Chapter 7: Lucy

Lucy:

I cannot believe that Levi and Macy just realised it was a sliding door. Are they seriously that clueless? Levi should know, since he apparently works here.

"Levi, didn't you know? You apparently work here," Macy asked Levi, crossing her arms over her chest. "All of you guys apparently work here."

Levi raises his hand. "Actually, I don't work here. " Levi take a bite from the apple in his right hand.

I look over at Xavier. "Yeah, but you do. But, I guess it doesn't matter cause it's not important."

"Okay, maybe it kind of was. But, I didn't know you were going to be here. You could have told me," Xavier says.

"Well,  it's not like you guys told us you worked here," Alex stands up for me.

Janessa's phone rings before anyone can say anything else. Janessa looks at her phone and she smiles thankfully. "It's Oliver."

"Who's Oliver?" Mason asks slightly defensive.

"He's a guy, and that's all you need to know," Janessa storms off in the direction of the rehearsal room.

"Come on,  we've got a dance to choreograph," Macy says.

She takes off the jacket she was wearing, which I didn't notice until know,  and throws it at Levi's face.  The girls and I walk back. On our way back, I realize how childish we probably seemed to other random adults who are a lot older than we are. Especially when Macy threw Levi's jacket in his face. But, at least it was satisfying. Like one of those 'The Most Satisfying' videos. I love those videos!

Anyways, we walk back into the rehearsal room and work on the dance. Soon enough, we finish for the day and Macy drives the two of us back to the dorms. I practically room into my room, so glad to see me bed. Who needs guys who don't keep promises when you have a bed? Even still, I check my phone. No phone call. I flop down on my bed.

"Rough time at the dance music video place?" Sienna asks.

"You don't even know the half of it," I say as I turn my head to look at her. "Sienna? Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

I sit up in my bed. "What would you do if you loved someone and then you have to move away from that person and he promised to stay in contact with you, but he doesn't, and then he comes back to you and tells you he loves you?"

"Oh, um," Sienna sits up in her bed and places her phone  (which she was previously playing on) down next to her. "I don't know. I mean, I've never really been in love before. But, we're young, and who needs love when you've got pillows and donuts." Sienna grabs the box of a dozen donuts that was sitting on her desk. I didn't notice them before when I came in. Either she's a magician or I'm totally clueless. She holds it open out to me and I take one.

I giggle. "Thank you," I take a bite of the donut. "But, I'm serious, what would you do?"

Sienna sighs. "Is this about the guy again? What was his name? Xavier?"

"Uh, kind of."

"Wait, he's back?"

"Kind of."

Sienna knows about Xavier and how we would hang out with him and his friends back in Italy, but she doesn't know about the whole werewolf and vampire thing.

"I don't know. I'm not a psychologist?" Sienna jokes. We both laugh. "Why don't you call Jamee or something? She is a psychologist. Or at least studying to be one."

That's true. Jamee wants to be a psychologist  to help people who think they are going crazy. It all started when she thought she was going crazy back in Italy when she found out about the werewolf and vampire stuff. She's studying in Texas though, so at this time she's probably having dinner. I should probably let her know about this stuff.

"Yeah, I'll call her tomorrow," I say taking another bite from my donut. "Meanwhile, you're right. Who needs love when you've got pillows and donuts?" We both laugh again. She throws a mini decorative pillow at me. It hits the top of my head. "Hey!" I throw it back at her. We end up having a pillow war, throwing pillows back and forth and trying to hit each other.

I wake up the next morning at around 10 am. I yawn and notice a couple of pillow still on the floor from last night. We were too lazy to clean everything up completely from our pillow war. I notice Sienna's bed all made and that she's no longer in the room. That's right, she's got a couple of classes this morning. I take this opportunity to video call James on my laptop. She should be awake, she wakes up at seven am and right now in Texas it should be nine. Luckily she answers on the first try.

"Hey!" Jamee says. "Good morning, how are you?"

"I'm good, how are you?"

"Great," Jamee smiles.

"Is-," I start before a male voice on the other side of the screen pretty much answers my question.

"See you later, babe," Adrian says as he gives Jamee a kiss on her forehead. Yeah, yeah, Jamee started going out with Adrian as soon as we got back from Italy and now they are engaged. They share an apparent in Texas. "Oh, hey Lucy."

"Hey," I smile. Then, Adrian leaves. "Is he gone?"

"Yeah? He's off to work. Lucy, what's wrong?"

I explain to Jamee that the guys are back and that they are here in New York.

"Oh. Is Max with them?" Jamee asks worryly.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him," I shrug.

"Wow, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, that's kind of why I'm asking you. What do I do?"

"I don't know. All I can tell you is to let things play out and stay safe. Don't get yourself into any dangerous stuff like before," Jamee warns.

"Yeah, yeah," I smile. We talk about a whole bunch of other things and catch up for while. Suddenly, I check the time. It's 1:15. "Oh, shoot! I'm late!"

"Hm?" Jamee asks confued.

"Oh, the girls and I have a job as choreographers for a new Blake Edlestons music video."

"Oh, sounds cool. I'll leave you to it. Bye!"

"Bye!"

I close my laptop and quickly shower and get dressed. I rush to my car and rush to the music studio. I walk in and head to the snack table. I'm hungry, I only had a donut for breakfast since I was talking to Jamee so much. At the snack table, I run into Blake Edlestons.
