Ch. 4

Mia is woken up at 3 by her cell phone. "Hello?" She slurred into the earpiece. "Mia? Mia? Something is wrong with Lars. He's very hot and screams his heart out. ”Mia immediately sits horizontally in bed. "Selina? How long has it been going on? “, Selina is 15 and her little Lars is 11 months old. "Since two hours. What should I do? “, Mia has already put on jeans and is hobbling into the bathroom. “Go to the hospital. To the emergency room. I'll be there in half an hour. ”She doesn't wait for the answer, but hangs up straight away. Brushes her teeth, runs her hands through her hair and grabs her car keys.

Still half in her pajamas, she whizzes on the Autobahn like a madman. In the hospital she can hear Lars from afar. "Selina! When will it be your turn? “, The girl is desperate. Her eyes are rimmed red and she rocks Lars on her hips, but the little one doesn't stop yelling. “There are still 3 ahead of us.”, Her voice breaks. "Come give me Lars! Get yourself something to drink or go out into the fresh air. ”She gratefully hands her the baby.

They are finally being called. The doctor notices that Lars' teeth are growing and his throat is slightly red. He prescribes bed rest and a juice to reduce the pain.

Mia stays in the home with Selina until 8 a.m. and helps her with Lars. "Thank you! Thanks for coming. I was completely desperate ... "" No problem, that's why you have my number! "

Jack has a date with Hannah and Summer today. Both do not yet know that they will only leave in the evening. That's why he's now on his way to get all kinds of delicacies from the bakery.

Before he can get into his car, however, he sees someone staggering towards him. Alarmed, he runs towards the person and recognizes Mia. "Mia? What are you doing here? Are you okay? ”“ At 3, Selina called me. Your little one hasn't stopped screaming. I'm with her in the hospital. ”, Her eyes close and her head looks for a place on his shoulder. “You were in the hospital all night? Are you okay with the little rascal? ”“ Pneumonia and teeth are growing, ”she mumbled. "The poor! This is a damn mix of hell that he chose. Come on, I'll take you to the others. ", Arm in arm they enter the house. None of the women is downstairs yet. Jack lets Mia sink onto the couch. But when he tries to get up again, she reaches for his arm, already half asleep. A dreamy smile lies on her lips. "I like you Jack!", She almost purrs and snuggles up to his arm. Carefully and with a gigantic grin, he frees himself from his grip. She likes him! Really! Not just faked. At the beginning she didn't want any of that.

He returns to his car exhilarated and fetches donuts, raspberry cakes and nut rolls. Everything your heart desires to wake up in the morning. They get bread rolls delivered to them, he doesn't have to worry about them.

At 10 o'clock he rings the doorbell and waits for someone to open it. It's Summer who comes towards him beaming with joy. “Shall I take something from you?” She points to the bags. "No thanks. Alright. “, He runs into the kitchen behind her swaying hips. There he meets Hannah, sipping coffee. Her curls stand out in all directions. "Sorry, I overslept!", She smiles softly and her dark eyes are soothing. "Never mind. We're going away together tonight. "The two of them 's eyes dim for a moment, then something seems to occur to them and a synchronous:" Okay! "

They move into the living room by mutual agreement. Everyone else is there. Mia is surrounded. You try to wake them up, but the only thing they can do is that they are grumbled at.

“ Good morning!” Suddenly there is activity. The women position themselves so that Mia is impossible to see. "Tomorrow. When does it start for you? “, Sophia looks at them, completely innocent. "Not until tonight!", The faces all fall down. “Where's Mia anyway?” He enjoys making her fidget. But unfortunately they are mumbled by someone: “Yeah, yeah?”, Relieved. They are slowly making room. Mia has sat up and covers her eyes with one hand. “Hell!” She moans, her black hair more tousled than it was an hour ago.

" How are you?", A smile spreads over her face, her eyes closed again. "Still tired." "Ready to make the jump into your room?" Her cheeks turn pink. Then she groans. “I didn't dream that ?, one of her green eyes looks at him briefly. "No, you really almost fell asleep while standing when you came towards me." Her cheeks turn red. She is probably wondering if she has already dreamed on the couch or if she really was clinging. "OK! I'll go to sleep then. ", She waves half-heartedly to the women and turns towards the stairs. Sophia hurries after her.

Everyone stared at him in confusion. “I wanted to go to the bakery and I went there too, but before that she staggered up the driveway. There was an emergency with one of her friends. Tonight at 3 am she left for the hospital. Everything is okay, the child is doing reasonably well. “, Jack makes it sound like Mia in the zoo.

" At 3 o'clock? So I need my beauty sleep! ", Emilia rushes. “I think it's great that she is always there for those she loves. Regardless of when and how long the distance between them is, ”Aria argues. Usually she is silent and holds back. But she seems to get along with Mia. To escape the strange silence that follows, Jack calls everyone into the kitchen for breakfast. There they find Finn, who is stuffing half of a Berliner in his mouth. "Morffen!"

He gets laughter for that. It is eaten and talked about. Here and there someone cracks a joke. Now Jack feels really good. He likes women. Hopefully you like him too.

Sophia comes down and joins them smiling. "All right?" Asks Finn, who doesn't know anything about the morning adventure. Which is changed immediately.

He feels his friend watching him and avoids his gaze.

Midday is sluggish. Some watch TV, others swim. He himself participates every time. Mia comes down in the afternoon. She lounges over to the television. Just look Mamma Mia! Which actually interests him less. Even so, he sits next to Mia for the rest of the time. Her thighs or arms accidentally touch. For a moment he feels her head on his shoulder. It's a bit of the teenage years when you weren't sure what the other thought about you and tried little advances to find out.

In the evening he asks Hannah and Summer to get dressed for a pub. They still have no idea that it is a karaoke bar. He's looking forward to their faces. It is important to him how you react to it.

Hannah has pinned up her auburn locks and is wearing skinny jeans with a simple light blue shirt. This brings out your hair color even better.

Summer has straightened her hair and is wearing it open. She also wears a shimmering top and black jeans.

Both are beauties. They take him in their midst and hook up with him. The three of them say goodbye.

Max follows them closely. In the bar they first order their drinks. Beer for him and Sex on the Beach for Hannah and passion fruit wheat for Summer. Then they discover the folder in the middle of the table. Curiously, they open it and read: “Karaoke!”, Summer laughs delightedly and Hannah's eyes widen. Enthusiastic, Summer flips through the pages and finds it. She writes a note and gives it to the waitress. "And?", Jack wants to know what she has decided. “I don't say!” She grins. "What about you Hannah?" "I can't sing." "Do you think I can?", He looks seriously into her eyes. “No, I can't, but when I choose a song you sing one too. Agreed? “, After endless minutes he cooked it soft. She doesn't reveal her song either. Jack chooses ... we'll see. “You support me ?, the women nod. “On stage too?” He leaves you no other choice. "Thank you! I knew it. ”Jack laughs. He loves to let go and to make a monkey from time to time. It's just part of life.

During the first songs that are sung, there is still silence. At some point, Jack starts singing along or shouting. Summer comes in first and gradually the whole bar. The mood rises. Hannah's lips move with them and he is sure that she is also singing, but with the noise level he cannot be sure. The evening progresses and the level of the guests drops. They are more relaxed and maybe a bit uninhibited.

“ Next we hear Summer Paradise from, ah, how fitting, Summer!” Jack laughs and Summer goes on stage to applause.

" Take me back, take me back ... Back to Summer paradise!", She sings passably with shining eyes that encourage participation. Summer feels comfortable up there, but she is not ashamed of her crooked tones, which nobody notices anyway, distracted by her charisma. There is thunderous applause. She comes back beaming.

“ Now we're hearing wild ones from Hannah!”, She turns red and almost creeps forward.

" Hey I heard you are a wild one Oooh!", She begins very timidly. Then in the chorus it seems to explode. "I like crazy, foolish, stupid / party going wild, fist bumping / music I might lose it!" Above all, she sings really REALLY good. Not a crooked tone.

The crowd rages. She comes back flushed with exertion. "I took a professional's guess." I wasn't that good. ”, But he sees that she is happy about his compliment.

" I greet Jack on stage with There she goes!", Jack pulls the two of them onto the stage.

“ There she goes looking like a star!” Summer runs in front of him. "With her body shaped like a rock guitar!", Summer sways her hips again. "There she goes like a shooting star!", This time Hannah walks past him with a broad grin and shows off a few poses. The audience whistles enthusiastically. "Make you wanna play ... Makes all the boys them say!", Summer and Hannah go along with every crap and Jack interrupts once in the middle of the chorus because he can't suppress his laughter. The amount of beer slowly rises in his head! At the end of the song he stumbles over to Summer and gives her a peck ... on the mouth. Then he goes to Hannah and gives her a kiss too. Hannah hiccups and giggles.

They are brought back to the table by a waitress. "So you part!", Hannah giggles and Summer is suddenly very quiet. "Everything okeeeeei?", Then she turns red. She has never blushed just because he spoke to her. “That's what alcohol does to me. I'm becoming a very shy thing. ”, She has those huge eyes that look so incredibly cute. "Süüüüüß!" Alcohol makes a chatterbox out of him. Everything he thinks is said. "Nice!" He points to Summers lips. Again she turns red. Just to test what happens to her complexion when he kisses her, he leans over and just does. A passionate kiss clouded by alcohol. He feels that Summers face starts to burn. She also gave a strange squeak. But not a serious protest noise. So he shoves his tongue into her mouth. "Mmmh!", He doesn't know how long they snogged, but suddenly someone sounds like: "Hey!", Hannah feels neglected. He breaks away from Summer and gives Hannah a chaste kiss. She draws a curse until the next one starts singing and she goes dancing. Wild, she dances wildly. With every man who comes to meet her.

Sometime after Hannah has made someone crazy with circling hips and Summer has made himself comfortable on his lap to sleep, someone taps him on the shoulder. Max. "Maybe you should make your way home. It's already after 4 in the morning! "Suddenly a face comes before his eyes. Long black hair, bright green eyes, shorter than him. Your head is right on his heart. A lovely angel.

" Home!" He repeats, confused. "Yes, back to the villa!", Jack nods dazedly and wakes the blonde-haired girl in his arms. Max quickly collects Hannah.

On the way he got a name 'Mia'. His head doesn't work anymore and Jack gives up trying to find out why he was thinking of a Mia.
