Heartfelt

Chapter 7

Travis and Katelyn were getting ready to go to play practice. They had received a note in their mail the day before, telling them that play practice would start the next day, and that their parts would be on a poster when they got there.

"We'll be seeing Laurance again today." Travis said.

"I know. I'm kind of nervous." Katelyn admitted.

Travis hugged Katelyn from the side. "It's alright. There's no need to be worried."

"Ya. I suppose. You ready to go?" Katelyn asked.

They went outside and got in the car, heading to the community center.

"I'm excited to see what part I get." Katelyn said.

"Me too. I hope I got Aladdin." Travis dreamed.

Katelyn laughed. "I still can't believe that you tried for that role."

"It's just a great role!" Travis defended.

"I'm just teasing." Katelyn said, pulling into the community center.

They headed inside and waited for the practice to start. It was about ten minutes before Jenny got up and addressed everyone.

"Hello everyone!" Jenny greeted. "Today you'll be getting roles! Go ahead and check out the poster board outside."

Everyone got up and went out to check their parts. Katelyn and Travis noticed Laurance standing a ways away, watching to make sure no riots showed up. They got to the poster and saw their names with their roles next to them.

"Yes!" Katelyn celebrated. "I got Jazmyn!"

Travis smiled. "Congratulations babe."

"What did you get?" Katelyn asked.

Travis scanned the poster and he frowned. Katelyn followed his gaze but burst out laughing. She couldn't stop. "You, got, the sultan? Fits your hair. And your slightly dumb personality."

"Hey. That's not fair." He whined jokingly, smirking.

"Come on. Let's go sit back down." Katelyn said.

As they headed back, they heard some yelling and turned around. A girl about eighteen was throwing a fit.

"I WANTED JAZMYN!" She yelled. She stomped around and started pushing people around and shoving everyone. Laurance ran up to her and tried to grab her by the arm but she kicked him in the shin.

"Don't touch me! WhO gOT JaZmyN! I'll BeAt HEr UP!" The girl challenged.

Travis frowned and headed over to the girl and seized her wrist. He pulled behind her back and grabbed her other arm.

"No one threatens my girl." Travis growled. Laurance came over and took the girl from Travis.

"Thanks." Laurance said.

"No, problem." Travis said.

Laurance escorted the girl out and Travis headed back to Katelyn.

"You alright?" Katelyn asked.

"I'm just startled about Laurance. Something is really off. He's not pretending to not know us or anything. He wasn't awkward. Didn't recognize me and pretend not to." Travis said.

"Let's go back, and figure this out later. We did this to relax from everything. Not to stress." Katelyn said.

They stayed for the remainder of the play practice. When the practice ended, they all left the building to relax at their own homes.

"Thank you everyone, and we'll see you next week." Jenny said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laurance watched as the play practice continued. He wasn't really watching, his mind was elsewhere. When the girl was throwing a fit, the white haired man helped get her subdued. When Laurance thanked the man, he looked concerned and almost worried.

Before he knew it, the practice was over. People began filing out. As people were leaving he saw the man and what looked like his girlfriend. He smiled and nodded at them and the blue haired girl passed him smiling. They were the last people leaving but the girl accidentally brushed against Laurance, sending him into another flashback. His mind disconnected from his body once again.

Flashback

A door bust open! Cops and FBI agents came through the door yelling.

"Quick! Garroth, go upstairs!" The blue haired girl yelled.

"But what about you guys?" A blonde werewolf yelled back.

"We'll be fine!" A raven haired girl said as some purple werewolf ears and tail, fully grown in, showed.

A cop came and jumped at raven hair, a man with a mask on went to help her up.

"Laurence! Get Garroth to safety!" He commanded.

Laurence nodded and grabbed the werewolf's hand, pulling him to the stairs.

The man with white hair charged an FBI agent and tackled him to the ground and a pink Meif'wa tried to help him knock the agent out.

A dark blue haired man was already being arrested by 2 cops. He struggled to get out of their grip with blue hair girl trying to pull them off of him.

"I'm getting some serious deja vu here!" The Meif'wa yelled.

Blonde werewolf and Laurence ran to the attic where there was just a few boxes.

"There's nowhere to hide!" Laurence panicked.

"We have to go out the window." He said.

"Are you crazy?" Laurence asked.

"I'm more sane that Zane and Aphmau."

"True."

Werewolf went to the window and punched it, shattering the glass to pieces.

They looked down. There was some bushes. They climbed out the window as the door to the attic slammed open and 3 FBI agents came in with tranquilizer guns. They jumped into the bushes and ran.

"Where do we go?" Laurence yelled.

"To Aph and Aaron's old house." He said.

End Flashback

"Laurance!" Jenny shouted.

Laurance came out of his trance to see Jenny standing in front of him, holding his pay.

"You okay?" Jenny asked him.

Laurance rubbed his face. "Ya. I'm alright. I just need to get some more sleep."

Jenny handed him his money. "You do that. Don't over stress yourself. Go get some sleep and some food."

Laurance smiled. "I'll try. Thanks Jenny."

"No problem. I'll see you next week alright?" Jenny said.

He nodded. "Yep. See you later." He exited and walked down the street as Jenny stayed to lock up.

"Next time, I'll ask that girl. Or the guy. If they know..." Laurance mumbled. He had to wait. No matter how impatient he was, he had a whole week. That isn't something he could rush.
