The Drummer

Chapter 11

As you roll over, in your bed, you sit up slightly rubbing your eyes in order to wake up. Feeling the other side of the bed for travis, you get a shock when he's not there. Stunned you jump up and out of bed, rubbing your eyes and pulling your hair into a rough high-pony, you run downstairs.

"hello?" you call out when downstairs walking into the kitchen, if anywhere he'd be here.

"did I dream last night? *sigh*" you whisper whilst pulling the plastic milk bottle from the fridge and going to set it on the counter.

As you go to, a warm pair of big hands suddenly cover both your eyes, and the figure holds you tight. Scaring you so much you can't even mumble words.

"guess who princess?" it was trav. Scaring the life out of you but at least he's here.

"you idiot! You made me jump! I could have... Died!" you say, sarcastically, hitting him on the arm.

" OI! Don't be silly,I wouldn't do anything to hurt you princess" and he hugs you.

You want to enjoy it but it feels weird, guiltyness seems to creep in Everytime you want to be happy.

"wanna go back upstairs and cuddle and watch a film?" you ask, looking up to him.

"sure thing hun" and he winks.

~ 3 weeks later ~

Walking up to Starbucks, hand in hand with trav, you start talking about birthday plans for you.

"I wanna go away?" you ask, a holiday would be the ideal thing to do whilst it's chilly.

"where? Name any place and ill take you there?" he says squeezing your hand.

Thinking you can come up with a multiple amount of places, sweeden, aftica, Egypt, England, but you can't make your mind up!

"il come back to you later on that one" you say winking.

As you go to reach for the glass door handle, to enter the warm shop, trav being no help as he is checking his reflection and doing his hair, typical!

A flash reflection catches your eyes and makes you spin round. Paparazzi.

"smile babe! Oi Travis Clark, lead singer of we the kings! Can I get a pic of you and your stunning girlfriend"

Confused you look at trav and pull a worried face.

And you blurt out,

"he not my uh..." and before you can do anything trav grabs you close and says.

"yes, me and my girlfriend, isn't she gorgeous?" he says laughing and he smiles at the camera and all you can do it pull an awkward smirk and hope it comes out okay.

"cheers, good news stuff" he says walking away.

Immediatly you spin round, taking his arm off you.

"what was that?!" you say leaning to one side crossing your arms.

"what?" he says laughing and pulling you close.

"what did I do wrong? Can't a flaunt my girlfriend around making other jelous?" he says hugging you. Giving in slightly you lean into him.

"I just didnt know we were 'there' yet" you say, slightly mumbling looking at him and playing with his key necklace.

"dont you think we are?" he says pulling the hair out I your eyes.

"I don't know, I like you, like like you" you sigh, this is all to much. You need a coffe.

"can we go in and talk about this?"

"sure"

As you go inside and he goes to order your sit down and check your phone.

*1 message from hunter*

'hi, I can see you and trav are dating? Could of told me babe.'

Shocked you reply.

'if we were I would say? Where are you hearing this?'

The reporter. He could of posted the pictures from his phone. Damn.

'it's all over twitter, your not? You look pretty cosy? What would Danny think if he saw it...'

You slam your phone down. Almost in tears. Danny. What would Danny do. He would freak...

"what's up princess? Im sorry for earlier, if we not there, we're not, it's fine! I like how we are now" he says sitting down opposite from you and taking a sip of coffe.

Sighing you look out of the window.

"what is it?" he asks, in a worried tone.

"I miss danny" you mange to blurt out.

Stunned he sits back.

"I'm sorry, I like you I do, maybe even love you but... ERGH I don't know" and you place your head down on your arms on the table, crying slightly.

"if you still like him... I mean... I'm okay with it. These past weeks have been amazing but I can't help but think your drifting away and maybe WERE not MENT to be..." he says sighing, and slouching in his seat.

Looking up, fully aware there's going to be mascara run down your face you say,

"really? These weeks have been the best of my life, but yes I miss him, I don't know I just feel like he stole my heart. I guess we're just wrong timing." you say, taking his hand.

"I agree. What about the photos though? And I kinda have a surprise planned for your birthday.. It's a party! I don't mind still throwing it" he says, making you cheer up instantly.

~home~

Going through twitter, attempting to count how many times this photo has been leaked. You get a text.

From Danny.

'hi. Sorry I up and left and sorry it's been so long since we talked. Fresh air has been good and I saw the photos of you and trav... I'm happy for you. And I mean it's okay because I've moved on too.'

And the message ends there.
