The Drummer

Chapter 6

As you finally reach home from walking from the bus stop, you fumble around in your purse for your keys you find the card, pulling it out you wander what it could say and why would Danny drop it.

A you finnaly find your keys you open the door and enter your apartment.

After a whole you snuggle down under a blanket on the sofa, anxious to read the note, you turn it over.

"look, I knew from the moment I met you, I liked you, maybe even loved you. And I just wanted to ask, will you be my girlfriend? *kiss at new years*"

Dropping the note you begin to sob.

It was Danny's note alright and he was going to kiss you at new years and ask you to be his girlfriend, but you've blown it.

The you realise how travis must feel.

He invited you first to new years and he did end up kissing you.

'make a dicision, travis or danny' you think.

After a long night you decide to retire to your bed, hoping this was all a good dream gone wrong.

As you wake up, you check your phone like it was the morning post.

*4 new messages;

2 Travis

2 Danny*

"That's just great" you mutter.

*Travis's messages*

'Hi... I know were not on the greatest of terms at the moment&dannys not talking to me. Im so sorry. I couldn't help myself, I just seized the moment.'

Reading his text made you feel bad instantly.

'hurting 2 guys feeling in 1 night. Nice going!' you say, talking to yourself.

*next message*

'Hi, it's travis again. I was thinking maybe we could go for coffe? No strings attached. It would give me a chance to apologise. Text me if you can okay? Bye'

To go to coffe or not to go. That was the question.

Now for Danny's messages.

'hi. Look I'm sorry for last night, for yelling. Maybe we could meet up so I can talk to you? I miss you.'

He so sweet.

Dose he realise he's lost that note? Will he ask the question?

Next message.

'Hey, it's me again. Again I'm sorry I over reacted last night. I need to talk to you? It's urgent? Come to my house at like 1pm if you can? Miss you babe.'

This text was sent earlier this morning, whereas the others were sent last night.

What could be so important? Would he ask you to be his girlfriend? Or 'brake up' with you?

As you lazily put down your phone and make an attempt to roll over on your side, you get a glimpse of the clock above you.

12:30

"DAMN!" you shriek, jumping out if bed you trip over your duvet, landing face first on the hard wooden floor.

"if only Starbucks boy was here to catch me THIS time" you grin, standing up and awkwardly half limping to get changed.

Making your way over dannys house, directed by his text's, you turn the corner spotting his house in the distance across the road. There was a large lorry outside, yet as soon as you got close enough to see what it was it drove away.

**note, in this 'book' Trav and Danny dont live together, like they do in RL. It would be too awks wouldn't it XD**

As you go up the drive you can see through the front window into the living room, you see Danny pacing up and down the room, running his hands through his mid length chocolate brown hair. As you go to ring the doorbell he spots you before and, opens it before you can do anything.

"hi." he says smiling slightly, though his expression is worrying.

"hiya, lets talk?" you say, walking past him into his front room, sitting on the surprisingly comfy sofa.

"Look, I'm okay, I guess. With what happens last night. It's not trav's fault, spur of the moment kind of thing right? I just wish I was there Instead..." he looks down at his feet, now sitting right next to you on the sofa he fidgets slightly.

You tilt his head up and toward you, gently and kiss him.

After you brake apart you whisper,

"happy new year" this makes him laugh and turn bright red out of embarrassment.

"why are you over this all of a sudden? You were so mad last night?" you ask, puzzled at his sudden change I state.

"look" he says holding your hands in his and looking into your eyes.

"I've had to put up with it all my life. Travis is the lead singer, and guitarist! He has 'the voice of an angel' and he's 'a true poet that writes amazingly romantic rock ballads'" he says sarcasticly. Sighing, he continues.

"all my life he's got the girls, even the ones that liked ME in the beginning, it's okay though."

" I'm only the drummer." he says softly. His eyes meet yours and their full of sadness.

"and thats why I have to leave. Leave Him, leave the band. Leave bradentown."

"and leave you."
