Chapter 2

Sun Hi was shocked. "You did this at Saylor's party?" she asked. "In Saylor's room?"

"Yeah," Corki replied. "Oh God, I didn't even think of that."

Sun Hi nodded. "I can't believe you did... that, on a fourteen years old's bed!" she said.

"Oh my God," Corki repeated. "I have to tell Saylor! But I can't, she'll be so mad!"

"Too late for that," they heard a voice from the doorframe.

They turned around to see Saylor. "What are you doing here?!" Sun Hi asked.

"I came to get my phone," Saylor replied. "But I'm leaving now."

She ran out crying. "Saylor!" Corki called out, but it was no use.

Sapphire came into the room. "Hey, have you guys seen Sayels?" she asked.

"She just ran out," Corki said. "She's upset because I'm pregnant, and Jared's the father. She'll be back, don't worry."

"What?!" Sapphire yelled. "Saylor's on suicide watch! She could die!"

Sun Hi and Corki's eyes went wide. Kyler and Ally came from around the corner. "Saph, are you okay?" Kyler asked.

"Saylor just ran out," she replied. "She's gonna do something stupid."

Ally and Kyler nodded because they knew what to do, and ran out, looking for her. Sapphire did too, and Sun Hi and Corki joined the search as well. They looked everywhere in the school, before finally deciding she wasn't there. "Wait," Sapphire said. "There's one more place we haven't looked, Caleb's room."

They all ran to the boys' floor and knocked on Caleb's door. No answer. They checked to see if it was locked, but it wasn't, so they opened the door just slightly. Inside, they saw Jodi and Caleb sitting on the bed, with Saylor in between them. Saylor's head was resting on Jodi's shoulder. Jodi had her arm around Sayels. "We gotta stick together," Jodi said. "We've both thought about stuff we shouldn't have."

Saylor nodded. "I'm sorry I overreacted," Saylor said.

"No, it was our fault," Jodi replied. "We shouldn't have ignored you for so long. And I shouldn't have shut everyone else out. I'm sorry for that."

"It's okay," Saylor replied. "Not your fault either. I'm sorry about Stacey by the way."

Jodi nodded. "She saved our lives," she said. "She'd do anything to protect you and me. You were like another younger sister to her."

Caleb smiled upon his younger sister and girlfriend. Finally, they were getting along again. Hopefully soon, the whole band would once again be like that.

Sapphire let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. "She's okay," she whispered.

Corki knocked on the door. "Can we come in?" she asked.

"Sure," Jodi replied.

As soon as Corki entered the room, Saylor's smile turned to a frown. "What do you want?" she asked.

Corki looked apologetically at Saylor. "I'm sorry," she said. "Saylor how many times do I have to say it?"

Saylor shrugged. "Okay," Jodi said. "Saylor told us she was mad, but she never told us why. Corki?"

Corki sighed. "I'm pregnant," she replied.

"What?!" Caleb and Jodi asked at the same time, standing up.

Corki sighed. "And Jared's the father," she said. "And he doesn't know yet. Sayels, I said I'm sorry, I know how close you are to your brother."

"It's okay," Saylor replied. "When do you think you're going to tell him?"

"Well, he's coming over on Friday for a visit, I'll tell him at dinner then," she replied. "Will you guys come with me? In case..."

Saylor hugged the eighteen year old. "I will," she said. "And if he does anything bad, he's dead."

Corki giggled. "Thanks," she replied.

That night, Corki was reading when it hit her. She suddenly froze. "Cork, you okay?" Jodi asked.

"Get the band," she whispered scarred. "I just realized something."

Sun Hi sent a massive text to the group that had been there the night of Corki coming out about her dyslexia. Except that the role call got changed just a little. "Band mates?" Sun Hi asked.

"Here," Jodi, Saylor, and Corki replied.

"DJ?"

"Here," Caleb replied.

"Little DJ?"

"Here," Ricky replied.

"Boyfriends?"

"Here," Caleb, Dylan, and Ricky replied.

I wish Jared was here, Corki though to herself.

"Best friends?"

"Here," Kyler, Sapphire, and Ally replied.

"Okay," Sun Hi said. "Corki, what's the big emergency?"

Corki sighed. "I can't perform like this," she replied.

Jodi, Saylor, and Sun Hi looked at each other in realization. They nodded. "What are we gonna do?" Sun Hi asked.

"We could go back to being a three person group," Jodi suggested. "But most of our songs are designed so that Sun Hi sings alone, and Saylor sings with me and Cork."

"I have an idea," Saylor said. "What if Ally and Kyler joined us? I've heard them sing, and they're amazing."

Ally and Kyler blushed from where they were sitting. "That's not bad," Jodi said. "What do you guys think?"

Ally went silent. "I'd do it," Kyler said. "But I'm only in it if Ally is."

"I don't know," Ally replied shyly. "I mean, I like to sing, but not in front of people."

"It's okay," Corki replied. "Just think about it, kay?"

"Okay," Ally replied.


.....two days later.....


"Corki, you look amazing," Saylor commented. "Jared isn't going to be able to know what hit him."

Corki giggled. "I hope so," she replied, twirling in her dress.

"Can I do your hair?" Saylor asked.

"Sure," Corki replied, and sat on Sun Hi's bed so that Saylor could fix it.

Saylor fiddled with Corki's hair for a few minutes, while she and her talked. "You ready for tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah," she replied. "I think so. I just hope he doesn't leave me once he finds out."

Saylor hugged Corki. "If he does, you won't need to worry," she said. "Because you will never see him again."

She giggled. "Let's go," she said. "The girls are probably getting worried."

Saylor and Corki walked through the school and got into the backseat of Jodi's car. Jodi was driving and Sun Hi was shotgun. They drove to the new fancy restaurant, Goutte De Pluie, which had great reviews on the website Sun Hi had looked it up on. The four girls came in one car, and the boyfriends had gone in Caleb's.

The girls reached the car, and Corki looked out the window, and saw Jared. She sighed. Here we go.


Hope you guys enjoyed Chapter 2! So, Corki's gotta tell Jared the news! I wonder how that will go. Don't forget to comment and vote!
