Chapter 6
Will's POV
"Somethings up with Calena," Alex says over the phone.
"What do you mean? Is she alright?"
"I think. I mean she didn't seem all there today. I'm kind of worried," this is his first real relationship at age 17 so it's understandable that he's really nervous about it all.
"Maybe she's just nervous buddy. I'm sure if something were wrong she'd tell us right?"
"You'd think. We are her soulmates, she would have to find some safety and trust in telling us."
"Definitely. She'll tell us when the time is right if somethings wrong."
"I hope so. I don't want her to suffer through it alone."
"You and me both." The two of us talk until we both have to leave for our respected games.
"Good luck brother." Alex says and I say the same before we hang up. It's weird how we're sharing the same girl for the rest of our lives. I mean I imagined sharing everything with him I never thought it would literally be everything. I mean we had our assumptions when our marks came in the same and at the same time and place. I still have that fear that she'll love Alex more than she'll love me but it's something I'm going to have to get over.

William: good luck tonight Sötis. You'll do amazing!
Calena😍: thanks. You too!

I frown as I reread the message from her. Something is definitely off! I close my phone and put it in my pocket before picking up my hockey bag and going to meet the other boys in the lobby before boarding a bus to the arena.

Calena's POV
The biggest show I've ever done is about to start and to say I'm nervous is an unstatement. I'm excited to have my siblings and friends here. They're the reason I am here, I've worked so hard and pushed myself because they've been so supportive. It was my siblings that encouraged me to audition for this. If it wasn't for them then I wouldn't have been able to meet the amazing people I have.
"Are you ready Cal?" Julianne asks bouncing over to me. She makes the perfect Sandy.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I swallow down my nerves to give her a smile.
"Don't worry, it'll be amazing. Once your first scene is over you'll be having a blast!" She gives me a hug and I ask where the rest of the cast is. She calls them over and I get one of the people backstage to take a photo of us together. We still have the cast party and everything but I want to get it now because I have to zoom back to Toronto after this.
The director comes over a little while longer and tells us to get into place for the first scene which is Jessie J singing back stage as she walks around.
"This is for you grandma," I whisper before we begin.
By the end of the show I am full of adrenaline but; way too close to tears. I hold it together long enough to get through the finale. As soon as the attention is off me I start balling. Carlos pulls me into a hug and rocks me back and forth softly.
"You're okay, it's alright." He says softly.
"She's gone and I didn't even say goodbye." I cry as I hear the director say 'we're out'.
"You're okay Cally. She knows you wanted to but couldn't because you were living your dream and doing what you were meant to do. She wouldn't want you to feel like this." I feel so many more bodies wrap around Carlos and I sandwiching us.

Will's POV
When I get home from the game I shower and then lay down in the bed. Tj and I are sharing a room with Josh down the hall.
"Hey man, do you mind if I watched Grease Live?" I ask.
"Not at all! I'm actually thinking of going with Josh and grabbing some food. Want anything?"
"Umm, a burger please." He nods and is out the door again. I find it on the tv and when it shows up on the screen 'Summer Nights' is playing. I can't help but stare at Calena in her little Rizzo outfit. She looks absolutely adorable.
About half way through the show the boys show up with food and they sit down to finish watching it with me. After everything fades out there's a in memory of a Margaret Penner 1933-2016. Loving grandmother, mother, wife and friend.
Calena's grandmother passed away and she didn't tell us. We could've tried to comfort her or something.

William: Hey, did you watch Grease yet?
Alex: I am almost done it. Dad, Mikey and Nathan are watching it with me. Don't know how I got the "super buddies" to watch it though.
William: I figured out why Calena wasn't herself.
Alex: Why?
William: Her grandmother passed away. It says at the end in loving memory of Margaret Penner.
Alex: Shit... 😢 Why didn't she tell us?
William: Your guess is about as good as mine.

Calena's POV
~ Back at Pearson ~
I land and make my way out of the plane. I look around for my two blonds in the crowd and when I spot them I take off running towards them. The tears running down my face. Alex notices me first and wraps me up in a hug.
"I'm so sorry.." He whispers kissing my head. I feel Will behind me and I sob into Alex's shirt.
"How did you know?"
"We watched Grease." I look up at him and he wipes my eyes.
"Really?" I look between him and Will. They both nod and I kiss his cheek before turning to Will. I give him a tight hug.
"Hey, I missed you." I whisper as his hand comes to rub my back. He kisses my forehead.
"I missed you too. How about we go back to our house and we'll make some food and cuddle." I nod and smile gratefully at him.
"You guys are the best.. Will you come and get my bags with me?"
"Of course." I grab both of their hands and the three of us walk to baggage claim.

Back at the house we end up just ordering a bunch of sushi and fall into a cuddle pile.
"So, I have a question and I really hope I don't freak you guys out by asking this."
"Go ahead darling." Will says playing with some strands of my hair.
"Will you guys come with me to the funeral for support? I understand if you guys don't want to." I close my eyes relaxing into Will's touch. I feel Alex grab my hand as he snuggles closer to me.
"When is it?" He asks mouth pressed against my sweater clad stomach.
"On the fourth."
"I'll be able to come." He nods against my stomach almost nuzzling into me.
"I can't. I'm so sorry, I know how much this means to you." Will kisses my forehead and I smile at him.
"I totally understand. Hockey comes first, it's your future and you didn't know my grandma. I 100% understand."
"Why am I so lucky?" I shrug.
"Not sure." I crack a smile ruffling his hair.
