It Starts with Hello ◇Drew Dirksen AU

Preface.

Drew's POV

"Drew Tilanus Dirksen! If I have to grab you out of your bed I will. Now get yourself down here!" my mom yells from downstairs. I roll my eyes and put the blanket over my head again. I never have liked my middle name but it stuck with me considering it was my middle name ever since birth. 

I don't want to wake up. I don't want to wake up to another day that I find myself living for. Why do I find myself waking up? Why couldn't I have died somehow last night? I would like that more. 

Why couldn't I just die? I hear my mom walking into the room and I wonder what and why she wanted me up for. Couldn't she just let me sleep in? I would love that to tell you the truth.

"Come on Drew. You are leaving today. You need a head start and I know that you don't want to go but come on."my mom has a look of hope in her eyes. I shake my head fast and roll over on my side. I pulled the blankets over my head further and then I feel it being tugged away for me.

"Drew you need to start getting ready. Your plane leaving for London leaves in an hour." I look at my mom and wonder why she was trying so hard. 

An hour sounds plenty of time to me. I get my blankets from where she had put them and put them back over my head.

She grabs them again and throws them off of the bed and onto the floor. "You know what this is my last resort Drew, get your ass down stairs now or I will make you." 

I have to go to London. I signed up to go there earlier last year and had to save money to go there. Now that I am actually going there. It is stupid. I hate going anywhere now. Why can't I just stay home? Why can't I just stay in this bed?

"DREW!!! LISTEN TO YOUR MOM!!!" I hear my father yell from downstairs. I roll my eyes again but then spring up from my bed because I don't want my dad to be more angry with me. 

I slowly get my jeans on and my flannel. I get my luggage from my closet and then put it on my bed. Why am I still actually considering to go to London in the first place? Yeah it took a lot of my time and my parents time to even raise all this money. But it doesn't seem right to go. It doesn't feel good to go because now I can't go with my best friend.

"London is going to be so fun Drew," Austin says to me as he sits down in the booth, next to me. We were at Nandos and it was pretty good. Scratch that I freaking love Nandos. And so did Austin. So  here we were at Nandos. 

"Yeah I know. Just imagine what the girls look like there," I tell him. I have to admit it. I only took the trip because I thought it was cool and I wanted to meet girls from a different country.

"Bro you know what? You are some work of art. I swear I would think you were some type of freak with the camera and wanting to take pictures. But no you want to have romance," Austin was being very sarcastic as he used his hand gestures to talk.

I shrug and then watch the waitress bring our food to us.

Little did I know that was the last full night we were going to spend with each other before it happened.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door and didn't even realize that my mom had shut it before. I didn't reply but my father came in anyway. 

"Are you ready?" he asks me as if he sounded like he was annoyed.

I take my bag from my bed and then put it over my shoulder. I give him a thumbs up and a small smile. But it fades away when he walks away. I am trying Dad. You need to see that. Why in the hell could you think that I wasn't? He thought I haven't been trying to talk but I have. I use my phone to speak now but at least that is better.

My mood swings are gone well almost, to say the least. But at least I don't just throw everything around and get frustrated. I feel good right now. Maybe it will be a good day. Who knows maybe London will be good for me. There is a big chance that is unlikely to happen considering no day has been good for me in a long time. In a very long time. 265 days ago to be exact.
