Holding On (Janoskian Fanfiction)

Chapter Seventeen

Elodie's P.O.V

I woke up feeling cold and opened my eyes to find myself covered in a sheet without any clothes on and Beau lying next to me.

I started to panic but then I remembered the events of last night and relaxed into my bed. I looked at the time and it was 1pm, so I stood up and put on a over sized jumper and some comfortable jogging bottoms.

I walked downstairs and knew the others would be sleeping because Beau and I heard them come back at 3am. I grabbed a granola bar and ate it as I made my way down to the basement.

Once I got down there, I walked to the music room and sat down on the piano stool and played simple songs to warm up. I hadn't played in ages!

As soon as my fingers pressed down on the keys and beautiful sounds came out of the instrument. I felt at home and I relaxed into the sea of music.

I started to play 'Someone like you,' by Adele and I let my voice come out and sing to the music.

Beau's P.O.V

I reached my arm out over the bed and tried to find Elodie, but I looked over to see it empty. I sat up and put on a t-shirt and boxers and walked into the hallway.

Luke, Jai, Jess, James, Skip and I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. There still wasn't a sign of Elodie and we all sat at the table and ate some cereal.

When everything was silent, a small noise came from underneath us. We all looked at each other quizzically and Jess explained, "Elodie is a gifted music student and she's amazing at singing, piano and guitar."

We all sneaked down the stairs silently and followed the melody of someone like you by Adele down the hallway and into the music room.

The door was open and we stood there just listening to her amazing voice. I've been Elodie's girlfriend for nearly 3 weeks and I never knew she was this good!

Her voice made us stay where we were and made us want to listen. It brought a tear to my eye and her voice contained so much emotion, goose pimples lined my skin.

When she finished, she placed her hands on her lap and we all applauded. She spun around sharply and looked at us in surprise. Her cheeks burst with shades of red and she hid her face in her hands.

"That was AMAZING!" "WOW!" "I didn't know you played piano!" "Why aren't you a professional!?" "Babe, you are spectacular!" "OMG!"

Comments filled the air and Elodie looked up and smiled. "Thank you," she murmured.

We all ran in for a group hug and Elodie giggled in the middle of it.

"Why didn't tell me you could play guitar and piano! We could do a duet!" Luke cried and she laughed.

"You never asked!"

Later that day, Elodie agreed to give us all a performance on her guitar. She placed a chair on the floor and sat down. Luke secretly got his camera out and began recording.

She started playing 'Fall' by Justin Beiber and her voice just filled the room and there were no other noises.

Everyone had their eyes trained on her and her voice was indescribable! It wasn't just good, it was better than more singers.

When she had finished, we all clapped and she bowed dramatically. Luke stopped recording and uploaded it straight to our blog.

Jess's P.O.V

Elodie's voice has always been amazing and I've always known, but she refuses to believe it.

I looked at Luke and saw him recording which was good because now she might get recognised.

Skip squeezed my hand and I pecked him on the cheek. I really liked Skip, but I can't stop thinking about when he needs to leave back to Australia! How can I keep a long distance relationship? I can't even keep a relationship with a boy that lives on my road.

I know that what I have with Skip is special and he makes me feel like I'm the only girl in the world for him. I know it hasn't been long, but I think I love him?

I don't want him to leave!

When Elodie finished, we applauded and went out to the shops. Elodie and I went to Urban Outfitters, while the others went to some hat shop.

I bought some heels and Elodie got a top with an Aztec print. We walked to the shop the boys were at and saw that Ashlee was talking to them. I shook my head and saw Ashlee advance onto Beau, Elodie stiffened at my side.

I stormed over to her, anger burning inside me and I yanked at her hair, causing her to yelp.

She fell backwards, tripped over a step and landed into a fountain.

I laughed and saw the boys stifling their giggles. Beau reached over and pulled her out, giving us a 'I can't just leave her there' look. Elodie gave him a weird look as he pulled her out the fountain and stand her up.

"Thank you Beau," she said, running her hands on his chest.

I grabbed her wrists and pulled her so we were face to face. "Don't you dare touch my best friends boyfriend!"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't touch him, but he won't be able to keep his hands off me!" she hissed.

"Honey, the only thing that wants to touch you is your skin cause it has no choice," I growled pinching her skin.

She yelped and walked in the direction of the toilets to probably dry off.

"Mutt!" I grumbled, as Skip wrapped his arms around me to cool me down.

"Violence isn't the answer!" Beau exclaimed.

"So if a boy was touching Elodie, you wouldn't hurt them?" I shouted at him. "Are you Ashlee's best friend now or something cause you didn't really stop her from touching your chest in front of your girlfriends face!"

Beau was speechless and I grabbed Elodie's hand and we walked off. Elodie smiled at me but I could tell it was fake. I heard foot steps behind us and I was preparing to tell Beau to piss off but it was Luke.

"Beau looks really sorry and he didn't know it looked like that. He doesn't have any feelings for Ashlee!"

Elodie's P.O.V

When Beau helped Ashlee out of the fountain, I felt lost. Why did he help her? Couldn't he see that she was all over him?

"Thank you Beau!" she said in her scratchy voice, rubbing her hands on his chest. He didn't do anything to stop her and I felt my heart crack.

"Don't you dare touch my best friends boyfriend!"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't touch him, but he won't be able to keep his hands off me!" she hissed.

"Honey, the only thing that wants to touch you is your skin cause it has no choice," Jess growled pinching her skin.

She yelped and walked in the direction of the toilets.

"Mutt!" Jess grumbled, as Skip comforted her. Why wasn't Beau comforting me?

"Violence isn't the answer!" Beau exclaimed.

"So if a boy was touching Elodie, you wouldn't hurt them?" Jess screamed at him. "Are you Ashlee's best friend now or something cause you didn't really stop her from touching your chest in front of your girlfriends face!" Understanding crossed his face and Jess took my hand and led me away.

Luke ran after us and explained how Beau felt. I felt a bit better, but still felt let down.

I went home and lay on my bed. Soon my eyelids began to droop and I fell into a light sleep.
