Drummer's hit harder

Chapter 2~

*Their still living in Chicago since I don't know when they moved to California.*

Charlie walked back over to them a couple minutes later. Soon enough, Drew walked over and told Cali that she have a five and a half week leave. She looked over to Charlie and he just smiled innocently at her. "Fine," She groaned. Dirty was silently celebrating in the background. Cali went home and packed for Chicago.

~~~~~~~Cali's POV~~~~~~~

I sighed once I got off the plane. I started to look for Charlie but I couldn't find him anywhere. Just great, I thought. I caught a cab and went to my parents house.

After a very long greeting from my parents, Charlie texted me and told me to go to the closest Starbucks. I sighed thinking of ways to strangle him while walking. I reach Starbucks, walking inside and up to the counter "Can I get a Caramel Frappuccino?" I ask the cashier, taking one of the headphones out "Yes, ma'am. Will that be for here or to go?" "Here, please." "Okay, that'll be 5.99." Taking out a 10, I hand it to the cashier and he hands me back change. I go sit and take out my phone, scrolling through Twitter. My coffee arrives and I sit and drink in silence. Sighing, I realize I've been here for fifteen minutes and Charlie hasn't shown up, so I finish my drink and go to throw it away. I go back up to the cashier and order one more to go, and hand him the change from earlier and two more singles. He hands me my drink and I turn to exit. As soon as I walk outside, I bump into two strangers, spilling my coffee all down the front of my shirt. I bend down to grab the cup and hit heads with one of the strangers. Having to tilt my head back to look up, I cant help but notice how good looking he is. Everything about him seems perfect. His brown hair. His reddish stubble. His tattoo sleeves. Even his eyes are amazing.

"Oh, god, I'm so sorry," He says picking up the cup that's dripping with coffee.

"No, its my-"

"I bumped into you. Here, let me buy you a new one. Joe, you coming with?" He turns to the other stranger. A tall, kind of built guy with brown curly hair tied back.

"Nah, see ya later Andy," 'Joe' turns and walks away while he does a little wave and says bye.

"So, uhm, I'm really sorry about getting coffee all over your shirt." He scratched the back of his neck and had a guilty look on his face. It was honestly adorable. "Here take this," He slides off his jacket, handing it to me.

"Thanks" I push my arms through the sleeves, rolling them up a little since it was big on me.

"So, I'm Andy" He says as we walk into Starbucks together.

"I'm Cali" I say as we reach the counter.

"That's one kick ass name" He smiles and orders another coffee for me and a tea for himself.

"Thanks" We walk over to a table and sit down. After a couple minutes, we started to make small talk which turned into full blown conversations. He told me all about himself and vise versa. After what seemed like hours of talking, we pretty much knew everything about each other. Soon, we both had finished our drinks and stood up to throw them away.

"So, uhm, I was wondering, if you would like to maybe, do this again sometime?" He smiled nervously and had a hopeful look in his eyes.

I smiled up at him, "Sure."

"Whens good for you? I'm free execpt for Thrusday."

I mentally run through my scheduale and figured that my only free day was Friday. And that was four days away. I quickly snap back into reality when I realized that I hadn't answered Andy yet. "How's Friday sound?"

"Friday sounds great. Can't wait," He says with an adorable smile. I jot down my phone number on his hand and walk out of Starbucks after him promising to text me. Rushing back to my parents house, I realized that I can't wait for Friday to come.

~~~~~~~Andy's POV~~~~~~~

I walked out of Starbucks with a smile on my face. The last hour and a half had been perfect. I've honestly never met a girl like Cali. I know that sounds like a cheesy thing to say but its 100% true. Being in Fall Out Boy meant that we got to meet a lot of people. And a lot of the fans were girls. But none of them seemed as amazing as Cali. I snapped out of my thoughts once I realized that I had reached Pete's house. Even though we're on a hiatus, we still hangout. We're pretty much like a family. I walked inside knowing that the door was unlocked and was greeted by Pandora. I heard noise coming from the basement so I walked down there and saw the rest of the guys and Charlie and Dirty.

"It's about time Hurley showed up!" Pete shouted. They all turned towards me with suspicious looks.

"Dude what happen to you? You've been gone for about three hours. I thought you were just going to get tea from Starbucks." I saw Joe glance at my left arm. The arm with Cali's number on it. I quickly crossed my arms, trying to hide it from the rest of them. Joe smirked and gave me a look saying 'We'll talk about this later'.

"Like you said, I went to Starbucks."

"For three hours? And weren't you wearing a jacket? Ok, what aren't you telling us?" This would be the perfect time for Patrick to shut up. Joe quickly noticed my nervousness and spoke up, "Can I talk to you for a sec Andy?" I nodded and followed him outside to the front yard. We started walking down the sidewalk for a couple minutes in silence until he cleared his throat. I looked up at him and saw that he had on the smirk from before.

"So what's her name?"

I gave him a confused look, "What do you mean?"

"The girl from Starbucks! That's obviously her phone number on your arm," He gave me a 'Duh' look. I looked at him for a moment to see if he was being serious. And that's all I saw, seriousness. I sighed and mumbled, "Cali."

"What?"

"Cali," I said again, only a little bit louder this time so he could hear me.

He smiled, "Now that is an awesome name!" I laughed at him since he looked like an idiot. "So when are you two getting together again?"

"Friday"

"Sweet. Oh and Pete wants us to meet someone that he might sign to DecayDance on Thrusday when we're done." I nodded and we turned around to walk back to Pete's house.

"Another thing, you might want to text her before she thinks you lost interest in her." He smirked again.
