Chapter 15: With the Night

The lady tapped the microhone twice to get everyone's attention and I have to admit, I was terrified. And kind of confused at the same time. "I'd like to make one final announcement before the competition next week. Now I know there was some confusion with one of the bands not fully performing tonight, but we have cleared up everything thanks to this young man." Her glance fell to the other side of the stage as Kenny slowly walked to her. "After Mr. Holland here had explained to me the situation, I conclude that Skate Maloley and his band are disqualified. Thank you and have a great evening." 

I looked at Skate from across the stage. His face was flushed but quickly grew its color back as anger filled his face. His fists clenched and he walked away. "Jack, this is not good." I said. "Yeah. I know." He replied. When Kenny returned to us we grabbed Johnson from the bathroom and quickly packed up our things so we could get the hell out. "What happened to you?" We all asked him as we walked down the hallway. "Skate told me that someone stole my drum sticks and tossed them in the janitors closet. Stupidly, I went to look for them and Skate locked me inside, well right after he stole my phone. Luckily the janitor let me out."

I was apalled. I hated Skate with every fiber of my being. "That's messed up-" I was cut off my a very angry Skate slamming Kenny against the lockers. Kenny winced in pain as Skate lashed out on him. "Why the fuck did you rat me out Holland!?" Kenny didn't respond. "Answer me you asshole!" I've had enough. "Skate get the hell out of here. You're the real asshole not him." I stepped in front of Kenny. "Fuck of Delilah, its so typical of you to want to step in for this pathetic-" 

My fist cut him off as it collided with his face. He fell to the floor and I kicked him in the gut. "Listen here Maloley. If you go off telling people what happened and get us disqualified then we'll tell everyone what REALLY happened tonight. Got it?" I threatened. He nodded his head and got up slowly, holding his, probably broken, nose. "Ok, I've got a boss ass girlfriend." Jack said breaking the silence. "Yeah well lets get out of here before we celebrate." I murmured while looking back down the hall. 

We decided to go out for ice cream except for Johnson, who we dropped off at home. "Lilah, I can't believe how awesome you were back there." Jesse said. "Yeah. I mean, damn." Gilinsky added. I dug my spoon into Jack's cup of ice cream and took a heafty bite. "Wow ok, I guess you can have some of my ice cream." He laughed, nudging my side. I looked over at Jesse who was glued to her phone which seemed pretty unusual. "Hey Jess, you okay?" I asked.

She didn't look up at me as she spoke. "It's just my mom. She want's me home for some reason. I gotta go but I'll see you guys later." Then she was gone leaving Jack and I alone. "Look, I reeeeeally don't want to go through what happened yesterday ever again." He started. "Yeah me neither." We sat on the curb together and watched the cars go by. "I sang that song, hoping you would show up." I said to him.

"You mean that Hunter Hayes song? Why?" He asked, finishing up his ice cream. "Do you remember when we were at Jesse's and you said to me that you wanted to make me feel wanted? That's why." He stared at me. Almost to the point where my eyes burned even though it was dark out. "I love you." He said. "I love you too." I said back. He started leaning in but right as we were about to touch lips he stopped and looked at me. "You got chocolate right?" He asked, pointing to my cup. "Yeah..." I chuckled. "And I got vanilla." 

He looked at his cup then back at me. I waited for him to continue. "Then lets make some chocolate and vanilla swirl." I laighed at him as I leaned in again. "You, Mr. Gilinsky, are something else." I chuckled and then we kissed. It wasn't a long kiss but it sure did feel long. The creases in his lip pressed against mine felt like magic everytime we kissed. I loved it. When we let go he threw both of our cups away and put his hand out for me to grab. "Let's take this back to my place." He winked.

I bit my lip and followed him to my car since he actually walked all the way to the school instead of driving. He took the wheel though. We walked into his house which was completely deserted. He immediatly started kissing my neck right as the door closed. "Wait what about your family?" I asked but didn't pull away. "They all went on vacation but I insisted on staying for the Pre-Hype." He whispered. "Really? Wait so you knew that you were still going to perform with us anyway..." I let the conversation slip away. My back soon hit the wall and my shirt eventually met the floor along with Jack's.

We barely made our way upstairs and into his room. His tan jeans fell to the floor and ever so slowly, he slid down my pants revealing everything. I'm extremely shy about my body but Jack made me feel like it didn't even matter what I looked like. Suddenly his face lowered and I was experiencing something utterly amazing. Gross, I know. But seriously, wow. I grabbed his hair and tugged lightly. After a good while, I knew I was ready. 

Soon enough, we were one and the night took us away. We fell asleep pretty late as I remember and heaven knows that I slept like a rock. Dreaming of sleeping on a cloud flying through the air like a balloon. I flew over cities and countires. It was incredible; until I was wacked in the face by a bird. I woke up startled because I could barely see with all the shaving cream on my face. "Jack!" I screamed. "Smack cam!" He yelled. "You know what..." I grabbed his sheets and rubbed my face all over them. "Aw man I just got them washed you butthole." He laughed.

"You started it." I teased. "Yeah yeah." He took the sheets off of the bed and tossed them into the washing machine. "So, what do you want to do today?" He asked. "For starters, I've got to call my mom." I turned away from him and called my house. "Hello? Sweetie, is that you?" My mom answered a little quickly. "Yeah, is everything ok?" I asked. "Yes, sorry I just hadn't heard from you all night and I just got kind of worried." I chuckled a little bit. Then I heard Cameron's voice in the background. "Let me guess, you were at Jack's house!" He shouted through the phone.

"Yes, yes I was." I admitted. "Can you come home. Camerons leaving today and I think that you should say goodbye." She said. "Ok I'll be there soon, love you." I hung up and looked at Jack. "I've got to go." I said sadly. "Awe, ok." I threw my clothes on and kissed him goodbye.
