DON'T READ ------------------------------- Always (Trevor Moran)

Chapter 15 - Don't Let Me Go

{Tabby's POV}

BANG.

I fell out of JC's bed, my phone following, & hitting my head.

"FUCK!" I started mumbling every colorful word in my mind, & slumped downstairs.

"Morning!" JC attacked me in a hug, & I automatically felt better. "I cooked some waffles... Since I'm a professional microwave-chef." He flipped his 'hair' & let go. Smiling, I walked over to my plate- seven waffles? YES. A grin appeared on my face, & I opened the fridge, grabbing whipped cream. About ten seconds later, my waffles were cream-ified.

SCORE.

Stuffing my mouth with pancakes, JC took the stool next to me & ate, too.

"Trevor wants me to bring you to his house later."

I spat out my pancakes, & JC patted my back.

"JC, I-I can't show him..."

"Sh, don't worry... the attack can be our little secret. Just wear something that covers all the bruises & scratches, alright?"

"Okay, thanks, dude." I fist-pump him, & run upstairs.

*************

"Nice outfit. Are you ready?" JC cooed in my ear, & I nodded. Walking to his car, I spot out of the corner of my eye a drunk driver.

"JC!" I tackled him to the pavement, & was covering him like a blanket. The drunk driver swurved to the left, so we were safe. "Thank god," I muttered.

"What the hell, Tab!"

"Hey, I just saved your life from that fucking drunk driver. Don't sass at me." I crossed my arms, & JC put his head down. "Just bring me to Trevor's."

********

The car ride was silent the whole time, not a sound in sight. Sighing, JC stopped at a mysterious wooden boathouse, & I stared at him.

"I'm sorry. I was in shock about the whole situation, & I wasn't sure if it was real or not." He leaned over & hugged me, & I accepted.

"So, what are we doing here?"

"This is your destination!" He spread his arms wide, & I took a deep gulp. The driver's door opened, & JC stepped out, opening my door.

"Thank you, JC." I hugged him one last time, afraid that it would be the last hug I ever gave him.

"Hey, be safe." He throws me a spare set of keys, & I smiled weakly. Shutting my eyes, I took deep breaths to relax. One, JC's not here. Two, the wind swoops in. Three, it's time. Turning around, I head into the house, and close the door.

"Hello?" My voice cracks, & I move a strand of my hair away from my face. The lights flick on, & my throat gets all scratchy. A blonde figure stands in front of me, a huge smile on their face. "M-Miranda?" A happy tear strolled down my cheek, & she nodded. We both ran into each other, engulfing into a hug. "H-how... why-"

"Trevor called me down. Oh my gosh, I've missed you so much." She shakes my shoulders lightly, the thick Australian accent coming out of her mouth. "Now, come on, we have to get you ready!"

"Ready for what?"

"It's special. Come on!" My body literally froze, & she slung me over her shoulder, galloping out - no joke, she galloped like a damn horse out of this house. My eyes shut, she placed me down. "Look." Flinging my eyes open, I see the whole gang of O2L, grinning widely & leaning against a Black Camaro.
