A Different Path

Chap 13

A/N: So I know I use the song Hey Juliet by LMNT a lot in this fanfic but it's because I love the song so I just thought you should know.

Britt's POV

The guys were getting ready to choose their Juliet. "It's no surprise to us," I said.

"I'm choosing my Juliet first," said Drew. "There's a special Juliet here today. Her name is Cierra. Is she here?" I looked at Cierra from behind the banner. "There she is." She got onstage and sat in the chair Drew was standing behind. "This girl has been there a lot for us and finally got the chance to do something special for her."

"I choose a special Juliet who I spotted," said Devin. "Cyndel? She refers herself as TC Carter's best friend." Cyn got onstage and they hugged. "You're going to be my Juliet onstage."

"I have a Juliet who I haven't seen in a long time and this Juliet has a very special place in my heart, just like all of you do," said Jayk. "Her name is Jayn." Jayn got onstage and hugged Jayk. "She's actually a great best friend to have. I'll tell you want she calls me. She calls me her bestie."

"My Juliet, is someone who's here today," said TC. "I'm sure you've seen our music video." The crowd screamed. "My Juliet is the same Juliet from the music video. Miss Brittany Ruth!" I sat in the chair and hugged TC. "You have to get the chance to know her."

"My special kitty cat is someone I've serenaded before," said Blake. "She chose to go after her dream even though something different has changed her direction." I saw Alexis smiled. "The only Juliet in the building who's an FBI agent: Alexis Inthavong, Juliets and Bromeos." They hugged. "Why not serenade a Juliet who we have a personal connection to? It's Valentines guys."

"Okay, we have a special request for our Juliets," said Drew. "You have to get up and dance with us when we want to dance with you."

"Are you serious?" asked Cierra.

"Dead serious," said Drew.

"You heard Drew," said TC.

"Drew, I'll personally deal with him myself," I said under my breath.

"I'll help," said Alexis sitting right next to me. "But I'm not complaining, you know."

"Girl, do you not see all these guys on us?" asked Cyndel. "What if I trip and fall on my face?"

"We all trip and fall together," said Alexis.

"We hit the ground," I said. "Just go with it though."

TC's POV

"Here we go," I said. I looked at Britt. "You'll be fine."

"I hope you're right," said Britt.

The track started playing. "Hey Juliet," we sang. "Hey Juliet."

"Hey I've been watching you. Every little thing you do," sang Blake as he held Alexis' hand and walked her to the front of the stage. "Every time I see you pass in my homeroom class makes my heart beat fast." He spun her out and then in so his right arm was wrapped around her. "I've tried to page you twice, but I see you roll your eyes. Wish I could make it real, but your lips are sealed." He hugged Alexis. "That ain't no big deal."

"'Cause I know you really want me. I hear your friends talk about me," sang Jayk as he stood Jayn up and hugged her. "So why you trying to do without me when you got me where you want me?"

"Hey Juliet," I sang.

"I think your fine. You really blow my mind," we sang as the other guys got our Juliets out of their chairs to dance with us. "Maybe someday, you and me can run away. I just want you to know, I wanna be your Romeo." I hugged Britt. "Hey Juliet. Hey Juliet."

"Girl, you got me on my knees begging please baby please," I sang as I was on my knees. I got back up. "Got my best DJ on the radiowaves saying..."

"Hey Juliet," said Devin as he held Cyndel's hand. "Why you do him this way?"

"Too far to turn around. So I'm gonna stand my ground," I sang as I spun Britt around and did a cute little dance. "Gimme just a little bit of hope with a smile or a dance. Gimme one more chance."

"'Cause I know you really want me," sang Jayk as he dipped Jayk. "I hear your friends talk about me." He winked at her. "So why you trying to do without me when you got me where you want me?"

"Hey Juliet," sang Blake.

"I think your fine. You really blow my mind. Maybe someday, you and me can run away," we sang as we danced with our Juliet. "I just want you to know, I wanna be your Romeo. Hey Juliet. Hey Juliet."

"I know you really want me. I hear your friends talk about me," sang Drew as he got down on one knee and held Cierra's hand. "So why you trying to do without when you got me where you want me?"

"You don't have to say forever, for us to hang together," sang Devin as he hugged Cyndel from behind. "So hear me when I say..."

"HEY JULIET," sang Drew for the high note. "EHHH!"

"Hey Juliet," we sang. "Hey Juliet." I smiled at Britt. "I think your fine. You really blow my mind. Maybe someday, you and me can run away." We just kept eye contact with our Juliet. "I just want you to know, I wanna be your Romeo. Hey Juliet. Hey Juliet." The song ended.

"What's going on?" asked Alexis. "There's one more chorus."

"Yeah," I said. "I told Todd to not cut it short."

"Was this your V-Day proposal?" whispered Britt.

"Yeah but I told Todd never mind," I whispered back. "I'll be right back." I walked back to Todd. "Hey, why'd you cut it short?"

"Blake has his proposal," said Todd.

"Ooohhhh," I said.
