Wicked Times, chapter 15
Adie smiled. I gasped. I thought I would get this long spill on why I shouldn't get married to Brook. I sighed with relief. Adie said, "Sounds like Billie and me."
I smiled at her and asked "Do you approve?"
She smiled back at me and said "Of course I do!"
I looked at Brook. The boys were standing there like they were frozen. I hugged Brook again. I yelled, "Yay!"

It was months later, after the guys got home from touring.
I've had my hands shoved in my pockets or out of sight for days. Thanks to Joey and Jakob, who had kept the secret a secret. They even warned me when one of the guys were coming near me. I had planned to tell Billie, Tre, and Mike tonight.
That night I got all the guys downstairs sitting on the couch.
The boys were sitting on top of Tre and their dad, Billie. Brook wasn't there because he had to go to an audition for a spot as a bassist for some local band. I was so mad at him. I was stressed already, he just made it all worse.
I had no one to back me up if one of the guys 'exploded'. I had hoped the guys, meaning Billie, Tre, and Mike wouldn't get furious. Adie agreed on backing me up. Brook promised he'd call that night, as soon as he could, to find out how things went with the band.
