More Than Just A Friend

Chapter 5

Oakley's POV

I come home and see Grandma in the living room with Nancy who's sleeping in her bed, I give Nancy a small pet before looking to my grandmother

"Hey grandma" I say catching her attention from her book

"Oh hi sweetheart, how was practice" She says and I smile

"It was great, I'm officially the only captain on the team now" I say and my grandma gets up and hugs me tightly as she cheers

"That's amazing sweetie, we can have your favorite tonight to celebrate oh and I almost forgot, Olivia is in the back with your friend Wen so she told me to send you back there when you came" She says and I smile and kiss her forehead

"Thank you Grandma, tell me when you start making the homemade pizza and salad so I can help" I say and she nods and rubs my back as I walk out to the door

I walk out to the backyard and see Wen and Olivia talking and laughing causing me to smile but then I see him look at her and I know that look....it's the same one I give Mo

"Hey sis......Wen" I say as I walk over to them, I put my hands protectively on Olivia's shoulders and look at Wen with a fake smile

"Oh hey.....Oakley, we were just writing the song for the Halloween bash, wanna hear" Wen says nervously

"Yea sure.....after you tell me why your looking at my sister that way" I say causing Olivia to get up and push me back, I see Wen shift uncomfortably in his seat as he tries to find a response but Olivia pulls me over to the side

"Oakley please......what was that" She says upset

"I will not have some random boy think he can just music his way into your pants like that, I've seen that look he gave you before" I say protectively

"Oak, he's not trying to get me in....in bed ok, he's my friend and I may like him a little so please just trust me that I know what I'm doing" Olivia says pleadingly

"Besides....you like Mo and I don't say anything" She adds causing me to look at her in shock, how did she know that

"That's different" I say and she sighs and kiss me cheek and looks at me

"I love you Oakley but it's obvious you like her and I love that you wanna protect me because I know you don't want me to deal with guys after dad but please......let me see what happens with Wen" Olivia says and I just nod in defeat

I want my sister to be happy but after my dad and how crushed she was when he went to prison, I don't want her being in a position to get hurt again especially by a guy she's just met

"Let's go write a song" I say and she smiles and pulls me over to where her and Wen are and we write for hours until he went home and dinner was about to be made
————————-

I walk with the band form the elevator as we talk about our last rehearsal

"We're gonna rock the Halloween bash" I say and high five Wen, I notice my sister not near me and I turn around to see her frozen in place, I walk up to her and look at her with concern

"Whats wrong liv" I say and she avoids eye contact

"I'm fine.....I- I'm totally fine" She says as she walks down with me, I look at her skeptically and Charlie looks at her

"It's ok to be nervous" he says and Olivia nods, Stella cheers us on and we all nod and smile as we head down to the dentition room

"I think I know just the thing to make us feel better" Stella says and we all collectively nod our heads

"Lemonade" We says and as we look in front of us, our smiles drop as we see the sign on the lemonade machine we use all the time say schedule for removal

"What the fuck" I say as I grab the sign and Stella takes it from me

"Ima see what this is about" She says as she head up

"I'm gonna go with her" Wen says before walking with her to the elevator, I look to Mo and she's a little upset

I pull her close as well as my sister as we head into the room with Charlie following

"Guys it's gonna be ok, our mascot may be down but that doesn't mean the team will fall" I say and my sister and Mo laugh a little

"You and the sports references" Mo says and I smile at her as she sits at the the desk and I sit on the teachers desk in front of her, I look over to see my sister looking at me with a knowing look before turning to Mo

"I'm not all about sports Mo.....I'll show you I'm not" I say playfully and she tilts her head and looks at me with a teasing smirk

"Really......how" She says teasingly

"Like this" I say before running over to the side and getting one of the guitars, I get started by strumming it before going full on rockstar and spin around and doing splits as I play the guitar solo in When doves cry by prince

"Wow Oakley.....you need to do that in the Halloween bash for sure" Mo says smiling at me as I let the guitar hang from my shoulder

"Yea I mean it will show we have what it takes" Olivia adds causing me to smile

"What about you Charlie....what do you think" I say as I look at him and so do the girls

"I completely agree" he says lowly, I sense the jealousy in his voice but I ignore it as I jump and strum the cords in the guitar at the same time causing the girls to laugh

Im even more determined to play for the band now....no matter the cost

A/n oh would ya look at that, look who updated this story after contemplating it for a week lol, ok well I'm a hoot I did because I wanna get to Oakley playing in the Halloween bash already and everything
