Chapter 13
A rush of prickles sped throughout my body as I yawned deeply and turned to face the back of the couch. Bringing my knees closer to my body I softly smiled at the sound of Kati’s giggle in my mind. I locked my eyes closed determine to get more sleep before the band went out to do something that night. Taking a deep breath I bit my lip playing every event that happened last night in my head. Noting that all I had been thinking about since last night was Kati’s beautiful smile and her deep blue eyes, I convinced myself that everything Joe said about Kati and I was true. I was head over heals for her, and even though I didn’t want to be…I couldn’t stop it. Kevin’s faint voice whispered in the background as I sunk my nose deeper into the satin pillow of the couch.
“I don’t know, I’m just worried about him,” Kevin whispered to someone in the room.
“Well, if he really likes her I think he’ll be fine, he can handle himself,” Faye softly said. It took me a little while to figure out that they were talking about me.
“But what about last time, he was incredibly hurt, and I don’t think I can see him like that again, and I barley did anything to help, if only I watched out for him more maybe I could ha..,” Kevin was interrupted by Faye as I heard him sigh and relax onto the chair next to me.
Suddenly I don’t like where this conversation is going
“Kev, it’s not your fault, it’s just…” Faye’s sweet voice paused as I could envision her running her finger through Kevin’s hair while she leaned up against the back of the chair.
Don’t say it, Don’t say it, Don’t say it…
“It’s just that Miley wasn’t right for Nick,” Faye continued
Too late…
I cringed at the name. For one night I had forgotten all about Miley and what she had done to me, the lies she told me, the things she called me. Right then I wanted to break down completely and sprint out of the room. I couldn’t have one night without thinking about Miley while I was probably tossed out of her mind the minute we left from the ending show of the tour. Water encased my eyes and I quickly shut them hoping the thoughts would be scribbled out of my mind forever. Even the thought of Miley strangled every muscle in my body, and yet I could never get her out of my mind that is until I saw Kati.
“Yeah, but what if Kati is not right for Nick either, what if she is just like Miley and will only use Nick, then ditch him, what if…” Kevin’s whisper faded. I could feel his eyes on me and I froze, determined to not let them know I was awake and listening.
“Okay, number one, Kati isn’t Miley, we’re not talking about some power craving teenage girl that doesn’t care for anything or anyone, and number two, let Nick take a chance, if he feels this is right then let him go with it. Let him get to know her, and maybe just maybe, something good will happen…I have faith in Nick,” I felt her eyes on me too, and I kind of wished I was asleep, not hearing any of this. Although Faye was trying to help me, the conversation only made me think of how little chance of actually hitting it off with Kati…at all. I crunched my eyelids together and prayed that they would stop looking at me so I could move again. I wasn’t loving having to freeze like a popsicle just so they could observe the pathetic boy they were talking about.
“I guess you’re right…and I think Nick deserves to have a night or two without thinking about Mil...”
You never ever leave my mind
My sweet, sweet Madeline
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I'm alive
And I can barely make a sound
Whenever you're around
You can find me hiding in the crowd
Next time you come to town
Every time I want to say hello
Every time I want to stay I go
Can't ever find the words to let you know
Sometimes you plague my min..
I hesitantly swept up my phone from the side table keeping my body facing the back of the couch and clicking the “Open Message” choice on my iphone to stop the music.
“Ni...Nick? Did you hear all that?” Kevin asked I heard him stand up and walk closer to me. I tucked my face farther into the pillow as I cradled my arm up to my chest and glanced at the text message on the screen. I felt my muscles drain when I read a number I didn’t name on the screen. Smiling slightly as I figured it was Kati’s number, I flipped over the phone so Kevin wouldn’t see the name on the screen- otherwise I would have to answer questions, which wasn’t exactly on the top of my ‘want to do’ list.
“Yea, uh, I have to take this…” I said springing up from the couch almost colliding with Kevin. I squeezed past Kevin and Faye speed walking across the cream carpet into the third bedroom of the hotel suite. Quickly swinging the door closed, I collapsed on the bed and held my phone up to stare at the message with unending excitement, but suddenly I felt every speck of energy wisp out of me when I read what was written.
Hey Nick-er-roo,
Kati won’t text you. I tried all morning to get her to text or call you or something…she won’t and she’s trying to distract me from nagging her. Sad for her, her plan is not working since I got a hold of her phone. This is her number and I suggest you call her cause at this rate she’s not going to call you. Adios my famous amigos.
- GABBY
I like Gabby in all but that isn’t what I wanted to hear. If fact, I was a little irritated at the fact that she actually told that Kati didn’t want to text me. My energy was completely drained at the thought. Being rejected in a text message by a completely different person wasn’t exactly ego boosting. I crunched my eyes shut and drew in air to my lungs attempting the refuel my body. Relaxing my arm that was holding my phone, I flung it down on the bed beside my num body. Attempting to fall asleep again and forget about everything, I embraced the silence of the room…until I heard ringing. My eyes snapped open.
What was that?
Lifting my body off the mattress I looked at my phone to see I had pressed ‘Call Number’ on the open text message.
Oh, crud…
My stomach twisted as my head felt as if it was filled with air, making me dizzy.
How could I do something so stupid?
Suddenly, the faint click of Kati’s phone being picked up shook me out of my trance as I jerked the phone up to my ear. A round of faded squeals sounded in the back ground as I could hear Kati softly breathing.
“Hey…Kati?” I asked wondering if she was waiting for me to say something. I bit my lip wishing I could hang up, but my arm wouldn’t budge to move my phone away from my ear.
“Hey Nick,” Kati lightly said. The sound of her voice echoed through my body as my stomach churned once again. I kind of wished my stomach would stop that. Another round of light squeals filled the background. I figured she was around other girls, but it was kind of awkward to know that they were listing to me talk to Kati. Suddenly another voice echoed from the back ground, breaking the silence that Kati and I had sunk into.
“Girls? What are we do…” The phone snapped shut and the line was dead silent.
Water filled my eyes slightly before I shook my head and leaped off the bed to jerk the door of the room open.
Kevin is right, she’s just another Miley
