And you know, you know it's true This is a fight I refuse to lose-------------------------- Jake had definitely not been the most quite child. He hadn't been bad exactly...just hyper and loud, like any little boy. He had most likely been a bit more well behaved than some kids. It wasn't like he rolled around in mud then went running through the house. He had actually been a clean kid, oddly enough, since most weren't. But he had been an active kid, playing sports all the time. So luckily, for his parents, those sports had taken up a lot of his energy. Unluckily for Jake, he was an only child. Never had an older sibling to bug. Or a younger sibling to guide through life. Until he met Milo, Drew and Symphony. Milo and Drew were like his older brother, while Symphony was kind of like his little sister. Not that he thought of her as a little sister anymore. Oh no he did not!
Jake stared at her for a few moments, which felt like a few hours. He had just told her he liked her, only her, and now he needed a response. Before he went crazy. To be fair, Jake knew she must have been confused. Any person would be. I want you to say you like me to... Jake couldn't help but inwardly roll his eyes. Of course that was what he wanted her to say! But he didn't show that he felt that way, instead he just continued looking at her, biting his lip, a nervous habit. "Why couldn't we work out?" Jake asked, frowning. No! No, no, no! This was unfair. She wasn't supposed to be saying this. "No, please, Symphony, don't go." He sighed, reaching across and taking one of her hands in his. "Or at least let me come with you. Please?" Jake asked. Now he was kind of begging.

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined when you were young
__________________________
Feeling the warmth of his hand made her calm down a little bit..kind of. It obviously pretty much set her heart off the radar, but it also made her settle into her seat. She shook her head, and sighed a bit, biting her lower lip. "I'll stay..." She mumbled, wishing she had the strength to tug her hand away, but glad that she didn't. Maybe...maybe they could work out. Or they could try! But she didn't want to ruin their friendship...but that would only happen if it ended badly. If it didn't it would probably just make their friendship even better, right? Oh, she was so confused. Part of her wanted to tell him that she was in love with him, and had been for years, and just wanted him to be all hers, and the other part just wanted to lie and say that she didn't like him in that way, that she only liked him as a friend...but that was a lie, and Symphony almost never lied. Almost. Every now and then she would lie, but only if it benefited somebody else. She almost never lied for her own good. There was no point in it, really. She'd never felt the need to...until just moments ago. But she wasn't going to lie to Jake. Not after how sweet he was being. She could tell that he really liked her...
"...I...do you think we could work out?" She asked, looking at him with a curious expression on her face. "Because...I mean...I really do like you...and if you think it could work out..." as she struggled to find the right words to say she just gave up in the middle, and looked at him hopelessly, hoping he could somehow read her mind or something. "Do...do you understand what I'm trying to say? Because I'm not even sure I do. My brain is all jumbled, it's making it hard to think." That was probably the most she'd said in forever. Literally.

And you know, you know it's true This is a fight I refuse to lose-------------------------- Jacob let out a sign of relief as she said she would stay. If Symphony left...he'd have to wait another couple days before they could...they could talk about what had just happened. She liked him...or at least, Jake was ninety percent sure she liked him. The other ten percent still didn't know. And even though the part that thought she liked him was bigger...he still could be wrong. And Jake didn't want to be wrong, because that would mean Symphony didn't like him...and he wanted her to like him. Jake wanted it to be true so badly. Even if there was a possibility of their friendship becoming awkward if things didn't work out. Jake wouldn't let things not work out though. He would work incredibly hard for them to be perfect. Or at least, near perfect. Because, well, no one was perfect. Especially not Jake. Just look at all the flirting he did! Well, used to do. He was proud of himself for attempting to change. Being able to show Symphony how much he really cared about her. Now Jake just needed to see if she cared about him...
"Symphony...I-I'll do whatever it takes to make us work out. I really will." He promised her. So she did like him! Jake couldn't help but smile when she said that. He kind of got what she was saying...he really did. She'd be willing to try...if he thought it'd be good. At least, Jake thought that was what she meant. He sure as hell hoped that was what she meant. "Kind of...yeah." He said, glad she was talking this much. It was nice. "But I know we would be good. I mean, we're best friends...we know pretty much everything about one another. How couldn't that be good?" Jake said, biting his lip.

__________________________
Even if she was feeling nervous, and embarrassed, and kind of scared for some strange reasons he was also feeling happy. Like a heavy load was lifted. And it was, in a way. She had been liking Jacob for...a long time, and never told anyone. not her few friends, not her brother, not anything. She'd kind of been denying it to herself for a long time as well. Of course the reason for her being scared was probably because...she was afraid. Afraid that their friendship would be completely ruined when things ended badly. Because of course things were going to end badly. Even if she and Jake had never had a fight before she knew that they were going to have a million as couples. They were pretty much complete and total opposites, it was bound to happen eventually. But Symphony didn't care. She wanted to at least try. Even if it would make things awkward when it all ended.
"I...I guess we could try." She mumbled, glancing up at him before looking back down. What happened next? This wasn't exactly how she imagined her and Jake getting together in her little day dreams she'd had a couple times. But whatever, it didn't matter all that much. "You can ask me out now..." She said, quietly, feeling like a complete and utter cliche. Like her life was some movie with a badly written script written by a sixteen year old girl with no muse. "I won't say no this time." She had to admit that even though she used to get annoyed by him asking her out...well, kind of annoyed. It was a half annoyed half flattered mostly happy kind of thing. Anyway, it felt weird to be asking him to ask her out, after turning him down so many times.

And you know, you know it's true This is a fight I refuse to lose-------------------------- Surprisingly enough...Jake was nervous too. And he wasn't the type of guy to get nervous. Not before shows, not around girls [except Symphony of course]. He hadn't even gotten nervous before big tests when he was still in school! But now he was nervous. Because...a part of him hadn't expected that the two would ever go out. And now Jake didn't know what to do. The chase was over...and now all he had to do was ask her out and...voila, they were going out. He had gone out with girls before and hadn't been nervous, so why was he nervous now? Jake had no idea... Maybe because he liked Symphony more than he had liked any other girl. That was probably it. And well...that thought kind of scared him.
When Symphony finally agreed to go out with him...Jacob sure hadn't pictured it happening at McDonalds. It was always a random location...one he didn't really know the name of whenever he had thought about it. Well...okay, day dreamed. But day dreamed sounded girly...so Jake just went with 'thinking'. There had been a park in one thought. And a mall. But not the mall in Pomona. Just some random mall. With no one in it. Yeah, the boy had weird day dreams. Or...'thoughts'. "Good...I've been waiting for the day you'd finally say yes." Jake said to her, a smile on his face. "So, Symphony." Jake said, acting all serious...which was quite unusual for him. "Do you, uh...do you want to go out with me? You know...by m-my girlfriend?" He asked. Wow...he had even stuttered. That was definitely unusual. But he was nervous! Give the guy a break. Plus, his stuttering was cute.

__________________________
Now Jake was stuttering? Oh, he was just so cute. She'd never really seen him nervous before...or at least she hadn't ever noticed he was nervous. But now he obviously was, and it was the absolute cutest thing ever. It was also just so damn cute to see him acting all serious...that was another thing she didn't really get to see often. Even though she loved the unserious jake the serious one was always fun as well. Well, not exactly fun, but it was a refreshing change of pace...as long as he wasn't serious in a bad way. But this time he was serious in a good way. If that even makes any sense.
"Yes...of course." She said, her cheeks heating up. She couldn't help it, it was habit. She couldn't help but feel surprised that she didn't really feel any different...she and Jacob were finally dating. He was her boyfriend. She had a boyfriend, one that she actually liked. And yet she still felt like the same old Symphony-Rain. It was kind of a let down, but she didn't care. She was still happy, probably the happiest she'd been in a long time. Not that she wasn't usually happy, but, well, she was even happier than usual. She hadn't really been expecting him to just jump with the question of her being his girlfriend, she had been expecting him to ask her out on a date...again. But she was glad that he did it this way. It somehow showed that he was more serious, or at least those were Symphony's thoughts on the matter. She just really hoped that he wouldn't flirt with other girls...at least not around her. Because that would make her sad...and she wouldn't even be able to say anything. Because, well, she was Symphony. And the last time she'd actually said what shew as thinking her mother had cried...
"So...now what happens?" She asked, biting her lip and looking at him. She wasn't hungry anymore, even though her salad was good. She was too excited to be hungry, even though on the outside she looked completely calm, cool, and collected. And so she dropped her fork, and started tracing shapes on the table with her forefinger. She probably should leave soon...they probably both should, but she wasn't about to say that. She didn't really want to leave.

And you know, you know it's true This is a fight I refuse to lose-------------------------- Jake found his stuttering kind of embarrassing...though girls found it cute, so he didn't really mind it. And he kind of liked when he was serious. It showed people a different side. A side they never got to see. And it seemed as if Symphony didn't mind how he was acting. So...Jake was good with it. As long as she was happy, he was happy. And he'd do anything to make her happy. He really would. Seeing a smile on her face was...perfect. As cheesy as that sounded, it was true. Jake loved seeing her happy! It made him happy. Which was pretty sweet...especially for a guy. Most guys weren't sweet. Jake was definitely the opposite.
Jake grinned as she agreed to be his girlfriend, and couldn't help but utter a little "Yay.". Jake chuckled and looked at her, with her adorable little blush. Finally! They were dating. He had been waiting for this to happen for months. Around four months, to be precise. At first he hadn't shown how much he had liked her. Just complimented Symphony a bit more...gave her a couple more hugs than he usually did. Little things like that. It hadn't been up until the past month and a half he made it obvious he liked her. And now she knew...and now they were dating. Jake wondered what the rest of the band would say. Wondered what the public would say. Hopefully good things. He didn't want Symphony to read stuff and doubt their relationship. Even though Jake highly doubted she would do that...it could happen.
"Now we..." He thought. "Now we decide where we should go on a date?" He offered, a little chuckle escaping. "And we could go back to the bus and...hang out?" Jake asked, a hopeful tone in his voice. It wasn't like they hadn't hung out on the bus before. And it wasn't like he was going to jump on her the minute they got alone. Hell...Jake probably wouldn't even kiss her until he was sure she wouldn't get all freaked out. It would be hard waiting, but he'd do it. Because that was what Symphony wanted. And if Milo or Drew ever found out he had pressured her into something...oh boy, Jake would be killed.

__________________________
Symphony wasn't even thinking about kissing. Sure, maybe she'd thought about it before...you know, wondered what it would be like to kiss Jake, but at that moment the thought would have seemed odd to her. They had just started dating! Why would they kiss? Symphony wasn't one to have quick relationships, or anything like that. The few she had had in her life were fairly long, lasting months...until the guy got annoyed at her for not wanting to have sex with him, or even make out. And then he usually ended it, and she was stuck feeling all heart broken for a few weeks. It was pretty much the circle of life. At least the circle of her life.
Where to go on a first date...Symphony didn't know. The classic choice would, of course, be dinner and then a movie, but that was just too cliche. In all reality she didn't care in the least. Anywhere with Jake would be great...okay, except McDonalds, she was hoping he wouldn't take her there on a date. Sure, eating lunch there would be fine, but an actual date there would just be...horrible. "It doesn't matter where it is to me..." she said, honestly, smiling a little bit. The very thought of a date with Jacob made her feel all happy and smiley inside. It was kind of embarrassing, but she didn't really care. "But, yes, let's go hang out." She agreed, standing up, and grabbing her half eaten salad. She did want to hang out with him alone...they could...do whatever couples did. Okay, not really whatever couples did...she wasn't ready for anything like that. But they could...talk? Or watch TV? Or something. She wasn't really sure. What were couples supposed to do?
She walked over to a trash bin and threw her salad away, before walking over to the door and looking back at Jake. "ready?" She asked, looking like the happiest girl on earth as she opened the door and walked out. of course she wasn't bouncing...no matter how happy she was she still walked just like she always did. In a slow kind of nervous way.
