Chapter 6
**Isaac** “Hay Tay give me a C,” I said tuning my guitar. “Ok,” he said giving me a C on his keyboard. I finally got it, “Thanks,” I said putting my guitar on it’s stand. “No prob,” he said walking backstage. We were at the sound check for our concert we we’re doing in 2 hours at the Tulsa Plaza. “Hay, Whoa,” someone said from behind me. I turned around to see AJ standing infront of me. “Oh hi,” she said . “Hi,” I said a little surprised. “What are you guys doing here?” Tay asked Jazmine. “We’re here for our sound check,” she answered. “Oh so are we,” he told her. “So you guys are playing here also?!?” I said to AJ. “Yah, we’re like the last ones to play though,” she answered. “Oh,” was all I could say. I watched her get set up, she was pretty. “No!” I told myself. “She’s saposed to be your enemy, anyways she’s like 3 years younger then you,” I told myself again. I walked over to my guitar and picked it up. I was strumming a song that I had written a few weeks ago when I heard a voice behind me singing. I turned around and saw Jazz singing a song I’d never heard before it was probably something new they had written. It was pretty good. She was on her keyboards now, and she was really good at that also. I could tell that even Tay was impressed. BG was at her drums keeping the beat and she was good also. Cazz was good on Bass to. Then AJ went into a solo and MAN was she good! I was surprised she could play that well. “Wow, that was good,” Zac said after they had finished. “Thanks,” Cazz said not sure why he had paid them that complement sense they were saposed to be rivals. I finished up and was getting ready to leave when I noticed that Tay and Jazz weren’t anywhere to be seen. ************************************* **Tay** I hid behind a stage prop and watched Jazmine as she was doing something with an acoustic guitar. I heard her strumming something, it sounded pretty good. She started to sing something I couldn’t quite make out the words. I moved closer and hid behind a curtain. “I could always be anything when you where here.....But now you’re gone and I’m all alone......I’ll always remember you.....Forever and always you will be in my heart......For all time,” she softly sang. She sounded so sad, like she was going through a hard time in her life. I decided to say something so I walked from behind the curtain. “That was a pretty song,” I said. She looked up at me surprised. “You...you heard that,” she said setting her guitar in her lap. “Yah it was really good, but it was sad,” I said sitting down beside her. “Yah well I wrote it when my brother died,” she told me. “Oh I’m sorry I...” I really didn’t know what to say. “It’s ok, he died almost a year ago, He was almost 17 and he was coming home from work, He was in a hurry because I had asked him to come to my softball tournament, and he thought he could beat the train but....” she trailed off tears in her eyes. I was speechless. I had no idea what to say. She was trying really hard not to cry. “It was my fault, If I hadn’t...” “No it’s not your fault,” I said cutting her off. “It’s no ones fault, he didn’t know and nether did you, So don’t blame yourself for this cause it’s not your fault,” I finished. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. I wrapped my arms around her and held her until the tears had subsided. “Thank you no one has ever really cared to even say anything to me before,” she said looking at me. I looked into her crystal blue eyes. They were beautiful. “No problem,” I said smiling. She smiled back. She had the most gorgeous smile. I looked deep into her eyes, and before I knew it our lips had meet in a soft kiss. Chills went through my body. I had never felt this way about anyone before. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds but it felt like forever, which was fine with me. She blushed so did I. We just stood there looking into eachothers eyes until I heard Zac yelling “TAYLOR! where are you?” I helped her up and we walked back onto the stage. ********************************************** Chapter 7 **Cazzam** I turned around to see Jazz and Taylor walk in from backstage. I decided to ask Jazz what was going on when the guys left. She walked over to me a dazed look on her face. Now I really wanted to know what had happened. Zac give me an “I have no idea” look. “Ok well we better go before anymore fans get here,” Isaac said. There were already atleast 50 girls and guys waiting outside the Plaza. “Ok,” Taylor said turning off his keyboard and grabbing his backpack. Before he left he handed something to Jazz, it looked like a note of some kind. After the guys had left I walked over to her keyboard where she was reading the note he had given her. She had folded it up and stuffed it in her pocket before I had gotten over there. “Hay what was that all about?” AJ asked looking confused. “Nothing,” she answered. “Oh yah you were gone for half an hour with Taylor Hanson our biggest enemy and you say nothing is going on,” AJ exclaimed. “Well I’m sorry but I just don’t really think it’s any of your business,” she snapped. That took us all by surprise. I really didn’t know what to say so BG said something for us. “I can’t believe you just said that! We have been friends for 8 years and now you want to throw that away just because of some stuck up snot ball!” she exclaimed. “What! I don’t believe you’d think....” she started. “So nothing really happened?” AJ asked. “No,” she lied. “Ok I thought....sorry Jazz,” BG said putting her arm around her shoulders. “It’s ok,” she answered. I could tell that something was up but I didn’t want everyone mad at anyone so I kept my mouth shut. “What about that note he handed you?” AJ asked. “Well um...It was a stupid put down thing,” she answered lying again. “That shit head!” BG exclaimed. “Hay guys we need to finish the sound check,” I told them. “Yah you’re right,” Jazz said looking relived. We finished the sound check and went back to the hotel to get ready for the concert which was in less then 2 hours. ********************************** **Jazmine** I walked into my room in the hotel and closed the door. I sat on the bed and pulled out the note that Taylor had given me, it read: Jazzy, I want to see you again. Meet me at the Tulsa park which is very close to your hotel, at 6:00. I’ll be waiting for you at a large willow tree just inside the park entrance. Tay I folded the note and put it back into my pocket. It was 5:30 now so I would leave the hotel in about 15 minutes. I changed into my performance outfit which was a pair of bellbottoms with fringe around the bottom and a brown stripe going up the side and a short black CK baby tee that went a little above my waist with white CK lettering, and brown Sketchers. I kept my hair down. I was planing on going straight to the concert after I meet Taylor. I walked out into the living room and grabbed my backpack. “Where are you going?” AJ asked sitting on the couch. “I’m going for a walk, I’ll meet you at the concert,” I told her. “OK,” she said turning her attention back to the TV. I was relived she didn’t ask anymore questions. I didn’t want any of them to know what had happened or what was about to happen. Not yet anyway. Because I knew that they still hated them even though we had fun last night I don’t think their minds can be changed that easily. I walked into the lobby and out towards the park. It only took about 2 minutes to get there. I looked around for Tay and saw him standing by a large weeping willow tree. It had really thick branches, so thick that no one could see you if you were standing inside of it. I walked towards him. He was facing opposite of me so he didn’t know I was there yet. I walked up behind him and taped his shoulder. He spun around looking surprised, but he smiled when he saw me. “Hi,” I said smiling. “Hi,” he said back. He pulled back the vines of the willow and gestured for me to go in, so I did with him following. It was actually really nice so isolated form everything else. “I go here whenever I need to be alone, I’m the only one that I know of that ever comes here,” he told me. “Yah it’s seems really peaceful,” I said sitting on the ground and looking up at the top of the tree which was pretty high. Small beams of light seeped through the branches just enough to be able to see. He sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. I rested my head on his chest not wanting the moment to ever end. It was so peaceful, no screaming fans, no annoying reporters, no one to bother me, just me and Taylor and the peace and quiet. My thoughts were interrupted by Taylor clearing his throat. I looked up at him, he was smiling. “What?” I asked. “Nothing, I was just thinking,” he said. “About what?” “Well...” he brushed a strand of my blond hair out of my face. “I’ve never meet anyone like you before, I mean at first I thought you were a stuck up snot ball, but now....now I see that you’re just a normal girl who has problems and needs someone just as much as I do, you are very pretty and have the most awesome personality, and I like that about you,” he finished. I didn’t know what to say no one has ever said anything like that to me before in my entire life. “I just hope you feel the same way about me as I do you,” he said stroking my cheek. “I..I do,” I said. He smiled. We sat there our foreheads pressed together for a few minutes just staring into eachothers eyes then our lips meet in a soft passionate kiss. **Is this corney or what!** It was like nothing I had ever felt before. I kissed him back. I let him slip is tongue into my mouth. We kissed for what seemed like hours even though it was only like 10 minutes. “We’d better go,” I said after we finally broke apart. “Yah you’re right,” he said helping me up. We walked out of our hiding place and headed towards the entrance of the park. “Um does anyone else know that we’re seeing eachother?” he asked me. “No, I haven’t even told them about this afternoon,” I answered. “Oh,” he said grabbing my hand. “What about you,” I asked. “No I haven’t told anyone yet eather,” he answered. We walked the rest of the way to the Plaza in silence. We went around back so we wouldn’t get mobbed. He let go of my hand just before we got to the dressing-rooms. He gave me a quick peck on the cheek and went off to find his brothers. I walked into our dressing room to have AJ, Cazz, and BG sitting there staring at me. “What?” I asked. “Nothing, where were you anyways?” Cazz asked. “I went for a walk and it took longer then I thought,” I lied. “Oh well are you ready to perform?” AJ asked. “Yep,” I answered as we walked out of the dressing room. We were saposed to play after Hanson who was playing now. We watched in silence until it was our turn to go on. “And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for the hot new teen group from Atlanta Georgia...UNLIMITED!” the announcer said as we ran onto the stage. “Hay everyone are you ready to party!” BG exclaimed. There was a deafening YES from the crowd. “Ok,” she laughed. “I’m gonna introduce you to the band, on Bass Guitar we have Cazzam!” BG exclaimed. The crowd screamed as Cazz waved her guitar. “And on drums our very own Batgyrl!” Cazz exclaimed. The crowd was even louder as she banged on her drums. “And on lead guitar AJ!” I exclaimed. She played a small peace on her guitar, The crowd went wild! “And on keyboards Jazmine!” AJ exclaimed. The crowd was ecstatic I gave one of my award winning smiles. We played about 6 of our songs and then walked of stage towards where we would be signing autographs. I looked around for Taylor but couldn’t find him so I sat down beside AJ and we started to sign autographs. After we were finished we hopped into an awaiting limo and took off towards the hotel. “Oh man that was awesome!” BG exclaimed. “Yah, and I can’t wait until we start recording our album,” AJ said smiling. “Yah that’s gonna be even more awesome,” I said smiling. We got to the hotel and really had to run there were like 50 screaming fans waiting. We got safely into the lobby to have Kathy and Mr.Hanson waiting for us. **Don’t you just love me for keeping you hanging!** ************************************************** Chapter 8 comming soon!
