Hey guys what up, I'm still here. sorry for the long update but last week I had nothing but writers block, maybe y'all can tell in the start of this fanfic heh. I swear nothing was fitting together but anyway, here is chapter 14. heh hope y'all enjoy it.
Lincoln had jumped from his sleep, causing him to wake up, sitting up he ran a hand though his hair as he looked down at his necklace, causing him to let out a sigh and looked at his phone, seeing it was only 5 in the morning.
Lincoln laughed under his breathe as he decided to just stay up, not seeing any point in just getting a hour worth of sleep only to be woke up again, getting out of bed and reaching under the bed, trying to find something, he kept feeling around but stopped once his hand had bumped against it, grabbing it he had pulled out a very old guitar that Luna had gave to him a long time ago, it was a simple brown guitar, nothing really special about it, in fact it was the other way around.
The neck was broken, the body had cracks and chips on it, Lincoln had sighed and turned on his light's and went to his deck, looking for his super glue "here we go" he said quietly as he had found a small bottle of super glue he had hidden away.
Grabbing his phone and headphones he had started to listen to music while he started to repair th... his broken guitar.
Lincoln had lost track of time as his alarm had suddenly went off, causing him to jump, almost falling out of his seat, he grabbed his chest to calm his fast beating heart.
Lincoln had turned off his alarm and look down at his work, he was able to repair the neck to the best of his ability, and a few of the chips but that was about it; he gave a small smile and gotten up, getting dressed before he had left, going downstairs "I'm walking" Lincoln called out, making sure he did a quick check to see if he had forgotten anything and glad he had everything before he walked out, leaving for school.
Lincoln was walking down the streets before pulling out his phone to send tabby a good morning message
"Morning tabby" he sent her and put his phone away, continuing to walk to school.
Lincoln had made it to school and went to his locker, opening it, he had gotten all his stuff for class before closing it and went to class instead of waiting around or even talking to other people.
Lincoln sat down at his desk and pulled out his phone, hoping to see if tabby had message him back, sadly, No.
He sighed and put his phone away as he really wanted to talked to her, not about anything important just random stuff like always, he had stared out of the window, letting his mind wonder.
Class was a blur for Lincoln as everything had went by so fast, he couldn't even tell if Mrs. Johnson had even said good morning or not, his memory was so foggy but he guess it didn't matter since that mean he could go see tabby now.
Lincoln had walked down the band hallway, expecting to see tabby but instead the band teacher was standing in the hallway instead, confused Lincoln had walked up to him "hey" Lincoln said getting his attention.
The band teacher had looked at him and gave a small smile "hello Lincoln"
"Is something wrong?" Lincoln asked as he had sense something was wrong.
He sighed and ran his hand though his hair "I don't think it would be best for you to be here today, tabby is not in the mood to see anyone" he said making Lincoln eyes widened.
"Tabby here? What going on, what wrong with her?" He asked worried.
The teacher sighed and moved out of the way "you can see for yourself but be careful" he said and Lincoln had quickly went in the band room.
Lincoln had looked around and saw tabby sitting down with her head down and her hands though her hand, he had walked in front of her and clear his throat, making her look at him and his eyes widened as he could tell she been crying "tabby what wrong" he asked.
Tabby had shook her head and looked back down "I don't want to talk about it" she said quietly.
Lincoln had stepped up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder "tabby plea-" he started but tabby had cut him off
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" tabby yelled looking at him, angrily.
Lincoln had jumped back, scared as he had looked at tabby wide eyed.
Tabby eyes widened eye's as she looked at Lincoln and held back tears "L-lincoln I'm so sorry" she said quietly as she had looked down, rubbing her eyes, fighting back tears.
Lincoln had hardened his nerve and went to tabby and hugged her tightly, expect her to push him away but instead she had immediately hugged him back, crying on his shoulder, he could feel her shaking.
Lincoln had started to rub her back as she continued to cry, after Lincoln had felt her stop shaking he has pulled back and looked at her, using his thumb to wipe her tears "tabby..." Lincoln said quietly.
Tabby sighed and looked at Lincoln, shaking her head "I sorry Lincoln, maybe later" she said making him nod before she had looked down.
Lincoln had looked at her, biting his lips before a ideal pop into his head and he had walk away from her.
Tabby held back tears as she felt Lincoln let go and had walked away from her, deep down she had wanted to call out to him but she couldn't, she closed her eye's and let the feeling of misery wash was over her.
There was a few minutes of silence, for tabby those few minutes had felt like months of being alone and she couldn't take it anymore as a tear ran down her face.
The sound of a bass guitar filled the room causing tabby to look up, seeing Lincoln standing in front of her, a few feet away with a genuine smile on his face as he played a soft tune before he started to sing softly.
"Everything Stays - Rebecca Sugar"
Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it
Lying upside down.
When you finally find it
You'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter
When you turn it around.
Everything stays
Right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly
In little ways
When everything stays"
Lincoln had sang, walking up to tabby and knell down in front of her, looking her straight into her eye's, before he started to sing again.
"Let's go in the garden

Right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly

Lincoln had sang the same verse again before he stopped singing and just played the bass guitar, plucking at the notes as he had looked at tabby.
Tabby heart had swell up as she couldn't help but smile, blush, listened and watched as Lincoln play for her, she had looking back into his eyes, feeling the sense that everything would be okay.
Even though the song was so simple, it was so beautiful, Lincoln had slowly stopped playing as he had kept looking at tabby as he smiled at her, slowly standing up.
Tabby had smiled happily at him before she had tackle him in a tight hug, squeezing him tightly, laughing.
Lincoln had smiled back and hugged her, happy that she was happy again.
Tabby had pulled back, smiling "that was beautiful, mate. Thank you" she said as Lincoln had smiled and rub the back of his head.
"It was no problem, tabby. I'm just glad you are happy" he told her, making her blush gently.
Lincoln had smiled and walked away, going to put the bass guitar back where he had gotten it from, once he did he had went back to tabby, smiling.
"Great job there, Lincoln" the band teacher said walking up to them, cleaning his glasses "heh you remind me of myself when I was your age" he said laughing a little bit "and I hope you are feeling better tabby" he said making her nod
"You know it!" She said shooting the rock 'n' roll hand signs.
"Good and speaking of age... " he started as he walked to his desk, tabby and Lincoln had watched him grabbed the newspaper and walked back to them, showing them the newspaper articles he wanted them to see, both tabby and Lincoln had looked at it "the mall is throwing a talent show this week... ANYONE can join it, there no age limit. Heh interested" he asked and tabby had immediately nodded her head
"Yes! Sign me up for this!" Tabby said excited while Lincoln was a bit nervous.
"I-im not sure" he said unsure about it, tabby had turned him to face her
"Lincoln please!" Tabby begged him "You will win l, hands down. No one will stand a chance well... Other than me" she said giving him a sly smirk.
Lincoln had sighed and gave a small smile "I... I will think about it" he said making tabby smile and hug him tightly.
"The bell is about to ring, so go ahead and head to your next class" the teacher said making tabby and Lincoln break their hug, nodding
"Alright, dude" tabby smiled and left with Lincoln following behind her.
Lincoln and tabby was walking thought the hallways together, not really talking, just enjoying each other company.
"Single" Lincoln had said out of nowhere, causing tabby to look at him confused, Lincoln had took a deep breath "awhile back you had asked me if I was seeing anyone, well. I'm not" he said shyly.
Tabby had blushed, feeling extremely excited but she also wondered "...what happened to the person you was seeing" she asked making Lincoln sigh and shake his head "never mind, you don't have to answer that" she said seeing how sad he had suddenly seem
"...I wasn't enough for her... So she... You know" he said making tabby eyes widened at the news "but it fine, I don't care about her anyone, we are done" he told her.
Tabby had mixed feelings about what she heard; part of her was happy that Lincoln was free to date but another part of her was extremely sad "Lincoln... I'm sorry" she said not knowing why that person would cheat on him, sure he wasn't ripped but so what, some girls don't like guys like that.
Lincoln smiled at her and shook his head "I was bound to find out sooner or later" he said calmly before the bell ring causing them to look up "heh I guess I will see ya later" he said making her nod before she had hugged him, shocking him.
"Thank you for earlier" she said as she pulled back and left for class, Lincoln had smiled and blushed, going to his class.
The rest of the school day had went by pretty normally, Lincoln had listened, did his work, tried not to get in trouble for anything. It was just a normal school day, the bell had rang and everyone had left to go home.
Lincoln had went to his locker and it had suddenly hit him that he haven't seen Ronnie Ann at all today, he shrugged not really caring and put away his school stuff before walking out of the school, though the front doors, seeing many other students either waiting for someone to pick them up or walking home but there was one student that stood out from the rest.
Lincoln smiled and walked up to tabby "hey tabby" he said once he was talking distance from her without having to rise his voice.
Tabby turned around to face him "mate!" She said and hugged him, making him blush a bit before pulling back, "come on it time to go!" She said excited as she grabbed Lincoln hands and pulled him towards the front where the car's was at.
"Tabby where we going" Lincoln asked confused, wondering what was going on as tabby stopped in front of a car, Lincoln had looked at it, than at the driver seeing Sam and Luna
"Sam and Luna are here to take us home" she said as she quickly gotten in the backseat with Lincoln getting in as well "but first to the mall" she quickly added in before Sam had took off.
