One Girl's Fantasy...And Many Other's Dream, chapter 4
It was a month since my dad had come and picked me up.
I was at the recording studio when the news came that is going to set the plot for this story.
I was sitting outside the recording studio in a slightly overstuffed and and uncomfortable chair, when my dad came out with a big grin on his face.
"Guess what?" He said, grinning from ear to ear.
"What? Tre' completly ruiend a drum set agian?"
"Well, yeah, but thats definatley not what I'm happy about."
"Then what are you happy about?"
"Were going on a world tour!" He half screamed, half yelled, almost jumping off the ground.
I was expecting good news, but that wasn't good news. Well, it was for the band, but not for me, because I wouldn't be seeing my dad for a long time.
"Oh." I said half-heartedly, looking down at my black and red converse.
"What's wrong?"he asked, sitting down in the chair beside me, and looking at me.
"Well, that's great news." I said, looking him straight in the eye, then looking the other way.
"And?" He asked, putting his hand on mine.
"Well, I just met you, and now your going away on tour. But I guess I can stay home and play with Jakob and Joey."
"Oh." He said, his voice sagging.I looked over at him, and he looked really sad. Then he looked at me with the same expression, but then his face lit up, and his sad expression was replaced by a happy one.
"What?"I asked him, once I saw this.
"Come on!" he said, getting up.
"What?"I asked once I got up.
"Just come on!" He said before he poked his head in, and mumbiling something to whoever was in the room.
"I'm gonna take you home." He said, once we had gotten to his car after going down te elavator.He saw the confused expression on my face, and immediatly said,
"You'll see."
Once we got to my house, Billie parked his car in the driveway and came inside with me.
"Mom! I'm home!"
"Hey Kirst!... Oh, hey Billie."
"Hey." He said, looking at her with a smug grin on his face.
"WHat are you so happy about?"
"You'll see. Kirstin. Go upstairs and gather your clothes.
I had no clue in the world where this was going.
***
I had gathered most of my clothes and packed them in a couple of suitcases along with my alarmclock, toothbrush, posters, pictures,CD's,and thing of that sort.Hey! He said to gather all of my clothes, so I must be going somewherefor a while. Then it hit me.
[i]How dumb am I?[i] I thought.
I ran downstairs and saw my mom and dad sitting at the kitchen table, talking.
"Hey!" I said, dropping my suitcases wich were becoming way too heavy.
"Where am I going?" I said, although I knew exactly where I was going.
"Well..." Billie said, turning around and looking at me, while my mom looked at him.
"WELL..." I said, sticking my head out a bit.
"You, My dear, are going on the American Idiot World tour!" He said, getting out of his chair and hugging me really tight.
"God you're strong for a midget!" I said laughing.
He immeaditaly dropped me. Luckily, I landed on my feet.
"Who you callin a midget? You're only as tall as me!"
"Yes, but I'm still growing. You? Not so much." He just smirked at me and grabbed my bags and walked out the door.
My mom came over to me and gave me a huge hug.
"God I'm gonna miss you so much." She said, setteling her head into the top of my head, and stroking my hair.
"Same here, mom." I said, starting to cry. I wasn't going to see her for another year and a half, so I better make the best of it.
She gave me a kiss on the cheek, and I gave her one back. She started to cry, so I started to dry even harder, and I heard Billie get in his car.
***
After saying our goodbyes, I left with my dad.
"You have a laptop, right?" I asked, looking at him.
"Yeah, why? He said, concentrating on the road.
"Cause my mom said that if I didn't email her every night, that she would hunt us both down.
"He just chuckeled.
We pulled up to Billie's house, and went inside.
"Hey Jakob." I said, whn I saw him sitting in the middle of the floor watching TV.
"Hi!" He said, turning his attention from the TV for just a split second to say that.
"Hey dad." he said once Billie came into the house."Whats with all of the stuff?"
"Well, Kirstin's gonna be staying with us for a while. Remember that spare room that we had those people com in and redo? Thats her room now."
I just stood there confused, untill he led me up the stairs to a room with a black door that said "Kirstin's room" in white sparkly letters. Billie opened the door and I stood there in awe. The room was beautiful! He must've really been listening when I was telling him all of the bands that I liked and all of my hobbies.
