Chapter 8

The next morning came a lot quicker than I had expected. I was up at five thirty getting ready to drive down to the airport and meet up with Teddy. What was I thinking? Was I really falling for this boy that I barely even knew?

“Morning sunshine,” my older brother Jackson somewhat laughed as he walked into my room. “What are you doing up so early?”

“I have to go to the airport and say goodbye to Teddy,” I replied as I put on my makeup.

“Oh, that’s cool.”

“I guess. What has you up so early?”

“I have to go to work today, early.”

“You are actually going to work?”

“Oh you….you hush!”

“You are the one who brought it up Jackson,” I laughed.

“Well, I had better get going. I’m supposed to be there in like twenty minutes.”

“See you later,” I said as my brother walked out of my bedroom.

-Be There For You-

“Where are you? I don’t see you anywhere,” I said into my cell phone as I walked around the airport looking for Teddy.

“Look up…straight ahead and you will find me,” Teddy said.

I followed his instructions. I lifted me head, or looked up, and there he was…right in front of me. This always happened to me.

“Be there in a sec,” I said as I hung up my phone and walked to the waiting area where Teddy was comfortably seated in some chair.

-Be There For You-

I had sat in the empty seat next to Teddy, and ever since there hadn’t been any conversation whatsoever. It was just an extremely awkward moment. I wanted to tell Teddy how I felt about him, but didn’t feel that right now at this place was the right time to tell him.

“Flight number 223 is now ready for boarding,” some lady said as she came over the intercom.

“Guess that means I had better be getting my carry-on bags and getting on that plane,” Teddy said as he stood up and put his hands down in his pockets.

“Do you have to leave so soon?” I whined as I stood up and wrapped my arms around Teddy’s waist.

Woah, what was I doing? For some strange reason I was acting like I was seriously attached to this guy. Whatever I was doing, and for whatever reason it was for, it felt right. I felt comfortable like this.

“I hate to leave…and you know it,” Teddy said as he wrapped his arms around me.

“Before you go there is something I have to tell you. I wasn’t going to tell you because I didn’t think today was the right time or right place, but I’ve just got to tell you now. I don’t think I can wait any longer.”

“I’m listening,” Teddy said as he loosened his grip on me.

“I know this may sound crazy coming from me or whatever, but I think I am kind of…well, I think I’m falling for you.”

“Last call for flight number 223,” the lady said as she once again came over the intercom.

“I really need to be going,” Teddy said as he pulled out of the hug.

“I’m going to miss you.”

“Same here,” Teddy said as he turned and headed towards the tunnel that led to the airplane. “Bye. I’ll call you sometime.”

“Bye Teddy,” I said as I watched Teddy disappear into the tunnel, not knowing when I’d see his face again.

-Be There For You-

I walked into Alyssa’s house and found her and Jamie sitting in the living room playing Monopoly. They gave me a strange look as I plopped down on the couch.

“He’s gone,” I said as I felt a tear roll down the side of my cheek.

“I think someone is in LOVE,” Jamie said as she took her turn and rolled the dice, eventually landing on Park Place.

“I am not in love…just have a major crush,” I sighed as I wiped the tears off of my face.

“It’s hard loving someone like that. I think Jamie and I both know that. We’ve had our experiences with the famous guys,” Alyssa said as she rolled the dice for her turn.

“I don’t LOVE him. Don’t you two get it? I just have a HUGE crush on him, that’s IT!”

“Okay, chill out. There is nothing to overreact about. We were just saying,” Jamie said.

“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know when I’m going to see him again. He wants me to come and visit, but I don’t think I could leave home.”

“Before we go anywhere else…did you tell him that you think you are falling for him? PLEASE tell me you told the guy that,” Alyssa said.

“Yes, I told him that right before he got on the plane. And you want to know something that’s kind of weird? I hugged him goodbye and it felt so weird. It felt like I was MEANT to be there at that very moment. I felt like a princess when that happened. Okay, that sounded really cheesy.”

“I have to admit, it was a little cheesy sounding…but you are obviously head over heels for Teddy, so I guess it’s cool,” Jamie shrugged. “OH, while I’m thinking about it…girls, Drake has a show in NYC on Sunday. Do you want to go? He’s paid for concert tickets, plane tickets, and a hotel.”

Alyssa and I exchanged glances at each other.

“NEW YORK CITY,” I yelled.

“HERE WE COME!” Alyssa yelled as she finished my sentence. “Are we stupid? Of course we want to go!”

“We wouldn’t DARE pass up an offer like that! New York City is AMAZING,” I said in excitement.

“I knew that would make you happier,” Jamie laughed.

“Are you saying we aren’t going to NYC?”

“No, you dork. Of course we are going to New York! I couldn’t lie about something like that. I just meant I knew bringing that up now would make you happy. You see, Lys already knew about this. We figured we’d bring it back up whenever you got here, since you would probably be down in the dumps.”

“Thanks you guys,” I somewhat laughed as Jamie and Alyssa began to pick up the pieces to the Monopoly game.

“That’s what we are here for,” Alyssa said with a smile.

-Be There For You-

The day went by, and I had tried to forget that Teddy was ever in Alabama. Right now I was focused on buying a cute outfit for my trip with Alyssa and Jamie to the BIG Apple.

“So…what are we wearing to the actual show?” Alyssa asked as the three of us walked around in American Eagle looking at clothes.

“I don’t know what the two of you are wearing. I’m going with a typical polo shirt and mini skirt,” Jamie replied.

“I think that’s what I am going to wear too,” I said as I looked at a cute pink polo.

“We should totally dress like triplets. Don’t you think that would be cool? Well…I think it would,” Alyssa said as she looked at the blue jean minis.

“That would be cool,” Jamie said. “Except, let’s not wear the SAME color polo shirts. Let’s wear the same skirt, but different color shirts.”

“Um…I call pink!” I said with a laugh.

“I call baby blue,” Alyssa said with a laugh.

“Hm, I think I’m going to go for red,” Jamie said as she looked at the polo shirts. “Yep, red is the color of my choice.”

“This trip is going to be so much fun. It’s going to be much needed. What else are we going to do while we are in NYC?” I asked as I picked out a tank top to wear up under my polo.

“I haven’t actually figured that part out yet. We will probably go shopping though,” Jamie shrugged as she too picked out a tank top.

“Alright…sounds fun,” I said as I took my polo shirt, tank top, and mini skirt to the register.

-Be There For You-

The afternoon had gone by fast. The girls and I had gone shopping, to the movies, and were now running around in Wal-Mart looking for things to make posters with. We had to make posters for the concert so we could show Drake our love and support.

As I sat looking at the different markers and paint pens, I heard my cell phone start to ring. It was a Teddy song which meant it was Teddy calling me. What was he calling me for?

“Hello,” I answered as I picked out some glitter pens and put them into my buggy.

“Well hello there stranger,” Teddy said on the other line. “What are you doing?”

“Um, the girls and I are running around in Wal-Mart. We have to find some stuff to make posters with. We’re flying to New York for one of Drake’s concerts. What about you? What are you doing?”

“Well, I just got back to my house. And now I’m unpacking my bags. So, you’re coming to New York? Is it your first time?”

“Nope, it’ll be my second time to visit the city actually. I went in 2004 on a school trip.”

“That’s pretty sweet.”

“Are you going to be in town on Sunday? That’s when Drake’s concert is.”

“I don’t know yet. There’s a possibility that I’ll be there, but I don’t really know. If I am in town I will try to make it over there to see all of you, but I’m not making any promises.”

“I know, and I understand. I wasn’t asking you to make any promises, so if you can’t come I’ll understand. You know I wouldn’t hold anything against you.”

“I know you wouldn’t. Well look, I had better get going. Mom is coming upstairs and will freak if she sees me on my cell phone, especially if I’m talking to you. For some reason she doesn’t want me talking to you.”

“Okay, that’s strange. I will talk to you later, hopefully.”

“You will talk to me later. Bye for now,” Teddy said as he hung up his cell phone.

Seconds later Jamie and Alyssa came rolling down the aisle with their shopping carts full of all sorts of decorations.

“So…who were you talking to?” Jamie said as she stopped shortly behind me.

“Does it matter?” I laughed as I started to push my buggy again. “We need to be going. It’s getting a little late, don’t you think?”

“I know who it was! You were totally talking to Teddy,” Alyssa said as I heard her and Jamie pushing their carts behind me.

“I prefer not to discuss my phone conversations with you two,” I almost laughed as I pushed my cart on to the checkout line.

Chapter 9

The next couple of days came and went by fairly fast. It was now Sunday, and the girls and I were seated on a plane that was headed to New York. In just a matter of hours we were going to be seeing Jamie’s main man, Drake Bell, in concert.

“I am super excited,” Jamie said as the stewardess walked past our seats, handing out peanuts and drinks to everyone.

“Of course you are! You are only seeing your boyfriend in a matter of hours,” I replied.

“Speaking of which Jamie, who exactly is picking us up at the airport? Please don’t tell me we have to catch a cab,” Alyssa somewhat begged as the stewardess made it to our row and handed us our drinks and peanuts.

“I think Drake is sending someone to pick us up, but don’t take my word. He may surprise us and be there when we get off the plane. I don’t really know anything right now.”

“Didn’t the boy tell you the plans?” I asked.

“He was too busy with rehearsal when I talked to him earlier,” Jamie replied.

“We understand,” Alyssa said with a laugh.

-Be There For You-

“I cannot believe we are in NEW YORK!” Alyssa said excitedly as we walked into the baggage claim area to retrieve our big suitcases.

“Ah…hello New York!” Jamie said as she took a deep breath of the New York City Airport air. “Now, we have to look for whoever is picking us up.”

“I found him!” I said excitedly as I saw Drake standing with a sign that had all of our names written on it. “Drake’s here to pick us up!”

“Hey girls,” Drake said as he walked up to us. “We need to be hurrying it up. I’m supposed to be back at the venue in like twenty minutes, and it takes fifteen to get from there to here.”

“I missed you,” Jamie said as she and Drake exchanged kisses on the cheek.

“I missed you too,” Drake replied as he helped us take our bags off of the baggage claim ramp thing.

-Be There For You-

Alyssa and I walked around inside the venue Drake was playing at while Jamie was backstage talking to Drake. We figured we should give the two some alone time with one another before we had to leave again.

“Who is opening for Drake? Do you know?” I asked Alyssa as walked in front of our seats.

“I have heard a few rumors, but haven’t heard if there is even an opening act,” Alyssa replied as we started to head back towards the merchandise booth. “Let’s get some shirts and stuff for the concert. They will match our posters, hopefully.”

“Okay. Well, who have you heard as far as rumors go?”

“I have heard anyone from Stevie Brock to Teddy. We probably won’t find out until the show starts. For some reason I want to say there won’t be an opening act. I’ve never known Drake to have an opening act. He’s just THAT good.”

“Hm, I don’t know. It would be really awesome if Teddy came. I mean, I haven’t seen him since like Thursday.”

“You are really starting to like this guy, aren’t you?”

“I don’t know…maybe. Is it a bad thing if I’m starting to like him?”

“No, I don’t see a thing wrong with it. Matter of fact, it’s about TIME you got a boyfriend. You are the only one in AJK who is single. You need a man so we can all go out on a triple date.”

“If I wanted Teddy to be my boyfriend, it would probably be months before that happened. I mean, he is going to be off touring so I won’t get to see him as much.”

“I could have told you that,” Alyssa laughed as we approached the merchandise booth.

-Be There For You-

Minutes passed since we had gotten to the venue, and it was now time for the concert to begin. A local NYC radio DJ was on stage to introduce Drake.

“HELLO NEW YORK CITY!” the DJ yelled. “It is my great pleasure to introduce to you lovely peoples the opening act. He is a local New York boy…lived her all of his life. Ladies and gentleman PLEASE welcome….TEDDY GEIGER!”

I looked over at Alyssa and Jamie and my mouth just dropped. Before I knew it Teddy was walking on stage, and my dream had come true. My trip to New York City was going to be amazing now that Teddy was here.

-Be There For You-

The concert had ended, and all three of us girls were headed backstage to meet up with Drake. Of course I was hoping Teddy was still here so I could talk to him. But from the looks of it, I didn’t see him anywhere.

“You guys go on ahead. I’m…I’m going to call Teddy,” I sighed as I motioned for Alyssa and Jamie to go on into Drake’s dressing room.

I walked around to find a seat to sit on, and before I knew it someone was behind me with their hands on my shoulders. Should I be afraid?

“Turn around,” the voice of Teddy said.

“TEDDY!” I yelled in a very excited voice as I turned around and wrapped my arms around Teddy’s neck in a tight hug. “I am SO glad you are still here!”

“Surprise.”

“What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be touring. And how come you are talking to me? I didn’t think your mom wanted you to talk to girls at this point in your life.”

“Turns out I was just touring around New York and Jersey, so I am here. My mom and I talked about the whole girls’ situation. I talked to her about you and she agreed that it was okay if I talked to you. I told her that you were more than likely the right girl for me, that I could see myself marrying you in the future. I told her you were just an overall amazing person, and you can stop me whenever you want.”

“You are such a sweetheart,” I said as I looked up at Teddy’s eyes.

“That’s what I’m here for,” Teddy some what laughed as he began to slowly lean in and kiss me.
