chapter vi. sightseeing

- Danielle's POV -

I glanced at the clock that hung above the entrance doors and it read 11:30.

"Amelia c'mon we're done!" I yell as I untie my apron and hang it back up in the storage closet.

"Okay, I'll be out in a second!" I sigh and take my phone out of my back pocket and see multiple text messages from Sophia and decide to read them.

Sophia: What time do you want to come and pick up Aleah tomorrow?

Sophia: Waaaittt, we have the concert tomorrow :/

Sophia: Do you want to just leave Aleah at my house with Elliott and Rach while we go to the concert?

Sophia: Why aren't you replying?

Sophia: *facepalms self* lel duh you're at work

Sophia: Just text me when you can <3

Danielle: Is it ok with Elliott that Aleah stays there?

Danielle: I'll just drop off some more shit for Aleah when I come and pick you up for the concert :)

I slip my phone into my back pocket and notice the piece of paper from Gerard fall out. I quickly grab it off of the floor and figure to enter his phone number into my contacts list so I don't lose it.

---

Danielle: Hi, it's Danielle from Starbucks :3 Just thought I'd text you goodnight :)

Gerard <3: Hey Danielle, don't forget about tomorrow at 6 ;) goodnight

Danielle: I wouldn't miss it for the world

"Texting lover boy, eh?" Amelia whispers over my shoulder.

"Ahh!!" I yell as I jump up into the air. "Don't fucking do that!" I say through gritted teeth only to see Amelia lying on the floor laughing.

"Who're you texting though?" She asks brushing herself off.

"Just, uh, Gerard."

"Danielle and Gerard sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!"

"Oh my lord Amelia you're so fucking immature." She only kept on repeating the song.

"Well I'm going home! I'll text ya' later!"

"USE PROTECTION!" I shook my head and walked out the door and made my way to my car so I could drive home.

-----

I opened the door, and dropped my purse by the door and throwing my car keys in as well. I walked over to the kitchen to get a quick glass of water before going over to my bedroom and getting dressed for bed. I quickly threw my hair up in a bun and slipped on a bigger pair of sweatpants to sleep on. I flipped the light switch off and crawled into bed, waiting for tomorrow to come as fast as it could.

-----

I woke up to the bright sunlight streaming into my bedroom through the open blinds. I checked my phone to see what time it was and it was only ten-past-nine, so I decided to quickly make myself some eggs and bacon for breakfast since I knew I was going to be eating junk food for the rest of the day. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed two eggs from the fridge and the pack of pre-cooked bacon to pop in the microwave. I also grabbed a pan and set it on the stove top to warm up. The heavenly smell of bacon started to flood the kitchen and the eggs were just about finished, so I grabbed both of them and moved them onto my plate and sat down at the kitchen table.
