Highschool In Amnesia

Chapter 4: The Boys in the Band

(Alexx's P.O.V.)

I can't believe she just ran off like that. I wasn't about to run after her, she's too fast. The boys and I decided we were going to go outside and hang by the railings. Harry and Chris sat on the railing Jake, Nick and I leaning on them.

I met the boys late last school year and hung out with them in the summer. I went to a couple of their gigs and their rehearsals, which were mostly at Jake's house in his basement.

Of course, Jamie didn't have the slightest clue that I knew them until I told her on Tusday. She had no idea I asked them to meet us there so I could understand her shock; although I didn't expect her to run.

"I told you guys this was a bad idea," Nick said tapping at the railing.

"You couldn't even talk to her," Jake added.

Nick gave him an intense glare, "So?"

"You're just as shy as she is," he chuckled. "Of course you're no where as cute."

Harry and Chris could tell things were getting intense so they started playing 'pat-a-cake' on the railing. The gradually got louder as Jake and Nicholas argued.

"Guys," I tried to get their attention. "Guys!" I said a little louder, grabbing Harry's attention.

"Yeah? What's up?" Chris accidentally hit him in the face because he broke the hand game. "Butt face," he rubbed his face and flicked Chris' forehead. Jake and Nicholas stopped.

"I can give you guys her number you know," I said taking out my iPhone 4. I had recently gotten a custom made case representing their band. It was red and white with black outline on the letters ' BBTT.'

Nickolas was the first to flip out his phone. Jake gave him a dirty look then took his out next, followed by Chris and Harry. I proceeded to recite her number from memory, my phone swinging in between my index finger and my thumb. Nick looked the happiest to get the number and he stared at his screen for a good while.

"I'm going to call Dennis," I said as I unlocked my phone. Harry smiled at me.

"Sure, we'll be here," he said with his squeaky puberty voice. It was honestly really cute.

I walked a good distance from them still keeping them in view as I tried to call Dennis. It rang. No answer. I tried again. Same result. This was strange, he always answers when I call his phone. I walked back over to the boys and told them what was going on.

"Well you can hang with us and we can drop you home after," Chris said.

"Unless you want to come to our gig later," Harry wiggled his eyebrows at me. I giggled.

"Sure!"

Before I knew it I was being swept off my feet by Harry who was walking around with me in his arms. I squealed with delight as he carried me bridal style. I enjoyed their company.

We visited a few stores and walked around. We even got food, milkshakes, burgers and fries. We were just a group of teens enjoying our Saturday. Too bad Jamie had passed it up. Where was she anyways? And what was Dennis doing? I spent the rest of the day with the boys. I texted Dennis and told him what I was doing.

Jake was the one driving around today. His parents had recently got him a 2015 Mercedes Benz. A small silver SUV. It was amazing. Chris was in the front passenger seat, Nick and Harry took the window seat and I was in the middle.

(Jake's P.O.V.)

Driving around in my new car was fun, especially with my crew. As I drove I wondered what Jamie was doing, if she was okay. I wanted to text her but I wasn't sure and plus I was driving. I could hear the guys around me talking but my mind was somewhere else.

I remembered the first time I saw her. I honestly thought she was strange. Sometimes she would run out of class and no teacher stopped her. She would go into the music room and play the piano until she calmed down. I admired her from afar. After about a year or so I started to develop a crush on her. I tried introducing myself on several occasions but Nicholas kept getting in the way. Soon after that he told me he had a crush on her too. Great, just great. Sometimes he was like an annoying younger sibling; I can't have anything to myself. I was determined, however, to get her before him.

We drove to the gig venue. It was a little club across town. We hadalready set up from earlier before we met with Alexx. I honestly wasn't doing it for the money so it didn't matter to me how much we were getting. We would be doing a half hour set. Alexx was like out little cheerleader slash manager in a way.

(Jamie's P.O.V.)

We drove across town, there were a lot less houses on this side of town. It was almost had a country feel to it. Fields of green grass seemed to go on for miles. We drove up a hill like area and up to what seemed to be the top. I had never been this far out of my little square of a surroundings. It was a grassy area with a railings at the edge. It was an amazing view.

Dennis switched off the engine and got out of the car and went over to the railing and looked over. I soon followed him.

"What's wrong, Jamie?"

"Well nothing is wrong now," he cut me off.

"No, Jamie, what's wrong?"

I didn't look at him, I didn't answer either.

He slid his hand into my jeans front left pocket and took out my phone. "You don't need this," he headed back to the car and threw it on the backseat. His own was already there. He came back to me.

"She was trying to make me meet 'Blinded By The Torment' and I don't work well," he cut me off again.

"Why did you run?"

"I," I paused then looked down. "I don't know. I guess I got scared."

He grabbed my hand and I looked at him, he was already looking at me. "Look, having Alexx is a good thing and you know I'm always here for you but," he paused. "Making other friends is also a good thing, you learn from experiences and make new memories. It's not as bad as you think." He smiled at me then moved my bang from my eye. "I don't know why you always hide your eyes."

I looked away from him. "Why all the way up here though?"

"This is where I come when I need to clear my head, and you my dear, need to clear your head."

I chuckled, "I guess."

We talked for a really long time. He was a really good listener and fun to be around.

"You need to stop talking so much to your posters, little sister."
Little sister. I am nothing more than that, nothing less to him. I didn't like him as a brother, I like him as crush, Alexx doesn't even know. She'd probably label it as incest, even though it's not because we truly aren't related in any way or form, but Alexx is like my sister. Ugh.

It was getting late and it was getting a little chilly so we headed back. I was a little tired and after awhile I fell asleep. The next face I saw was that of my mum. She was over me, looking down at me. It seemed Dennis had picked me up and carried me to my room while I was asleep. I wasn't sure what time it was but all I knew is that I was extremely tired. My mum kissed my forehead then left the room. I didn't sleep that well that night,
