Chapter 8: The Past

***Lita's POV***

I sat at my desk at home as my fingers typed quickly as possible. I loved the fact that I can stay home and just write instead of having a job which involves me to leave home. 

Right now I'm writing a romance novel. I mean this is my first attempt at one because usually I write sci-fi novel, fictional, and usually anything but romance. Mostly because I avoid it. But now I'm getting over it and starting to write one. 

This one is gonna be called 'Thanks To Him'. I mean I'm basing it off what happened in high school for me. The main character's name is gonna be Shay while her so called heartbreak in the book is named Mitchell. I know using my friends' first initials is so original. I'm typing the part of where Mitchell admits in public his mistakes and what he's done once Shay demands to know the truth.

When I heard how betrayed Savannah felt I tried to put it into words. I tried to portray how my best friend felt and the suffers she went through. I already told the Fusco's about my plan and it went pretty well. I told them 3 months ago when it was Austin's 13 birthday.

"-I swear I finished it!"Mikey protested at his teasing wife.

Andre didn't come as much as he wanted to, but he promised he'd help Anthony with him and Kylie's big anniversery party. I was ok with it considering all of us were still friends and such. So right now it was just me, Savannah, and Michael in the kitchen. We were early to the party since we live down the street.

I laughed,"of course you have Michael. It's fine. Anyway, um I'm actually writing a new book."

Savannah arched her eyebrows before taking a sip of her coffee,"really? What is it about?"

"You two."

Savannah did a spittake while Mikey choked on his bagel but he managed out something,"what?"

"Ya know high school. People want me to write a romance novel so that's what I'm doing,"I shrugged as I poured coffee creamer in the black, steaming drink before mixing it."Are you guys ok with that?"

"Uh yeah, but you aren't using our names right?"Mikey nervously asked. He didn't need old ICONiacs and To Be Oners to think so little of him when he reads the book. Of course I wouldn't do that.

"No. The characters' names are Shay Monroe and Mitchell Finley,"I replied.

Mikey scrunched his nose,"I sound like a wuss."

"At least it's better than when Lita wrote about what happened when we were 20 and named your character Mason Travis,"Savannah smirked before pecking her husband's forehead.

I rolled my eyes,"after 26 years you'd think some people would change." 

My phone vibrated as I read the screen.

Tessie<3: Hi Mom! So since The Fusco's are having a party and they invited the guys I'm heading to their house early for band practice. Love ya xx

Me: Alright just be safe. If you need anything just text me. Love you too sweetie. See you soon xx 

I smiled at how much I've changed since high school. I'm not as threatening as I use to be. Ever since having Tessa I've changed, became a bit more soft. I mean I don't threaten to hurt people but I use my words rather than my actions. The guys would tease me about it but I'd just give them a look that kills and they'd immediately shut up. At least my little Tessie is like me. You'd think after having 4 kids I'd stop my old ways. Nope. I mean Tessa is the only one who's like me. While Henry, Irwin, and Jeslyn are more like their father: loving, sweet, and kind-hearted. I mean Tessa is the same but she's more of a fireball like me. 

"-hey. What are you doing?"I hear Andre ask as he hugged me from behind.

I relaxed in his arms,"just writing."

I heard his chuckle as his chest vibrated from laughter,"of course, my little bookworm."

"Hey! This is my first romance novel,"I pouted.

"I know,"he said as he sat next to me on the couch.

I laid my head on his chest as I heard his steady breathing and heartbeats. 

"Do you remember when we first met?"I asked quietly as I played with his fingers.

He laughed,"yeah. You didn't wanna let me in through your walls."

"That's because I never thought that someone might be able to love me. And then once I let you in I was so sure that we wouldn't last. I kept on thinking that we were polar opposites. You were so stubborn to stay with me. Who knew that 26 years later we'd have 4 beautiful kids?"

He noded as he stroked my hair,"yep. And I told you 'Opposites attract.'"

I giggled giddily as I whacked his arm,"shut up."

"Lita Sanchez you just hate admitting you're wrong."

"Sorry my last name isn't Sanchez idiot. It's Jacobs."

***Angelina's POV***

I knocked on the door with Jason at my side. Our hands deep in our coat pockets since it was quite cold.

"Jason! Ang!"Mikey exclaimed as he both gave us hugs and let us in.

"It's nice to see you again Spikael,"I greeted as I took off my coat and hung it on the rack.

"You too, always pleasant to see you Ang,"Mikey grinned.

"Back off, my wife,"Jason joked causing me to giggle.

Mikey rolled his eyes,"yuck."

"Hey we don't say that about you and Sav!"I protested."Speaking of her she's coming back today right with the band?"

"Yeah,"he replied."Then one more week without her and that sucks. Anyway the kids are downstairs for band rehearsals."

Jason smirked,"let's go see them practice. I mean everytime we hear Lorena sing she freaks out about it."

We snuck down to the basement which was where all their lounge for the band was. 

The lounge was something special for the girls and their friends. There were Christmas lights hung on the walls with had posters of various bands from our time plastered on it. Speakers hung on the corners of the room. Mikey's recording booth near where the stairs are with instruments inside. A mini stage enough to fit all the girls on it with stools. Beanbags assorted near it. Even the air hockey table which Madison got Austin for his 12 birthday.

"Daddy?"I heard Lorena ask.

We saw the girls and their friends looking at us. I was ok with their guy friends because they've come over billions of time. And just like to the other girls' parents, they were like sons.

"Hi Mr Fusco! Hi Mr and Mrs Smith!"everyone chirped.

"Hey guys. So girls, working on a new song?"I questioned.

"Hold up you actually wore that to school?"Jason basically screamed as he looked at Lori's outfit.

"Hey at least no guy was hitting on her,"Cole defended.

"Calm down Jason, Ang and Sarah dressed like that,"Mikey informed.

Well yeah...JASELINA.

QOTD: If Lita's book was actually real would you read it?

Much Love Guys.
