Previously on Just Give Me A Reason:
Delia's POV:
We shared another embrace, and then I heard someone say something behind me.
"Aw, you guys are cute."
I turned around and saw Tom standing there.
"Oh hey Tom." I greeted him.
"Sup?" Logan said.
"Hey guys." He greeted back. "I was just looking for Garrett, there's something important I was to discuss with him."
"He was in the banquet room when I last saw him." Logan replied.
"Great thanks." Tom turned and dashed for the banquet room.
Logan and I shared a puzzled look. What does Tom need to discuss with Garrett?
And why?
Lindy's POV:
"Hmm, that's interesting." Mom commented. "What did Tom want to say?"
"Well, I'll tell you." Garrett said. "Tom talked to me outside when I was waiting for my mom to come home..."
Flashback
Garrett's POV:
I stood on the school's front stoop, waiting for my mom to get me.
"Hey, Garrett!"
I turned around and saw Tom running towards me.
"Oh hey Tom." I greeted him. "What's up?"
"I need to ask you something." He told me.
"Okay, shoot."
"Um, did you chose Jasmine or Lindy?"
The question caught me off guard. I didn't know he knew about my issues with them.
"Why do you ask?" I questioned.
"Well, I um-" He seemed flustered. "I have a crush on..." He trailed off.
"Jasmine?" I guessed.
Tom shook his head. "No." He sighed. "Lindy."
I did a double take. "Lindy?" Surprisingly, I wasn't upset. In fact, guessing Jasmine made my stomach twist up.
"Yeah. I was just wondering who you chose. I you want to be with Lindy, I totally understand. I'll back off, but if not..." A hopeful look crossed his face.
I chuckled and said, "No need to worry, buddy. Lindy's all yours. I chose Jaz."
"Thanks, Garrett." Tom clapped me on the back- a little too hard. "I think you and Jasmine are cuter together anyway."
I smiled and said, "No problem." Then I heard a car honk. "I gotta go. Mom's here."
End of Flashback
Logan's POV:
Mom grinned at Lindy. "Well now isn't that interesting?"
Lindy blushed. "Yeah I guess so." She said shyly.
"So what happened next?"
"The next day at school, everyone was talking to and congratulating me..." Delia began.
Flashback
Delia's POV:
At school on Friday, everyone was congratulating me on winning the singing competition.
"Hey Delia, great job." Jasmine told me, giving me a hug.
"Thanks." I said to her.
"Hey, have you seen Lindy?" Jaz asked me.
"I think she was over at the water fountain over there." I pointed behind me.
"Thanks." Jasmine thanked me, before scurrying away.
I walked over to Garrett who was looking conflicted a little ways away.
"Hey Garrett!" I greeted him. "How's your Jasmine and Lindy issue?"
"Shhh! Be quiet!" Garrett hissed. "Not everyone needs to know."
"Sorry."
"It's okay. And I made a decision."
"Oh, well which one is going to be your future girlfriend?" I asked him.
"I... chose Jasmine." He confessed.
I pumped my fist into the air. "Yes!"
Garrett looked at me confused. "What?"
"Well I thought you guys were super cute together." I told him, shrugging my shoulders.
"Well I-"
"Garrett!" Logan rushed over, looking panicked. "Oh hey babe." He kissed me on the cheek, and said, "You'll never believe what happened!"
"What?" Garrett and I asked in unison.
"The party's been cancelled!"
End of Flashback
Jasmine's POV:
"It was cancelled?" Mrs. Watson asked. "Then how did it end up here?"
"Well, that's coming up now." Lindy told her. "I was at my locker, and was approached by a certain brown-haired fellow..."
Flashback
Lindy's POV:
I grabbed my books out of my locker and slammed it shut.
"Hey Lindy." A familiar voice greeted me.
I glanced up.
"Oh hey Tom." I greeted him back. "What's up?"
"I need to ask you something." Tom informed me.
"Okay. What is it?"
"Do you still have feelings for Garrett?"
I blinked in mild shock. How did he know about that?
"Honestly Tom, I'm not sure." I told him truthfully. "I feel like we can be just friends, but there's something else there. But maybe if I dated someone else, I could get over him."
Tom smiled at me. "I'm glad you feel that way, Lindy." He drew in a long breath. "Lindy, I really like you, and I have for a long time, but when I heard about you and Garret... well I got really upset. I was hoping that maybe you'd give us a chance. Lindy Watson, will you go out with me?"
I stared at him for a second, then smiled. Maybe I could give it a shot.
"I think we could give it a try." I told him.
"Great!" Tom squealed. "Uh I mean, that's cool."
I giggled and beamed at him. Then it happened.
We were kissing.
It felt different from kissing Garrett, it felt like we were in the midst of a fourth of July fireworks celebration.
Yeah, this would definitely work.
"Woah."
Tom and I pulled apart. Logan was standing behind me, open mouthed.
"Well, I come to tell you guys something, and find you making out." Logan deadpanned.
Tom and I both flushed a dark red. "What is it, Logan?"
"The party was cancelled."
"What?!"
"Yeah. The senior hosting it got in a serious football accident. But then I talked to a few of his football buddies and told them I'd have the party at our house."
"WHAT?!"
