Making Up For Friday

~Audrey's POV~ 

I suddenly wake up. My eyes still droopy from going to bed at like 1. The sun shining lightly through my curtains. I groan. Ugh I don't wanna get up. Hell no. Tokyo wines at the foot of my bed. She does that in her sleep sometimes. My phone vibrates and I hesitantly roll over to reach it. It's Jared. I'm still kinda mad that he wasn't there Friday and didn't tell me. It still bothers me that he would not tell me. Like what are you doing? I know he doesn't want to hang at the orphanage all day. I call him. I want answers now. 

 "Audrey? Oh my god hey!" 

 "Hey." 

"Are you mad at me? What did I do wrong?" 

I sigh. "Jared you weren't there Friday. You didn't even tell me where you were going. You made me look awkward and shit. I didn't eat lunch because I'm still scared of walking across the lunchroom and seeing all those people."

"I'm sorry. I know how you feel. But I can make this up to you Audrey! This is a really cool thing you won't believe it!"

"How can you?"

"I'll show you. I got to go Audrey." And he hangs up. 

What the fuck? 

I decide to get up. I get out of bed and take a shower. My phone playing music as the water runs. The forever reminding sting of the cuts that are still healing wake me up. Looking down I see the disgusting gashes on my body. How the girls in school look at me like a freak. Thoughts slowly come back to what Alice told me last night and I push everything in the back of my mind. 

I put on an old purple flannel shirt and some dark jeans. Not really caring about my hair because it's the weekend so I tie it in a messy bun. I grab my mascara and eyeliner and get to work. I put my blush and foundation on to give me color. Just taking a few minutes to look in the mirror and be pleased with how I look and I'm heading downstairs. 

Ashley is cleaning the kitchen and is humming to a tune that I don't recognize. Must be one of the songs from the album. 

"Morning Audrey! Sleep okay?"

"Yea I did. Anything to do today?" I ask grabbing a cookie from the cookie jar. 

"Well I have to go into the studio and get some stuff done over there. You can come if you want!"

Before I can answer, a loud honk comes from outside. That's weird. No a lot of cars come through here. Maybe one of the guys came to visit? Ash goes to open the door and I come up from behind him. Right in our driveway is Jared. And his car. 

"Jared! Nice ride man!" Ash says coming out and bro hugging him.

"You got a car? When?... How?" I ask. He smiles swishing his hair out if his eyes.

"I got my drivers license Friday. Which was why I was gone. And Miss Walters was actually nice enough to give me her car. But she just wants to get me out as soon as she can."

"Oh my god Jared! You're right this is pretty cool!" Jared walks to me, looking me in the eyes.

"So you forgive me?" 

"Yea. I can't be mad at you for very long."

"Good! I literally can not stand you being mad at me." 

We lead Jared back inside to chat. I show him around the house and show him Tokyo and Killer. They both love him and jump all over him. Suddenly we hear a guitar playing somehere inside. Ashley has a little studio going on in one of the rooms downstairs so he's probably in there. Jared's face lights up like its Christmas morning.

"Oh my fuck Audrey is he playing the new music from the record?"

"Yea. I don't recognize it. This happens all the time around here!" His eyes grow wide.

"You have it so lucky here! You hear the new stuff before anyone does!"

"I'm getting kind of used to it to be honest! Wanna go check it out?"

"Hell yea!"

I creep along the hallway, making sure Ash doesn't hear us. When he practices I can just feel him get lost in the music. Like the chords he strikes rips through my soul and hits my feels. And we ALL know how that feels! Jared is right behind me anxious to listen to more of the music. We reach the recording room and Ash is still playing. We just stand there with out backs against the wall listening. 

"You like it?' Ashley says with a chuckle. Shit. He knows!

"ITS AWESOME ASHLEY!!" Jared says coming around the corner. I can't help but laugh.

"Sounds really good Ash! I love it." I say coming into the room as well.

"Why thank you! It means a lot to have the stamp of approval from the biggest fans. Listen Audrey, I have to go into the studio and work on the record with the guys. You think it'll be okay if you and Jared chill out here?" 

"Yea no problem!" I say.

"Wait you've taken her before? Oh my god Audrey!" Told you he's a diehard fangirl. No lies here. 

So Ash packs up his stuff that he needs and hugs me and says goodbye. Once I hear his car start up and drive away I know we're here by ourselves. 

"So what now?" I ask.

"Well we can go to my room! You haven't seen it I swear you'll die looking at it!" 

We run up the stairs and he sees my bedroom door. I also decorated it with silver stars with my name written in fancy gold lettering. We sit on my bed and just talk. He recognizes the posters from my old room in the orphanage. He even looks up to the BVB on right under my bed and laughs. I lean against my wall and I play with Jareds hair. It's gotten so long since the last time I've seen him. 

"So," Jared begins petting Killer. "Anything interesting happened around here?" 

"A lot happens around here. Like the time when all the guys except Jinxx had a debate on a freaking cake flavor." Jared laughs.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No! CC was practically dancing on the table last night and he wasn't even drinking that much."

"That's one crazy dude! I can't imagine them chilling out and having kids like normal people." 

"Speaking of kids I found something strange downstairs in one of the closets... It's like this box filled with like baby shower stuff."

"Baby shower? In Ashley's house? That doesn't make sense Audrey. Maybe he's holding that stuff for his friend?" 

"No Jared. It has his name written all over it. Him and this other girl and I can't understand any of it." 

"I want to see this. Maybe I can make sense of all this."

I dash down the stairs, honestly I'm probably loosing a lot of weight just by running up and down these damn stairs. But anyways I run down the stairs and back to the closet with the cleaning supplies. The box is in the same place where I left it. 

I literally suck at updating when I say I am! >.< I'm sorry guys omg I really tried to update on the weekend but I got busy and tired from shit I was doing. So here's the next part and I'm working on the next chapter and I WILL try to post it when it's finished and good to go as soon as possible!
