He visibly winced, but let her pull away. "So…" he trailed off before he could even begin. "What do you mean 'so'? What happened to you two fighting literally last night? You know, all that drunken rage, shoves and slaps?" Sam ranted, only taking a breath when Ian stepped forwards and put a hand in front of her. "Look, I get you're upset," the drummer started. "We all are." A glare at Zeke. "But let's hear what's going on before screaming our heads off, alright? So, Zeke, what's going on man? Is this some sort of…I don't know, a prank?" "Don't patronize me," Sam hissed, but turned and looked at Zeke expectantly. He swallowed, but shook his head. "Er, so…we'vekindofbeendatingforthepastthreeweeksanddidn'twanttotellyoubecause—" "Whoa, chill dude, say it again, but slowly," Donnie told him, coming up to rest a hand on Zeke's shoulder. Zeke turned to Rae with a hopeful expression.
"it's not a prank" was all rae said.
Zeke took a breath and nodded his agreeance, repeating what he'd try saying only a moment ago. "Er, we've kind of been dating for the past three weeks and didn't want to tell you because…well, because we were afraid you'd react…a little…like this," he mumbled, trailing off and staring at his shoe. Donnie's grip tightened on his shoulder a moment, before loosening and slipping off. The rest of Wish seemed to sigh collectively. "What the hell?" Sam's voice cut through the tense atmosphere, making the blue haired singer flinch slightly. "How did—when did this even happen? Wish and Minor have been enemies since the beginning! How did this happen?"
rae looked at him zeke for a moment not knowing quite what to say before she looked back at the bands "One day when you guys left the studio zeke and I had to gather up our supplies so we talked and pretty soon he asked me out and I said yes"Rae said with a smile,
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY YES" Rory screamed
"Because I liked him" Was all rae said.
(i love you dude, but i need a little more content from your responses. it's just hard to formulate anything when you get single sentence responses all the time, you know?)
(i know sorry i've been busy)
(it's okay, i get it. thank you!!)
Zeke glanced briefly to Rory, but looked away just as quickly. "You asked her out?" Sam shouted. "How could I not?" Zeke yelled back defensively. He instantly regretted it when he saw the hurt look on Sam's face. "Sorry for yelling," he mumbled. "But I don't understand why we have to pretend to hate people just because we're in different bands. Rae is kind, crazy talented and has a wonderful personality…" he cut himself off, watching quietly as Sam tensed and stared like a deer in headlights at Minor. Ian quickly interjected, "We don't pretend to hate them…right, guys?" Donnie was shaking his head and looking defeated, posture deflating as he moved to put an arm around Sam. "We can't…we can't be all buddy-buddy with a rival band," she said, though it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself.
"Here lets make this simple" Dawn said "Rae break up with him"
"what?" rae asked not believing what she was hearing.
"break up with him" Dawn repeated.
Rae slowly turned her body to look Zeke straight in eye.
Zeke reluctantly met her gaze. "Let's not do this," he pleaded quietly. He quickly turned to Dawn, saying, "Dawn, right? Why should you get to tell her what to do? She's her own independent person, as am I!" He looked ready to challenge them further, but Sam jumped forwards to put a hand on his shoulder. "No one's doubting you guys are independent people! But this—this secrecy—Zeke, we just got signed to a label, for Christ's sake!" Zeke froze and turned to look at her. "We got…when?" he demanded, shaking loose. "Earlier this afternoon," Donnie cut in guiltily. "And you didn't tell me?" the singer asked, feeling betrayed. "How could we? You were off running around with the singer of Minor Murders!" Sam rose to Donnie's defense. "Actually, I was off running errands for you because we got into a 'fight'," Zeke hissed at them. "I just happened to run into my girlfriend, and invited her to come with me." He paused and took a few breaths, before looking at Rae again. "I don't want to lose you," he whispered.
Rae looked up at him, tears swelling up in her eyes. She grabbed both his hands and laced thier fingers. "I don't want to lose you ethier" she said with a whisper although her voice came out hoarse.
"Then why are we doing this?" he asked, voice breaking slightly. "They shouldn't have to approve of our relationship," he told her pleadingly, sparing a moment to glare at each individual person there, minus Rae, obviously.
(true, but i feel bad for rae, too)
Rae smiled weakly, letting go of one of his hands she put it on his cheek "I know darling" was all Rae said. She had no intentions of breaking it off with Zeke, She was head over heels with this boy. Heck shed quit the band for him if she had to.
Zeke stared into her eyes, trying to read what she was thinking. Finally he turned back to the rest of Wish and said, "I hope this doesn't come between us. I really do. But I'm not just going to blindly listen to what you say anymore. Not with this."
Rae looked at Zeke with loving eyes and a pearly white smile. Minor Murders just rolled thier eyes and scoffed in disgust.
(sorry im a little busy)
