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?!"
