Okay so here is Chapter 2 to Scar Tissue (A One Direction Fan Fiction)! Enjoy!

The bell had just rang signalling the day was over for me. By now it was 3:30 so I rushed to my car wanting to get to the grocery store as soon as possible. I flipped on the radio trying to drown the silence.

          " I wanna stay up all night and jump around until we see the sun! I wanna stay up all night and find a girl and tell her she's the one! Hold on to the feeling and don't......"

I quickly switched the station clearly not in the mood for an upbeat pop song. I haven't exactly been able to tolerate any pop music for almost two years now. I used to like some of it but alternative rock has always been more my scene.

By now I had arrived at the store and it was already.... 4:30! I didn't realize it took that long to get here from the university! I rushed through the huge store grabbing things for dinner and groceries for the week. I was waiting in line when I remembered I was out of tea! I can't live without my tea after a long day at school, so I ran down the isles searching for the tea. Just as I turned the corner I slammed into a solid figure knocking me down and hitting the floor pretty hard. I looked up as I shook my head trying to focus my eyesight again. There stood five hooded figures with one of them muttering quick apologies and curse words under his breath. He must of been the one I slammed into I thought as I grabbed his extended hand allowing him to help me up.

"I'm so sorry love. I didn't see you rounding the corner, you just came so fast." the black haired boy muttered as he helped me up. I took this moment to take in their features. They were dressed in all black in a kind of punk look similar to mine. It didn't seem to suite them as well though, as they seemed a bit out of place. They actually looked really familiar but I couldn't quite remember them. Im must have seen them around town somewhere but I didn't have enough time to stick around and find out.

"No Problem, it was my fault anyway. Sorry to hit and run but I'm kind of in a hurry." I apologized as I grabbed my tea and ran.

"See you around I hope!" the boy yelled to me from down the isle, so I turned back to him not wanting to be rude "Maybe, who knows?" I shrugged with a smile as I ran off toward the cash register.

I checked out and drove home quickly not caring if I was breaking the speed limit. I pulled into my driveway at around 5:15 and put away the groceries leaving out the ingredients I needed for dinner. I was making barbecue chicken and sauteed vegetables for dinner so I stuck the chicken in the oven and went for the shower to was away the day. I got out at around 5:45 and went to the kitchen to finish dinner. I finished up the sauteed veggies and took the chicken out of the oven just as the door bell was ringing. 

"Uncle Simon!" I greeted my uncle with a friendly hug and stepped aside so he could enter the house. 

"Hello Elle, you've grown since I last saw you! It's been about a year yeah?" he mused as he sat at the kitchen table.

"Wow, I can't believe it's been that long! Well I made you my specialty for dinner, so I'll go fix our plates and then we can catch up."

       ~*~

After Uncle Simon and I made some small talk and finished up dinner we went to the living room to sit down. I knew there was something he had to tell me or else he would have just invited me to one of his fancy parties or gave a quick call instead of having a private dinner with me.

"So, what brings you back in town?" I asked wanting to get straight to the point.

"Oh, you know the usual business meetings and what not. Actually I also wanted to speak to you about a summer job."

This of course perked my ears up. Getting a job right out  of college would look really good on my resume.

"A summer job? Doing what?" I questioned clearly curious to what it might be.

"Well, do you remember the band I put together on the X Factor in 2010, One Direction?" my Uncle questioned hesitantly.

Crap. I don't really remember any of the pop artists Simon has put out for a while. Oh, well, he doesn't need to know that.

"Erm, yeah sure. What about them?" I spoke, unsure of what they had to do with the job offering.

"Well, they are here in London recording their sophomore album and I was hoping you would manage sound and help them with anything else around the studio. I think they would get along a lot better with someone around their age rather than the 40 year old man we had before."

Hmm.... This could be interesting, plus I'll get paid real well, and this is way better than cleaning the dressing rooms at the O2 Arena like I usually did. Eh, what the hell.

"I'll do it." Simon smiled as the words came out of my mouth.

"Great, I'll text you the details sometime throughout the week."

I walked Simon to the door as we said our goodbyes and went upstairs. I quickly put on my pajamas then slumped on the bed as the fatigue slowly took over. I had a feeling this was gonna be an amusing summer.
