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.
