Riptide (sequel, keaton stromberg)

Chapter 6; Think About It

Alex's P.O.V

As I walked through to the garage I thought about what Keaton had to say but it was weird.

He didnt seem like the jolly over excited Keaton that we all know and love. He seemed flustered and broken.

I sighed and opened the door, Wesley was sitting there singing and playing guitair,

I guess he didnt notice me because he kept singing,

"I dont wanna be in love, I dont wanna be in love.

He was always giving her attention,

Looking hard to find the things she mentioned, He was dedicated but most suckers hate it

That girl was fine but she didn't appreciate him

She calls him up

She's trippin' on the phone now

He had to get up, and he ain't comin' home now

He's tryin' to forget her, That's how we come with him,

When he first met her, When they first got together..."

"Do you like listening to me sing?" He snickered as he looked up and smiled at me.

"Oh sorry.. I didnt think you saw me." I said shyly knowing the song was obviously aims towards me anyways.

Whats with these two singing songs about people constintly?

He smiled a little and patted the little area next to him.

I courageously took the spot next to him pleased by the generousity that randomly washed over him. Last I could think of he was avoiding me completley, or maybe I was avoiding him.

A little bit of both I guess.

"Im so stoked on life right now" He said as he smiled one of his big toothy grins,

"This whole experience is going to be life changing. I think we could make it big." He finished.

I smiled but looked away quickly before he could look me in the eyes.

"Wes, I need to apolo-" I started but he interupted me.

"What? for what?" He asked

"I blamed you for the whole Keaton thing.. and I also kind of went off on you earlier." I stated.

He laughed and I felt his stare gazing upon me.

"Whats so funny?" I asked quietly

"Some other time. I'll tell you someother time. Leave now. Come to the audition. Cheer us on. But until then, just relax. study. do whatever. but Keaton needs time, and you probably do too." He said as he lightly placed his fingers under my chin to lift my head so I was looking at him.

"Until then.. Remember that Keaton is up to something. And we both know it." He said as he quickly dropped the gaze and got up.

Keaton did seem to be up to something, he always is.

Like when he serenaded me....

Yeah, he is defiantly up to something.

I took a deep breath and stood up taking in all that has happend in the past hour or so.

I needed someone to talk too.

Drew.

I could always talk to Drew, he was so understanding, sweet, and always had the best things to say.
