Chapter 8 Dates and Questions

Cora pov
The week went by so fast, it was unbelievable. Saturday, I woke to the sun in my face on my room. I can hear Dante downstairs snoring. Buzz buzz

Shygirl- hey, u up?
Musicgal- yeah Alexis. What's up?
Shygirl- yip asked me out!! :) :) :)
Musicgal- wat?! That's awesomeness!
Shygirl- I needz help!
Musicgal- with what
Shygirl- duh! My look
Musicgal- rly?
Shygirl- plz! Plzplzplz!
Musicgal- ugh! Fine! Come over here. Dante won't mind
Shygirl- omi (oh my Irene) ur the best!
Musicgal- yeah yeah.

I got off my phone and noticed it was 10. Strange, I never sleep in late. I put on a blue tie-dye shirt and some jeans. I brushed my hair. As I am walking out of the room, my hip hit my book case. A brown, leather book fell. I pick it up. The words, Cora's song book. Don't read is written in bold. I open in and see my scribble of handwriting from a few years ago on the first page. But where there isn't any paper, this is written:
Dear my baby,
I hope you use this to let out or feelings. I know things have been hard with your father and half brothers, but it will be ok. I am broken to. I don't care what you write, as long as it makes you feel better. I love you baby.
~ love your caregiver
Momma.
A tear rolled down my cheek. I wiped it away. Mom's always there for me. Always. I read a few songs I have written. Wow, these are old. But good. Maybe I can tune these up to make good ones. I smile and put it back in its place for when i need it. Ding dong
Alexis is here. "Hey girl!" I say when I open to door. "Hey." She comes in. Her cheeks are red. "Hey, are you ok?" I ask with concern on my voice. She crouches to the ground. "N-no."
I help her up and bring her to the basement. It's right down the hall. It's more of a man cave/ studio/ study. When we reach it, I sit her down in the couch. "What's wrong?"
"...I don't understand.."
"What? What don't you understand?"
"My brother. He was so caring when we were younger. But just now...he said...I need to be more beautiful.." She looks at me with sad eyes. The tears threatened to come back.
"You beautiful Alexis. Ignore him. Yip and you are perfect together."
"Really?"
I wipe the makeup off her face, "You don't have to try so hard. You don't have to give it all away, you have to get up. You don't need to give it all away. Take your makeup off, take a breath, look into the mirror, do you like you? Cause I like you." I say, calminly. I said the words from one of my favorite songs. She smiles, "you got that out of Try. That song. Thanks. I love that song."
I smile. I love making people feel better. I go to the closest and look for dresses I put down here, because I don't normally wear them. "What time is Yip getting you?"
"Around three. We are go into go to a movie and then dinner."
I think, something not to fancy but beautiful. I search a little bit. "Hey, what's this?" Asked Alexis. I turn to see her near the movies. She holds a case that says Cora's talent show! In bold. I put it here so I don't have to watch it. "Erm....that's my talent show performance when I was younger. I was home schooled, but there was a talent show in town."
"Did you win?" She asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Yeah. Well, second. A really good singing group won."
"I bet you were great! Can we watch it?"
I thought. Then I decided to let it go, "I'm calling Aphmau and Cadenza to help. I can't decide!"
Alexis seemed confused but looked at the case again. I got my phone and called Aphmau first. "Hey Cora! What's up?"
"Hey Aph. I need help-"
"AARON ASKED YOU OUT?!"
"What?! No! Alexis is going out with Yip. She needs help and I need help choosing."
She sounded disappointed, "alright."
"I'm also going to call Cadenza. She can also help."
"Yeah, ok. See ya!"
"Bye."
And i hung up. I scrolled through my contacts and found her. "Cora?"
"Hey cadenza-"
"DID AARON ASK YOU OUT?!"
"Why do people think that?! No! Alexis is going out with Yip. She needs help and I need help choosing."
She sighed, "alright. Is Aph coming too?"
"Yeah, see ya cadenza."
"Bye."
Time skip
I'm upstairs in the kitchen making chips and salsa for everyone. Little did I know that Dante had invited Aaron, Garroth, and Laurence to hang out. Now everyone was in the basement hanging out. Alexis had chosen her outfit and hair style. "Stupid boy" I heard a family voice say. Dang it Alexis. I grab everything and head to them, sure enough, they're watching my talent shoe performances. They're on my second performance. Stupid Boy, was the song. Near the end, they are near the part when I had to drag on the song where I almost lost my breath.
"Wow!" They exclaimed
"Same old, same old stupid boy. It took a while for her to figure out she could run. And she did. And she was long gone, long gone." I chimed in. They turned and blushed. I had a scowl on my face because I had told them not to watch it. I set the tray down and turned off the TV.
"Why don't you sing more often?" Asked my brother. "Because I don't want to."
"But you have such a beautiful voice!" Said Aaron. Then I saw him blush.
"Come on, please?! Just once?" Asked Aphmau, her voice full of plea. I rolled my eyes and came up with an excuse. "My voice has gotten off key."
"I heard you singing in the shower! Your voice is fine!" Said Dante. I sigh. "Request?" I say sarcastically. Cadenza, Aph, and Alexis give each other this look, like they want me to do one song to embarrass me. Alexis grabs my phone and opens the song. I grunt as I plug in the speaker to my phone. "I'm really doing this?"
"Yeah," said Laurence. "Go for it." Said Garroth. Arron just smiles a little cricked smile. His brown eyes sparkled. I took a deep breath and begin, play music

Captured my attention, make my heart stop and listen
When you look my way
Blue jeans and a ball cap, thinking that you're all that
And I'm thinking the same

You got that something in your eyes, I think about it all the same
If you ever wonder if I wanna make you mine

Yeah, boy
I'm digging what you're doing
Yeah, boy
I'm trying to keep it cool
But you're making it hard, I'm wishing your arms
Were wrapping me up tight
Yeah, boy
You shine and you can't even help it
Yeah, boy
Your eyes could make the moon jealous
And if you wanna know if I wanna be your girl tonight
Yeah, boy

Every song that's playing gets me thinking about you, baby
And the way you roll
So let's put down the drop top, burn a little blacktop
Off of that road

Baby, what we waiting on?
The stars are out, the night is young
If you wanna know if I wanna go and get gone

Yeah, boy
I'm digging what you're doing
Yeah, boy
I'm trying to keep it cool
But you're making it hard, I'm wishing your arms
Were wrapping me up tight
Yeah, boy
You shine and you can't even help it
Yeah, boy
Your eyes could make the moon jealous
And if you wanna know if I wanna be your girl tonight
Yeah, boy

Yeah, boy
I wanna take a little ride with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna spend a little time with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna sip a little wine with you
Oh

Yeah, boy
I wanna take a little ride with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna spend a little time with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna sip a little wine with you
Oh

Yeah, boy
I'm digging what you're doing
Yeah, boy
I'm trying to keep it cool
But you're making it hard, I'm wishing your arms
Were wrapping me up tight
Yeah, boy
You shine and you can't even help it
Yeah, boy
Your eyes could make the moon jealous
And if you wanna know if I wanna be your girl tonight, yeah
Yeah, boy

Yeah, boy

Yeah, boy
I wanna take a little ride with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna spend a little time with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna sip a little wine with you
Oh

Yeah, boy
I wanna take a little ride with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna spend a little time with you
Yeah, boy
I wanna sip a little wine with you
Oh

Yeah, boy

I took a deep breath. I realized that my eyes were closed. I slowly opened them. To me, the light filled the dark, and a bunch of friends. Everyone was smiling. Aaron looked well......weird. His mouth hung open, his eyes set ablaze with life. Aphmau laughed, breaking the stare down we were having. Alexis smiled. There was a honk at the front door. "Gotta go! Wish me luck. And thanks."
"Anytime!" Us girls call out. I smile. Aaron still looks like an idiot. Garroth and Laurence were trying to flirt with Aphmau. Dante talked to Cadenza. Normal. "Erm...Cora. Can I talk to you?" Said a familiar voice. I turned with my phone in hand. I was meet with those sparkling brown eyes. "Yeah Aaron?"
"Look, this is weird. We've only know each other for a week. And I've only felt this way with a person once before. But," he took a deep breath. The girls squealed behind him, "will you go out with me?"
Oh. My. God.
