Tough Love Part 88; Part 2
Chapter 88; Part 2 His Lucky Star (The "Destiny" Album Release Party) The doorbell sounds again. Hugh answers and thereâ??s Tatum again. Rosie Perez, her friend, came also, but I was still, you know, uncomfortable. â??Hi Michael.â? she goes over to hug him and when I see Rosie, I was surprised to see her coming up to me so we could hug. â??Girl, Iâ??ve missed you.â? she laughs. â??Hey, join in the party.â? â??Yeah, because this is the album release party.â? Michael says. Me and Rosie follow the music, and we start dancing. â??So youâ??re not tripping about Tatum hanging with Michael?â? â??Well guess whoâ??s going to Hawaii and who isnâ??t.â? I only shrug. She laughs. â??Girl you are crazy!â? â??Just keeping it real.â? I say. â??Hey, I see you got some swift moves.â? â??Yeah. I want to be a choreographer.â? â??Cools! Teach me some moves.â? â??Okay.â? She says. â??Just follow what I do.â? The song we were listening to was perfect for us. â??You catch on fast. Whatâ??s your secret?â? â??Ainâ??t no secret. I just cheered in middle school and my first two years of high school. Itâ??s embedded in you. But I had no choice my first year. It was catch on or get left looking stupid. Take your pick.â? She laughs at me. â??Now show me what you got.â? So I try something on the spot and laugh at myself and she follows in. After the song, we collapse on the floor. â??So what do you plan on doing with your life?â? â??Me and Hugh was just talking about that.â? I laugh. â??He wants me to singâ?¦but like Jim Lange said yesterday, my main thing is acting I think.â? â??But Jim said â??entertainerâ??. Thatâ??s a wide range. That can be anything from acting, or being one of the Three Stooges and making little kids laugh.â? â??Yeah, well I know itâ??s a lot.â? â??Ainâ??t no thang but a chicken wang.â? I laugh. â??Soâ?¦is Tatum going to do more acting?â? â??You bet! From what I know, thatâ??s gonna be her main job.â? She had just released her latest movie this year. Itâ??s called â??International Velvetâ?. And itâ??s quite ironic that it was released one of my favorite teacherâ??s birthdays, Agnes Tatum. So Iâ??m sure you see the irony there. â??But hey, I feel you have potential too. I know you donâ??t want to rely on your pretty looks.â? Then she leans over a squeeze my cheek. â??Come on. You are too much.â? I grab her hand to help her up. As weâ??re leaving the room, I look afar from one of the glass windows. I see Tatum and Michael having a serious conversation. But sheâ??s mainly doing the talking. No condensation at allâ?¦but could it be about me? Rosie stops walking as she looks at me and now Iâ??m about sure sheâ??s looking at what Iâ??m looking at. Tatum pulls him in a hug. Then I see her look into his face; probably his eyes. They rub each otherâ??s arms. She kisses his cheek and he looks remorseful as she walks away back into the house. Before I think to do it, Rosie pulls us back into the room and we hide deep in the corner until we sure Tatum has gotten true distance between us. When were about to walk out again, Michael walks in the house, so we had to wait even longer! But when we were finally sure, we walk back to everyone and grab some food. But things really arenâ??t the same. I felt like Michael was more of Tatumâ??s boyfriend than my friend. She kind of had that smirk on her face, so I looked over at Randy while he was watching me, and I decided to use him as a prop. Okay, so that sounded wrong, but he already knew that. I didnâ??t do anything inapt; we just seemed a little chummier than before. We danced more; even to the notable songs he has covered. Like we danced to Smokeyâ??s â??Whoâ??s Lovinâ?? Youâ?, which I knew snatched Michaelâ??s heart, but who cares? â??Cause I donâ??t. He barely looked my way, which hurt, so me and Randy kept at it. â??I wished you acted like this towards me a long time ago!â? I roll my eyes. â??You have no idea, Randy.â? I say as I shrug. When we left, I hugged Hugh one last time after telling Rosie, not Tatum, bye. Hugh smiles and winks at me. â??Remember what we talked about.â? â??I will.â? And it just seemed like a dark cloud hovered over me as I got in the car with Michael. I didnâ??t help that the painting on the outside of the car was dark because it made me even sadder. â??What did Hugh talk to you about?â? I look at him. â??I canâ??t tell you. But hey, I know you have a pen. Let me get some paper as well.â? â??Youâ??ll have to check in here.â? he was talking about the armrest between us. â??Or the glove department.â? I found some in the first and a book, so I pressed the paper on it. And I let my pen go free: â??Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he wonâ??t see That Iâ??m want and Iâ??m needing everything that we should be Iâ??ll bet sheâ??s beautifulâ?¦that girl he talks about And sheâ??s got everything that I have to live without!â??â? â??What are you writing over there?â? Michael disrupts me. But I continue with it anyways. In the end, I think itâ??s safe to say I called it â??Teardrops on My Guitarâ?. Iâ??m not even great with the guitar compared to others, but thatâ??s what I feel like. I kinda knew the music I knew had the music matched to the song itself. Since Donovan, Austin, and Jerome are profound players on the guitar, I know all I have to do is ask one of them and theyâ??ll show me how to play. When I get home, the first thing I do, right after giving Mom and Dad a quick hug, is go to my room. â??Hey Michael, whatâ??s Hughâ??s number?â? â??I donâ??t know it by heart, but Iâ??ll call my house and get it.â? Really I wasnâ??t counting on having to wait so long, but I get the number. When I try harmonizing it to Hugh, I barely get the last line out when he says, â??Nun-uh. Something better, Lyr. Something more alive. Pretty song, but I almost died listening to it. For this occasion it has to motivate people to dance, to sing with you. No broken-hearted songs, please.â? â??Okay, Iâ??ll do my best.â? Great! Way to be snappy, Hugh! Now what am I gonna do?! Regardless, Iâ??ll show it to Donovan. I know he and the others can dress it up to make it better. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Hey. Hope you enjoyed this part!! No offense to anyone or anything said in the context, I just went with the flow of the conversation, and whatâ??s going to be true. Plus I borrowed â??Teardrops on My Guitarâ? from Taylor Swift, but all rights go to the writer, herself. Please vote up, because you just donâ??t know. After that February performance, your world is going to be rocked! Plus I titled this chapter this because I felt thatâ??s how Lyric felt about Hugh, thought she donâ??t realize the possible benefits from his unshaken request. She akso had to play Randy's â??lucky starâ?. -Aariyan ;) URL of what Michael was wearing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53aFJsj37Ws (This video has been up for years, so I hope it stays that way so we all can see what he was wearing)
