*So’Cy’s View*
“Just say it. I’m sure it’s not that bad.” He assured me.
“Well it’s not bad…it’s just that…” I’m trying to find the right words and I can’t.
“Just what?” How could I be scared of him? Well I wasn’t scared, just afraid of his reaction.
“I’m tired of waiting for you to do something, so here I go.” I paused trying to slow down my pounding heart. I had always told guys before how I felt but Howie was different. I think I actually cared about him and that’s why if he turns me down I’m gonna be hurt.
“So’Cy?” Concern was growing in his eyes and I knew I better tell him before he gets any wrong ideas.
“Howie I love you.” I blurted out. He didn’t say anything right away. He just looked at me. “Well that was easy. I’ll be back with the others.” I started to walk back when he turned me around.
“So’Cy wait. I’m glad you said something. If you would have waited for me then that would be sometime next year.” He then kissed me. I was elated that this had gone so well. He ended the kiss and looked deep into my eyes. “So’Cy I love you.” He pulled me close and held me, I lay my head on his chest and listened to his heart. “Looks like I won’t go girlfriend-less on this tour after all.”
I looked up at him. “Girlfriend-less?”
“Nevermind, it’s not important.” He said. We walked back to the others he had his hand in the small of my back. We sat down next to each other and he put his arm around me. Everyone just looked at us.
“Did I miss something?” Rachel said while lifting her head slightly off AJ’s shoulder.
“Me and So’Cy are together.” Howie said with confidence. He was so sweet with that ‘confidence’ of his. Like he had made some big achievement. I laughed lightly. “What was that?” He asked.
“Oh, nothing.” I assured.
“That’s cool that you got together. Now everyone is a bunch of couples.” Rachel commented.
“How do you think all the fans are gonna react to that?” Kevin ventured. I cringed at the thought. They would go crazy. Of course Brian would be the one to go and make the joke.
“That chick that stole my man is gonna die! Once I find out where she lives and become old enough to drive.” He said in a childish teenybopper voice. He hit it right on. I’ve heard that voice at concerts and TV on several occasions.
