ticket that my parents bought. They bought 12 tickets. The other 10 was for everyone—except the two tickets. I was already going to invite you to come with us but—the last ticket is for him. I can tell you miss him and don't tell me you don't miss him because I can tell you really, really miss him and trust me losing your best friend is like the worst feeling then losing someone you love trust me….so I have 3 conditions it's in the letter. You tell him I have 3 conditions, and he can go," Stella explained.
Scott P.O.V.
I stared at Stella shell shocked "You-you-you serious," I gawked at her causing Stella to nod at this "Why-why?"
Stella shrugged at this "I don't know I just…been thinking about a lot of things lately and I don't want you guys to regret not being each other lives just because of Mo. I know you love Mo but, Mo should've told you not to pick between her and Ray. That's not what a girlfriend does. A girlfriend should be supportive and be friends with whoever their boyfriend/girlfriend is friends with. And I know Mo isn't popular which I'm sure that's probably a Beech thing to say but, if you really, really love someone he should be happy for his best friend and it seems to me you picked Mo over your best friend when you guys been best friends since you were kids and that's not something you can cut someone off over a girl even if it's about Mo," she explained.
"Stella…"
"No listen I been in a relationship where my last boyfriend had me pick between him and my family and guess who I picked?"
"Your boyfriend?"
"Hell no, I picked my family. As much as my parents weren't supportive like they're supposed to be but, we talked. We talked about a lot of things this past summer and now we're closer than ever and it made me think about how you guys broke it off as best friends. I don't want that. I want you two to make up and best friends again. And no, I'm not going to have him in the band no matter how matter how good he is in the guitar or singing or whatever. He needs to grow up not everything is black and white it's probably one of the reasons why either of us get along with each other but, I know deep, deep, deep down in his stubborn hard headed heart of his he misses you too he just won't admit it right now because he's acting he's right when we both know he's just being a stubborn arse, don't tell him I said that but, think about it…just …if you really, really want him to go he needs to follow those 3 conditions that I have," Stella explained.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive,"
"I thought you hate him"
Stella snorted at this "I don't hate him I just don't appreciate being bullied over something that I believed in. It's not my fault that I'm good in the guitar and sing, rap, or whatever I been always been into music I wasn't going to let anyone stop me from following my dream and I'm not going to pretend to be someone that I'm not which includes going against Beech," she pointed out.
"Wow…"
"Yeah.."
"A-are—are you sure?"
"Yes but, let me ask you something,"
"Antyhing?"
"Do you want me to invite him to come?"
"I—"
"Don't tell me or lie to me and say you don't want him to go when we both know you do,"
"…How can you possibly know that"
"Scotty boy I may've not grew up in Texas but, I know how it feels to lose a best friend. Trust me I lost a friend from moving to one place to another because my dad's in the Airforce but, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to lose a friend. I don't want you to regret that," Stella pointed out.
I gulped nervously staring at the letter "Can I be honest with you?"
"Of course,"
"And you won't tell Mo?"
"No, unless it's a bad thing,"
"No no it's not a bad thing I just…you know I love Mo,"
"Of course,"
"But, sometimes I wish …."
"Yeah…"
"That Mo and Ray can get along for my sake since they both care about me. It would be nice that my best friend and my girlfriend would get along with each other,"
"Is that what you want,"
"More than anything but, Ray doesn't—"
"Doesn't like Mo?"
"No it's not that it's more like….we're from different circles since I was—"
"Popular?"
"Yeah,"
"And Mo isn't—"
"Well she's more like—smart group but, ever since she joined the band she's more open, she finally told her parents about her band and everything but, not—"
"About you two as a couple,"
"No she did she told her mom,"
"Uh huh but, not her dad,"
"No….that's the …problem on my part…I just…feel like I'm a big secret on her part,"
"I'm sure that's not true her dad is just very traditional,"
"Yeah that's what she told me I mean her mom is really sweet but, I wish I can date Mo in front of her dad without her hiding me as her boyfriend,"
"Yeah I know…Mo's dad is very against her dating boys,"
Scott snorted "Tell me about it. It took her a long time for her to reconsider going out with me?"
"How did you two go out anyway?"
Scott shrugged "She tutored me in English I'm not exactly a Shakespeare fan,"
"And Mo?"
"She says she's not but, I know she is. She loves Pride and Prejudice the whole forbidden love thing and she's a big fan of Romeo and Juliet,"
"Ah…"
"Yeah but, yeah I'll uh ask him,"
"Really I thought you said you didn't want him to go,"
"…You were right?"
"About?"
"About me missing Ray as my best friend. We used to do everything together?"
"And now?"
"It's complicated I'm—I've been trying to talk to him but, he won't listen to me?"
"Maybe…try a different approach?"
"How? I tried everything?'
"Try the letter and—" Stella began to say grabbing her phone "Give me his number?"
"For?"
"Just give me his number?"
"Okay….wait what are you going to—" I began to say leaving Stella to dial a text to Ray to meet me at our original spot causing me to stare at her in horror "What you do?"
"Trust me he'll go. Good luck talking to him though,"
"Uhh thanks I'ma need it,"
"Sure,"
Once I was inside then paused "Hey Stella,"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks?"
"For?"
"For being a good friend and being you,"
Stella gave a smile "No problem, Scott," she explained as she gave a wave heading to the band room while I headed upstairs holding my breath seeing Ray about to enter the elevator pausing for a moment.
"Hey?"
Ray continues the silent treatement.
"Did you give me this text?"
Scott looked at the text since that's Stella's number.
"No, that was Stella,"
Ray blinked his eyes owlish "Yamada? How did she get my number,"
"Uhhhh she wanted us to talk,"
Ray frowned "About?"
"….For us to talk?"
"…There's nothing for us to talk about. You made your choice and I made mine,"
"Ray don't be like that,"
"Why? You did,'
"I love her!"
"More than me? Since we grew up together, we're practically brothers!" Ray screamed at me.
"I know! But, I love Mo! And I was so tired of you bullying her causing me to choose between you two I can't do that Ray. I can't…."
"You already did,"
"RAY!"
"WHAT?!"
Nobody's P.O.V.
"Here?!" Scott ran after Ray giving him a letter who frowned at this "It's from Stella. Your turn to turn the ball," he explained walking away leaving Ray to punch the wall in frustration causing a blonde girl which was Liv to jump a little.
"Ray?"
Ray closed his eyes not wanting to deal with this "Not now…."
"You—okay?"
"I'm fine,"
"…"
"I can't deal with this," Ray huffed walking away leaving Liv to frown, finding a letter recognizing Stella's handwriting biting her bottom lip nervously noticing Ray forgot his backpack and put the letter inside without his knowledge until he came back noticing Liv was there "Sorry I forgot my backpack," he quickly added.
"It's fine…." Liv began to say grabbing a lemonade sipping it slowly "You look stressed out?"
"….Just a bit,"
"Are you mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Well …you wouldn't return my calls….or grams…"
Ray stared at his long lost twin sister who happened to be one of the lemon heads; usually he would say something but, after the shell shock of the news that he learned from his parents which turned out they're his aunt and uncle from his dad's side who happened to be in jail—he didn't know how to feel about everything. He's been holding a lot of his feelings inside not wanting to deal with it; he doesn't talk about his feelings to anybody except one; his best friend Scott and he's not even in his life anymore which was kind of a problem since he's missing him but, he won't admit to anyone.
"I just been busy,"
"Oh….I mean I get it…I was shocked too…when grams told me…and dad confirmed it…he said that you were uhhh with our relatives he just didn't know it was his estrange brother and wife of his,"
"Oh…."
"Yeah …"
"How did uh …your dad I mean our dad went to jail?'
"Oh…he uh did some bad things when I was a kid…Grams doesn't talk about it,"
"Ah…"
"Yeah…"
"Look I know I've been M.I.A. towards you and Grams it's just a lot for me to process everything,"
"No, no I get it,"
"You do?"
"Yeah I mean I would've felt the same way which I do…it's just…I always wanted a sibling…I just didn't know it would be with you as my brother I mean?'
"That makes two of us…it would explain a few things but, I never …connected the dots before so…"
"Right…right…"
"So you uh dropped something and I put it in your backpack?"
Ray raised his eyebrow at his long time twin looking thru his backpack and found the letter from Yamada "Did you know about this?"
Liv looked confuse "About what?"
"That Yamada gave me a letter?"
"No I didn't even know she wrote you a letter to be honest but, she has been acting a little weird today so ….I don't know?"
"In what way?"
"She's been quiet ever since she told us she's going to Hawaii Mo and her just got into an argument about the whole thing?"
"About?"
"Mo was basically saying that Stella should have a boyfriend, and it made Stella upset,"
"Why would she care?"
"Who?"
"Mo?"
"I don't know it's—I guess she thought it would help but, it made things worse because she dragged me and Wen into it?"
"Why?"
"I don't know,"
Ray sighed in annoyance in response.
Liv stared at her long-time brother/twin "So…."
"So…."
"Are you going to read it?"
"Read what?"
"The letter that Stella gave you. I think it's kind of sweet,"
Ray snorted at this "Yamada and I aren't even in relationship Liv,"
"I know but, I still think it's sweet, I always thought you two were a cute couple,"
"It's not happening Liv,"
"….I know I just think you two would be a cute—"
"We're not a couple Liv so don't push it,"
"I wasn't going too,"
"Good…because what kind of sister would you be to push your long time twin and brother into a relationship that it's not going to happen,"
"You don't know that"
"And how would you know?"
"You never know unless you read the letter,"
"Why is it so important to you,"
"Well…from what I know you and Scott broke up as best friends,"
"Yeah, because he picked Mo over me,""They love each other Ray, I mean you would've felt the same way if you had a girlfriend,"
"Yeah but, I wouldn't—" Ray stopped to realize that his sister/twin was right and made a frustration sigh "Damn it…"
"What?"
"Okay fine…I'll read it,"
"That's great,"
Ray stared at her for a long moment giving her a look which she noticed.
"O—oh you want me to—"
"No, no, no, I want you to be here I was just…wondering why you're not with your friends,"
"I needed some air and plus…I'm still upset with Mo,"
"Ahh…yeah…I get it,"
"Yeah so, I'm going to let you read your letter though. I should head back before they get worried," Liv began to say pausing for a moment "And for the record not all of us agree what Scott did ya know," she explained.
"What do you mean?" Ray asked.
Liv held her breath "I mean don't get me wrong Scott's great but, it's also your fault too,"
"How is that my fault that Scott picked Mo over me"
"Well, if you weren't such a bully-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa who side are you on?"
"No one. I'm just giving my opinion and FYI if you were really Scott's best friend you would've been happy for him and Mo being a couple, I mean why do you hate Mo so much,"
"I don't hate Mo,"
"Really it doesn't seem you like her,"
"I mean she's okay…?"
"Ray…."
"I don't hate Mo, she seems like a cool girl but, there's a lot of things that I don't agree to her opinion about the band,"
"Like what?"
"Well she was saying that Jules and Victoria singing was horrible,"
"….They are horrible,"
"Gee thanks,"
"Well, they are and even you agree to that, I know you do,"
"Scott and I made plans,"
"About-?"
"That we were going to rule the school,"
"Ruling the school while bullying others by making them feel worthless or not have a voice isn't someone that people will follow Ray,"
"…how would you know that"
"Take it from someone whose been bullied by Jules her whole life, Victoria barley does anything but, Jules she's horrible,"
"Wait what," Ray turned around to his sister "Jules bullies you?"
"Well yeah—"
"Since when?"
"Uhh, I don't know since forever,"
Ray looked surprised by this "She has?"
"Yeah, a lot of people don't even like her,"
"Because of the bullying,"
"No because she's just plain mean. Victoria she's a sweetheart people may think she's dumb but, she's smart,"
Ray raised his eyebrow at his twin sister "Oh really?"
"Yeah, she's really smart, especially in the science department,"
Ray frowned at this "I never knew that"
"That's because you never ask her. Did you even ask how Scott felt when you made Mo think that Scott cheated on her with Jules which was a douche move btw,"
Ray thought about what Liv said and grew quiet.
"Yeah it was a douche move…I guess I never really considered how he'd feel about it…he even scolded me over that,"
"Yeah because you weren't being supportive isn't best friends supposed to be happy for their best friend when they fall in love with their partner,"
"Yeah…they are…"
"I mean if you had a girlfriend, I'm sure Scott would've been more than happy for you and your girlfriend whoever she was,"
"Don't tell me you're trying to hook me and Yamada up?"
"Of course not,"
"Liv…"
"Yeah?"
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I don't know…you never asked me,"
Ray sighed tiredly "So what do you expect me to do? Forgive Scott he practically quit the band,"
"I never said it was going to easy but, if you guys talked about it …maybe he'll hear your out if you guys talk about it,"
"Guys don't talk about our feelings Liv I never talked about my feelings,"
"Well maybe now would be the best time especially since me and you just learned that we're—that we're—"
"Twins?"
"Yeah?"
"Who happened to learn that my parents aren't my parents but, my estrange uncle and aunt who can't conceived and kidnapped me as a baby when mom was alive leaving you with Grams while dad was in jail?"
"Well—"
"Or the fact this whole time I felt an outsider and never considered that I had a twin and felt alone the whole time—"
"Welll—"
"And this whole time you've been in front of me without even us knowing that we're twins,"
"….Yeah that pretty much sums it up,"
Ray scoffed at this "No one knows about this you know that not even Scott,"
"I thought he would've been the first one you'll call,"
"He usually is…"
"And now…."
"…..I don't' even know,"
"Ray I know you miss him,"
"No I don't,"
"Liar…"
"Come on we both know you miss Scott don't be stubborn,"
~*~End of Chapter One~*~
Whooohoo! I'm finally done with chapter one. I know, I know it's a lot of changes in each chapter I wanted to make it longer than usual. There's a lot of backstories between Ray and Liv being long lost twins. How did they find out? How are they feeling from the shock news from their family? There's a lot of unanswered questions between the group but, we're about to find out very sooooooon! and yes Scott and Stella are going to become close not like a couple close but, as best friends close that Mo might feel jealous but, she shouldn't be? You're going to see Mo act like a bad person but, not really? when I saw the movie of Lemonade Mouth I always wanted to write between the band aftermath when Scott picked Mo over his best friend Ray and their band? It must've took a lot of courage for Scott to do that.
