The List...

Chapter 3

I laughed as harry wiped out again. We were at the most popular beach in the area. And the Paparazzi were trying to hide but I always caught a sight of them. But whenever I did I just kissed Harry or did something cute.

After about 4 hours of Harry almost drowning I decided we were done the day. We walked out of the water and sat watching the sunset. I leaned my head on his shoulder and sighed.

"The paps are crazy today" Harry whispered

"Right now there is about 10 around us.."

"Lets give them what they came for then." I chuckled.

I turned my head towards harry and he lent in kissing me. We kissed for a few seconds then pulled back smiling.

"Alright, I thinks it time for you to drop me back off in hell." Harry laughed.

"Yea, Uncle Simon can be great, but lately his too happy to even realize how much of a jerk he is being." I smiled.

I slammed my bedroom door and quickly changed. After I was in my sweats and hoodie I flopped onto my bed, grabbing my cell. I dialed Nick's number. He picked up after a couple of rings.

"Hey Darce."

"Hi" I said smiling

"Whats up?"

"Just got home from 'promoting' the album. We still starting the list tomorrow?" He chuckled.

"I just finished adding my stuff." I smiled

"Alright then! I have something in the morning but can you pick me up around 11?"

"Sounds great"

I talked to him for a while longer then realized it was 11. Shit A little while was actually a couple hours. I said goodnight and hung up my phone, jumping under the covers and quickly drifting off to sleep.

I sat there looking in the mirror. Tears were brimming my eyes. My mum walked in with a tear stained face. She sat beside me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Dont worry honey, everything will be alright." I sighed.

"No mum, I don't think it will." I got up and wiped my eyes. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I grabbed it open the new message. I smiled.

"Im here, come quick! -N xx" 

I ran outside and into his car. I smiled at him and he started driving. We talked until we reached his house. We walked in at headed to his room. I said good morning to his mum and sister on the way. We got in his room and he shut the door. I plopped down in the computer chair.

"So what's the first task?" I asked him while spinning around in my chair.

"It says..  Skydiving. " I bit my lip.

"I thought you hated heights?" Nick said looking up at me.

"I do. Lets go!"

 I strapped on my harness and took my seat. Nick quickly sat beside me and took a deep breath. I nudged him and raised my eyebrows. He just rolled his eyes.

"You scared?" I said shaking a little.He smiled.

"Nah, You?"

"Terrified." He chuckled and grabbed my hand. I smiled, then mentally slapped myself.

The instructor came and started explaining the process. I started getting knots in my stomach. By the time he finished talking I was frozen with fear. I was squeezing Nick's hand so tight he winced. But he didnt try and let go, he knew better then that. He leaned towards my ear.

"Dont worry Darce, Its gonna be fun!" I took a deep breath and nodded.

The instructor yelled at us to get up. We walked over to him and the back door of the plane opened. My legs froze and Nick pulled me.

"Ready?" I took another deep breath and looked at Nick. I smiled.

"Yea" We counted to three and jumped.

I had that awful feeling in my stomach that you get when you go down on carnival rides. But this was 200 times worse. I never let go of Nick's hand during the free fall. Once we were clear I let go of his hand and got some space between us.

I pulled my shoot praying it would work. When something rippled behind me and I suddenly stopped falling fast. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked to Nick. His shoot opened and I smiled.  We drifted down until we finally touched the ground. I un-hooked my parachute and layed down on the ground. I stayed like that till Nick walked over and layed beside me. He took a deep breath.

"Wanna do it again?"

"Hell no." He laughed. He got up and held out his hand to me.I took it and stood up shakily.

"You look like a deer standing for the first time."

"bahha so funny." He chuckled and we made our way back to the car.

Once we got there He grabbed the list out of his pocket and crossed off 'Skydiving'. He looked down at number two and smiled. He grinned at me, which made me smile.

"Busking at the Walk of Fame." I grinned even wider.

"Lets go get my guitar then" He put the car into drive and drove to my Mcmansion.

 We walked in to my house quietly. Simons car wasnt in the driveway, so I was hoping he wasnt home. We walked to my room and grabbed two of my guitars.  We snuck back down stairs and headed towards the door.

"Darcy? Is that you sweetie?" My mum called 

"Shit..." I whispered.

My mum walked into the room with tears in her eyes. My mood immediately dampened. I think I knew what she was going to say.

"Hi Nick sweetie." She went and gave Nick a hug. 

"Nicholas can you bring the guitars to the car? I'll be there in a sec." He nodded and grabbed the guitar from my hand. He shut the door behind him and I turned to my mum.

"They called.... Want you to come in next week." My jaw clenched. But I nodded and waved to my mum before running out the door to Nick's car.

"Everything ok?" I took a deep breath.

"Yea, lets go!"
