“The Diary of Rachel Armstrong….”, chapter 1
June 27, 2006
Today Dad told us that he was going to have to leave for Hollywood in a week for casting of the "American Idiot" Movie! I'm excited cause Dad says I get to come with him!!
Mom doesn't approve but knowing Dad he'll talk to her to let me go! Hollywood, it's gonna be great and I can NOT wait 'till the 3rd that's when we leave! Talk to you later! Hearts.
...Rae...
"Please Mommy, PLEASE!!! Can I go... .?" I said begging my mom.
"No...it's Hollywood and your Dad is going to be busy the whole time so he won't have a lot of time for you. You're probably going to sit in the Hotel a lot of the time." Mom answered.
"Yeah, but Dad is going to get a room in a fancy hotel. There will be a pool, and room service. So being in the Hotel will be just as fun. And Dad already said that Uncle Mike is bringing Brittney, and Uncle Tre is bringing Frankie. We're good friends, we can hang out together!" I told her.
"Well... ..I don't know... are you sure that Mike and Tre are bringing Brittney and Frankie?" she said unsurely.
"Yes, Dad talked to them. You can even ask him!" I said almost yelling.
"Uh... well... Let me ask your dad and see what he says. Then we'll talk about it." She said.
Mom walked out of the room. I stood there in the kitchen, rummaging through the refrigerator. In the other room I heard Mom talking to Dad.
"Are you sure that Tre and Mike are bringing Brittnry and Frankie, Billie?" Mom said.
"Yes, they told me. Come on sweetie. Rachel would have a good time and then you could have some bonding time with Jakob and Joseph. It will be good for Rachel to get out. She seems depressed now a days and I thought this would cheer her up." I heard dad say. I love how he is always on my defense. I picked up an ice pop from the freezer, when mom and dad walked in.
"Rachel," I looked up from the assortment of ice pops. "Your father and I have talked and we have decided that... " Mom looked a Dad. Dad nudged her in the side. " ...we decided that we will be letting you go to Hollywood with your father." She finished.
"Really!" I said. "You mean it?" I ran over and hugged Mom and Dad at the same time. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!" I ran to my room, and started packing. When the phone rang.
"Hello?" I said in to the receiver.
"Hey, is your Dad there?" The voice said.
"Sure hold on." I said back "DAD TELEPHONE, GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE AND GET IT CAUSE I'M NOT COMING DOWN!" I screamed downstairs.
"HOLD ON!" he screamed back.
"One second... " I said into the phone. Dad walked up stairs into my room.
"You really shouldn't talk to me like that after what I just did for you," He said
"Sorry, I'm tired and a lazy ass," I said back with a smile. I handed him the phone. "It's Tre," I said.
"Thanks." He said walking out.
I heard a "Hey Tre" come from down the hall. I couldn't stop thinking of the 3rd.
"Thank you!" I said randomly, and fell on my bed. "This is gonna be so fun!" I said quietly and started to doze off.
