Chapter 2

Our hotel was huge, we've stayed in some pretty fancy places before but this was something else. It was starting to get dark out and I hadn't eaten anything since we were on the plane. Of course mum started working the second we entered the doors, straight to the production hall. Meanwhile I found my room and started to unpack my bags.
*PING* my phone buzzed. It was Kate, my bestfriend.
'Miss you already! Don't have too much fun without me will you? Facetime me when you can xxxx'. Without hesitation I called Kate.
"Oh my god you have to see this place" I almost shouted down the phone as soon as she answered.
"Jesus Jess it's 1 in the morning a little quiet please, you'll wake my whole house" Kate joked back at me. I pulled a face into the camera causing her to laugh.
"Sorry but for real you need to see this place, it's insane. Bigger than the last place! And I've only seen my room imagine what the rest of the building is like!" I said.
"Oh do show" kate answered in her poshest accent. I walked back through the room to the door.
"Ok, so you come in here and there is the bathroom" I said showing her the room to my left. The bath was massive.
"Honestly I'm probably more excited about the bath than I am the rest of the room, then you come out of here and straight in front of you is a cupboard. Installed with a safe and a mini bar inside" I said as I copied Kate's push voice. I walked through the rest of the room showing her everything as I went. It was almost 2 am in London by the time we finished talking so we said our goodbyes and ended the Facetime. I continued to unpack my bags until everything was put away. I checked the time. 8:34 pm. Time for food I think. I left my room picking up my phone, hotel keys, production hall pass and a hoodie as I left. Once I reached the hall I was greeted at the door by a young man, Nathan. As it said on his name badge.
"Can I help you?" He questioned me in his extremely deep voice. I showed him my pass without saying a word, when he opened the door I nodded to him as a sign of a thank you.
"Jess darling, over here!" A familiar voice called out, amongst the bustling crowd I saw mum with her hand in the air. She was completely surrounded by people pulling and pushing at this mannequin.
"I'm going for food, I've got my phone" I smiled simply. Mum's face didn't seem to happy by my remark.
"Can't you eat at the restaurant here Jessica I don't like you leaving during the night" mum sighed, I knew she wouldn't be happy about it. These posh hotels don't have any food I'd eat, I'm 16 I can't say I'd enjoy caviar.
"I'll be fine, call me if you're that worried. I saw a McDonald's on the way here, it's only down the road I promise I won't be longer than 15 minuets I'll bring my food back" I said hoping she'd reason with me.
"McDonald's? You want McDonald's? Honestly Jessica" she replied clearly not happy by my choice of restaurant. I smiled and turned to walk away before she could say another word.
"15 minuets Jessica no longer!" She called as I span on my heels. I laughed to myself a little.
"Of course mum" I shouted back without turning.

I pushed the large doors of the production hall open, not even thinking who could be on the other side.
"Ouch!" I heard a voice yelp, sudden panic rushed into my head. I slowly walked out of the doors to see the young man who greeted me on the way in holding onto the top of his shoe.
"Careful you could have broke my toes then!" he said whilst standing back upright. He's British.
"Sorry didn't see ya there" I replied, he pulled a confused look. We stood in silence for no longer than 5 seconds.
"And this is awkward now, goodbye...Nathan" I said whilst tapping his shoulder once and walking away. When I got to the front doors of the hotel I turned back to see him still staring at me whilst I walked. Weird. I followed the street until I saw the Golden Arches in the air. As I crossed the road a dark car came speeding past me, i jumped as the sound of the engine scared me half to death.
"Sorry girl" a young voice called out of the front window. I continued to walk through the car park and into McDonald's. Hmm no queue. I walked straight to the counter and ordered a cheese burger with 6 nuggets and a coke. Whilst I was waiting for my order two boys came bursting through the doors. They walked up to the counter ordered their food and just as the lady gave me my food one of them said.
"Hey sorry bout' back there we get a little out of hand some times" with a plain smile on his face.
"it's ok" I replied plainly. With a simple smile.
"Come again?" The boy replied immediately the smile soon disappeared form his face.
