okay guyz, here is a holiday treat for all of my readers. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
Kaitlin's POV
the guyz picked us up at seven PM. we are going to Margaritas. not my first choice but the food is good!
we were in the car on the way therea and here i was being nudged to death by one of the JOnas Brothers. this is something most girls would die for but if this poking game doesnt stop i think i'm gonna CRACK!
my mind kept going back to the article. i shouldnt be so hard on him, after all, he dosent realize he is doing it. me phone began to ring
"Hello?"
"Hi Kaitlin, this is Mr. Flats"
"Oh Hello"
"We need you and the girls to come in tonight. it is very busy and we are short on workers."
"uh,,,,,,, okay be right there"
"who was that?" julia asked taking a sip from her Dr. Pepper. "Flats. he wants us to work now" i said sadly. "are you serious?" julia replied dropping the nacho she was about to shove into her wide open mouth.
Joe's facial expression changed dramatically wehn i told the girls we are wanted at work. "here" i said as i gave joe $30 to pay for julias clairs and my dinner. "were just gonna walk down there. it is only two stores down." i said getting up and putting on my jacket. i gave joe a hug and waved to everyone else. "to work" i said with a sigh as me and the girls left the table and walked out of the restaurant.
i was surprized not to see "my favorite family" Mr. Negativity, Mrs. Atkinz, and their Joke of a son Sir cinnamon waffles without the cinnamon. Mr. Flats was right, ive never seen this place so packed in my entire life. "hey kaitlin you guyz got here fast" Mr. Flats said as i got on my apron. "yeah we were on a date with our friends two buildings over" i said with a sigh. i'd rather be with Mr. Nudgie than here. "oh you didnt have to come, really, you were on a date, i should have asked. " flats said with a trace of guilt in his voice. "oh no really we'd love to be here" i said but i knew it didnt sound very convincing. "no you guyz go back on your date, i think we can manage" me said and took my apron from me and walke dout of the kitchen.
i told the girls the FANTABULOUS news. we got our things and clocked out and made our way back to margaritas.
"excuse me, hav you seen three boys, dark hair, cute?" i aske d the woman at the front desk. "um, i think they just left. im sorry" she replied. i nodded. we were going to have to walk home. mark and my parents were going to vermont on a college interview.
it began to snow and the world around us grew colder by the minute. "half an hour to got" i said as i dodged puddles of slush along the sidewalk. the girls groaned. "i cant feel my face" i said. we began to stick out our thumbs so we could get a ride. the traffic was very heavy. a car beeped at us and i signalled the girls over. "excuse me but can we have a lift?" i asked. the window rolled down. out popped Kevin's face. "hey i thought you guyz had work?" he asked as big puffs of steam portruded out of his mouth. "yeah but when he heard that we were on a "date" he let us go" i answered. "oh, well hop in, we'll take you home." "thanks kev" i said as i shivered violently. i opened the door and slid in next to joe. "hey" i said as my teeth chattered. "hey, uh, since you dont have to work would you maybe want to see a movie?" he asked. i wasnt really feeling good but it was joe so i kind of had to say yes. "sure" i said pulling my jacket tighter in chance that i might warm up.
we got to the movies and decided to see P.S I Love You. i have wanted to see this movie for the longest time but i began coughing... a lot. so much i couldnt concentrate on anything. "kaitlin are you okay?" asked joe. i just stared at him. i felt too weak to say anything. he lifted his hand and put it to my forhead. "omg, kaitlin, your burning up. we should get you home" he said worriedly. " no im fine, really" i said but i knew he could tell i was lieing. "no, i am taking you home" "fine" i grumbled. i got up slowly. "kev im calling a cab and taking kaitlin home. she's not feeling well" i heard joe say. the ride wasnt too long. maybe fifteen minutes. i got home and went up to my room to lay down. "wheres your parents?" asked joe handing me a cup of water from the kitchen. "at a college thing with my brother" i managed to croak out. he nodded. "when will they get back?" "not until tomarrow morning" i said before slipping into a restless sleep.
i woke up feeling worse than yesterday. my head hurts, i cant see straight , my throat hurts and my nose is stuffy. joe is still at my house to take car of me, wich is really sweet. kevin nick and the girls came too. so now they are all downstairs while im up here hacking my brains out.
i could hear my parents downstairs now
mom- "what are you all doing here?"
Joe-" last night we all went out for dinner and movies and kaitlin got really sick, we dont know whats wrong with her. "
mom- "oh well lets go check on her."
i could hear the grief in my mothers voice.
"hunny?"
"yeah mom?"
"how are you feeling?"
"like i'm dying"
"well, im gonna take you to the doctors"
i nodded, got drussed into some pj's and slowly walked down the stairs. i went and got my jacket and walke dout the door with out saying anything to anyone. my mom must have asked joe to come because he followed my mom out of the house and into our car. i think i slept most of the way there. "kaitlin?" asked the nurse with the wild curly hair. i got up. so did my mom and joe followed. i sat down on the cold, hard table. "so tell me what seems to be the problem?" she asked taking a long hard look at how Crappy i looked. "i feel sick" what else was i supposed to say? "ha, well were gonna run some tests and see whats up. ill be right back" i nodded and she left the room
she took blood and stuff then she came back witht he results. "well im sorry to say that you have a serious case of Pnemonia and you are going to have to rest for two weeks in order to get better" i nodded unable to express myself in words.
when i got home i collapes on the large leather couch infront of the television. joe sat on the arm of the couch. kevina and the rest of the guyz went home. "im really sorry your so sick" said joe staring at me. "no, dont worry about it" i replied. "no you wouldnt be sick if we didnt take you to the IHOW" i just sighed and shook my head. "see ya in two weeks Joseph" i said before closing my eyes.
2 WEEKS LATER
i hadnt asked about the jonas brothers since two keeks ago. "hunny joe called this morning" said my mom as i got down the stairs. "okay thanks mom" i said as i took out my phone. i sent a tex seeing as my throat still hurt a little.
K- hey joe, its me kaitlin. my mom said u called 8)
i waited about fifteen minutes for a reply
J- yeah, are you feeling better?
K- yeah much, thanks for taking care of me
J- no problem
K- so where are you?
J- Newhampshire
my heart sank to just think that he wasnt even in the same state as me
K- O :( well, i have to go.... ttyl, maybe <3
how coul he have left without saying goodbye? well, today is christmas eve and i will be working today along with julia and clair. we are going in a t seven. we hare having some kind of christmas party where costumers pay five dollars to get in and we have a buffet and stuff like that. the best part is, is that we can wear whatever we want. NO STUPID UNIFORMS!! WHOO HOO!
my brother revved up his jeep signalling that he was ready and wanted us to get in the car. we put on some lip gloss and headded out the door
Mark's POV
the girls got into thte car and we started off to the IHOW. this was gonna be a X-mas party where anyone was welcome and of course i didnt have to cook anything, wich was pretty good for me seeing as i was the only cook going to be there tonight. Rick and Jim are out with their parents doing some last minute christmas shopping.
we pulled into the parking lot and i jumped out of the car to open the door for kaitlin clair and julia. i wouldnt have done this in the first place but my mom paid me to be polite. good ol' mom.
we walked in the doors of the IHOW and started mingling with our friends and family.
Julia's POV
ther seriously wanst that much to do here but there was going to be a Secret santa we have been setting up for a while and presents would be exchanged tonight so that would be the highlight of my evening. hopefully my secret santa is someone cool who got me something good. last year at our school we had a secret santa, and i got a present from Nelson Fisher, the nerd that coughs in your face and sneezes on your food at lunch. big turn off if you ask me. and you'll never guess what he got me. a box of kleenex. YUCK. one of them was even used!!!!!!! ever since then ive kinda been afraid of that kid.
Mr. Flats walked onto the Makeshift stage and picked up a microphone. "it is now time for our annual secret Santa gift exchange. if you would all gather round we can get this exchange underway." we did as we were told and he called off names, giving each person their gift. the most embarassing part was that you had to unwrap your gift infront of everyone and then your secret santa would reveal his/herself to you. "Julia Martin" he said picking up a beautifully wrapped gift. i unwrapped the parcel and inside was a beautiful charm bracelet. Mark turned out to be my secret santa. i thanked him and walked off the stage for the next person to be called.
Clair's POV
it was sooo sweet of mark to give julia that charm bracelet.
teb minutes later and my name was called. i pranced up the stage and took my present from mr. flats. i tore it open and inside were the most beautiful handmade mittens that were all different colors. i looked around to see if my gift giver was coming on stage but no one came on. then i realized who had given them to me. Mr. Flats.
Kaitlin's POV
i am sooo happy i am better from my whole Pnemonia thing. that really put a damper on things but now i am happy. "kaitlin jhonson" Flats said into the mic. i got up from my seat by the window and walked to the stage. a big hughe present was rolled out onto the platform. "oh,,,, uh...... wow!" i said as if the breath was taken out of me. "who did this?" i asked looking around the crowded room. clair walked onstage. "wow clair thanks!" i said giving her a hug. "dont thank me yet" she said droppin the hug. "well go on , open it!" she said giving me a push over to the overyly large present. i pulled off the big shiny red bow and slowly pulld away the paper. "Come On just tare the thing open!!!!!!!" my brother screamed "your not gonna save the paper!!!!!!! he yelled some more. wow that boy is anxious. i thought laughing a little. i started taring off the paper. throwing it everywhere. the big box fell open and insied was a walkie talkie. i knelt down and picked it up. "Hello?" i asked making sure to hold down the button. "uh one second" said a voice i did not recognize. a man walked on stage, about 6"2' and gave me a blindfold. i tied it around my head. "clair whats going on?" i asked as i sat on the floor of the stage. "i dont know, this isnt how i planned it!" she said ina frantic voice. i was totally confuzzled. what was going on? there was alot of commotion and gasps from the people in the room. "sit on this stool and please dont peek." said the unfamilliar voice i had heard on the walkie talkie. "okay" isaid as i sat down in the chair. people started screaming with glee but i had no idea what was going on. someone plced their hands on my shoulders and crouched down so they were most likely eye level with me and whispered into my ear "Merry Christmas"
AHHHHHHH This chapter is up just in time for the HOlidays!!!!! i hope you all have a good one! i love you and thank you for reading! there may be another chapter up tomarrow!
