💝Felling Safer With You💝

Feeling safer with you
Angst/Fluff?

"I mean, don't you think is weird how they let you join the club after everything?" Drew said as he ate a piece of his sandwich "Yeah, I know that you have 'an angelic voice' and stuff, but they didn't exactly liked you back then... Just like they don't like any of us"
I stayed quiet and started to have a small debate with myself about how to aswer him. I mean, I used to have this doubt too, but Hailey aswered my question last weekend. But the thing is, how can I explain it to my friends? If I say that it's because "I sing with my heart and soul" they'll just laugh...
"Well I... I talked to Hailey about it other day and... She said it was a mix of reasons-" I bit my tongue and close my eyes as I finished the setence. Horrible aswer, horrible aswer!
"PFFT-" Henry spilt the lettuce juice he was drinking and started to laugh along with the others
"What's so funny?" I asked trying to cut them off
"Dude- how can you be SO naive- They're obviously using you" Liam said as he tries to stop laughing
"What?- No they're not!" I aswered with a hint of annoyence in my voice. The club would never do that. Right?
"Boy, do I really need to remind you that the only reason why the whole school is coming for the competetion in the first place is you ?" Drew said looking at me as I look down "They're just taking advantage of your popularity so then they can have something to feel cocky about once in their lifes"
"That's not true!" I said putting my head up "They're not like that. They let me in because I have a passion for music just like them!" I let out a small gasp and quickly put my hands on my mouth as I realize what I just said. Damn, I really need to control my tongue... I already know what's coming
"OH MY LORD- THOSE NERDS ARE REALLY INFECTING YOU BAHAHAHA" Henry said running out of breath
"SERIOUSLY DUDE?? ARE YOU REALLY TURNING INTO A MUSIC FREAK  LIKE THEM???" Drew said with a malicious laugh
My eyes widen as I hear the words "music freak" coming from Drew's mouth. I don't know wich flashback is worse... Me getting called "music freak" at middle school, or me calling the club "music freaks" before I joined them... Were my so called "friends" really calling me that?
I quietly start to organize my food on the tray getting ready to leave
"Where do you think you're going?" Drew said as he finally stops laughing
"Pratice." I mumble as I stand up grabbing the tray
"But you didn't even finish your food" Liam says confused as he breaths heavily
"I lost the appetite." I said on a cold tone. I was about to leave the table before I felt something aggressively grabbing my arm and holding me back... It was Drew.
"Hell no." He said moments before making me face him
"DREW- What are you doing?! Let me go!" I said angrily as I drop the tray on the table
"What's that now?! You're going to whine to your freak friends just because of a joke?" He said squeezing my arm. Damn, he's pretty strong...
"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! It's just... The competetion is this Friday and I really  need to pratice... That's it! Now let me go" I say as I start to push him away but he pulls my arm again
"OHH RIGHT- You gotta go please miss uptight isn't it? Honestly Jake, what the hell is wrong with you?! Ever since you joined that freak band, you've been acting weird! You're turning into a freak! "
I felt like crying over Drew's words, but I kept my pride and blew up
"GET AWAY FROM ME!!" I yell as I finally push him away from me and put my hand on my arm. Everyone in the cafeteria looks at us and start to whisper. I look down embarrased, as Drew stares at me with anger in his eyes
"WHAT ARE YALL LOOKING AT???!!!" He screamed looking to the people that were staring at us wich made them look away and stop whispering. Liam and Henry continued eating their food silently, slightly embarrased of their friend's behaviour
"See you guys in science class." I whisper as I walk away and hear a small "bye" from Henry.
When I got rid of my tray that still had some lunch in it, I start to rub my arm that Drew pulled. Agh, it hurts like hell!
I pull my sleeve up and I got shocked with what I saw. I had a big, red mark on my arm. Since when is Drew that strong?! I touch the mark and bite my lips in pain.
"I think I should wash it in the bathroom..." I whisper to myself as I put the sleeves down "It's better not let the club see this-"
I was about to leave the room before I heard a familiar laugh... It was a female and bubbly voice... Milly.
I look around and I see her sitting with the rest in the club on a table in the corner. They haven't finish eating yet?
I look to the clock in the wall. It's still 11:40?!? Pratice will only start at 12:30!
I sigh in defeat knowing that is not worth going to the clubroom at this time giving that the club members didn't even finish eating yet. I look to them again. And an idea comes into my head... Maybe I could... No, no Jake! That would be embarassing. They'll probally say "no". But... I'll never know if I don't ask, right?
I slowy start to approach the club's table. Each 5 steps I would make a small pause wondering if I should really do it or not. After some time, I finally get the confidence and start to walk fastly

Nobody's pov
5 kids were sitting on a small table in the corner. A small purple guy was telling a story about him roasting a lady at the Heather's Store with a proud tone. His boyfriend was paying attetion to every single detail looking at him passionately, his step sister was just drinking her orange juice with no interest on the story after hearing it 7 times,the boy wearing a blue hoodie on the table was just hearing music in his earphones, and the pinky young girl was laying her head on the table wondering when her purple friend would shut up. Her eyes were full of boredom, until she noticed someone familiar approaching the table.
"Then I told her-" Zander was about to finish his setence until he got interrupted by a shy voice saying "Uuh- Hi?.."
They all turned around to face the young, blonde boy that was standing infront of their table timidly
"Hey there Jake!" Sean greeted with a cheerful tone as he strip the earphones
"Do you need something?" Hailey asked with a friendly smile. She was kinda suprised. Jake barely talks to them outside the clubroom, especially when his friends are around... Speaking of wich, shouldn't he be having lunch with them right now?
"Uhhh actually-" Jake said rubbing his neck "I'm sorry for bother but- I wanted to ask.." He looked down as the club members looked at him curious  "Can I... Sit with you guys... Today..?"
Milly's eyes sparkled as she listens to his request. She quickly stands up
"WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT???? OF COURSE YOU CAN!!!" She said with an excited smile until she realizes how loudly she said that.
Everyone around them stared at their table. Jake's face went all red. It was the second time people were staring at him today
"Milly!" The club members whipered-shouted in union as she giggles awkardly
"Hehe- Sorry-" She said sitting down
"Sorry about that Jake" Luke sighed in pity of how embarrased the singer was looking
"It's fine-" he said quietly, still looking down. He takes a breath and finally got the guts to put his hands on the empty chair in the corner and sits down
"Uhh.. Jake?"
"Yes, Hailey?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad that you chose sit with us today, but.. You always sits with your friends.. So why you don't wanna sit with them today? Did something happen?" Hailey looked at her singer with concern as everyone turns at him waiting for an aswer
"Yeah, Hailey's right, that's really unexpected" Zander said with a suspicious look
"Uhh-" he was about reply until a sound of hunger interrupted coming from his stomach making the 5 friends giggle as Jake looks down kinda embarrased
"Woah, looks like someone is hungry. You didn't eat?" Sean said looking at the younger one
"Well... No" Jake giggled awkardly
"Well, hunger is not something to be played with. Here, have my sandwich. I'm already satified" He said handing it to Jake
"Thanks" He said with a shy grin

Jake's pov
What am I doing what am I doing what am I doing WHAT AM I DOING??? IT WAS AN HORRIBLE IDEA-I SHOULDN'T BE HERE! WHAT IF MY FRIENDS SEE ME??? WHAT IF THE CLUB GET SUSPICIOUS OF ME AGAIN??? WHAT IF I MESS UP EVERYTHING??? WHAT IF-
"So, how is your day going so far Jake?" A calm voice interrupted my thoughts. I turn around to see Luke smiling softly at me
"Uhhh, is doing good so far, nothing new." I said the first thing that came into my mind
"Well, except for you sitting with us of course, that's something REALLY new" Milly said in a goofy tone that makes the others laugh and I awkardly laugh along
"Well uh- guess I just wanted to try something new" I said with a small smile
"Well, I'm glad that you decided to have lunch with us. It shows that you feel confortable around us!" Hailey said in a cheerful tone as I feel my cheeks turning pink
"Well, yeah I guess you're righ-" I feel my wrist bump into something, and before I knew, there was juice spilt everywhere
"OH SHI-" Milly almost swore
"YOUR CLUMSY ASS-" Zander complained
"OH MY GOD- IM SORRY I DIDN'T-" I started to apolagize until Hailey cut me off
"Jake chill, It's fine" She giggled as she cleans the mess I made with a tissue that she always carries on her pocket
"I'm so sorry Hailey- I'll buy another juice for you I promise!" I said feeling guilty meawhile being a blush mess. Jesus, what is wrong with me today??
"Jake relax, there's really no need to worry" She said putting her hand in my shoulder wich made me calm down
"Wow, is the confident Jake Sterling really that awkard just for sitting with us?" Milly teased with a smirk as the others laugh
"S-shut up!" I said as I look away
"Well, anyways, as I was saying-" Zander started trying to continue his story about roasting the lady
"Ughhh here we go again" Milly whined rolling her eyes wich made me giggle
"You better not interrupt me Millicent" Zander said in a moody tone
"Zander, don't be like that" Luke scolded

We all started to chat happily as I start to feel more confortable about sitting with them in every laugh. Sitting with the club was so different of sitting with my friends... With the club, I didn't need to be careful with everything I say to not be judged. With the club, I didn't have to eat in a hurry to get out of an unconfortable situation. With the club, I didn't put my head down and stayed in silence trying not to cry in any moment. With the club...

I felt safer
