Penguin (Tom Delonge / Christina Perri)

Chapter 9

:.:.:.:
The morning of the show
:.:.:.:

(Christina's POV)

My knuckles hit Ally's blue apartment door, I'm scared. Will she forgive me? How do I apologize? Will she still be my friend?
Before I can continue rambling on in my head Allison opens the door.

"Ally I'm sorry it's just, let's start over."
She throws her arms around my neck and hugs me.

"I forgive you Chris.. You're confused.. You need Tom.. I understand."
I take a step back.

"What makes you say that?"
My eyes focus on hers intensely.

"Because you're confused, you're in love with Thomas but can't seem to admit that to yourself. And you wonder if he feels the same way. Christina.. Hear me out."
She takes my right hand in her left.
"You're going to go to that show tonight and be there.. You will see how much he cares. You two are meant to be."

"Hey Allison.."

"Yeah Chrissy?"

"Eat lucky charms with me, and get ready for the punk show, because I'm taking you with me.."

Her eyes almost pop out of her head.
"To the punk rawk show!?! No way im not fit for that crowd! I'll get killed!"

"It can't be that bad ally.. It's not a Slayer or Metallica concert.. Now come on."

I pull her by the arm into my apartment and grab some cereal bowls.

"Ally, Google who's playing. Like the bands please." I say while pouring lucky charms.

She bites on her nails.

"Did you find the list?"

"Yeah.. Here."
Opening: Kut u up
2nd: Suicide machine
3rd: The story so far
4th: blink-182
Headliner: New found glory

My head throbs at the thought of seeing Tom again.. I haven't since the date.. I sit at the table and start eating cereal.

Ally reassures me..
"Hey we won't know anything until we get there alright? It'll be fun."

A smile spreads across my face.
"Hey ally, you know what rhymes with anal?

She giggles.
"What?"

"I have no idea I just wanted to be punk rock and say anal at the dinner table."

Ally smiles sweetly,
"When you start dating Tom you'll get plenty of time to turn punk."

"Oh shut up!"
My cheeks are on fire at the thought of it. Thomas taking me to his shows.. I'll have a reason to finally get a piercing. I can't believe I don't have a single piercing but I have around 70 tattoos!

"Christina.. Chris!"
I snap out of it.

"You were totally just daydreaming about him!"

"Yes I was.. I was daydreaming about Tom and how big his di-"

"CHRISTINA NO!"
Allison covers her ears while
laughs escape the both of us.

"Save it for the concert."
She nags me while I take her bowl with mine and put them in the dishwasher.

"What do you want to do while we wait, we still have about 5 hours until we should even get ready."

My mind runs hard, thinking of something fun.
"I know.."

I run into my room and come back out with a guitar, then sit on the floor.
"I want to write a song for Thomas."

"COME TO MY PLACE I WANT TO USE MY PIANO!"
Before I can respond she's out my door.
