Dance on Main Street

Day 4

🌹
"Aww they're at it again!"
"Mikey take a picture!"
"He should just ask her out already!"
"Why do you guys always do this?" I groaned lifting my head off of Luke's chest. The boys giggled like girls.
"Sorry babe! You two are just so damn cute!" Calum exclaimed. I lift my hands and run them through Luke's hair to try and wake him up. He didn't move but a huge smile grew on his face. Ash chuckled at him. I contiue to run my fingers through Luke's extremely soft hair.
Eventually Luke's bright blue eyes flicker open to meet mine. He smiles really big and sits us both up. Once he notices all the boys sitting there he rolls his eyes.
"Do you guys just enjoy watching people sleep?" He asks unraveling his arms from around my waist. The boys laugh, "we just like watching cute people snuggle up on our couch!" Mikey says. I laugh at that one.
"Guys I have a dance competition today at 1:30." I say rubbing my eyes.
"We know!" Calum says sitting on the bed with me and Luke.
"What do you mean you know?" I ask pulling my hair into a messy bun.
"Luke got us all tickets so we can come watch." Ash says joining us on the bed. "and I'm pumped!" Mikey says flipping onto the bed as well. I turn to Luke and hug him from the side. "That was sweet Lukey. Thanks!" He yawns and looks down at me smiling. "Your welcome baby." he says putting his arm over my shoulder before returning his attention to the TV. A flash blinds me momentarily. I look over at Michael who looks guilty, I glare at him before smiling and shaking my head.
"Cal, what time is it?" I ask. Calum jumps when he hears his name. "What? Oh, it's 11:32" he says cheekily. "Cal, you remind me of a fish." I let go of Luke and lay on my stomach so I'm closer to Calum and squish his cheeks. He giggles and another bright flash goes off.
"Really Michael?" Calum and I say at the same time. "Jinx! Double Jinx! Triple Jinx!" We yell at the same time. "okay tie." We both say. I look at him horrified.
"Stop!"
"You stop!"
"Your scaring me!"
"Peanut butter!" He yells at the same time I yell, "Lasagna!" We both start to die laughing. The other boys look at us like we're insane but start to laugh at Cal and I laughing so hard. "Why lasagna?" Cal asks through laughs. "Why peanut butter?" I say between laughs. I start to hiccup from laughing so hard and that makes Calum laugh harder.
"Stappppp!" I say between my hiccups. Finally we all calm down from that strange moment. After a few seconds of silence I talk.
"Brunch?"
I hear a chorus of, "yup" "yah" and "sure"s. I roll off the side of the bed onto the floor where I find my phone. My twitter notifications just are blowing up because stupid Luke tweets about me all the time. I stand up and walk over to my bag. I grab my white tank top with a skull cut out in the back. I pick a pink bandeau and some black high waisted shorts to go along with it.
I go to the bathroom and change my clothes. I grab my mini make up bag and take out all the stuff I need. I take out my straightener as well. I opened the bathroom door and looked out to see if the boys had moved. Of course they didnt.
"Boys! Up! Up! Up! Get changed!" I yell startling them. Ashton sits up and points to his outfit. "I did!" "Good boy Ash!" I say giving him a thumbs up before standing back in front of the mirror to do my make up.
"Don't wear it." I hear from behind me. I jump and turn to see Luke standing there. "jesus Luke, you gave me a heart attack! What did you say?"
"I said, don't wear make up." He repeats leaning against the doorframe. I give him a no thank you look. I start to put it on carefully. I ignore the fact that Luke is staring at me the entire time. Once I finish I reach for my straightener and realize its not plugged in. Lucas.
"Luke!" I yell. He looks at me innocently. I plug it back in and wait for it to reheat. "No don't! If your gonna wear makeup leave your hair wavy! You look beautiful with out all that." He says. I roll my eyes and unplug it. He smiles at me and I shake my head smiling back. "Tank you." He says in a baby voice. "Yah yah yah!" I say waving him off. I walk out and everyone is ready.
"Good job boys! Well lets motor!" I say grabbing my keys and phone. I pull on my black high tops I wore yesterday and start walking out. "What does that mean?" Calum says walking next to me. "Motor?" he nods. "Like go, leave, you know!" He makes an 'o' face and then walks right in front of me. He bends down and I squeal like a little kid. I jump on his back and wrap my arms around his neck. He chuckles and walks us to the elevator. While we are in there Luke hands me a hoodie.
"What's this for?" I ask. He looks out the glass elevator at the screaming girls. I understand and put it on. I pull Calum's hood over his head. (hahaha Calum Hood, Calum's hood)
We walk out of the elevator and are immediately pinned by a group of girls. Calum starts to run towards the door. I tighten my arms around his neck and tighten my legs on his waist. Hotel security is outside and made a path for us to run through. At my car Luke, Mikey, and Ash climb into the backseats. Cal sits up front with me. We drive down to Equal Express café because its usually pretty empty but still has good food. It's also where Rose works. I decide to call Rose and see if she's working,
"Hey Rosie! It's Belle, I was wondering if you wanted to come for brunch with me and the boys?" I ask through the phone. I signal for Cal to turn the radio down a little.
"What boys?" She asks confused.
"Oh um just Calum, Luke, Mikey, and Ash!" I say hoping that's okay with her.
"How come you've never told me about them?"
"Well I never really talk to you, so that's why I'm inviting you!
"Oh sorry babe! Im uh Im working right now! Maybe some other time boo?" She says. She sounds so suspicious, well I'll find out when I show up to her work.
"Oh, man that stinks! Well okay I guess another time. Talk to you later bæ!" I say before hanging up. We pull into the parking lot and I moan and hit my head on the steering wheel.
"You okay Bee?" Luke asks opening my door.
"Rose is always 'working' and she hangs out with my sister more than me. She always seems to have an excuse to not hang out. She works here at the café so I don't know why she's so busy all of a sudden!" I rant stepping out of the truck. Luke slings his arm over my shoulder.
"Sorry babe. Maybe you should just confront her about it?" He suggests. "yah I guess. Thanks" I say. He smiles and looks down at me. "For what?" "Well you know for everything. For helping me last night, for staying when I asked, and for being just so nice." He hugs me and then runs into the café carrying me.
"Luke Hemmings! Put me down!" I yell pounding on his back. "Cal help a homie out!" I yell back to Calum who is just laughing. "Luke put me down!" I yell again. "Never!" He yells running around. I smack his butt and make him put me down so I can talk to the hostess lady.
"Five please." I say as nicely as possible. We follow her to a table in the front of the big glass window. Im sitting next to Ashton and Luke, Michael is directly across from me.
"Hi my names Tori and I will be your server today. Can I start you guys off with a drink?" This slutty girl asks. She leans over so her boobs are busting out of her shirt and she is smacking her gum louder than I thought possible. While the boys order she keeps blowing bubbles with her gum. "And you?" She asks me coldly. "I'll have a water, please." I say. She blows a bubble and then pops it and smacks her gum again. I slam my menu down on the table. This bitch is so lucky Luke is blocking my fist from punching her in the mouth.
"Please, please, please just keep your gum in your mouth where it belongs! Nobody here wants to listen to you smack your gum every 1.5 seconds! And another favor, put your boobs back in your shirt! Thank you!" I say the 'thank you' nice and calmly while the rest I say in a cold harsh tone. Her mouth hangs slightly open for a second but then she spins on her heels and stomps away.
"Holy shit Bee! I thought you were gonna punch her!" Luke says excitedly. I moan and put my head on the table.
"That's because I was. You were in the way though." I mumble. He laughs and rubs my back.
"Belle, teach me the way of the awesome!" Cal says from across the table. I lift my head up to laugh at him.
Our drinks come and then we order enough food for like 11 people. After we eat I tell them I'm going to the bathroom but turn sharp and run to the desk where we pay. Ash catches me and yells for Luke to get me. I practically throw the money at this dude and snatch the receipt before running away.
"Bee, get back here!" Luke yells. "No I wanted to pay!" I yell back. "No guys are supposed to pay!" He yells back. I slide into my seat back at the table and curl in a ball so he can't give me money or see the bill.
"Come on Belle, please?" Ashton begs. I shake my head no. He sighs and leans back in his chair.
"I don't know why we're fighting her about this! I mean, hey that's free food!" Michael says.
"Exactly, be grateful not mad." I say before standing up and linking arms with Michael. We skip to the car leaving the others behind.
After all the boys are in the car I start it but don't drive. Rosie wasn't working. "Ugh!" I slam my head on the steering wheel. Michael pulls my head up.
"What's wrong?" He asks. I look in my rear view mirror at Luke. "She wasn't working." Is all I say. His eyes fill with pity and sadness. I sigh and start driving to the studio. In the studio we have practice rooms but our own auditorium where we do competitions.
We pull up and I rush the boys out because I need to get into my costume and get my makeup and hair done.
"Jen?" Is all I ask. She lifts up the baby blue dress and hands it to me without her eyes leaving her computer. "Thanks babe!" I yell running off. I realize the boys aren't following. I skid to a stop and stick my head around the corner and wave them over.
"I have to change and get ready but you guys can go get seats!" I say pushing them towards the auditorium doors. Before they leave they all give me a hug and wish me good luck. I run off to the changing rooms. Talia, my makeup artist is already there setting up.
"Sorry Talia!" I yell running behind the divider to change. She laughs but says its fine. Once I've changed I run out and sit in the makeup chair. She puts red lipstick on and bright blue eyeshadow. The eye shadow fades to a darker blue at the corners of my eye. She does a winged eyeliner and my mascara. After she perfects my makeup she moves to my hair. She pins the top layer up and begins curling the underneath.
After curling all my hair she tied the top into a snooky bump and then sprays it all. I look in the mirror and fix my outfit before I get called backstage. Usually I get a little nervous before these things but I feel extremely confident this time.
"And up next, Bellerose performing a ballet solo." The announcers says. I can hear the boys screaming and I laugh to myself before standing in my starting position.
The music starts and I fly threw the routine. Dancing makes you forget. It makes you forget all the problems, the pain, and the suffering. A few years back it was my only escape from the world other than singing. I pour every ounce of my being into the routine until the music ends and I curtsy before walking off stage. The crowd goes wild and I feel so good about that performance. Talia crushes me in a hug saying how good I did. I thank her and watch the last few solos.
When they call out the dancers for awards I search for the boys. I find them holding up a sign that says,
Bee is my bæ! Im good which makes her better!
I laugh and wave to the boys who were frantically waving and pointing at their sign. I sit with the other dancers and listen to the group awards, duet awards, and finally my group comes up. They give away third, and second, which means if I'm not first I don't place.
"First place goes to Bellerose!" Says the announcer. I jump up and shake his hand before taking my trophy. As soon as its over Luke runs up to the stage and opens his arms. I jump off the stage and into his hug. I started to cry clinging to him. He lets go and wiped my tears.
"You were soooo good Bee!" He says. I just smile and hug him again. "Oh wait I need to find Jase!" I say looking for him. I climb on stage and find him. I wave at him and he comes running over. He scoops me up and spins me around.
"Bellie that was so good! Im so proud of you!" He says letting me go. I smile and thank him. I grab my stuff from Talia before climbing off the stage to find the boys again. Calum sees me and runs over to hug me.
"My baby, so grown up!" He says wiping fake tears from his eyes. I laugh and hug Ash and Mikey. They all compliment my performance. Outside they all stop me in front of the truck. "What?" I ask confused. They all stand in a line and pull a rose from behind their backs. I cover my mouth with my hands and run over to them. They all crush me in a big group hug.
"I love you guys! You shouldn't have!" I say taking the flowers from each of them. Luke is standing in the middle with a white rose. I hug him last. "Thanks Lukey." He hugs me back before opening my car door like a chauffeur. I laugh before climbing in.
"Yay! Sleepover at ours!" Calum yells on the drive back. "Nope! You guys are sleeping at my place. I already spent two nights at yours." They all agree. We stop by there's to pick up my stuff and clothes for them. On the drive back to my house Calum and Luke sing to Taylor Swift together. We could've died since my eyes were blurred from tears of laughter. On my road Luke turns down the music. "Guys just to warn you she lives in a mansion and Teresa is probably gonna say something about how attractive we are." He tells them. I laugh at the part about Teresa because its so true.
We pull into my driveway and the boys jaws drop except for Luke who just steps out of the truck. We walk around to the back of the car and open the boys doors. They climb out still in a daze. I laugh while walking into my house.
"Teresa I'm home!" I yell putting my bag on the ground. "Hi Belle! How was dance?!" She yells back. I lead the boys to the kitchen. "First place baby!" I say sliding into a barstool. She turns around and is startled by the boys all standing in here.
"Hey Teresa!" Luke says waving and sitting next to me. "Hi Luke! How are you?" She asks turning off the oven. "Im doing good! How are you?" He asks spinning in the stool like a little kid. "That's good, and Im great thanks for asking. And who are these cutie boys?" She asks. Calum giggles but steps forward shaking Teresa's hand.
"Calum but you can call me Cal, or well you can call me Calum too if you want." She chuckles but moves to the next boy.
"I'm Ashton or Ash." Ash says shaking her hand and smiling. Uh, he's just so likable!
"Hi Teresa my names Michael but you can call me Mikey if you want." He says shaking her hand with a cheeky grin.
"Well boys dinner should be ready in about an hour." She says turning and very obviously winking at me. I laugh and roll my eyes. Luke laughs too before standing up with me. I run to the stairs and race Calum up. He won.
"I was just letting you win." I mumble. He laughs and slings an arm over my shoulder hugging me.
I swung open my door and usher the boys in except for Mikey. He knocks on the door. "Oh you wanted to come in?" I ask innocently. He glares at me before picking me up over his shoulder and spinning me around. I laugh and smack his back to stop. He throws me onto my bed. All my pillows fly up while I sink down into my blankets.
"Woah, penguins!" Cal says investigating my little penguin collection. I laugh at his childness and sit up.
"What are we gonna do now?" I ask the boys. Michael is over by my guitars and is looking at them like they're gold.
"Do you play?" He asks finally peeling his eyes off the guitars. I nod my head. He grins and grabs both and brings them over to me. I grab one and Mike sits down next to me.
"Jasey Rae." I say plucking at a few strings. I open my bedside drawer and grab two guitar picks. I had him one and tune my guitar. Ash comes over and sits on my drum box. Luke and Calum sit on the floor in front of me.
"One, two, three." I count before starting. The first chords play before I start singing.
"Lights out,
I still hear the rain,
These images that fill my head,
Now keep my fingers from making mistakes,
Tell my voice what it takes,
To speak up,
Speak up,
and keep my conscience clean when I wake.

Don't make this easy,
I want you to mean it,
Jasey. (say you'll mean it)
You're dressed to kill,
I'm calling you out, (don't waste your time on me)" I belt out. I'm delightly surprised when Calum begins singing with me.
"Now there's an aching in my back;
a stabbing pain that says I lack,
the common sense and confidence,
to bring an end to promises,
that I make in times of desperate conversation,
hoping my night could be better than theirs in the end.
Just say when." I smile big at Calum. When I start the chorus I hear a beautiful and pitch perfect voice singing along. Luke.
"Don't make this easy,
I want you to mean it,
Jasey. (say you'll mean it)
You're dressed to kill,
I'm calling you out, (don't waste your time on me)

I've never told a lie,
and that makes me a liar,
I've never made a bet,
but we gamble with desire,
I've never lit a match,
with intent to start a fire,
but recently the flames,
are getting out of control.
Call me a name,
Kill me with words,
Forget about me,
It's what I deserve,
I was your chance,
to get out of this town,
but I ditched the car,
and left you to,

Wait outside,
I hope the air will serve to remind you,
that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath,
and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest." When we finish the song my eyes are the size of baseballs. I put down my guitar and jump off the bed and pin Luke down on the ground. "You sing so good!" I yell. The boys laugh at my outburst. "Thanks babe, you sing good too!" He says. I let go of his arms and he sits up so that I'm in his lap. "Not that good! I thought... I don't know what I thought! It wasn't that though!" I say. "Thanks Bee. But really your fricken good!" He says pulling me into a hug. We hear another flash and I immediately look at Michael. He shakes his head that it wasnt him. I look towards the door and see Teresa there with my Polaroid camera.
"Dinners ready." She says waving the picture in the air. I laugh and stand up off Luke. I give him my hand and pull him up off the floor. I look at the picture she took and its kinda adorable. Before we go down I pin it up on my walk with all the pictures of me, Rosie, and Liam. Liam is one of my closest friends and practically Rosie's brother. Luke is standing in the door smirking when I turn around.
"I feel special." He says. I roll my eyes and grab his hand to drag him out of my room.
We all laugh and joke at the dinner table eating spaghetti. It turns into a night to remember. Teresa looks at the boys like they're her sons. These four boys are becoming my brothers. After thanking Teresa we all go back to my room. I turn up my music and we all dance and sing around my room.
After watching three movies we are now watching the purge because Mikey 'cant fall asleep without a good scare'. He just wants to watch me cower in my blanket. I don't even make half the movie before I'm curled up in Luke's chest. It's official he is my cuddle buddy.
Again I fall asleep in Luke's arms. I can get used to this.
