His Soothing Voice - A Tmf Fanfiction (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 2 - The Music Club

Drew POV:
Jake stormed away, mad. My heart broke a little. Did he hate us? Why did he stay with us for the entire week, though? Was he.. leaving? I knew deep inside Jake loved to sing, and the last time I had heard him he was amazing! I had heard him and seen the bullies back in kindergarten. I only asked him to be my friend in middle school because I didn't like to see him alone, plus he was really cute. With the singing, his style, and just the few times I had talked to him before we actually became friends I had been crushing on him. I still was, actually. I had no clue why I was dating Zoey, I had no clue why I was such an *sshole.

"God, can't he take a joke?" Liam asked as Henry laughed.

"Guess not," I answered, smirking.

I hoped Jake was ok, but I didn't have the guts to go after him.

I had finished my lunch and I was going to 'go pick on one of the nerd kids', which Liam and Henry didn't question because this was normal behavior for me and I called everyone I bullied a 'nerd kid'.

Instead of going to pick on someone I actually made my way to the music room. I sat down, leaning against the wall like usual, Daisy was the only one that knew ever since Jake joined I had hung out at the music room to listen to his beautiful singing because she saw me once when she left. The other members were pretty good, too. I was such an idiot for bullying them when I was younger, but if I stopped Henry and Liam wouldn't have the best of reactions. My parents thought I'd get bullied for being different and having passions, and it just seemed like everyone I loved wanted me to do this.

Except Jake. He never wanted to be a bully in the first place.. But who would I go to next? I was a douchebag to a lot of people in the school, including the theater club. The club I wanted to join. Acting things just came naturally to me, that's how no one ever found out. Obviously the acting I did when I was bullying and laughing wasn't hard for me at all.. but I didn't want to be like this.

I heard him start to sing this song, the piano and I think the drums were playing in the background. I listened to his soothing voice, so calm. It felt like I was in a different world when I heard the music.. I almost fell asleep to his voice, but it had faded away and I realized their practise was probably almost over and it woke me up. I quickly headed off to the boys bathroom which was nearby.

Me and Zoey were at the mall, she got pretty annoying after about 2 seconds after meeting her. I have no clue how Lia and her other friends could stand her!

"Want anything, Zoe-Zoe?" I asked her.

"Nah, wanna go get some coffee or something from the Boba shop? I heard they got a new flavor of macarons there!"

"Uh, sure." I choked out.

It was weird.. Usually she wanted to check out a clothes or hair store first.

"I'll pay-" I started but she interrupted..

"It's fine! I have enough money," she said, smiling stiffly.

I knew her family wasn't the richest of families, so I was confused.. Why she was going to pay? She knew I had a lot of money and didn't really care anyways.. Why would she buy something herself?

Me and her walked to the Boba shop and we saw the music freak girls there. I prayed Zoey wouldn't see them, I honestly didn't wanna start a fight with the pink haired devil.

I saw her look over at them and say "Drewie, wanna go annoy them? That looks like Jake's music freak girl-friend, with-" she started, but suddenly she shut up. Wasn't very often you got a single second of silence with Zoey, so I knew something was up.

"With the pink-haired devil-" I continued her sentence.

She scoffed, then quickly added on "Let's leave them alone."

I was shocked at her saying this, she'd usually take any chance she'd get to pick on them.

"Why?-" I asked.

The devil never *hurt* her, it was all fake tears. Zoey had told me that she was faking it to get the girl in trouble, I get that it was in public and we'd get asked to leave.. but even at school she hadn't even said a word about her, since their latest fight. She had stole her diary or something, and I don't know why but her nor Lia had been harassing her since.

"No reason!" she shot at me.

"Well you haven't been picking on her at all, what happened?-"

"It's none of your business!" she hissed, sorta like a snake. The devil wasn't wrong about that part of her..

When I got home I quietly shut the door, I had been hanging out at Liam's all night and it was around 12am. My parents barely had any time for me anymore.. they were at work from 8am until 1am everyday all day, and went to bed as soon as I got home. They were always in a rush.. but I still got a lot of money, which was nice.

I went to my room to text Jake, then I remembered what had happened today. I went to my room and checked my phone anyways. I saw a text from Jake. I was anxious about it but at the same time praying he was just asking for an apology, or trying to make it better.. but I saw something I just couldn't comprehend..
