More Than Just A Friend

Chapter 13

Not proofread, it's a long one

Oakley's POV

I sit in my room with a pillow under my foot, went to the doctor and they said it was a sprain and I'm in this stupid brace for three weeks

I read my book irritatedly as I find out that Mo has a fever along with Charlie confessing his feelings to her and she rejected him along with her dad on her ass about dating again

Charlie has three broken fingers due to the rejection, as I read my door opens and closes causing me to look over and see Olivia

"Hey...how was your date with Wen" I say and she looks at me with a sad face

"H-he was a jerk...he doesn't want to talk about his new step mother...he's being ungrateful...he also said that maybe this is a sign to call the band quits" She says and I notice her voice getting gravely

"You ok...,your voice sounds different" I say worriedly as Olivia waves me off

"I yelled at him and lost my voice but I'm fine...just stressed because our opportunity is falling out of our hands" She says upset, I grab my crotches and stand up causing her to look at me

"W-where are you going" She says

"To get you some tea and your favorite M&M's...wait here and when I get back you can tell me everything" I say before walking out the room hearing Olivia sigh
———————————————-

I make my way quickly into the police station as I found out the band got arrested somehow

"Oakley she's fine slow down or you'll fall" My grandmother says and I sigh as I get the side seating

"I know I just- I'm worried about the band and what happened, wish I was there to stop it" I say and my grandmother sighs heavily before sitting next to me

"Oakley......I've seen you over the years since your father went away and your mother passed...you've been so focused on everyone from me and your sister to your team and now your band mates...I haven't seen you focus on yourself and how you feel" She says and I look down as she rubs my back

"Sweetheart.....it's time to protect yourself and be there for you....you made the right call being in this band and I love that your protective of it and you can protect it but......think of yourself..it's ok to do that and you won't hurt anyone for doing it" She finishes and I nod understandingly

"Thank you Grandma" I say and she nods before pulling me into a hug, as we pull away I see Olivia and the band come out of the back

I get up and go over to Olivia and pull her into a hug

"Don't worry us again like that.....how is everyone" I say

"We're good...I think we're still going to preform" She says causing me to smile, we all hug and turn to leave when I see Mo and her parents

I tell Olivia and my grandmother that I'll come to the car in a minute before walking over to them

"Hello Mr and Mrs Banjaree...hey Mo" I say nervously

"Hello Oakley.....we know about you and Mo" Her father says and my face falls causing me to look at Mo and she smiles a bit causing me to smile before looking to her parents

"Oh.....I'm sorry for not asking you both for her hand first" I ramble causing them to laugh

"It's ok.....just treat our daughter right" Her mother says and I smile  and shake both their hands
