The Blizzard Competition
Why the hell did I agree to do the duet with Austin? The concert isn't even for another six hours but I'm already freaking out. I honestly think I'm gonna have a panic attack. Stupid stage fright!
Well anyways, Rydel told Trish and me all about her date last night and while she was talking, she couldn't get rid of the smile that was on her face. I'm almost positive that it's permanently plastered on her face. Jake took her ice skating and she even gushed about how they held hands the entire time. And the best part of the night, according to Rydel, is when they kissed. That kiss was special for Rydel because it was her first kiss. I'm glad it was with Jake and not some jerk.
As of right now, everyone's getting ready to head to the venue where the concert is being held so Austin can rehearse a little. We asked his cousins if they wanted to watch the concert from backstage or the audience and they said the audience so we managed to get them front row tickets. As for Trish, Dez, Jason and I, we're watching from backstage.
"Alright, everyone ready?" Austin asked, as we all piled up into the living room. We nodded our heads yes. Since there's ten of us, we had to take two cars which isn't a problem. Austin, Dez, Trish, and I went with Rydel in her car while the rest of the guys went with Riker. Since the venue was almost two hours away, I was going to spend that time freaking out.
Trish decided to sit in the front so she could keep Rydel company while Austin, Dez, and I sat in the back. I, of course sat in the middle so I had Austin on my left and Dez on my right. Rydel blasted the music which was perfect so Austin and I could talk without anyone really hearing our conversation.
"Stop freaking out." Austin whispered. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow.
"How did you know I was freaking out?" He discreetly grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.
"I can read you like a book, Als. I know you're nervous, but I guarantee that you're going to be amazing."
"I would kiss you right now if we were alone." I whispered so only he could hear. He smiled.
"Well you're lucky that I have a dressing room at the venue." He started wiggling his eyebrows and I couldn't help but laugh. I yawned and rested my head on Austin's shoulder. "I'll wake you up when we get to the venue. Love you." He whispered in my ear.
"Love you too." I whispered back. As much as I hate secretly dating, I just don't want anyone knowing yet. I want all our focus to be on the competition, but I don't think I can do this much longer. Maybe we should just tell everyone. I closed my eyes and in a matter of minutes I was fast asleep.
I felt someone caressing my cheek, followed by, "Als, wake up." My eyes fluttered open and I noticed that no one was in the car, except for Austin and I.
"Where is everyone?" I questioned.
"I told them to head inside while I wake you up. And I wanted to do this?" He leaned in and the second his lips touched mine, I couldn't fight the smile that was forming.
