Chapter Thirteen (Ready or Not... Its Saturday!)
Joey's POV
"Okay, Susanna. Tell us what we're doing here?" Alan locked eyes on her.
"You haven't told them yet?" Caleb stares at Susanna, his jaw slack.
"Told us what?" I am completely confused.
"You mean you hadn't?" Susanna stares at her hands. "I know. I'm really bad about putting things off. But I did get everything ready for today!"
"Will someone just say what's going on!!!" Chad yells. When everyone looks at him, he shakes his head. "Yeah. The yelling. I know."
"You started this Susanna. It's your baby." Caleb says pointing at her.
She takes in a deep breath and let's it out slow. "Okay well the other day Caleb and I ran into L.A.... I might have invited her to come and dance for a music video for you guys." She offers me a sheepish grin.
"All right let's do this thing!" I walk over and take her hand. "You three in?"
"Might as well. I was there when the idea popped right out of Susanna's mouth." Caleb shrugs.
"Wait... I'm confused, what video? Did I miss that memo?" Chad says, looking at Alan.
"Nope. But since Susanna was so eager to make the offer, we are going to all do the dancing." Alan says matter of factly. When we ask him what song, his eyebrow raises and he grins. "One of Susanna's." He crosses his arms across his chest.
"Wait. What? I don't remember that being part of the plan." She blurts and her hand is quivering in mine.
"Fair is fair." Alan says and turns to leave. "Alright, let's get the show on the road. She should be here before long."
As my band mates leave, I turn to my trembling girlfriend. "Joey, I... " She can't even form words.
"It's alright. Remember God's got this. We just gotta glow for him." I hug her and when I pull away she is squinting at me, wearing a funny grin.
"You are using my own words against me aren't you?" Susanna questions.
I shrug, and she laughs. " Hey, if it works. Don't worry we all have your back."
"Guess I'm making my debut music video then." She gives a weak smile.
L.A.'s POV
Well today is Saturday and I'm heading to the address Susanna gave me the other day. I'm still not sure if I will actually go in or not, though. I'm just in sight of the building when I can't get past the feeling that I'm feeling being followed.
I turn around to see James walking several feet back behind me. He's not really watching me, probably just on his way home. He's studying buildings and tilting his head as he looks, I call out to him. "James. Is that you?"
He actually jumps a little. "L.A. when did you walk up?"
I laugh, I can't deny that I like this boy. "You were walking behind me. What are you doing anyway?"
"Taking photos." He holds up his camera. "This city is perfect for it. Where are you headed?"
I put my arms around my stomach in a self hug. I'm still not great with questions.... yet. "Well I got an opportunity to dance in a music video."
"You dance too?" He asks with wide eyes. I'm not sure what to think of that, but before I can 'hide back in my turtle shell', he speaks up again. "So do I. I'm not the greatest maybe, but I like it too."
"Wow. Photography and a dancer, double threat." I'm not entirely sure, but I think I may be flirting.
"Says Miss Triple Threat, what with the dancing, singing, and guitar." He gives me a goofy grin and my heart thumps loud in my ears so loud I'm sure that he can hear it.
I turn to the buildings, I hadn't noticed we had came to my stop. "Well here it goes." As I place my hand on the door, I have an idea. "Hey... James?"
"What do you need?" James asks me with caring eyes.
"Would you want to come with me? I'm sure Susanna and the guys wouldn't mind?" I ask hesitantly.
"Sure thing. It sounds like fun." We enter the building together, and are ears are met with music and lots of laughter. James and I look at each other, then we both have a hard time not busting out laughing at the scene in front of us.
Joey, Alan, Chad and Caleb are all dancing to a song talking about "what I'm looking for". There dance moves are totally random and crazy, each doing something different. It's pretty funny.
"This is my birthday dance." Caleb calls out.
"Bro, you are ridiculous. That can't beat the Stamper." Joey challenges his friend with his own "signature" move.
At first I don't see Susanna anywhere, then I spot her. She's down in the floor, holding her stomach and laughing super hard.
When the song ends Chad goes over and looks down at her. "Are you mocking me little sis?"
"No Chaddy. It's just you guys were so funny." Her voice comes out breathy from laughing so hard.
"Don't call me that!" Chad glares at her. The two look like they are about to have an all out duel.
Alan sighs as he walks past Joey, he leans and whispers to the youngest member of Anthem Lights. "You and Susanna are perfect for each other." Joey's face gets red, and his mouth moves but no words come out.
As Alan passes Joey and then starts breaking up the brewing argument between Chad and Susanna, James laughs and whispers to me. "She's like a female Joey."
"I heard that!" Susanna says brushing her hair over her shoulder, as she makes her way over to James and I. "Thanks!" She gives us a kooky grin. "Sorry when I'm around these four, some more than others..." She looks over her shoulder at Chad. "I get a little crazy."
"Didn't we have other business to attend to?" Caleb says steering the conversation away from another "battle".
"Yup. Let's get down to dancin'!" Joey yells a battle cry. We all laugh. This should be really interesting.

Author's Note:
So I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. This was pretty fun to write, especially the part about Susanna and the guys dancing to That's What I'm Looking For. In case for some reason you have never heard that song before, I suggest you listen to it while reading this chapter, maybe even on repeat. Or at least just once :P
Anyways I hope you enjoyed it. Listen to the song (which I included as the video for this chapter) and just use your imagination about how the guys would be dancing. Yeah... your welcome for the laughter. :)
Have an awesome day, you lovely readers!
