His Soothing Voice - A Tmf Fanfiction (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 10 - The Hangout

Jake POV: I didn't expect Drew to actually agree to it, but I'm sort of glad he did.. I still didn't really fully forgive him. We quietly walked down the corridors, neither of us saying a word to eachother. I barley even noticed it until he acknowledged it.

"Jake, we're holding hands-"

I quickly jerked my hand away.

"Er, sorry."

The walk was getting a bit awkward but we were still walking in silence.

"Do you want to hangout at my place tonight..?" he asked me, finally breaking the tension.

"Oh, sure," I replied, still a bit unsure if I was busy or not.

We ended up splitting up a few moments later, and I was left wondering why he had agreed to it.. He had been calling me a freak just yesterday..

Drew POV: I wondered how much longer it would be until Jake got here, the it would be almost 6:00pm soon. I wanted to talk to him about why I bullied the club and stuff.. But he didn't show up. He was probably just late.. Right? I heard my phone go off and I ran to pick it up. It was a text from Jake, I swear..

'Sorry, I can't come over rn, apparently there's band practise tonight, but I can come over in like 30 minutes or whatever'

Well that was great, now I was gonna be bored for like half an hour. Did he even like me anymore? What if he had expected me to say no to the offer from earlier?

'If you don't want to be friends its fine, Jake. You don't have to come over'

'Drew I do want to be friends, I was just annoyed at you constantly teasing me and stuff. I just have a band practise, I'll be over in a bit. I had no clue we were gonna have one btw'

I sighed, and put down my phone. At least he was gonna come over.. Right? I hoped.

Jake POV: I had arrived at Hailey and Zander's, a few minutes late.

"Oh, hey Jake!" Hailey greeted me. Zander standing right by her, obviously not impressed.

"Sorry I'm late, I forgot how far away your house was," I chuckled a bit.

"It's fine, just try not to be late every time you come to practise," Zander grumbled back.

"Come in, we seriously need to get more on track," Hailey added, letting me inside.

It had been around 15 minutes since we had a short practise and we were taking a break, me and Milly were talking and she asked me if Drew did anything.

"Milly, it's fine, he didn't hurt me or threaten me or whatever," I laughed a bit.

"I hope not," Milly sighs and ends up changing the subject.

We talk for a while before I suddenly realize I should've probably left a few minutes ago.

"I'm going to get going now, see you guys!"

I slowly walked into Drew's house, looking for him.

"Jake?" Drew called from the other room.

I quickly walked over to his room, "Hey Drew."

He was sitting on his bed, eating a bowl of popcorn. He was leaned against a couple of pillows. I walked over to him and sat beside him.

"Oh, hey Jakey," I blush a bit at his nickname. He'd been calling me that basically ever since we met, it was sometimes sort of cute honestly, "Want some popcorn?"

"Sure," I replied, grabbing a handful.

"Uh, do you wanna watch a movie or something?" he asked me, looking over at me.

I stared into his chestnut eyes gleaming beautifully in the dim light with the T.V. reflecting onto them, I'd seen them before but tonight they seemed mesmerizing, dreamy even. I had never really payed that much attention to his pyshical features, but I couldn't deny he was hot. I wasn't gay though!

...I think I'm not at least-

"Uh, Jake?"

"Oh- I, Uh- Yeah, uhm- Sure."

Drew POV: As we watch the movie I wondered if Jake really did hate me, but I couldn't be sure. I wasn't really paying attention to anything but my thoughts, until someone interrupted me.

"Drew? Are you cold or something? You're shaking a bit."

I quickly glance over at him, then shook my head, trying to reassure him.

"Well is something wrong then?" He asked, our eyes locked onto the others.

I shook my head again but he still paused the movie and crawled closer over to me.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, Drew.. But I don't want that whole argument thing to make us awkward or whatever, you're still my homie!"

"Er.. Can I tell you something?.."

"Yeah, sure!"

"Well.. Uhm.. Jake, I've known for a like a long time that you could sing and didn't want to take part in the bullying," I muttered as his eyes widened.

"Wait, w-what?! How?!" he quickly spat out.

I grinned, sometimes he could be so clueless.

"I've heard you sing before back in elementary school, back before we were really friends,"

"We were never in the same class though? That was the only time anyone's ever really known about it.."

I replied, "I heard you sing outside a couple times though, you were really amazing. You still are, too."

"I thought you always hated music and stuff so you wouldn't like it.. but at the same time who couldn't like my singing?-"

He was so cocky sometimes.. But he wasn't wrong. Who wouldn't like his singing..? It was so calming and amazing.. He was so talented. I didn't want to admit I thought about it like that though.

"I mean- Yeah.. It's pretty good," I mumbled.

"How did you even hear me sing?"

"Er, I can explain all that another time.. Let's just hangout now," I awkwardly laughed a bit.

He sat confused for a couple seconds, then he went back over to where he was sitting before and turned the T.V. back on.

Jake POV: We both sat in silence while watching the movie, Drew still seemed to be shaking a bit but he seemed more focused on the movie now, unlike me. I wondered about everything he said, but I tried to shake it off. This was us hanging out, not a time to be stressed about the little things.

I suddenly I had been sort of glaring at him, and I quickly looked away to continue watching the movie.

"Remember when we did this when we were younger?" I asked him, mainly because I had no clue what was going on the movie by now.

"Oh, yeah I guess. I miss it a lot, y'know.. but you've just been ignoring me and hanging out so much more with the frea-" he quickly corrected himself but in a sort of annoyed tone, "the music club so much now.."

We're both silent for a couple of seconds, he seemed to be growing more and more annoyed I wasn't replying.. But I didn't really know what to say.

I ended up interrupting the silence, "I'm going to go home now, bye Drew."

"You can come over anytime you want," Drew called out to me, he sounded a bit upset to be honest but I just brushed it off.

Yeah I changed it, anyways it's almost 2am and I should get to sleep- Also yes I will still be taking the break. (If you didn't know I'm taking a break until around July due to school)
