chapter seven: I-House-Of-Broken-Feet

wow, i thought as i sat up with a sleeping mask over my eyes. some dream.
i took the mask of and stared in awe at my surroundings. huh?! it wasn't a dream. hm.
i pulled the cutain of my bunk away and saw vanessa reading 'breaking dawn' in her bunk.
"you're up!" she called.
"she's up?" i heard tom say. "hey, danny, she's up."
i heard laughing and then some gunshots. i looked down and i was still in my pajamas. well, of course i was sill in my pajamas.
i hopped out of my bunk and smoothed my hair. i looked around and danny and dougie were on the floor, playing xbox. call of duty four. figures.
i wiped my eyes and then patted my hair again. wow, i was so frazzled. "hey guys." i was hungry. i patted my stomach. "what are we having for breakfast?"
"we're making a quick stop at iHOP. sound good?" kathryn came out of the bathroom, and put her makeup bag in her suitcase, after putting a quick swipe of blush on her cheeks.
"i guess. you're dressed already?" i thought, hm, i must have been sleeping for some time. "what time is it?"
"9:56, babe." vanessa was already dressed too. and isabelle. harry and tom were dressed also.
"oh." i walked over to my suitcase and bent down, picking up a purple long-sleeved shirt, and flare jeans.
i got dressed quickly in the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair, not bearing to look in the mirror
kathryn was now sitting on the couch with isabelle, hanging over my laptop. i creeped in front of them as they laughed at something on the screen, and then i snatched it away from them.
"what are you doing with my laptop?" i turned it around and they were looking at a 'fred' video on youtube.
i sighed. "you guys know that this is stupid, right?"
"yeah," kathryn took in a deep breath, "but it's still funny sometimes."
"we're here!" the driver, selena, called.
"thanks sel," dougie hopped off the bus and then helped vanessa off. "i'm hungry."
"me too!" danny jumped off the bus and i pushed him out of the way playfully so i could get off. he put his arms around my waist and held me in a fireman's hold while i struggled and laughed. when we got to the door he let me down and i ran inside saying, "land! land!"
kathryn, tom, isabelle, and harry came in after us. they were all laughing at danny's stunt, and i rolled my eyes.
"you know it wasn't that funny." i wiped a fake tear away.
"aww, c'mon, sit down." danny pulled the chair out for me and i sat down.
"oh well, i'm defeated." i sat in it and vanessa laughed. "i guess i'll have to be a good girl now." i sighed dramatically.
"you better be."
a waitor came over and put some menus by our places. we all ordered and talked about our concert until the food came. we ate quickly and then hurried back to the car. the boys were supposed to be at the hotel by 11:00, and then at the arena by 12:00.
it was 10:53.
"we're not going to make it..." i said as we got on.
"oh, shut up, yes we will." vanessa sat on the couch and turned on the tv. i sat next to her. we all got on, and then we started driving. isabelle said, "harry," as soon as we started moving and then there was a bump from the front tire. then we heard harry scream.
"crap!" selena opened the door and harry struggled to get in. "help!" he said weekly, "she ran over my foot."
"aw, man!" dougie sat on the floor. "where're we gonna find another drummer?"
tom sighed and helped danny carry harry on. "don't worry about that now. get us to a hospital please, sel."
"i'm really sorry-"
"it's not your fault, sel, it's mine."
"what?!" we all turned to look at harry and isabelle. "how can it be your fault?!" isabelle pointed to his foot. "she ran over your foot!"
selena looked really ashamed. "i'm sor-"
"i know, i know." i got up so harry could sit down, and kathryn called robert on tom's cell phone. "i didn't tell anybody i went to the bathroom, did i?"
"no," we all answered in unison.
"well, next time we'll have to account everybody, then." i smiled at harry. "harry, are you sure you're alright?"
"yes, veronica, i'm fine, thank you. it hurts like hell, i probably won't be able to do the show tonight, but whatever. isabelle's a drummer."
she blushed.
"looks like i'll be drumming my first show tonight." she smiled a little. "you'll have to teach me the rythm though."
we all were silent as we drove to the hospital.
looks like she will be drumming tonight, i sighed.

chapter six: the bus & chinese food.

we finished the concert, and the boys took a shower. {man, they smelled!} we walked over to the tour bus debating on what dinner we should have. dougie and vanessa weren't listening.
i rolled my eyes as i got on the tour bus.
"no, dougie, it's NOT okay to have pizza every time you go out, you'll get a pizza face!" vanessa and dougie were fighting about what was okay to eat every day and what not to eat. we had all voted for chinese food, but they were objecting. vanessa said sushi, and dougie, of course, said pizza.
as i got on the bus, danny had whispered in front of me to the driver, "make a stop by panda express please." then he helped me up.
i was tired. i considered sitting on danny's lap, but i thought that ment i was desperate. he montioned for me to sit beside him on the small couch facing the tv, and then he turned on the tv.
"whaddya' wanna watch?" danny flipped through the guide, not really listening.
"i really, really, don't care. you pick." i sighed and picked up a pillow. i put it in my lap and traced my finger on the delicate sewing of the design.
he turned on pee wee's big circus and i giggled. "you really want to watch this?" i said lightly.
"come on, you've gotta love him, with his... strageness," danny made a face which made me giggle more. i closed my eyes and leaned on danny's shoulder.
"tired much?" he asked. i smiled, and that was an enough answer.
a few minutes later, he tapped me on the shoulder. "what do you want from panda express?" he whispered in my ear. he had a pen and paper and, i assumed, was writing down people's orders.
"um," i sat up and opened my eyes. "some... orange chicken, potato chicken, sweet & sour chicken and an eggroll."
"hungry?" he smiled, and from where i could see, kathryn was frowning. she hated meat. she was a vegetarian.
"oh, yeah, and a chicked potsticker please!" i yelled as danny walked towards the driver with pen and paper.
a minute after watching the storm on pee wee's circus movie, i smelled yummy chicken and such.
"ew," kathryn pulled her shirt over her nose and i rolled my eyes.
danny set down a few bags with the panda expres logo on it and then he carefully opened then and got some forks from a drawer next to the mini fridge. he set them on the coffee table and said, "gather round." he held up the forks like a septer. he opened the boxes of chicken and such, then passed the forks to everybody. i was last, but i didn't mind. i guess we were just eating out of the canesters. i exchanged glances with kathryn, and we shrugged and dug in.
the manager and a few other bodyguards were on a different bus, but paul was on ours, and he was sleeping on the foldout couch.
i had some different kinds of chicken, an eggroll, and a potsticker, but then i was okay. i decided to change for bed.
"i'll go after you," isabelle headed toward her suitcase.
"you guys can shower in the morning at our hotel. we'll have a nicer place than this." harry smiled at the thought.
"hopefully with nicer beds." tom also smiled at his own words. then they laughed at some joke that they shared.
i took some clothes and headed into the tiny bathroom. i pulled off my clothes and forced on a tank top and sweats. a also put on a sweater over that, which i would take off before sleeping.
"alrighty then." i brushed my teeth, went to the bathroom and i put my dirty clothing in a compartment in my suitcase when i got out, then i walked back over to the couch. danny and dougie were sitting on it, but there was a space between them. i sat in it.
vanessa, harry, tom, and kathryn were playing cards on the floor, and now shrek was on the tv.
"hey," dougie said, his eyes glued on the tv. "what should we do tomorrow?" then he glanced at me and danny.
"i dunno. what is there to do in tennesee?" danny yawned.
"that," i said, and pointed to his yawn. he laughed. "ur, we could go shopping?"
"i guess." danny smiled. he winked at me. "you know..." he smiled even wider and put his feet up on the now clean table. "we are going to the AMA's this year."
i gasped. "no way..."
"what?" vanessa, kathryn, and isabelle (who had just walked over in polka dot pajamas) all said in unison.
"we're going to the AMAs!" they all gasped and looked at me.
"no WAYY!" they squealed and then air-clapped.
"yep," danny put his arm around me and i snuggled in.
"cool," isabelle sat down and yawned. "i think i'm going to bed." i glanced at clock on the dvd player. 1:30?! how long did they expect me to stay up?
"yeah, me too!" i got up and danny stood up with me.
"yeah i think i'll get my pj's on," danny walked over to his bunk and took some clothes out of his cabinet and walked toward the tiny bathroom.
"i'll go after him," kathryn said.
"after kathryn," vanessa said.
"i'll go after vanessa." dougie said, still watching the movie.
"yeah, then me." harry sighed. he glanced at the movie, then kept playing.
"i already have my pajama's on." tom pointed at his wicked sweatshirt and flannel a&f pants.
harry and dougie made a big show of rolling their eyes but tom didn't notice.
i got up and walked over to my bunk. danny came out of the bathroom and kissed my head. "good night." i blushed. he got into his bunk and i got into mine.
nobody seemed to have noticed, but then kathryn glanced over and walked by her bunk, under vanessa's. she got some purple pj's and walked into the bathroom.
i turned on the tv and flipped throught the channels. i decided on disney channel, even though i was a little old for it. i took the headphones and listened in.
after an episode, everyone was getting into their beds. vanessa was adjusting something in her suitcase and dougie was flipping through a magazine, entertinment weekly. it looked as if he was waiting for her. harry and tom went into their bunks, and closed their curtains. isabelle's was closed and so was kathryn's. danny's too.
i was about to close mine when vanessa started to climb her ladder. dougie got up and ran over to her. "vanessa, wait." he pulled her down and kissed her. i gasped silently. "good night," he said, and he hopped into his bunk.
vanessa stood there for a minute, looked at me. she smiled and then got into her bunk and closed the curtain. since the lightswitch was next to my bunk, i turned off the light and closed my curtain. there was a dimmer switch on the bunk, so i dimmed it slightly, and turned off the tv.
i thought about the day while i fell into a deep sleep.

chapter five:: the concert

i heard "senorita" by justin timberlake playing on kathryn's ipod while we waited backstage. i rolled my eyes.
"kathryn?" she took out her earphones. "we're at a mcfly concert."
"yeah... and?" she stuck the earphones back in her ears and clicked "play" on her iphone.
then i felt somebody's hands on my shoulders. i turned around to face him. danny.
"hi."
"hey. you excited?" he had genuine excitment in his eyes. "i'm pumped."
"so am i!!!!" dougie exclaimed, running down the hallway. apperantly his microphone was already on, beacause girls in the audience were screaming.
we were next to the curtains, not to far from the stage, standing next to the equiptment.
the boys were wearing normal guy clothes, i guess it was easy to "rock" that way.
it was around 6:45 and like i said earlier, the show started at 7:oo. yeep, so close. they had no starter band, just mcfly songs playing in the backround.
god, i was excited, more than you know. i've only seen videos of them playing live, and even that's not at least anywhere compared to THIS.
not only was i on tour with them, i could be on stage with them.
"what's, um, your first song?" isabelle, who was nervous, i guessed, looked at the ground and waited for an answer. she was the most shy at times, but i can control what i look like on the outside. acting.
"i think it's lies." harry, scratched his head and smiled slightly.
"you think?!" tom exclaimed.
"ummm, i know?" harry thought some more.
"you DO know!" tom was smiling, he was joking. we all laughed.
dougie said, "you know that we get pretty soggy after a show, right?"
we laughed again. "uh, yeah, doug!" kathryn laughed the hardest, and then she snorted which made us laugh more.
we saw rob walking toward us. "we're starding a couple minute early today."
"ooh, yay! free pizza!" dougie exclaimed. kathryn, isabelle, vanessa and i exchanged confused looks.
"whenever we start early or end early, i buy them food after the show," rob explained. "but doug, we have pizza everytime, let's let the girls pick."
"fine with me, what do you guys want?" dougie looked like he hoped it was pizza.
"let's wait until the end," i said. i just had food, and plus, i was nervous, so i didn't want to throw up on stage.
"well then, i'll go start this." rob walked out and people screamed. i was sure there were british people in the audience. people screamed when rob walked out.
"i'm proud to present mcfly!" he walked off, and when we turned around harry, dougie, danny, and tom were gone.
somebody was coming up from under the stage, and just like from just my luck, it was harry.
i heard a buzz, and then tom, danny, and dougie came, and they all started to sing "lies." it was just like the movie, only a different song when they got on stage.
"okay, now as most of you know, we picked one girl out of many to go on the american tour with us. that girl happened to be veronica kellings, and her three friends are here with us." cheers. jitters. yeesh. danny smiled and continued. "tonight, we're going to let them be on stage with us."
i went out, and in the first or second row was the girl who was talking about me in the auditorium. i smiled at her and she looked discusted. her friend was with her.
we all walked toward our picks, me, danny, isabelle, harry, vanessa, dougie, and kathryn, tom. it seemed simple enough.
"we're going to play a love song now," cheers from the audience. tom smiled at kathryn, and the audience. "all about you. i'm sure you know it." kathryn nodded. and then they started playing.
while they were getting ready, danny covered his microphone and whispered, "you play guitar, right?" i nodded. "this song, you know it?" i nodded, i knew all of the mcfly songs on guitar, and piano. he thrust the acoustic guitar toward me, and then the music started. i shook my head and handed it toward him. he shook his head, and the violin part ended. i played.
danny deemed to be singing to me. i smiled and he mouthed, 'you're doing fine.' i concentrated on the playing. after the solo [i made like, one mistake on it.] the song ended quickly for me. "it's all about you..." danny smiled and he said, "give it up for veronica!" everyone cheered. i smiled, and before i knew it, his lips touched my cheek.
"good job," he whispered. "another song? do you know, scilence is a scary sound?" i shook my head vigorisly.
"wayy to hard." he laughed.
"how about... i've got you?" i nodded. that one was easy.
tom turned to the microphone. "how about scilence is a scry sound, doug?" screams.
"i could deal with that." more screams, louder. i smiled. i shouldn't bother danny with this one, it was hard.
after the song finished, vanessa turned to me. she was out of breath because we were dancing, and she said, "ohmygod, this is SO cool!"
i agreed.

chapter four:: pizza and a tourbus

after the guys left, which took a very long time, [they had to go to the arena to to get ready for the concert tonight]
we ordered room service and started to get ready. we had gone shopping yesterday, so we all had new clothes. coach also had a 50% off sale, so it was nice for us to all get new purses. i didn't want to bring a tote bag to the concert anyways.
i was going to wear a wetseal long-sleeved shirt with stars on it, [pink] black marc jacobs skinny jeans, a pink and grey scarf, my new coach handbag, black converse, and a black vest. [and i had my iphone] my hair is short, so it was down.
isabelle was wearing an abercrombie orange sweater [50% discount courtosy of moi and kathryn.], black dkny leggings, converse, and her new yello coach purse. [and she had her sidekick.] her hair was in a sidepony.
vanesa was wearing black hollister skinny jeans, a wetseal power rangers shirt, her black coach handbang, and black heels. she had put converse in her bag just in case. she had her hair in a high ponytail, and also had her trust blackberry in her bag.
kathryn wore a wetseal t-shirt with shudder shades on it, skinny jeans, her new purple coach bag, and her purple iphone. she also had her hair down, and was styling new purple converse.
we got our pizza and put our makeup on. we took the pizza downstairs while it was still hot, to eat it on mcfly's toubus [!!!] where their driver was picking us up. we would be alone in mcfly's tourbus. sweet. (not that we would look through their stuff or anything. ew.)
we got on, and saw that their were four sets of bunk beds. there were two new sets, and each one had out name engaved on the ceiling of it. they all had tv's in them, and their were large cabinets on either side of the beds. this made us squeal. of course, we'd be on the road tonight, so it'd be easier for us to sleep thisway.
"okay. danny just texted me with the schedule. after the concert, we're going back to our hotel to get our stuff, and then we're on the road!" i smilied. this was going to be fun. it was around 5:30, and the boys started at 7:00. we would have plenty of time.
we ate the pizza while we watched re-runs of gossip girl. i wasn't a big fan, but i liked the show. it was okay.
we got into the backway and heard a girl say, "but i'm veronica kellings!"
i froze. what?! we got out of the tourbus, and there was the same bodyguard from the hotel. the girl looked shocked when i saw her.
vanessa yelled, "you don't pretend to be my sister or friends!" we all yelled, "yeah!"
the bodyguard, aperrantly 'paul' from his nametag, said into his walkie talkie, "they're here."
the girls looked mad and sad as we walked in front of them.
i mumbled, "thanks," to paul as i walked in the door.
we walked down a long hallway, and then heard some faint music. it was... she falls asleep, and tom was just starting to sing. then i heard some girls yelling. people were already here of course.
we ran down the hallway where the music was coming from, and then we ran down another hallway we turned to. then we saw a large room with wooden floors, and a bunch of music device that i could never learn to use. then we saw mcfly's manager, and a few more people.
mcfly's manager, [now i remembered his name,] robert, came over and whispered, "hello, you are the girls. my name is robert, and i'll be taking care of you this whole time."
"thanks. i'm kathryn, this is isabelle, this is vanessa, and i believe you know veronica," kathryn introduced us all.
robert smiled. "yes i do, and sorry for the little mishap earlier," i smiled. at least he was nice about it. when i told my friends, they were laughing. "oh, by the way. you guys can call me bobby, but i don't care if you call me rob, robby, robert, or any other name that sounds like robert, i'm just here to help."
vanessa said, "well then, i'll think of a good name for you." he laughed.
"tom's just practicing right now, he just wanted to get the piano part right, and as always, danny doug and harry are screaming the lyrics for him," tom explained. "after this, it gets pretty hectic while the boys change and do makeup. danny and dougie asked if we could have you girls on the stage, and i said yes, if you wanted to."
we all smiled. "yes!" we all said it in unison.
"okay, well, then mcfly picked out a wardrobe for you if you guys wanted to change, but if you don't, those outfits are fine too." he turned to leave and then turned back. "i'll get penny the makeup artist to come and show you the selections."
we didn't want to change, so penny just put on our make-up. we weren't going to see mcfly until the show, and penny put up our hair and make-up so we looked like rockstars. rob asked a helper to take our bags to the show, and then we were ready. the auditorium was filling up fast, and i was excited for this.
it would be the first concert of many.

chapter three:: screaming girls

i smiled to myself as i got into the taxi. danny and dougie were talking, and harry and tom were talking. dougie said something (apparently funny) to danny and he punched his arm. danny trippped and almost fell over as he got into the car.
"sorry," he said. he gave dougie a look, but he was still smiling.
i was too. nervous-smiling. what if they're talking about me? i nervous-giggled, then slid over so that danny could sit next to me. harry was sitting in the front. the cab looked like a normal one, and the cab driver was a black man with a red yankees shirt on. he waited for everyone to get in, and then started the car. he didn't seem at all starstruck about mcfly. harry turned around to face me.
"so, i assume you got the email, and had to bring your friends." he smiled at me like someone who actually cared. i always thought that harry was the most sincere.
"uh, yes actually. we finshed college early, and we decided to come, because we're still looking for better jobs." i had a job as a intern (paying, thankfully) for abercrombie. i was shooting for a designer, but it didn't look like it was going to happen soon. kathryn was an intern with me, so it was fun sometimes, but mostly we were working.
harry had tensed up at the word 'college.' i knew they hadn't gone yet, but hopefully they would soon, to finish their education. dougie and danny and quieted down, to join our conversation.
"so, what're you going to do after our tour?" tom, who was speaking, was sitting under dougie. aka, dougie was on his lap.
'she got a pretty face, such a lovely name, don't want my friends to see, they might take her away from me.' dougie tapped danny. danny punched dougie on the arm. my text ringer was 'met this girl' by [guess?] mcfly.
"sorry." i pulled out my phone, and the text was from vanessa. she had a blackberry. i smiled, because the text said,
hey did you get to meet dougie yet??????? :))))))
i loooooooooooove dougie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course, she still acted like she was twelve. dougie leaned over on danny's lap to see the text. "see? somebody DOES love me!" he jumped up and down on tom.
"OW!" tom yelped. "you're freaking heavy, doug!"
danny, harry, and i laughed. then, after a couple seconds we were at the hotel. i got out, and then danny, and then dougie, then tom. harry had got out the same time as me. we went into the lobby, and a girl was standing there. she screamed and ran over to hug tom. i stood there, embarassed that i was witnessing this strange event.
the doorman, who was standing there, got up from his post and came over to peel the girl off of tom. she screamed, "NOOO," as we all ran to the elevator.
"where are your body guards?" i asked. i seemed wierd for them not to be here.
"umm..." tom wispered. "i told them we were going to california pizza kitchen. " i laughed.
"no, seriously!" tom had a smile on his face. "why do we need them to go everywhere?"
i smiled, and the elevator doors opened and i walked to our room.
"god, your room is far from the pool," danny said. he smiled, and i wondered if he wanted to see me in a bathing suit.
"ha ha." i smiled and stuck out my tounge at him.
we got to our room and i knocked on the door. there was a few moments of silence, and then the door swung open.
"ehmagod, lol, isabelle, that's hil-" and then kathryn looked at who was at the door. "omg. i need to sit down." she turned around and walked into the room.
"why, who's-" isabelle turned around and screamed. "MCFLY!"
vanessa got up and ran to the door. "DOUGiEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room. and then she started jumping up and down. i rolled my eyes.
"hi. i van-ess-a kell-ings. i'm so ex-cit-ted to me-et y-ou." dougie looked astonished. then his head turned and he smiled at tom.
"i'm dougie."
"i know." they kind of gazed at each other, and then she said, "lemme show you the pics i drew of you."
"okay," they ran off in the direction of vanessa's backpack.
finally, harry, danny, me and tom went inside the room.
"okay," i whispered to each of them. the other two girls were sitting on one of the beds with their mouths open, staring. "isabelle, with the lighter brown hair likes you harry, and the other one, kathryn, likes you, tom. go, go." they walked over to the bed.
"wow, you friends are hot..." danny gazed at kathryn. then he looked at me. "who do YOU like?"
"as if you didn't already know." i smiled. he smiled.
and we talked.

chapter two:: the water, the phone, and me

i woke up. only i didn't have my eyes open yet. i thought i was just dreaming that until i heard some voices."let's poor some water on her!" it was an excited voice, very excited. it had a british accent. i stiffened. i heard some fumbling noises."no, let's not dougie." i could recognise that also british voice anywhere, just like his drums. "just leave her. she'll wake up." he sounded strange..."doug..." danny's voice was stern. like he was mad. i was about to get up when i heard another voice. "if she doesn't wake up by 2:30, we'll call the hospital." for the oldest, he was of course, the one who acted like the youngest. well, second youngest."owch!" i heard a thumping noise, and then water was on my face. i shot up, and dougie lee poynter was almost on top of me with a water bottle in his hand. danny stood up, he was sitting in a chair near my [well one of their] hotel beds. he pushed dougie off of me and smiled that said, sorry, he's a bit of a handful. water was on the pillow now. i glanced at the clock on the bedside table. 1:45? wow, i'd been asleep for long. when i went up on stage it was, what, 12:30? my iphone was ringing and tom handed it to me.it was kathryn. oh no."hello?" i mouthed dougie, get me a towel, NOW! how could i be so calm? i didn't feel calm. i felt nervous, crazy, hectic, yet my body wouldn't do anything but sit there, my torso wet, and hold the phone. dougie ran into a room that was supposedly the bathroom. he came out with a towel. and handed it to me. i mouthed 'thanks' and started to dry off my face. the towel was soft warm. i didn't know why, but kathryn sounded worried. probably because of the time, i thought."veronica?" i heard some people in the backround talking."kathryn?""no it's isabelle, my phone died."oh, so when they were talking to danny the line didn't drop, she ran out of batteries. oh, god, my phone was almost out of batteries also. i hoped it wouldn't go out before i finished the conversation."ah.""where are you? we've been so worried, i mean, you're gone and stuff...""stop talking like that again. i'm fine... i'm... i'm... i'll explain in a sec. i'll come over to the hotel to see you." i had to be dreaming. this couldn't be real. tom, danny, harry, and dougie, were staring at me. "i'll be right over, and i'll explain there.""you should have a good one." she hung up.i looked at each one of there faces, mine felt expressionless. i didn't feel expressionless though."is this real?" i stood up from the bed and pressed end on my phone.harry laughed. "uh, yeah, it's real.""i have to get to my hotel." i found my tote bag on a bedside table and slipped my phone inside. i didn't have a coat scince it was may, and i didn't think i needed one. but now, i was freezing. "uhm," i felt silly asking mcfly for clothes. " can i borrow some, uh, clothes? just a shirt, maybe?" i realized i was shivering and wrapped the towel around me. "dougie, that water was cold!"dougie and Tom laughed, and I pulled the towel tighter around me. I let out a nervous chuckle. "clothes?" harry asked danny, tapping him lightly on the arm. "sure, let me go get a shirt." "i'll call a cab," tom said and disappeared into another room. danny walked into the same room behind tom. i could see a suitcase from the door."so, you're the winner, eh?" dougie stood by the bed where i was laying, and dabbed it with another towel."uh, yeah i guess. this isn't a good way to be meeting me though." i smilied wryly, and looked around the room. there were four twin size beds, and the walls were beige. i could hear a tv in the room the danny and tom went into, and i sighed. "kind of a bland hotel room, i know." harry glanced at my tote bag. "so, where are you staying?""at the marriot, it was next to the showroom building you were staging your meet and greet." he noded, and went into the tv room, where tom was, to tell him.danny came in the room with a smile on his face, and plaid button down in his hands. i smiled at the sight of him. he was holding the shirt by the shoulders so i could see. "this okay?""sure." i took it from him gently, and walked carefully towards the bathroom, trying not to make more of a fool of myself then i already had.i closed the door to the messy bathroom, and and all i coud think was, i'm going on tour with mcfly! i pulled off my sweater, and unbuttoned the shirt. i slipped it on, and looked at myself in the mirror. i could just wear my white tank top under this shrit right? it would look okay. i raked my hair with my fingers, then gave up. i guess it looked okay.i squealed, smiled at myself, and then went into the other room to go back to mcfly.

chapter one:: vacation surprise [sorry about the clump]

i was on vacation in new york with my twin, vanessa, isabelle, and kathryn. i was next door to our hotel, so i didn't have to walk that far. we had to go to new york because mcfly was going to do a meet and greet there. i knew i could go to a meet&greet at one of their concert, but oh well. the one ticket email was sent to me, and i knew i was going to meet danny jones.i also knew the announcement was sent to TONS of people. but it didn't look like that much from the ouside of the building i just entered. i went up to the front dest where a woman was sitting. she was staring at a computer, chewing gum, and i didn't want to disturb her.all she said was, "may i see your ticket please?" i showed it to her and she looked back to the computer and pointed at a door with a "mcfly" sign on it. i squealed, and she rolled her eyes like she was sick of that.i jogged up to the door, and opened it. there was a long line, and i thought i could see a table. on either side of the table were body guards. ohmygod, i thought.i stood in the line, and after playing a few games on my cell phone- oh. i haven't introduced myself. i'm veronica kellers, and i'm 20.i have a twin sister, and as you know, we're on a vacation to new york with some of my friends. so, back to the story. i go to north western college with isabelle and kathryn, and we just finished. we each started early in our senior year.my cell phone rang, and i answered it. "do ya" was my ringtone."hello?" i always ask that question in a who could be calling way."hey verz, it's isabelle. did you meet them yet? are you talking to them RIGHT NOW? can i talk?""no, iz, i'm still waiting." "oh." i giggled. "well, leave me on speaker so i can talk to them when you DO meet them.""it's just danny.""oh." i giggled again. "well, do it anyways. danny's cool. not as cool as harry though."i sighed. " you sure do love drummers.""joe jonas isn't a drummer.""well, still."i put my phone in my wetseal tote bag, and just waited. the line was getting smaller in front of me, i could see the table more clearly now. after a few minutes i was next in line. i fluffed my hair, and then the girl in front of me moved towards another door. as soon as danny saw me, he smiled. "well, hello. i'm danny jones. and you are?" it was the sexy smooth irish/british voice i loved. "i'm veronica kellings, and i-" i stopped myself. i didn't want to seem like i was 11 again. it would be silly. "yeah?""i-i-reallyloveyourmusic!andsodoallmyfriends,andmyparents,whichissurprisingbuti'vebeendyingtomeetyouallmylifebecauseyouaremyfavoriteguyinmcfly!"i breathed. nice going. now he's gonna think you're a stalker fan.i heard my friends giggle, and danny laughed. "aw, i've been hearing girls say that all night! who's on your phone?""my friends, they wanted to talk to you.""ah. well, lemme talk then." he smiled.i heard a squeal i thought came from isabelle. i pulled out my phone and handed it to him."hello?"i heard a gaggle of voices, a thud! and then the line dropped."hello? aw, the line dropped." he handed me back my iphone, and i put it ini my bag. i didn't think to bring anything for him to sign, the only thing i had to write with was a croyola marker-black.i handed it to him. "this okay?" i smiled and blushed. on the outside i was cool and serene, [somewhat] but on the inside i was jumping up and down."sure." he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. my heart skipped a beat as he signed my cheek. then, he turned my face and kissed my other cheek. my heart skipped two beats.when i pulled back, he whispered, "i hope you win.""win?""you'll see." girls behind be must have seen the exchange because they gasped and one of them said, "oh!"i smiled, and he motioned for me to move into the next room. i walked into an auditorium semi-big. so THiS was where the big prize was going to be announced. i didn't know what it was, but i sat down and got out my compact mirror. i stared at the place where he signed my cheek and smiled. college was nothing compared to this.of course, i was excited. maybe i'd win. but win what? this was just some stupid prize, probably RADIO:active deluxe which i already owned. UGH. i sighed. if only i had been recording when i'd met him. then i'd have something to show. i wouldn't win this contest anyways. with my luck, it would be the CD.then, after staring and daydreaming (for about, i dunno, a half-an-hour? yeah, i'm a dutz. it a surprise i even passed college.) finally the auditorium got a little dimmer. the girls who were sitting next to me must have been standing behind me in the line, because they were saying, "did you SEE the girl who he kissed? he didn't kiss me! no WONDER he broke up with olivia shaw, he's probably dating that girl." the other one said, "yeah, no wonder." they were both wearing, we love danny shirts that they made themselves, which was a clear sign they were jealous. i smiled and said to them, "so, what do you think the prize is?" i put the compact in my tote before they could see it.they looked at me and then, they were shocked. it looked like they'd seen a ghost.i smiled and focoused my attention on the stage where mcfly's manager was standing with a sheet of paper. he started speaking, [i couldn't remember his name- darnet!] "hello, i'm mcfly's manager, as you all know me, and i'm here to tell you who won the amazing prize of," a drumroll from behind the cutain. jitters in my stomach. i could recognise those drums ANYWHERE. mcfly was on the stage. "- one lucky girl and her friends going on tour in america with mcfly!" jitters from the audience. a couple girls screamed.i wasn't one of them. i was to shell-shocked."the winner is... number 3658914!" i looked at my ticket and saw that no one was getting up. i glanced at the numbers and- ohmygawd.before i knew it i was running up the stairs, and mcfly's manager was shaking my hand. at least he was shaking it, he couldn'y realize i was shaking.i told him my name, he announced it to the crowd, and the cutains opened."stay right here." the manager jogged off stage and mcfly was standing behind me.the reason i knew was because i smelleda certain smell. then i heard the beginning of "do ya."somebody hugged me, (that smell again) and then,everything went black. the last thing i thought was, i have to call the girls.
