Chapter 10 ❣︎︎ Jukebox Jamboree!
Tonight was another Jukebox Jamboree. I was not going to be at Turkey Point to sing with them all. It broke me inside.
Allison was going to sing with them tonight. I knew because Mona told me. To warn me. They seemed to be dating and moving on without me. Wade moved on. It was week two. He did not come back. I knew it was over. Maybe I gave up to easily.
Was Baldwin right? Should I have given him a shot? Work with him and get them to break up? He could have Allison and I could have Cry Baby?
I still had a drape heart. No way was I going to stoop that low. Join the Wiffles. I knew how much that would worry Cry Baby. I could not do that to him. I was not heartless.

"Please come with us. We all miss you there" Wanda was begging me as the girls did their make up in my room.
I shake my head. "No thanks" I say softly.
"He is not dating her. They have been hanging out though" Wanda explains.
"I do not need to know what they do" I say.
"He asks me about you all the time" points out Mona.
My heart skips a beat. I have an image of him kissing Allison in the park. He was not missing me then.
"Good for him" I say.
"We all miss you. The band sounds lame without" Milton says to me.
"Not you to" I snap. "come on. I am giving the guy a break. I am fine! I am over Wade Walker. I moved on. All of you need to as well"
"You moved on? How so?" asks Wanda.
"I found someone new" I lie.
"Ya who?" asks Milton.
"We reconnected in town. And he used to go to my old high school" I lie.
♡♪♬♪♡
All eyes were on me as I lie. My cheeks blush.
"What is he like?" asks Mona.
"He is everything Wade is not. He makes me happy" I lie.
"We want to meet him" warns my sister.
"Someday" I say. "listen give this to Wade for me. Tell him I said thanks for giving it to me"
I toss Wanda my jacket. She gasps.
"Are you trying to kill the man?" she worries.
"It is not mine. He can give it to Allison" I answer.
"Allison is square" laughs my sister.
"Come on we better go. We have a concert to go to" Milton demands the girls to go.
They glance at me then head out of there. I watch them pull out of the drive way. I missed hanging out with them all. Wade most of all. I missed his kiss. His arms around me.
Riding on his bike. I never was getting over him. I had no new man. I wanted him to think that because he had someone. He had Allison. I cry. I wanted my jacket back. I wanted to beat Allison up. And demand she stayed away from my man. He was my love.
I had no right to do that.
I pull out a photo from my dresser. It was one of all of us at Turkey Point when I first came to town. Wade had his arm around me. My sister to. We all looked so happy.
So care free. I let like I was apart of a real family. For a moment. Now I had Milton and Mona. But that was it. Maybe I should go talk to Wade. I missed him so much my heart ached inside.
Did he miss me at all? I had not heard from him. I bet Allison was keeping him busy.
I soon find myself walking to Turkey Point. To watch the Jamboree. See what I was missing out on. Everyone was there. They were all dancing to the jukebox.
The band was on stage setting up the stage. I see him. My heart sticks in my throat. I sure have missed his handsome face. I hid so he could not spot me. He suddenly looks up like he could sense my being there. He looks about for a moment then goes back to work.
Allison waddles up to him. Then is smiling from ear to ear. They are talking a mile a min. My heart hurts so deeply. Love sure sucked. I never was going to allow my heart to fall in love again. Ever. Love was to painful to deal with. I never wanted it again.
I feel someone tug on my shirt. I turn around to see Suzy Q there.
♡♪♬♪♡
"Hi kiddo do not tell anyone I am here. I am here to watch the band is all" I whisper to her. "Got it kiddo?" I ask.
She nods then hugs me. "Miss you" she tells me. I melt.
"I miss you and everyone so much kid" I promise. I kiss the top of her head before she takes off.
Before long the Cry Baby band begins to play. The song "He's The King" I one day wanted to sing "I am the queen" with him.
Tears come to me as they dance and sing. I could not wait for Allison's part. I take off. Tears in my eyes. My heart was hurting.
I walk home on the back trails. I was so stupid for coming out here. Everyone moved on without me. I hated to see it but it was true. I see car headlights coming up on me. I move aside so they would go pass me on the road there.
♡♪♬♪♡
"Go away" I call out as I wave them on.
They still follow me slowly. I hear laughing.
"You could have joined me. You are a square once a square you will die a square" I hear someone laugh.
Baldwin! I was sure of it.
My heart races. I being to jog faster. The car speeds up behind me.
"Leave me alone!" I yell at the car.
"You will help me. You will get Cry Baby to break things of with Allison" laughs Baldwin.
He suddenly bumps my legs with his car a little bit. I run faster and stumble on the ground.
"Go away!" I yelp. "Help! Help!" I scream with fear.
No one was around to hear my pleas for help.
I had to stop a moment to breath. I did not see his car headlights. Maybe I lost him. I lean on my knees breathing out heavily. Then the car headlights turn back on. I hear laughing.
The car goes vroom. Vroom. The lights blind me. The car heads right at me. I scream with my hands up. I feel my legs get hit. Then I tumble to the ground. The rocks pelt into the side of my face as my head lands on the ground.
I look up to see the car headlights on. I was powerless and in pain. I could not move.
"Baldwin you went to far! Did you kill her?" I hear a Wiffle saying.
They were walking over to check on me. Then my eyes close and I feel myself passing out there on the cold ground.
