The Trumpet And The Sax

Three. Beehave Guys, Stop Breaking The Fourth Wall

Halftime was almost here. Sure, enough I was still nervous. Cedric had the nerve to come down and sit next to me in the stands. For once, he was able to escape Liam. No one escapes Liam.

"Do you understand football?" He questioned.

I shook my head, "No. Still only know what a touchdown is." Kill me.

He set his shako aside, moving closer to me. "I understand we're still not on talking terms, but can you stop acting like you don't have feelings for me?"

"Who said I was acting? I don't have feelings for you. Definitely not."

He raised his eyebrow, frowning at me. He rolls his eyes, sighing, "So if I were to say that I still liked you back, you wouldn't want me back?"

"Must I remind you that I don't have feelings for you? You cheated." I whisper, being careful with the other band people around. 

He sighed, "If you would just listen and get your head out of your ass, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation, would we Tyler?"  

Thank god Mr Airwreck told us to go to the track to warm up. It relieved this tension between Ced and me.

"Hey! Ty! Wait up!" Ced called, grabbing my arm. I froze as he touched me. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. And I'm sorry for ignoring you for the past few months." Not now, I pleaded in my head, I can't do this now. Runaway Cedric. Go with Liam. He's calling you, I thought.

Good thing that he ended up on the other side of our section with Zayn. It's also a good thing that he didn't line up next to me. Zayn looked back, putting on his shako. "It's so hot."

"We're in Arizona. Of course, it's hot." Brandon told him. Zayn hisses, putting his shako silently.

The buzzer rang, and we began marching onto the field. Adeline began the canon shots and we left the track. Boom boom boom. Anxiety was consuming me, and so was the adrenaline. My stomach was knotted up, my hands shaking a little.

Keep it together Ty, I repeated as we came to a halt. My mind was all over the place as the rim clicks echoed through the field. I felt like throwing up right then and there, but Mr Airwreck would murder me. We got to our dots, I was eight steps behind the hash on the 45.

And then the count off started and we snapped our horns up.

"TYLER APRESURATE!!! ¡VAS A LLEGAR TARDE!!!" Mi madre yelled. I jumped out of my bed and put on a shirt. My mom bulldozed my door and smiled as she saw me dressed already. "Ya?"

I nodded, panting as she closed my door. Whoop, that was a nice save. No chancla today for me.

My sisters were already fighting as I came out of my room. Rebecca and Demy slapped each other over the ugly Barbie doll they had in their hands. I didn't bother to intervene because Dad would get mad if I made his precious little girls cry.

I took the truck keys and waited for my mom to get in. When I turned on the truck, I plugged in my phone and began playing Careless Whisper. This song took me back in time sometimes.

Cedric laughs his butt off as I came into the band room playing Careless Whisper on my sax with a shirt that said "Be mine?" written on it.

I try so hard not to laugh as I played. After the sax hook ended, I unhook Eddie and hand him a rose. He gave me a hug, taking the rose afterwards.

"Only you, Tyler, would ever ask someone out with Careless Whisper."

"You need to get your grade up in Algebra." My mom rambles. I was too busy singing along to Careless Whisper to pay attention to her. And then Kansas came on and I totally lost my shit.
