The Game Plan. • j.b.[EDITING]

Be Alright.

First day of Spring Break.

I blasted the music from my headphones. I was singing along to Me, Myself & I by Beyonce. Jade ran over to me. She sat down in front of me as I was singing. She smiled and danced along. My mom walked downstairs with the luggage. I took out my headphones.

"Jade, honey. Come on." Mom rushes her.

"Yay, Lucy!" she yells and I smile at her.

"You sound really good, sweetie."

"Thanks, Mom."

I grabbed the luggage and took it to the car. "We will be an hour away. Call me if you need anything, please."

"I know I will. Justin's coming over, I'll be fine for a few hours."

"He's a good kid, you know."

"Yes, Mom. I know." I giggle softly.

She kissed me on my forehead and walks towards the car.

I pick up Rocky, "Say bye, Rocky." I grab his paw and makes him wave. 

         I went inside the house and made popcorn. I went downstairs to bring up the box of DVDs. I got out all of the junk food and placed it all on the living room floor. I wanted this to be as normal as possible. I played music from the stereo. I heard the door bell ring. I opened the door to see Justin.

He walks in. "Ah man, junk food."

I noticed he had his guitar with him. I didn't ask him about it but he sat it next to the TV. He lays down in it and rolls around. Soon, Rocky came and jumped on him. I giggled softly.

"Aw, who's this?"

Rocky licked his face. I shake my head. "Rocky."

"Hey buddy." he pets him softly.

I sat down next to him. "So, I got a few DVDs. My mom is really into action movies so we have a lot of those."

I took a few out from the box.

He picks up one. "Transformers. Ah, I love this movie."

"She has all of them."

He chuckles lightly. "Think we can watch all of them before tomorrow?"

"I doubt it."

"Challenge accepted."

He puts the movie in the DVD player. I was actually kind of glad that I could hang out with a guy that every girl likes and all we were was just friends.

        Justin's POV

        After a few movies, she fell asleep. I continued to eat the popcorn and watch the movie. My phone rings and I answer it.

"Hello?"

"Where the hell are you?" Ryan asks.

"Uh..."

"Is that Tranformers in the back ground?"

I snicker."No...?"

"Dude. I thought you were coming to Canada with us."

"I met this girl today so were chilling at her house."

"What? You're not with Lucy."

I looked at her while she was sleeping, "Nope. I was planning to hang out with her tomorrow. We can always go to Canada."

"That's true. Hey, ask the girl if she has a sister."

"Get the fuck off my phone."

He laughs. "I'll see you later man."

I hang up. She moaned softly as she turned over. I couldn't let this shit happen to me again. I got up and went into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass and it filled up a little with water. I poured the water on her and she woke up. I sat the glass down on the table.

She gasps. "What the hell was that for?"

I grabbed a pillow and hit her with it. "Oh really?"

She hit me and we continued to do that all around the house. "Alright, Justin stop!"

"Are you awake now?"

"Yes, yes. I am." She sat down and I sat down next to her.

"Did you bring that so you could sing me a song?"

"No." I grabbed a cookie and took a bite.

"I brought it so I could sing you to sleep."

"I'm not 5." "Today you are." "

You heard me sing. So, I want us to be even." She got up and grabbed the guitar.

She handed it to me and I just look at her.

I shake my head. "I'm not singing."

"Just a sing a damn song. It'll keep me awake."

I hesitated but then I started to play a little. I stopped and shook my head. I played a different song. ;

"Across the ocean, across the sea. Starting to forget the way you look at me now. Over the mountains, across the sky. Need to see your face and need to look in your eyes. Through the storm and through the clouds, bumps in the road, and upside now. I know it's hard babe to sleep at night. Don't you worry cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight. Be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight,"

 I looked at her as I continued to sing.

She smiled at me a little,"Through the sorrow and the fights, don't you worry cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight. Be alright, ai-ai-ai-aight. --- All alone in my room, waiting for your phone call to come soon. And for you, oh, I would walk thousand miles to be in your arms, holding my heart. Oh I, Oh I, I love you. And everything's gonna be alright." 

She stared at me with a smile on her face. "It's beautiful. I like it."

I just stared at her.

"Do you think you can record it for me? Like the whole song?"

I just nod. "Yeah."

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing."

The door bell rings.

"It's almost 11. Who would be here?" She opens the door and Arden walks in with tears rolling down her face.

"He...he broke up with me." She fell into her shoulder, still crying.

"I'm sorry. I'll be right back."

They went upstairs, leaving me alone. I was in trouble. Enough trouble to want to kiss her. I wanted to. So badly.
