When Delilah moves back to Dublin, Ireland she takes interest not with her childhood bestfriend Elijah but his blue eyed friend. Will becoming band members bring the two closer together? #INHALER #robertkeating #elijahhewson #joshjenkinson #ryanmcma...
Our first gig was a success! After playing we went backstage and saw all our friends and family who came to watch, they were all super proud and excited for us was really cute, made it feel like our delusions were becoming real. We also met up with the shamrocks after for a drink there the school year above from us so could order drinks in the pub which is cool, we sat drinking Guinness with the sounds of chatter and a crackling fireplace which warmed the room. Rowan and Charlie have a relationship similar to Ryan and Eli's they can just chat utter waffle and totally match eachothers energy which was so funny to see the 4 of them in-time, me, Josh, Rob, Elliot and Adeline played cards for a while and then had a few rounds of pool, the Hewsons have a table at their house so over the years I've become quite the pro at pool if I do say so myself, we all took it in terns, we talked about our bands and playing and other random stuff, by about 12 we all gathered back together, and exchanged numbers we hoped to play on the same night or even just hang out again they all seemed like really great people. Also Flynn the technician guy from the cooler said his managers really liked us and would be happy to let us play again sometime, hopefully some different venues will be interested in us as well once we start doing more gigs. For now we're focussing on getting a few more songs written. The writing process isn't really what I would call easy, I guess with practice it will begin to flow quicker or having some tragic break up might get the creative juices flowing BUT currently I'm extremely happy in my relationship so our songs won't be about that ha.
A few weeks go by and it's the February half term holiday. We get a week off school so I plan to try and catch up with my coursework, see my friends, try and write some songs with the band and also have a fabulous valentines dayyy. It's my first ever time I can celebrate, normally I hang out with my girlies we watch a romcom and eat way too much but this year we ALL have boyfriends, if you told me that a year ago when we were all insanely single, like not one of us had a taking stage whatsoever, I would have told you you were mad. Now I'm with Rob, Novas with Ryan, Averys with Connor and Megs with Jamie. So I guess it's true a lot can change in 12 months. In terms of Robs present I got him a little wooden guitar pot which opens up and slots guitar picks in, I got a few picks personalised with his name or initials on or inhaler on. I also got him a silver ring which has a R&D for Robert and Delilah engraved on the inside ring, from the outside it just looks like a normal signet ring but I thought the subtle writing would be sentimental for him. The plan is for Rob to come to my house we're going to make some food together then watch a film. We might do something in the daytime for a bit too but I'm not sure. Not to be annoying but I'm really excited! It's Monday and Valentine's Day falls on a Wednesday this year that why it's lucky we happen to be off sixth for this week.
Wednesday comes around quick Robs been at his grandparents for the past few days so I've seen the others for a random brand practice but not him since Friday. I wake up late and get changed into my red coloured top...

...sticking to the valentines theme and at 12 o'clock the bell rings, I head downstairs open the door and there Rob stands with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. "Hey Rob." I say in a cheesy voice. "Hey Delilah will you, be my Valentine?" he says with a smile across his face. "Of course." I say giving him a big hug. "Woah careful of the flowers." He laughs. "I specifically tried to choose the ones that weren't squished." "They'll be fine." I giggle looking down at the colourful arrangement of tulips, baby's breath, daisys... "thank you there so pretty." I say looking up at him giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "I remembered you said you weren't a massive fan of red roses and I saw these ones and thought they were the most you." "Well you picked perfectly." I grin "come inside." I pull him into the hallway. He takes of his shoes, bag and coat and we wander into the kitchen. "Mum do you have a vase I could put these in?" I ask holding up the flowers. "Oh yes in the top shelf of the cupboard over there. " Rob follows me into the room "Hello Heather." He says to my mum... "Hiya Rob, how are you?" "Great thanks, and you?" "Not bad thank you, they're some lovely flowers, for Dees first valentines." my mum smiles. "Yes mum we know I've been painfully single don't rub it in." I cringe. "Well eh this is a first for me too." Rob grins rubbing the back of his neck as he turned a little red. "Aw I think it's really nice you two have found each other." Mum carrys on. "Yeah it is.. do you need a hand with that one Lils?" Rob asks seeing me struggle to reach the vase. "Please." I laugh, he walks over to the cupboard and grabs the vase from the shelf. "Thanks." I smile. "Benefit of being tall." My mum says. "Yeah how tall are you?" I ask, I know Robs tall but not how tall. "Like 6.1, 6.2 I haven't really checked." He says. "Well your definitely taller than me." I say ruffling his hair as he looks into my eyes. "Okay we'll I'm off to go get my hair done." mum says. "very romantic Valentine's Day for me!" "Aren't you and dad going out for food later?" I ask. "Well yes he's claimed to have booked a table somewhere not sure where he's got planned." She says. "A surprise is nice." Rob says. "Well yes it could be a surprise or he's just left it to such late notice we'll be going anywhere with vacancy." Mum laughs. "I'm sure that's not true." I smile. "Oh well we'll have to wait and see, enjoy your lunch you two, bye lovely's." Mum says as she walks out the kitchen.
