Rose. Rose wake up.”
A soft voice said interrupting my thoughts. I wasn’t really asleep just thinking with my eyes closed. They shot open and found Jinxx staring back at me. “Morning sleeping beauty.” He said sitting on g the side of my bunk. “Hey” I said in kind of a croak. “Sandra told me to tell you that they were going to eat at, uh I think, macaroni grill.” I probably had this disgusted face on because he laughed. “Isabelle said you hated it. Hey, you wanna go get sushi instead? It’s right across the street?” he asked. I smiled and said “Yes! I love sushi!” I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I put on some eyeliner and fluffed my hair so it had a little volume. “I’m ready” you said to Jinxx how was sitting on the couch playing his guitar. “Okay let’s go.” “Where’s everyone else?” I asked pulling on my My Chemical Romance jacket. “At macaroni grill. I didn’t want to eat there either so I stayed behind.” He said walking beside me across the parking lot. I made an oh face but didn’t say any thing. “How many?” the lady at the front asked us when we walked in. “Two” he said while holding up two fingers. The lady told us to follow her, but me being the klutz I am I tripped and didn’t catch myself. But before I hit the ground, Jinxx hand grabbed mine and steadied me. “Thank you” I said. “Welcome” he said not taking his hand out of my grip. I blushed. We sat down and I ordered a miso soup and water with lime. Jinxx ordered a mountain dew and a plate of California rolls.
After like three more plates of sushi, we asked for the bill. “You know you two are such a cute couple.” The waitress said when she gave us the bill. I smiled at the thought, but didn’t say anything. “Thank you” was all Jinxx said. I pulled out my wallet but he shooed it away. “Oh, no! You have been through way to much in the last twenty four hours. This one is on me. Don’t worry.” He said pulling out a credit card. We got up and walked out. My hand found his as we walked. He smiled and drabbed it. We walked on to the bus. “Well it looks like they are still eating.” I said throwing my jacket on the couch. “Hey come here” Jinxx said pulling out his guitar. “Sing something for me please!” he said. “Fine um you the only exception?” he nodded and began to play. Before I knew it I was singing.
“When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Ohh---
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing”
When I finished we hear clapping behind me. I turned to se Ashley, Andy and Sandra looking at us. “That was so good!” Ashley yelled squishing me under a hug. I laughed. “That was really good I didn’t know you could sing.” Sandra said sitting on the couch opposite of us. “Yeah I don’t really. I mean I was in choir for like a day” I said sheepishly. I looked over at Andy. I couldn’t tell what he was feeling but I did know one thing. He eyes were hardened with jealousy. Oh crap.
