Always A Day Too Late

As we walked back to Joe’s locker, people would stare at us. The guys, cuz they wanted me, lets face it I was one of the hottest girls in school. The girls were jealous of me having Joe. He was gorgeous, 6’1”, bright blue eyes, shaggy black hair, he could almost be considered a prep, almost, cuz if he was I wouldn’t be with him. Although I didn’t like to admit it, something was never right between us. I mean, he was the guy I was supposed to be with, right? Joe threw me off of my thoughts

“Baby, ugh hello!” I shook my head and smiled at him

“Yea sorry, I was just thinking.”

“Bout what, finally giving it up to me?” I noticed the attitude in his tone.

“Haha, you know I’m not ready.” I put my arms around him and stood on my tip toes giving him a quick peck.

“Yea haven’t been for a year.” I hear him mutter under his breath. I just shake it off,

“See you later babe.” I smile as the bell rings and walked away.

As I walked out to my Trailblazer after school I see a bunch of bums resting on my car.

“Hey that’s a no resting zone!” I yell then laugh as they all jumped when I made my alarm go off.

“Not nice bitch.” Brian laughed at me.

“Yea, but you still love me.” I winked.

“Easy LynnZ, you already tried to steal Taylor’s boyfriend today, lets not make it mine too” I pretend to look hurt.

“So where is the all amazing Joe?” I heard Taylor mutter.

“He’s got baseball practice with Zack and Matt. Duh!” I say as like it were the most obvious thing in the world.

“Where’s Jim-bo?” I ask Rhian, when I see her face light up I get my answer. All the sudden I feel my hair get messed up.

“Jimmy!” I scream as I chase him around my car. I couldn’t catch him so I stopped and threw my water bottle at him.

“Ouch!” he held his forehead while everyone laughed.

“Ok, so who needs a ride?”

“SHOTGUN!”

“SHOTGUN NO BLITZ!” I hear Taylor and Rhian scream as they try and the front seat. I laugh at them knowing the doors are locked. I watch as Taylor stops, walks over to Jimmy, and with Rhian watching wraps her hands around him

“Fine, I’ll sit in the back with Jim-bo.” Rhian just glares at her

“Fine!” she yells walking back over to Jimmy as Taylor walks away laughing.

“Ok hoes, lets go...oh I rhymed.” I laugh sticking out my tongue, as they all roll their eyes.

“Your still coming to band practice, right?” Brian says as him and Niki are walking towards his car.

“Psh yea, of course. Why wouldn’t I?” I ask raising my eyebrow at the question.

“Thought the boyfriend might keep you on a short chain tonight sug.” Niki winks at me.

“Please! Since when did I ever let him stop me? Bro’s before hoes!” I laugh. They all look at me like I’m crazy

“Did you just call your boyfriend a hoe?” Rhian laughs.

“Yup” I grin

“Since the band are my bro’s, by the way did anyone see Johnny today?” They all started muttering about him something or other. Weird, I just shrug it off.

“Ok lets go, I got to get to work before practice tonight.”

“Ooh at least you’ll smell pretty” Taylor laughed at me. Yup, I worked at Bath & Body Works for cash. Otherwise my parents wouldn’t pay my bills. Yes I have my own house and Rhian and Taylor live with me. Niki just about does she is there 24/7. Rhian does because her parents moved back to England and she needed somewhere to live, and we were not losing her. Taylor just because she wanted to, but her parents pay for our groceries and give her spending money. So guess who hosts all the parties? Me. I like it that way. As soon as we got home Taylor, Rhian, and Jimmy all headed for the couch and I headed upstairs to take a shower. The sweet thing about me owning the house, master bed and bath. Oh yea. So I hoped in the shower letting the hot water wash away all the stupid comments from the day. I got out did my makeup, put my hair in a ponytail letting my bangs fall over my eye. Then I put on my black polo shirt, white jeans, and flip flops. I headed downstairs for work

“Bye, see you guys at Matt’s tonight.” I walk out the door.

After asking the 50 millionth person today 'Would you like to try our Mango-Mandarin Body Cream?' with a smile and rubbing it on no matter who it was, I was ready to go home hop in the shower and head to Matt’s. I was straightening up the shelves, when I heard

“Hey baby.” I turned around to see Joe.

“Oh, hey Joe.”

“Nice to see you too.” he said with a pissed off look on his face.

“You coming to mine after work?”

“No, I’m going over to Matt’s for band practice.”

“Why do you listen to that shit, they’re music is crap, and why do I never get to come?” This pissed me off.

“Their music is not crap it’s brilliant, and maybe that’s why you can’t come, why do they want you there if you hate their music?”

“Fine whatever bye.” he stormed out of the store.

I just rolled my eyes, I didn’t want to deal with the drama anyways.

“You can go now LynnZ.” I heard Tamica, my manager say. Finally.

Johnny’s POV

I walked into the basement seeing everyone was already there, except for LynnZ, and Tam who never came anyways. I guess I looked disappointed cuz Matt walked over

“Dude don’t worry she’s coming, so focus on your playing.” he laughed and walked away. Me and Zacky were talking about some changes in the music when I hear

“I’m here!” and LynnZ walking down the steps. I stared at her talking to the girls about something. She looked hot, her hair was down, she was wearing those purple contacts she always wore, one of those half hoodies that showed off her stomach and got stretched by her huge boobs and a pair of tight jeans. All the sudden she looked at me and I smiled

“Johnny!” she runs up hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her, if she only knew.

“Where were you today? I missed you.” she grins.

“I was around.” I laugh

“LynnZ sit your ass down and leave our bassist alone!” Matt warned her laughing. She stuck out her tongue and went and sat down on Taylor’s lap.

One of these days that guy is gonna fuck up, and I’m gonna be there waiting...

LynnZ’s POV

As the guys finished, we all sat around doing nothing

“So par-tay at ours on Saturday!?” I smile

“Hell yea!” Jimmy and Brian say together.

“You gonna get drunk with us this time LynnZ?” Matt grinned.

“Haha. Nope, I’ll stick with my Gatorade.” I lift my bottle and laugh.

“Screw your damn Gatorade!” Taylor screeches and everyone laughs

“Hey Taylor! I got this new stuff called Hateorade...why don’t you drink some you hater!” I laugh and everyone throws stuff at me.

“Oh my god LynnZ your so fucking lame.” Niki laughed.

“Yea, your right, but not as lame as Zacky!” I laugh and Zacky pretends to cry. I looked over at Johnny who was looking at me and he smiled. I got butterfly's....What the fuck! I DO NOT get butterfly’s! Why was he making me feel like that? I knew he didn’t like me like that. I mean he’s always asked me out the day after someone else did. I always assumed it was a joke. Wasn’t it...
