I Can't Go Back

chapter 5 - Jokes on you.

The next day me and Viv wake up, workout, then head down to the hall for breakfast. Viv dives in hungrily and I sip a glass of water.

We head back up to our room, I chuck on a pair of blue jeans, a white shirt, and the 'psycho' jumper from Vicki's merch shop. I then brush my hair and whack it into a high bun. I smile and put some concealer and mascara in before grabbing my guitar and setting up the stand I put my phone on to record myself playing guitar and singing. I warm up my voice and go through psycho a couple times, before hitting the record button and filming it. I play it through and then stop the recording and watch it back. I am happy with it, so I film a few words just saying thank you to Vicki for yesterday and hoping people enjoyed my cover of psycho. I then go on my video editing app and put it together, before uploading it to my Instagram, tagging Vicki in the post. Then putting it on my YouTube account. When it has finally finished uploading to YouTube (which takes forever as I found out the other day), I see someone has already commented on my IG post, so I go have a look. It's COLLETTE GUITART!!! I squeal and jump around, Viv runs in, "WHAT?!" she asks, I squeal, "COLLETTE GUITART REPLIED TO MY INSTAGRAM POST SAYING SHE LOVED MY COVER OF PSYCHO!!!" I yell, she runs and hugs me and joins in the jumping madly.  We squeal for a solid 5 minutes, before my phone vibrates again, I see that COLLETTE has DM'D me. Cue squealing for another 10 minutes.

After we have squealed I actually get round to replying to her. She asks if I could do an acoustic cover with her of No Way. I reply, 'Sure! If that's ok with you.' I see her typing immediately, and wait for a reply. It comes soon enough

defo! Really excited! - Collette

kk cool! What key do you sing it in? So I can get started on the guitar - Emelie

I squeal, I know she only lets her friends call her Coco.

Oh and btw if you were to put it on any of your socials, You can't put my name on there. Rules of the Orphanage, sorry - Lee

Not sorry - Coco

I laugh

Thanks, me and Viv will probs just screech musical theatre songs and annoy everyone - Lee

Cya - Lee

I then grab my bag, and run downstairs at full pelt because I know they are waiting for me.

We get in the coach and me and Viv sit at the back, connect my phone to a Bluetooth speaker and blast musical tunes. We start listening to Heathers, but then Ju screeches from the front of the bus, "GIRLS! PUT EARPHONES IN! THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE YOUNGER CHILDS!" we sigh, disconnect and plug my earphones and listen to it this way, vibing along to the amazing tunes that is basically our lives.

We get to the museum and me and Viv are allowed to go around on our own. We are looking at an old talisman and an employee walks up to us and is like "Hey, have you seen Joe?" We shake our heads,

"Who's Joe?" We ask.

"JOE (yo) MAMMA!" She laughs. I deadpan my face,

"Joke's on you. My mum's dead." I say. Her laughter dies out immediately and she looked embarrassed and walks off awkwardly.

When she is outa ear shot me and Viv burst out laughing, "Her face!" We splutter, laughing hard. Viv can't stop laughing for a solid 15 minutes and eventually stops, red in the face.

After walking round a bit more, it is 12:30 so Viv drags me to the café and buys herself some food. I don't get any, but I get a coffee so Viv doesn't say anything. She eats and we head round the rest of the museum before finding Ju and the other kiddos again by the entrance. We clamber into the coach again and listen to musical songs again until we arrive at The Orphanage.

After piling back inside, Ju puts on a film for the younger kids. Me and Viv just go back to our room, I practice my guitar and singing, whereas Viv watches Sam (Pauly)'s live. I am just chilling, singing an acoustic version of All you Wanna Do, seeing as Viv was watching a Sam Pauly live, it seemed fitting, when I here some clapping and cheering when I finish the final note. I turn and Viv has joined the live, and everyone watching Sam Pauly's live can hear me. I flush and move to lay next to Viv, "Hi" I say awkwardly. Viv laughs and hugs me, "That was really good!" I hear someone say from the other end of the phone, I smile, "Not really," I say quietly, "There were a few dodgy notes." Viv rolls her eyes, and Sam laughs, "There wasn't, that was incredible!" I sigh, "Not really, but sure." I stretch and rub my eyes. Viv rolls her eyes, "I give up with you." Viv says, ruffling my hair. I laugh, "it really took you that long to give up on me?! I'm genuinely surprised." I laugh. I then stand up, "Viv, I'm going to the dance studio, see ya in a bit!" Viv nods and waves goodbye.

I walk down and start working out, obviously with musical theatre music blastic from the speakers. I get lost in the working out and lose track of time.

Ju walks into the studio, turns my music off. "Emelie. It's 2am. Go to sleep." She says firmly. I look up, "Wait, it's 2am?" I ask, she nods. I sigh, stand up and head to my room. Get dressed into PJ's and then lay in my bed, letting time pass.

A/N: Sorry that took so long. Enjoy!!
