Chapter 4: The Band

Chapter 4

Heather's Pov

I was driving and wouldn't get to have my shake until I stopped at a traffic light here and there," Which way am I going?" I asked.

"Oh the address is," Joey said and rattled off the address for me, I knew that area sort of so hopefully I could find it.

"Thanks so it's a band, how many people?" I asked.

"Including myself it's five guys," he answered, in between sipping on his milkshake.

As I was driving I decided to drink my own milkshake with one hand and drive with the other one, very careful driving I might add. Ana knew that I wanted my milkshake and handed it to me, as I was keeping my eyes on the road while driving and took the shake from her.

"Thanks girl," I said as I took the straw into my mouth to take a sip of it, it had started to melt a little bit but was still good.

The car ride wasn't filled with its usual chaotic chatter and fun, it was filled somewhat with silence.

"I took care of Bridget's ass she won't be bothering you again," I said to Anabella finally.

"Mmmm," she muttered.

From the backseat Joey sighed," Well great," he said," You're still fucking pissed at me."

"Whatever Joe. You want to date trash, I can't stop you," Anabella grumbled quietly and put the straw of her milkshake into her mouth to take another sip of it.

"I hate when you do that, " he said quietly.

"Yeah well I hate always being the one you forget about or leave behind," she replied.

"Come on can't you two like stop or chill or something?" I finally asked them. I had never really seen them fighting but than I spent most of my free time Anabella , just us girls doing girl stuff.

"We're about five minutes from rehearsal now anyways," Joey replied finishing his milkshake.

By the time that we had reached rehearsal, Anabella and I had finished with our milkshakes too. We reached the building where the guys of New Kids On The Block rehearsed, and the door opened to reveal an older woman, a motherly like figure.

"Joseph!" she said," They thought you weren't coming today."

"Hey Mary," Joey said," Why?"

I for the life of me couldn't figure out what made Donnie, Jordan, Jon and Danny think that I wasn't coming to rehearsal.

"They all got here early which is probably why," Mary answered him.

"Well I'm sorry I thought we were keeping the same time for rehearsal because I still have school right now," I reminded.

"It's fine go ahead," Mary said.

"I brought friends today, they want to watch. Is that okay?" I asked her.

"Joseph that's not up to me," Mary reminded him.

"Please please," I said.

"Alright they can come. If anyone asked I said it was okay," Mary said allowing Anabella and Heather into the building with me. I hurried and we threw our milkshake cups into the trash can nearby and I led the girls into the room where we were rehearsing.

The minute that I entered that room five heads turned to look at me including Maurice's.

"Joey you made it!" Maurice said thrilled.

"Yeah sorry someone didn't tell me rehearsal was starting early," I said looking at my bandmates.

"I called your house, your Mom said you were in school obviously," Donnie said," The rest of us got half days. Parent Teacher Conferences."

I sighed, that was because they all went to a different highschool and were nearly done with it anyway, well Jon wasn't in highschool anymore but the other three were.

"We've got everyone here now!" Maurice said jovially, " So I'm leaving Donnie in charge. I have a meeting, gonna set up something big for you guys! Your manager is going to sign off on this!"

"Yeah," I said slightly distracted.

"Are we getting to work or what?" Donnie asked me.

"Yeah sure," I said and turned to Anabella and Heather," You girls can hang out off to the side or out in the hallway wherever."

"Sure," Heather said as she and Anabella moved to the side out of our way, there were a couple folding chairs so they sat in those. Our rehearsal space wasn't huge but big enough to fit a couple people to watch and us to work on dancing and singing.

The first song the guys seemed to be going through even though it looked like they knew it in their sleep was something called The Right Stuff, maybe? From the lyrics I could tell from the chorus portion where they sang the song going :

You got the right stuff, baby

Love the way you turn me on

You got the right stuff, baby

You're the reason why I sing this song

It was their dance moves however that surprised me, and Joey was really good. The whole time I had known him he didn't seem to be the master of dancing. I was amazed at their dancing skills on a whole and the song, even if it was just one song I'd heard besides the one called Please Don't Go GIrl, which Joey had played for me before.

They rehearsed a couple of more songs, with a little bit of cutting up too just being boys. When they went to take a break, Heather asked if she could get her homework from her car to start on some of it. That was when Donnie noticed Anabella and me

"Friends," Joey said to Donnie.

Donnie raised an eyebrow," Joey if you have two girlfriends I'm not going to say anything," he joked.

"Haha!" Joey said.

"I'm sure you can get that homework," Anabella told Heather.

"Okay I'll be quick," I promised and rushed out the room to go out to my car and grabbed my backpack and returned.
