Day 2 Part 2
-----

Mitch pulls me until he allows me to walk beside him.
"Where are we going?" I ask,
"You know the lock bridge in france?" I answer with a 'mmhmm'.
"Well in Australia have their own little version." We all turn a corner to see a wire fence with locks covering it. We all have 1 each and place it on, secretly i snuck a second and carve letters into it. M+S=D. Mitch+Scott=Danice. My dads almost cry of joy and we all group hug. Sappy i know but it works to calm them down,
"Lets get to the hotel." I state pushing Scomiche forward.

"So Dee what was that at movie world hey?" Mitch asks sitting on our bed.

"What was what?" I ask acting innocent,

"You know what missy." Scott sasses sitting next to Mitch.

"Fine, while i was with hi-" I am interupted by a knock on the door, I run and open it to see Caleb.

"Hey you forgot this." He passes me my giant tiger and leaves, I shut the door and slide down the back of it.

"What happened?" Both my parents ask.

"Well I won him a small toy so he went and won me a large one. Thats all."

"No it isnt, did he kiss you?" How can Mitch tell? I dont answer with words but hide behind my toy.

"HE DID! OUR BABY GIRL GOT KISSED!" Scott squeals, inappropriate dads. I tell them how my day went when Caleb texts me.

Caleb: I know i should of done it earlier but, will you be my girlfriend?

Mitch steals my phone and examines all of our messages,

"Say yes." He throws my phone back to me and what i wanted to answer was yes already so I do so and I leave to watch Kung fu Panda. After awhile it gets boring so we all decide to swap it with Karate Kid, Scott runs to a shopping bag and pulls out popcorn while Mitch does what he usually does. Coach us.
"Come on Scott, quick quick quick. Lets go people. Dee I dont see those knees up, go go go!" Once we are sitting down we laugh, Scott and Mitch are either side of me shoving their hands into the popcorn bowl on my lap. 30 minutes in and the boys get bored, suddenly Scott jumps up with an idea, I can tell what it is by the look in his eye.

"Scott dont you think about it." I turn to Mitch and he nods, they move and i leap for Mitchie. Scott grabs my waist and doesnt let go while Mitch swaps Karate Kid for SpongeBob. It starts playing and i am dropped onto the lounge in my original place, i sigh making us 3 laugh.

"What am I gonna do with you 2?" I ask still laughing,

"What your gonna do is be quiet so we can watch our movie." Mitch sasses back, 10 minutes in and they are both asleep.

"Sleepy heads." I mutter changing the movie to a horror one i watched at the orphanage. Unfriended. I love how the guy puts his hand and throat onto the blender blades and how the girl puts that curler in her mouth and burns her throat. Its funny. Whats not funny is Scomiche waking up to a scream and get really angry at you. Thats quite scary actually, always getting death stares, them not answering to you, them completely ignoring your existence. Finally I get enough and walk onto the balcony, its so calm and pretty when its night. All the lights glowing like the stars, i pull my violin out of its hiding spot behind a pot plant. I start playing A Team by Ed Sheeran to myself and hum along, after the first verser i start singing,
"And they say shes in the class A team,
Stuck in her daydream been this way since 18,
But lately her face seems slowly sinking wasting,
Crumbling like pastries,
And scream the worst things come free to us." I hear a door open but choose to ignore it,
"'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside."
"For angles to fly." Mitch sings in tune with me. I stop there and look out to the city, the only sound being made is the wind howling. I stand and look off the balcony to hear something i havent heard in a while. A howl, not by the wind but by a wolf. I dont know why but i feel like i need to run. Oh no not here, not with Mitch and Scott around. Randomly Scott screams at the perfect timing, probably a spider or something. Mitch runs inside leaving me a chance to run, I quickly get inside grab paper and pen, write a note saying i will be back and jump off the balcony.
