Wild Ride - The Alternative Version (Book 2)

Chapter 15~Bittersweet

A/N: Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that throughout the story, you might've seen Val's name, and she'd be the girl with Matt. However, that is a mistake. It's supposed to be Danielle, like in the first story. It's a character mistake, because I have another story with Val in it that I'm working on at the same time, and I forgot that it's Danielle in this one. Sorry if it confused you, I went back and changed it anywhere that I saw it. Sorry about that! (: ~A7X_ReverendPlague

On Saturday, after dropping Abbie off at Allison's house with her overnight bag, I headed for Jimmy's place. The guys would be there for the first part of the day, because yesterday they weren't able to get past getting the dresser completely put together. Matt managed to get a splinter, and Jimmy said that Matt's a big wimp when it comes to things like this, and he wouldn't stop complaining until someone got it out. Then after Zacky removed his splinter, he kept complaining about how much that hurt and how sore his finger was, so then Jimmy went and got a band-aid, and he actually had to put the band-aid on Matt's finger for him. By the time all of that blew over, everyone was pretty exhausted and didn't want to risk having to take anymore complaining from Matt so they just stopped there. 

So, now they were going to finish the dresser and they would be done with putting everything together and getting furniture moved in. Then Jimmy and I would do the rest of the decorating. Since we think that neither of us will be such wimps if we happen to get injured minorly like Matt, then Jimmy thinks we could be done with Abbie's room today and at the start of next week she can come stay with him. Of course, she doesn't know this yet, but when I pick her up from Allison's tomorrow I'll tell her and I'm sure she'll go nuts. 

I got there at about the same time everyone else, though they were already upstairs in Abbie's room. According to Jimmy I was only a couple minutes behind them, as we all agreed to meet at two. It only took the guys about half an hour from there to finish the dresser and then get it moved against the wall under the TV. The shelves that they had also mounted onto the wall under the TV were metal, and black. The video game cases were already assembled on the shelves, they had done that yesterday to make sure the shelves would hold, and they did. Danielle came with Matt so she was making sure the boys positioned everything right, and sometimes she'd mess with them and tell them to keep moving things back and forth for the fun of it. It was pretty funny. 

As the guys got ready to go, Brian approached me. "Hey, Bri, what's up?" I greeted him.

"Well, I want to give Abbie a guitar, one of the Syn Customs. I was wondering if you knew if she had one that she liked the most?" He said, and my eyebrows shot up in surprise, but I answered his question.

"Yeah, she's always liked the white with black stripes the most." 

Brian grinned. "Cool, that's what I'll get then." Then he left, and I was still a little surprised that he wanted to give her a guitar, but nonetheless happy. That was a really nice thing for him to do for her. Once she realizes that guitar is hers she'll probably be holed up in her room just playing it all day long. These guys treat her like royalty. I can tell that when she gets older and starts dating they'll be those creepy uncles that follow her around, that is if Jimmy will even let her near boys, which doesn't seem very likely. 

Matt stayed after the others guys left because he brought the Playstation 2 and got it set up, and then he "tested it out to make sure it was set up properly". Like he would set it up and have it not be proper, the guy babies his video games. The console was on her dresser, and that's where one of the controllers was set and the extra controller went up on the shelf. 

"So where is the little rugrat anyway?" Matt asked as he wrapped the cord around the controller after turning off the Playstation 2.

"She's with her friend Allison, she's spending the night." I replied.
