Chapter 13
-Carry On-
We were now back at my house on the lounge watching the Notebook. We had the house to ourself, so we decided to close all the curtains and turn on the surround sound and watch the movie- to get the full on movie experience.
We called Ann and Emma as well, and everyone got excited and happy for Lilly and Mitch for that matter, but they couldn’t come over to celebrate, so it was just me and Lilly
“pass me the popcorn” Lilly said, as my pocket started to vibrate
“its right next to you, you tard” I said as Lilly looked to her side and saw the popcorn and let out a little embarrassed laugh, as I took out my phone and read the message. It was from Teddy- ‘hey babe, im bored and me and Danny have nothing to do so, can we come round to your house???’
I started to type my txt back to him- ‘yea sure, come anytime me n Lil aren’t doing anything to special’.
I put my phone next to me, and looked back up to the screen.
“No…… why isn’t she remembering anything” Lilly said as a tear came to her eye. The movie was coming to the ending, which was the upsetting part of the movie.
“I no, he’s like done everything he can” I said as my eyes started to water, and I got another txt back from Ted- ‘be there in 10 mins J’
“Cinds come closer I need to hug something” she said in between tears as she gestured for me to come closer
“me to” I said as I moved closer and wiped away tear from eyes.
-Carry On-
It was coming to like the last minute of the movie, when I heard the doorbell ring. By this time me and Lilly were in tears. It may sound sad that we were bawling about a movie, but me n Lil are very sensitive and things like a movie especially this one make us cry.
“its open” I yelled as the doorbell went off again, and I re focused my attention on the movie. It was coming down to the last 30 seconds now, the part where she finally remembered and they die in each others arms.
The front door swung open and Teddy and Danny walked in and saw that me and Lil were on the lounge crying.
“OMG babe, what’s wrong, what happened, who did it to you” Teddy yelled as he came rushing over to me and Danny went rushing over to Lilly
“move your in my way” I said as Teddy was trying to find out what was wrong and comfort me and was in the way of the T.V at the same time.
“what” Teddy said in a confused voice as he turned around and realized that we were crying about the movie.
“OMG you guys are crying over a movie” Danny said with a laugh as he got a death stare from both me and Lilly, and he quickly shut up and sat down on the lounge, and Teddy did the same.
-Carry On-
“aww I love that movie” Lilly said just as the credits started rolling
“OMG me to” Danny said in a hilarious mock girly voice, which made me and Teddy laugh
“why do you always insist on mocking things I say?” Lilly questioned in an annoyed voice
“oh calm down Lil….its funny” I said as she shrugged her shoulders and Teddy started to speak.
“you had me scared there for a second” Teddy said as I looked over to him lying on the end of the lounge.
“I thought something had happened to you……….especially since like the curtains were closed and everything was shut and quite……………and you to were just sitting here crying…a hundred bad things come rushing through my mind”, he finished saying as he sat up on the lounge
“aww im sorry for scaring you…..and thankyou for caring……..and im sorry for being rude to you and telling you to move out of the way, when you were clearly only trying to make sure I was ok” I said as I started to get up.
“it ok I forgive you, and its only my duty as both a best friends and boyfriend to care about you” he said as I made my way over to front window and opened the massive curtain that covered the fairly big window
“aww your so cute” I said as I made my way back over to him and grabbed his face with both hands and rested my forehead on his squishing up my face as I did so
“ow would you to get a room” Lilly said as Danny laughed and me and Teddy made faces at her
“well technically we are in a room” Teddy stated matter-of-factly as Lilly made a mock laugh face
“ow what ever Lilly, its not like you and Mitch are going to be any different” I said as she made a cute little girls face, which made me laugh
“well im gunna be the one to break up this whole love/relationship fest, and get on with what we came here for” Danny said as he pointed to a box that was now on the ground
“what’s in the box?” I questioned
“its full of pictures and random video recordings” Teddy said as me and Lilly looked at each other with a confused look on our face.
“and why did you bring them here” Lilly asked
“are you guys forgetting the idea you came up with the other day” Teddy questioned
“um………no, would you like to fill me in on what I should be remembering” I said as Teddy and Danny let out a small laugh
“well its got to do with Mitch’s 16th birthday” Danny said as I remembered. It was Mitch’s birthday in 3 weeks- 31st July. I had had an idea on what we could do for his birthday present. Because it was the big 1-6 I thought it would be a good idea to make a digital scrapbook full of pics and some vids. The pics and vids would be of both him and the rest of the group, so the group decided that it would be a good idea, so we were going to gather all the pics and vids we had, then come together and make it.
“ow I know what your talking bout now, the digital scrapbook for Mitch” I said as Danny and Teddy made a ‘oh you remembered’ face
“well what are you waiting for, crack the box open so we can have a look” Lilly said as we all let out a chuckle and Danny lifted the box off the ground.
-Carry On-
“omg that is hilarious, we are so going to use this……..he’s gunna kill us buts its gold” I said still laughing as everyone else was laughing as well. We had just finished watching all the small tapes that Teddy and Danny had bought over, and we had decided what one’s we were going to use
“yea we are so going to use it………….but if Mitch ask’s it wasn’t my tape” Teddy said as we were all still laughing, and Danny’s phone rang
“hello……oh hey mum……….im at Cindy’s……….yea Teds with me………….Lilly’s here as well………..yea…………alright………ill ask” Danny said on his end of the phone
“Lil, do you need a lift home, coz I have to go home soon, and we are going to be going past your street” Danny said to Lilly as we had all calmed down
“um…….yea actually can I get a lift” she said back
“yea of corse” he said
“ok…..thanks” she said back
“mum you there……yea she does……ok..cya” he said “well my mum will be here in 10 to pick me n Lil up so…….” he finished
“ow ok……what time is it?” I questioned even thought I was staring at a clock, it hadn’t registered in my mind to read the clock and figure out what time it was.
“um its 5.55” Danny said as he lowered his wrist down from looking at his watch
“really I thought it was later………I wonder where everyone is” I said as Teddy got up
“anyone want anymore drink” he asked as he raised his cup, and everyone shook their heads, and he made his way to the kitchen
“well why don’t we pack up all the things we aren’t going to use and put aside the pictures and videos we are going to use” Lilly said as me and Mitch agreed and knelt down on the floor to gather the pictures and videos into piles.
“hey Cindy” I heard Teddy yell from the kitchen
“yea” I called back
“have you read the note that was left on your kitchen bench” he asked
“what note” I asked back confused. There was no note was their
“this one” he said walking back into the lounge room with the note in hand, and he extended his hand and I grabbed the note
The note said
Cindy
Ben, me and Hector have gone to see my parents
We will be home late
Mat and Kim are also going out to celebrate their anniversary
So I don’t know what time they will be home either
There’s food in the fridge for you for dinner
If you need anything just call either one of our mobiles or my parent’s house
Behave and stay safe
Love Kaitlyn
xoxo
“I didn’t even see it, lucky you saw it or otherwise I would have been worried as to where everyone was” I said
“well since no-one is gong to be home, why don’t you come to my house. You can have dinner there and you can hang out with me, plus I may, being the main word, show you the new song I was working on……..but that’s only if your lucky” Teddy said as he raised his eyebrows
“are you sure………….are you sure your parents wont mind?” I asked as Teddy started shaking his head
“nah they wont care………they love when you come over and plus they wont want you staying at home alone anyways” he said
“ow ok…….but can you please ring your mum and make sure, coz I just don’t want to turn up unannounced” I said
“if it will make you happy, but I already know it will be a waste of a call coz she will say yes anyway” he said as he pulled his mobile out f his pocket to call his home.
“thanks……I just don’t want to be rude……………and here use the home phone to call” I said as I leaned over a small table bench thingy to grab my home phone and hand it to him.
“thanks” he replied with a smile that sent tingles up my spine.
“whilst you call your parents im going to txt Ben and tell him bout the plans” I said as I looked over to the coffee table to see if my phone was there
“ok” Teddy replied as he put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled my head forward as he kissed my forehead and the turned around to walk in the other room to call his house.
-Carry On-
I was now lying on the floor of Teds house with A.J playing scissors, paper, rock over who was going to control the T.V remote. I ended up coming to Teds house for the night. Ben said it was ok, and Mrs Geiger said she would love if I came over and had no problem with it, so here I was.
“scissors, paper ,rock” we both said in union as I had paper and A.J had a rock.
“haha looks like I win” I said to A.J as I stuck my tongue out at him and he stuck his tongue out back at me, and he handed me the remote.
“what’s going on in here” Ted said as he reappeared into the lounge room from getting changed in his room
“well I just beat your brother in scissors, paper, rock over who controls the remote” I said as Teddy smiled
“nice….so what are we watching” he questioned as I looked at the box office T.V guide
“um…………oh oh what about TRL that’s on” I said as I got a nod from both Ted and A.J, and I changed the channel so we were now watching it
-Carry On-
“that’s going to be you one day” I said to Ted as he looked at me and smiled. TRL had now ended and we were juts sitting there on the lounge
“yea one day………hopefully” he said a little louder than he had planned it to be.
“oh I know you will be………….and you can quote me on this the day that you are actually on” I said as I tilted me head to the side and made a face.
“ok I will…….but as for now I wanna show you something” he said as he got up and put his hand out to me, and I grabbed it and got up.
“ow………..would this by any chance be the new material you were working on last night” I questioned with a questioning face
“it may be……..actually no I haven’t quite finished that yet…………but I want to show you something, that I wrote the night before I asked you out’ he said as we started making our way down the stairs to his recording studio in the basement.
“ow koolies………but I already know it is going to be amazing” I said as we reached the recording studio
“you don’t know that it I going to be amazing……..but I actually like this one so it may be good’ he said as he made his way over to where his guitar was, and I made my way over to the lounge.
“babe everything you write and create is amazing……….and no matter what you say…… it is” I stated matter of factly and Teddy just shook his head
“ok…….well this song was written about you…….its called ‘For You I Will’” he said as he looked at me then started playing the guitar and started the song.
He started singing the first verse
“Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.”
He looked up at me as he sung the chorus.
“I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall”
He sang more. This song was amazing, it showed my how he really had and does felt about me in a different view, other than him telling me. But it had me a bit confused. What did he mean by ‘no more camouflage I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall’. Teddy was never camouflaged to me.
I stopped thinking and started listening to him sing this amazing song
“I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you
If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would
That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will”
He ended with a soft note then stared at the floor as if he was embarrassed of what he had just done……..as if I would think the song was crap……….but that was far, very far from the truth
“OMG that was ahh, um I cant think of a word to explain how amazing that was……I don’t think there is any word that could explain how much I love that song’ I said stuttering. The song was beyond amazing, it portrayed so much emotion and feeling that it made my heart melt
“really……….thanks” he said as he lifted his head and smiled
“really” I said back returning his smile, as he put his guitar down and mad his way over to me
“but there was something I don’t understand……….what did you mean by ‘no more camouflage I want to be exposed and not be afraid to fall’ you were never camouflaged into the background?” I questioned as he had a knowing look on his face
“I was always camouflaged in the boyfriend sense……….I know that I was noticed as a friend…that’s a given, but you never noticed that I had strong feeling towards you………no-one did I don’t think, but yea I wanted to tell you about how I feel without being rejected and fall I suppose” he said
“I get it now………but you should never be afraid to express your feelings, especially to me” I said as he nodded
“I know that……..its just you know how I am” he said as I agreed. He was always one to hide his feelings
“well I just want you to know, that you can tell me anything, and that I will never let you fall” I said as he sat down on the lounge close to me
“same goes for me………I mean you can tell me anything and I will never judge, and that I will always catch you when you fall” he said looking deep into my eyes, as he inched closer to my face until our lips met.
-Carry On-
We were still down in the basement on the lounge with each other, as we were interrupted by Mrs Geiger
“Teddy, Cindy dinner is ready and on the table” Mrs Geiger called down the stairs
“alright thanks mum we will be up in a sec” Teddy said as he got up and put his hands out to help me off the lounge
“thanks” I said as he gave me a knowing nod as he stepped backwards and put his arm out as if to say ladies first
“after you ma dear” he said in his British accent. He was so cute when he did that accent, it always makes me laugh, and he always does it when im upset to cheer me up.
“oh your funny…….lets go” I said with a laugh as I grabbed his hand and we made our way up the stairs.
tell me what you think!
