The Dancer (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 32

----Lena----

We pulled into my old house at about 10:30 pm. I was beat. All I wanted to do was sleep. My aunt told me that Destiney would be sleeping in my room on my old mattress. I thanked her and Travis helped us bring our stuff to my room. It still looked like it did when I left. My walls were a beige color, but my back wall was a deep blue. Haha I called that my "British Invasion" wall because I had my home made Union Jack and all my favorite British bands on it.

I showed Travis where to put our stuff and Destiney said she wanted to ask my aunt something so she'd be back in about ten minutes.

Travis: "Remember all of the memories of us in here?"

Me: "Haha yeah.....look at this picture of us at Senior Prom! I looked terrible!'

Travis: "What are you talking about? You looked beautiful!"

Me: "Were you blind that night? Look at the picture! My hair was the size of Texas! And who the fudge did my make up!?!"

Travis: "Ok say what you want, but I think you looked wonderful. That night was perfect."

Me: "Perfect? Who did you got to Prom with?! It sure wasn't me!"

Travis: "Well, we did have a few things go wrong, but...."

Me: "A few?? It was pouring rain and nether of us brought an umbrella so my dress got soaked, then some birds thought it was a good idea to take a shit on me, then my dress got caught and ripped it to shreds!!!"

Travis: "Hahaha ok! It went terrible, but do you remember what I did after your dress was ripped and after all the bad stuff happened?"

Me: "How could I forget! You gave me you jacket and walked me home. Haha we were soaked!"

Travis: "Yeah, earlier that day my car broke down....."

Me: "Hahaha we have some bad luck, don't we babe?"

Travis: "We do, but all of that is over now. We have each other and we're together now. That's all that matters. Right?"

Me: "Right! I'm really tired bo. I think I'm gona go to sleep."

Travis: "Ok. You Aunt and Uncle said I could stay in the basement because my parents won't be home for another week. Mom's so happy that you've come back. I'm not the only who's missed you!"

Me: "Haha I guess not. Tell mom I say hi! Night bo!"

Travis: "Night baby. Love you 'till the cows come home."

Me: "Love you 'till the cows come home."

He shut the door and I quickly changed out of my clothes and threw on my PJ's. I turned on my phone and I had some messages from some numbers that I didn't know, and one that caught my eye. It was from my boss.

Lena,

We've moved you from dancing to singing/guitar playing. We've heard that your better at that then dancing so we've took the liberty to sign you up for a record label. Tomorrow you'll report to the studio at 8:30am and at 9:00pm tonight you will play at a small club on the upper east side. Hope you understand and I hope to see you there. Oh and have 8 songs memorized by then. Have fun.

-Mr. Blakemen

I couldn't believe him! He moved me! And only have me 24 hours notice?!? Who does he think he is?? Oh right.....he's my boss..... I crawled into bed and turned on my music. I heard Destiney come into the room and we said our good nights then fell quickly to sleep.

****NEXT MORNING****

I had woke up at 5:30. I was nervous and I needed time to get a list of songs together for tonight. I didn't wana wake Destiney, so I stepped over her and into my hallway. I had to some how get into the basement without waking Travis. I crept down the stairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed a banana and some carrots and that was my breakfast. Just as I sat down to eat, I remembered why I had started to like these things. Louis's favorite vegetable was carrots and when they play spin the Harry, someone always gets a banana in their face. I started to tear up, but I just ate them.

When I had finished breakfast, I slowly opened the door to the basement. Travis was up because I heard him talking to someone on the phone.

Travis: "Yes mom I know. I won't hurt her......yes but!....I told you mom! I love her!.......I don't know when I'm gona ask her......maybe tonight.....yes have the ring.......yes it's dimands....ok I have to go....ok....ok...love you too...ok.....ok....un uh....bye!"

He was talking to his mum. That was so sweet. And talking about me.......what did he have to ask me? Well, i'll worry about that when the time comes. I walked down the stairs and he heard me.

Travis: "Morning baby!" *runs up to Lena and gives her a kiss*

Me: "Morning bo! Haha have you seen my guitar?"

Travis: "Yeah it's right in to corner.....I was playing it a little last night.....I hope you don't mind..."

Me: "No not at all! I've missed you voice and how you play! I'm just glad someone tuned it for me!"

Travis: "Haha ok! Here let me get it for you. Why do you need it?"

Me: "My boss doesn't think I should dance anymore, so he's transferred me to singing and playing. He's trying to sign me up with a record label."

Travis: "You do have an amazing voice!"

Me: "Really? Aw thanks babe! I need to know how to play eight songs by tonight...."

Travis: "Well, you know Lego House. And you also know Before He Cheats, Through The Glass, Second Chance, and Half Way gone. That make 5 all u need is 3 more."

Me: "Oh yeah! Thank you so much babe!"

I have him a quick kiss and ran upstairs. I knew everyone was up, besides Destiney. I wanted to mess with her a little bit, so I plugged my guitar into my amp and put the amp right by her face. I started to strum lightly and when she didn't wake up a waled a major chord an he jolted awake.

Destiney: "WHAT THE HELL LENA???!!??"

Me: "Hahahaha-I-hahahaha wanted-hahaha-to-haha-wake-hahaha-you-hahaha-up!!

Destiney: "WE'LL YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT NICELY!!"

Me: "When I have than opportunity to have a little little fun and mess with someone, do I do it the nice way?"

Destiney: "No I guess not!!! I'm up now! What do you want??"

Me: "I need to practice my guitar and singing so I need to move the mattress."

She sat up and I laid my guitar on my bed. She was getting off so I went behind her and pulled the mattress right out from underneath her.

Destiney: "OW! THAT HURT YOU KNOW!"

Me: "Haha I know! I just really need to practice!"

Destiney: "Why? We have dance today remember?"

Me: "I don't anymore. Ugh read my last message from Mr. B."

She did and she screamed.

Destiney: "OH MY GOSH!!! YOUR GOING TO GET SIGNED TO A RECORD LABEL?!?"

Me: "I don't know, but I do know that if you keep interrupting me, I WON'T GET SIGNED!"

She put her hands up in defense and pointed to the door. She locked it behind her and I was finally alone. I decided to do the eight songs I know the best:

1.) Half Way Gone by Lifehouse.

2.) Through The Glass by Stone Sour.

3.) Don't Tell Me by Avirl Leven.

4.) Second Chance by Shinedown.

5.) Thousand Year by Christina Perri.

6.) If You Only Knew by Shinedown.

7.) Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson

&

8.) Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down.

I practiced those songs until Travis came and got me. My car wasn't here yet from England, so Travis drove me to the studio. He already knew where it was because he works right next door. He dropped me off and I went in.
