Chapter 43

It's been couple of weeks since Belle told Rye her wonderful plan. However, realising it was a lot harder than she thought it would - they have tried different variations with Rye, hoping for the best, but it was failing every time.

"Do you think we should tell Blair?" Belle asked the boy sitting next to her, getting a shrug as a response. They both knew it would be the most appropriate, but the most dangerous decision.

Their conversation was interrupted by Brooklyn who was singing happily, coming in their direction. Out of everyone, he was the worst at keeping secrets so he had no idea about the plan, and the pair wanted to keep it this way. They didn't tell anyone actually; they were the only ones that knew.

"It's beginning to look a lot like christmaaaaaas!" Brooklyn sang, while coming to the room. He was followed by the other boys, who just finished their session at the gym.

"It's only start of December mate, stop it" Jack said, causing Brook to look at him with absurd - the blond boy was in a Christmas mood for about 2 weeks right now.

"We should make a Christmas cover, I bet roadies would love it" Andy said, always being professional. He got an approval look from Belle, who thought of that as a wonderful idea.

"What's your favourite cover of ours?" Mikey asked the girl, realising they never really spoke about it before.

"Good question" she said, thinking about it. "There are covers such as 'Too good to say goodbye' Dusk till dawn' 'Havana' 'Gorgeous' that I absolutely love, but my all time favourite..." she made a quick pause, "My all time favourite is definitely Perfect by Ed Sheeran" she finished, getting an agreement from the boys - it was such a beautiful song, they all loved it.

After a while, Mikey put the cover on the speakers as the boys started singing their parts. Belle just closed her eyes, breath-taken by how amazing they sound - their acoustic version of the song was even better than the actual cover. As the words "I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets. To carry love, to carry children of our own" appeared, Belle sighed in awe.

"Promise me you'll sing it on my wedding for my first dance" she said, spontaneously planning the big day, without even having a boyfriend.

The boys laughed, agreeing for it straight away. However, Brooklyn looked a little concerned, almost as if he was thinking about something intensively. "It'll be hard" he said, getting confused looks from everyone. "Well, Rye wouldn't be able to sing" he explained, still leaving his friends wondering what he means.

"Brooklyn what are you...?" Rye started, completely thrown away by the words, having no idea what his friend means. His voice seems fine now, he never thought of leaving the band so he sees no reason why his blond friend pointed specifically at him. Unless... "MATE" Rye shouted, finally understanding what his friend is implicating. Belle just gave them a confused look, grabbing her lemon water, waiting for gossips.

"We all know you won't be able to dance and sing at the same time, it would look awkward." he said, being complete serious. Belle just needed couple of more seconds to realise what he meant. After the information process in her head, she choked on the water she was drinking, suddenly standing up, struggling to breathe.

Mikey quickly boosted up, giving her back blows. After couple of seconds, she managed to catch her breath again. "Brooklyn, for god's sake" she said shocked, almost terrified. "I know you ship.. umm.. us, but that's a little too extreme."

"I'm sorry Belle, didn't mean to nearly kill you" Brook said with a sweet smile, being genuinely sorry for his actions. The girl just smiled back, knowing she cannot be mad with 'her brother' for too long. She hugged him, showing that everything is alright.
