Part 2 of chapter 3..



I paced around my room.
"Gossshhh...one hour..what to WEAR?! ARGGG!"
My brother stuck his head into my room "You're crazy. I can hear you from downstairs!"
I thought for a moment "Wait..weren't you..in your room..singing to like..Hilary Duff or something?!"
His face turned red "WHAT."
I smiled. SCORE! I pointed to his room "Bye now!"
He walked back into his room stiffly as I laughed like a little girl who just won the lottery and is partly insane.

The doorbell rang "I'LL GET IT!" I yelled and ran downstairs to the door.
My grandpa was standing there with my aunt, each holding a giant box.
"HI GRANDPA! HI AUNT SUZANNE!" I gave my grandfather a huge hug. Each time I saw him, he would always look so cheerful, like nothing in the world could bring him down.
He was a person I admired so much. For someone who just lost an important person in their life after being with them for the longest time, he was just amazing.
My grandfather handed me the box my aunt was holding and called for Matt to get the other ones.
"Merry Christmas!" he whispered


I slowly opened the box.
It was a gorgeous dark marroon dress, with pink lace trimming and crisscrossed satin detailing. My gosh, it was gorgeous.
AH! MY GRANDPA WAS THE SMARTEST!

- - - - -

"Ding dong."
I turned around and found Teddy standing and my doorway with a bunch of roses.
He was wearing a blue and white pinstriped dress shirt with a dark blue tee underneath and black dress pants. Oh, and un-matching socks which were black and red.
I pointed at the roses "Those are sooo pretty!..and nice socks by the way.."
Teddy smiled "The roses? Oh they're for your brotherrr..."
I gave him a weird look "Seriously?!"
he nodded "I think...I love your brother.."
I stared at him. I saw him trying not to smile or laugh.

After a moment he burst out laughing "I'M KIDDING! I LIKE YOUR BROTHER..BUT NO, THESE AREN'T FOR HIM!"
I still stared at him.
He handed the roses to me "Merry Christmas!"
"You fool." I laughed. "Downstairs we gooooooo...goooo...GOOOOO.." he sang.
"Hold on." I ran over to my bed and grabbed the necklace. "Okay."
"Ready to go downstairs m'dear?" Teddy asked in a British accent while holding out his hand. I nodded and followed him down.

- - - - -

For dinner we had all these random things my mom made and lots of other things people brought over.
I was sitting between Erin and my cousin, Lauren. Personally, I thought Lauren was extremely boring, she wore knit cardigans in bright and bold colours all the time.
Some were nice, but some..were a little TOO much. She also has this obsession with horses.

"So what did you get for Chrismas?" she asked me.
I swallowed my food. "Umm..well..a lot of random things." I laughed, "Oh, and this necklace." I grabbed onto the crown of the necklace around my neck and showed her.
"Did your boyfriend get that for you?" she asked and pointed to Teddy.
"Oh, no, I don't have a boyfriend.." I felt my cheeks get red.
"You're lying.." she said, I ignored her and ate my food, I heard a cough-like-choke, I looked up and saw Teddy staring at me, once our eyes met he half-smiled.

The rest of the dinner was part of, my cousin asking me the stupidest questions. Matt's gross remarks on the pet turtle that my aunt brought over, which seemed to be dead..or something..
and Teddy trying to catch my eye just so he could smile at me.

And you could totally tell Lauren was crushing on Teddy. If she didn't already he was the amazingly famous and talented singer slash songwriter, Teddy Geiger.

- - - - -

I rubbed my eyes and yawned. It was almost 12:00..and weirdly enough, I was feeling really tired.

"Hey..um...umm..." started Teddy
"Hmmm..?"
"I was..thinking--or..wondering....if...you...umm..would like to..." his voice started shaking. "hangouttomorrow." he added really really fast.

I thought about it "Umm.."
Teddy looked down at the ground. "I think..i'm busy tomorrow..with..Erin.....RIGHT, ERIN?" I gave her a look.
She shook her head "No way, girlfriend. We're so..booked with...NOTHING TO DO. It's not even funny..." she smiled
"I'm going to kill you.." I mouthed.
I turned back to Teddy, while he just looked at me a little zoned out. I waved my hand in front of his face and snapped. He looked straight back at me with a shocked face. "CHICKEN!"
I look at him, confused. "WHAT?!" He turned red "Nothing.."
"Hm. So..yeah..I guess" I smiled.
He looked at me confused for a moment "OH, WAIT. WHAT. You said. YES?! What. Wait. Really?!"
Erin and I exchanged looks and laughed.

My brother sat down across from me with Lauren. Oh no, attack of the killer knit cardigans...
"So Lauren, as I was saying. Teddy currently..DOESN'T have a girlfriend." my brother told my cousin "Right, Ted?"
Teddy looked confused "What? Yes. Or. No. AH I'M SO CONFUSED!" he started shaking his head like a mad person.
"Sooo..Teddy.." Lauren started playing with her hair. I could see my brother keeping his mouth over his hand and trying not to laugh.

I got off the couch and sat down next to Matt. "Oh, you can sit over there, Lauren!" I smiled and pointed next to Teddy.
Teddy gave me a scared look.
Lauren sat down next to Teddy and moved closer in towards him.

Erin pulled me up and we ran upstairs to laugh.
"YOUR COUSIN IS HILARIOUS!" Erin practically screamed
I kept laughing "Lucky Teddy.."

We walked back calm like nothing had happened and sat back down.
Teddy glared at us while Lauren leaned in towards him.

Teddy got freaked out and stood up and ran into the kitchen where our parents were.
"MOOOOMMMM, CAN WE GO NOW?!?!?!" we heard Teddy complain

Me and Erin couldn't stop smiling while my brother was rolling on the floor giggling.

- - - - -

We walked through the mall extremely paranoid. There were a ton of screaming girls at every corner, and a lot were just scared to come up to us and talk to Teddy.
We walked past a table trying to collect donations for orphans and things at a local orphanage. Then, a brilliant idea struck me. I quickly whispered it to Teddy and we ran to Target.

We bought a poloroid camera, three Sharpies and a roll of tickets.

- - - - -

I ran up to a bunch of girls admiring Teddy from a distance. "HI GUYS!" I waved excitedly
They gave me a confused look "I HEARD THAT TEDDY GEIGER.." I pointed at Teddy who was waving at us from a table "IS DOING A PHOTO AND AUTOGRAPH SESSION, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!"
They started giggling "..AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DONATE $5 TO THE ORPHANAGE OVER THERE WHERE TEDDY IS, AND THE LADY WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE TICKET TO GO GET YOUR PICTURE WITH TEDDY!!..
AND AN AUTOGRAPH!" I added
They started freaking out and ran over to the table, Teddy smiled at me while I went to go find more girls to spread the news to.

It was almost 6, which meant we were almost at the mall for 5 1/2 hours, and 5 hours of which, Teddy was signing autographs.
I guess news was spreading because there seemed to be more people by the minute! Teddy still looked happy while I started to get hungry and tired.
I was pretty much running around the whole time Teddy was signing, either getting for film for the poloroid, or more Sharpies or more rolls of tickets.
I whispered to the lady helping us who worked at the orphanage to pass a message to Teddy, since there was no way that I could get pass all those crazy screaming fans.

The security people started telling the fans that Teddy would be back in half and hour or so, so that he could get some food.
Luckily his fans were understanding.

I saw her pass the message to Teddy and he looked over and me, smiled, and nodded.
I nodded and whispered to the security people who then...walkie talkied the rest of the security people.

After a minute of Teddy trying to struggle out of the crowd. He managed to get out.
I laughed at him. "Aren't you tired?" he rubbed his wrists "Sortaa.."
some people started following us.."RUN IT!" I hissed as we ran out of the mall towards his mom's car, which Teddy was borrowing for the day.
We drove for about two blocks until we stopped at a Taco Bell.
We grabbed our food to go and ran back into the car to eat. "Wow, you are such a celebrity!" I laughed

He looked at me as we sat in silence for a bit. The moonlight coming in from the windows made his eyes a shimmery black-blue.
Our faces was so close to each other, and I was starting to freak out.
He leaned in and kissed me. I felt my cheeks get hot and my face was probably turning pink.
Oh my cows...I'm not supposed to fall in love with him again! Haylie, you moron. I whispered to myself.

"Uhh..we'd..better..leave.." I broke free from him slowly and tried to hide my overly pink face.
Teddy looked at me for a moment, nodded and smiled "Alright."

- - - - -

Teddy finally finished signing and taking a ton of pictures with fans. It was almost 9, the mall was supposed to close at 8, but they kept it opened for us.

I sat on the table texting Erin while the lady from the orphanage finished counting the money.."$2155" she announced finally..
"Wow," Teddy sighed. "Do you think you could help me pack this up into the van?" the lady asked Teddy.
They left for the parking lot, leaving me with two security guard women.

"HI!" I waved to them
They laughed and waved back "So..how long have you guys been dating?" one lady asked
I glared at her, confused "Who?"
She smiled "You and Teddy Geiger.."
"Uhhh..?! We're..not..dating.." I clarified
She smirked "Suuurrrreee...but do you think you could get us his autograph and everything?"
I looked at them "Uhh..you'll have to ask him."
"Oh, right..you're NOT his girlfriend!" she smirked again.

Just then Teddy walked back "Hi!" he gave me a quick hug "Can we go?"
I looked at him and nodded, that security lady smirked again for the third time as we walked off

Oh how I wanted to run back and punch her in the face...

CHAPTER 4




"NINE MORE MINUTES, YOU GUYS!" yelled Erin.

We were all hanging out in her basement counting down until the new year.
"Heyy.." Teddy laughed as he squished in next to me.
I nodded as I tried to pay no attention to him.
He looked at me just as I casually looked over at his side. He smiled to me and I felt my cheeks get hot.
"Uhhhmmm...so the other day was..really funn.."
I nodded "I guess..it's all for a good cause.."
he nodded back "So..uhh..you're..not still..mad..at..me..are you?"
I turned and stared at him "We've gone over this a million times! I'm not mad at you!"
he started getting red "I'm sorry..it's just..uhh..umm..just..."

"HEY GUYSSS!" Max squished his way in between us, so now, it was even more crowded and sqwishy.

Max was this really..crazy..random kid from our school. He's always been trying to ask me out. He did, about a million times, but I always thought he was just joking, so I would always turn him down.
I guess he wasn't really..the shy type, but he was a really nice guy and pretty cute too. With blonde hair and brown roots. Bright greenish blue eyes.

I laughed "Maxxx..you weirdo.."
"So..what are you guys talking about? ME, by any chance?"
I laughed "You wissshhhh..."

"FIVE MORE MINUTEEESSS!" a couple people from the kitchen yelled.

Teddy tapped Max on the shoulder "Hey man, do you think you could..like..go..eat..some..pie or something for another five minutes?"
Max looked at me and I just smiled, "Hmmkay then. Haylie, you owe me.." he laughed and got off the couch.
I nodded and laughed.

Teddy scooted closer to me.

"FOUR MORE MINUTEEEESSS!"

I looked at Teddy while he stared at me.
"Umm.." I knew what was going to happen next...and no way was I was thinking was going to happen.

"THREE MORE MINUTESS!"

"I..should go.." I told Teddy really quickly as I got off the couch and ran towards the door.
I ran towards my house, luckily it was less than a block, and my brother was home with a bunch of his friends..

"FIVE..FOUR...THREE..TWO...ONNNEEEEE!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!"
I practically heard the whole city cheer and scream and noise makers went off in every direction.

Someone grabbed my arm just as I attempted to open the door
"Happy new year" whispered Teddy as he pulled me towards him and kissed me.
Cow.

- - - - -

I woke up the next morning and saw Teddy laying, asleep on my bedroom floor.
I got off my bed and kneld down next to his peacefully sleeping body. "Teddy?" I whispered
Teddy opened his left eye just a little bit.

"Morning," I laughed as I sat back onto my bed.
He rubbed his eyes and scratched his head. "Morningggg.."
"So..."
"Soo...whhhaaattt?"
"So..isnt your mom freaking out where you dissapeared to?"
he shook his head "Nope, I called her last night, she told me it would be too crazy to drive home, so she told me to stay at a friends house..and I guess..you're..that..friend?"
"..Friends. Yes, friends, and lets keep it that way" I mumbled under my breath
Teddy looked at me confused "Huh?"
I smiled "You want breakfast?"
He nodded and followed me downstairs.

There were a ton..of..random people's bodies laying around my living room, we tip-toed across a bunch of them, making sure not to land on their faces or something.

We finally made it into the kitchen without stepping or kicking anyone in our way. Teddy laughed and stared at me.
Our eyes met and I quickly looked away to "look" for the cereal.

"So..when do you leave again?" I asked Teddy as we sat on the kitchen floor. Darn chairs all dissapered somewhere..
He made a stupid humming noise "Mmm........in..a week.."
It seemed like he had just gotten back "Oh." I replied somewhat sadly..he must of sensed it because he stopped chewing and leaned over towards me.
He made a silly face where he opened his eyes wide and made his mouth all..crooked, and tried not to laugh. I smiled.
"There we go. But don't worry, it'll only be for a couple of weeks." Teddy smiled.

- - - - -

My phone rang just as I logged onto AIM.
"Last name, first name." I laughed, though I already knew it was Erin
"Geiger, Teddy...?"
Guess I was wrong. Caller ID LIED. Or Teddy was just using Erin's phone.

I laughed "Hi."
I could almost hear him smile "Uhhh..so..I'm sort of leaving............right now."
I nodded, though he couldn't see me. I heard Erin yell something along the lines of "PHONE....TALK...HAYLIE....ME...NOW"
"Hold on.." I heard Teddy say
"HAY! WHY AREN'T YOU HERE?!" Erin screamed into the phone
"Uhh..because..i'm..not?"
I felt bad for not saying goodbye to Teddy in person at the airport. But If I went..I probably would end up crying or something..which..isn't good.
"Well...Teddy's really sad now.."
Aw. Now I feel even worst.. "Tell him, i'll make it up to him when he gets back. Starbucks, or something.."
I heard Erin tell Teddy what I had just offered
"Deal." she finally replied "Well, he's leaving now..ANY LAST WORDDDSSSS?!?!?!"
I laughed "Um. I love you? WAIT. NOOOOOO." My thoughts were thinking aloud again, "Scratch that. Umm..just 'See you Geiger' will be just fine."
"Mmmkay.." Erin handed the phone over to Teddy
"See you, Lawson." he laughed and hung up.

- - - - -

Erin sat on my bed while I spun around in my chair.
"You're such a fool" she told me
I stopped and glared at her "..how?"
She rolled her eyes. "C'mon, you've had this HUUUGGGEEEE crush on Teddy ever since..like..before I could remember, he totally likes you too, but you're too stupid to do anything about it.."
I got off the chair and paced around "You KNOW I can't do anything about it.."
"Okay, well..even if...whatever....you HAVE to give him a chance!"
I paced around my room some more "That's just going to end up hurting ME and HIM! Doing absolutely nothing is better than breaking hearts...way better."
"Well..what if--"
"NO WHAT-IFS. Nothing will happen between us...and nothing EVER WILL."
Erin frowned "I told you you're a fool."
I lay down on my floor and smacked a pillow over my face "ARRRRGGGGG" and then I gave Erin the 'loser' sign.




Ohhhh...and in the next chapter..I will probably..reveal what that 'whatever' is..LOL, notice the bolding, underlining and italic-ing I did on that word! LOL

[smile♥]

OH! I think I know what the WHATEVER is!!
Oh snap!
I kind of want it to be what I'm thinking about because then it would be super interesting.
HA.
So yeah. Good job. Post more!
