We're Different... We're Mermaids.

CH. XIII (13)

I woke at around 9 and the boys were still asleep. Trick time! I splashed Louis.

"Apex! What the heck!" Louis said.

"You still love me!" I said and sat by him with a towel.

"And I always will." he and leaned in to kiss me.

"Eh no, go brush your teeth then maybe I will kiss you." I said. He took the pills and got up. I heard the water turn on. He must have taken a shower because he took forever. I heard puking. I opened the door and he was leaning over the loo in a towel. I grabbed the hair that was in his face and held it back. I gave him some water and I dabbed his forehead to cool him down.

"You ok?" I asked and sat down on the floor by him.

"I guess, I have a headache." he said.

"No duh. You were wasted." I told him.

"I'm so sorry Apex." he said.

"It's ok. Just please don't get that drunk." he nodded and drank the water. I helped him into his room and left him alone to get dressed. I heard him say 'ok' telling me I can come back in. I walked in and he was sitting there in just pajama pants and no shirt. Abs much? Well ok then.

"How do you feel?" I asked, taking a seat next to him on the bed.

"My head is pounding and I feel like I've been shot." he said.

"Well, ok then." I laughed a little.

"Thank you for taking care of me." he said and smiled.

"Hey I had to. Your mine." I said and kissed him. I love him so much. He put his hand on the side of my face and I tangled my hands into his smooth hair. We pulled away and his hair was a mess.

"I love you." I said and smiled at him.

"I love you too." he kissed me again. I smiled into it.

"Apex! We have to go!!!" Payson yelled. We pulled apart and I growled.

"Ugh! I have class today. We have a concert this weekend if you all want to come." I said as we both got up.

"Ok. Love you!" he said as I walked out the door.

"Love you too!" I said. We went back to the school and changed. I'm wearing an off white tank top, short jeans, white converse and a stripped jacket. Payson is wearing a 'feels like Paris' tank, jean jacket, red skinny jeans, biker shoes, and a red beany. We met up with Alex, Lea, and Sarah.

"Hey guys." Lea said.

"Hey Apex. Can we talk after class?" Alex asked.

"Ya everything ok?" I asked him.

"Yes." he said and walked into class.

"What was that about?" Payson asked.

"Don't know. He wants to talk to me after class." I told her as we took our seat.

"Ok as you all know that we have a Talent show at the end of the week. I have picked your parents. Group one: Apex and Alex. 2: Lea and Jason. 3: Sarah and Chase. 4: Payson and James. All of u will perform together this Saturday. Get started." he said and let us begin.

"Ok I want to play Skyfall. Do you know how to play the piano?" I questioned.

"Ya." he said

"Good." I said. I felt eyes burning in my head. Someone's jealous. We started to work on the song. He got on the keyboard and played at the beginning. Then I started to sing.

'This is the end...

Hold your breath and count to 10

Feel the earth move and then

Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end

I've drowned and dreamt this moment

So overdue I owe them

Swept away, I'm stolen.'

"Class dismissed." said the teacher.

"Wow! You have a really good voice, Apex!" Alex said. We got everything and walked out if class.

"What did you want to talk about with me?" I asked him.

"ok I really like Sarah and I don't know how to ask her out." he said.

"Aw! Ok just go ask her out to her face. She won't say no." He nodded and left. 5 minutes later Sarah came running up to my looking like she was about to explode.

"He asked you out didn't he?" she nodded.

"Ok go outside and scream." she ran out the door and I laughed. We walked to the dorm room and chilled. I met up with Alex that night to practice.

"Ok so tomorrow night we will meet up and practice. 7?" He nodded and I got up and walked out his dorm and to my own. I walked in and Payson looked worried.

"Pay what's wrong?" I asked.

"Louis called and asked where your were. I told him you were rehearing with Alex. He asked me who he was and I said her partner. He got mad and hung up." she said.

"Ok calm down you did nothing wrong. He over reacted. Let me call him." She nodded. I grabbed my phone and dialed his number.

'What?' he snapped.

'Chill. Alex is my friend. I was rehearing with him because he is my partner for the talent show this weekend. Besides he has a girlfriend who is not me.' I told him.

'You should have told me he was.' he said.

'We just found out today ourselves. I don't know what got you so worked up but whatever it is, it better stop. Don't call me until you have calmed down.' then I hung up.

"Well ok then..." Payson said. We got ready for bed and fell asleep. Tomorrow is the last day of practice. Yay.

*Next Day*

I woke up and got ready. I walked out the door and to the studio.

"Apex!" Someone yelled. I turned around and saw Alex.

"Hey ready to go practice?" I asked.

"Of course." he replied with a smile. We walked together to the studio and got ready.

"Are you ready for the concert tomorrow?" he asked.

"Yes! Just a little nervous."

"Why? Because Adele herself will be there?" he asked.

" What?! I didn't know that!" I screeched.

"Chill. She'll love it." he said and patted my hand.

"I hope." I was even more nervous now. The day went by fast. I'm so nervous for the concert tomorrow!
