Nine: Contemplation

This chapter is less confusing than chapter eight. A LOT less confusing. 

Also, WARNING THERE IS SOME SUSPICIOUS CONTENT!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

*Sean POV*

All around the cobblers bench the monkey chased the weasel, the monkey thought it was all in fun, POP! Goes the weasel. 

I'm going insane.

I had to explain to Daisy, in detail, the insane plan that Milly concocted. She seemed to calm down and actually agreed to help me calm down the club under the sole condition that we go on a date.

Daisy and I walked back to the club, only to see Milly had solved the problem... Mostly.

Zander was still screaming about how it's irresponsible to talk to criminals, how stupid it was of Milly to not tell the club, etc.

"MILLY! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US! YOU COULD HAVE DIED, WHAT THE HELL!" screamed Zander.

"Okay, quit your hissy fit. It's all good bro! Totally fine!" said Milly, in a phony tone.

Zander wasn't satisfied with Milly's answer and only stopped when Luke stepped in.

"Zander, STOP!" yelled Luke, breaking his usual calm demeanour.

Zander stopped.

"Guys, should we still perform? I mean, I don't really trust Milly's criminal acquaintances," said Hailey

I considered what to say. On one hand, I kind of had faith that these criminals could stop Drew from blowing everyone up, but on the other hand, I didn't want to risk my life.

I decided that nothing was going to stop me or the club from playing our music on that stage.

"We need to play at the competition. We've been looking forward to it all year, and if we die, then so be it." I finally said.

Everyone was silent.

"You know what? Sean is right. Let's do it!" said Jake.

Everyone else slowly nodded, they almost seemed to be scared for their lives.

I was about to speak when Daisy opened the door and dragged me out of the club room.

"Let's walk from here, Sean." Daisy creepily said.

*Hailey POV*

How did this happen?

It was all so fast, the whole Sean and Daisy thing, getting the news that I could die, then the decision to risk my life. It's just too much.

I need to focus on the small things, like my relationship with Jake. I really want to tell everyone about us, but Jake doesn't want that. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up, we almost got caught by Sean and Milly, I think we should just bite the bullet.

I cancelled practice (yet again) solely because of the whole Drew thing. We decided to meet at my house at 7 to at least get something done. The whole day of school was a blur. All the little things started blurring together, I could only focus on the competition. I don't know if I could go on that stage knowing I could die. 

The only thing I did know is that I needed to perform, for Jake. It's been his dream for years, It would crush him if we didn't go.

Now I've got to 'fix' my relationship.

I texted Jake and told him to meet me at the front of the school. I went there and waited for five minutes.

"Hey, Hailey! Where are we going?" said Jake

"We're going to a... Special place," I responded

Jake looked confused but he grabbed my hand and we started walking towards the city park. I was glad that for once he decided to show me a tinge of affection for me in public. 

We eventually got to the park, I walked towards the forest. There's this really nice clearing in the middle of the forest, you can see the lake from there. It's absolutely stunning. It's also my favourite place in the world

I dragged Jake into the forest and led him to the clearing. Once we got there Jake audibly gasped. 

"This place is... beautiful, just like you princess..." he said

I blushed.

"Look, we need to talk,"

The awed look on Jake's face was replaced with worry.

"What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me? Wha-"

"Stop being so paranoid, it's nothing that serious!"

"So, what do we need to talk about"

I took a deep breath.

"Jake, I can't keep doing this thing in secret. I've liked you for a long time, ever since you sang that day, and I don't think I can stop myself anymore. It's just all of that built-up emotion is gushing out and I just can't anymore." I practically blurted out, like an anime schoolgirl.

"I understand that. To be honest, I feel the same. I thought I wasn't ready for anyone to know, but I think it could be better if they do. We should tell the club tomorrow."

Well, that went better than I thought.

"Thanks for understanding... I love you, Jake."

"I-I love you too Hailey,"

He leaned in for a kiss, so did I.

"Wanna do something stupid?"

*Milly POV*

THERE IS SOME SUSPICIOUS CONTENT IN THIS SECTION!

I've been hanging around the park since 3 just waiting to confess. I feel so desperate right now. 

It's almost 5 now, that's when Eliott said he'd show up. I'm starting to get really nervous. I told Sean that I was planning on telling Eliott how I feel, he said that Eliott 100% likes me back, but I'm not so sure. Just so I don't make a total fool of myself, I'm gonna confess in a really roundabout way.

I'm gonna ask if he likes anyone and I think I'll know if he likes me based on his response. 

Eliott sucks at lying.

I'd just been sitting and sipping water for nearly two hours, I really need to pee. I walked over to the bathrooms, taking in the scenery of the park. It's so surreal that a place this beautiful can exist in the middle of a city this big.

I stopped in front of the bathrooms, they looked pretty untouched. They were well maintained on the outside, I just hope the inside isn't gross. I hate public bathrooms.

I opened the door and saw something truly disturbing.

I saw Jake pinning Hailey to the wall. They were kissing and I mean like really going to town. Their clothes were half off with another item of equal value and their hand were all over each other. It was a... Colourful scene.

 Basically, they were making out in this seemingly random bathroom for seemingly no reason. 

So, I did the only logical thing.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING!?"

TBC...
