Chapter 33

2 weeks later

Poppy and I were laying down in the grass outside and watching the clouds.
"Laurel come here for a second!" Brendon shouted.
"I'll be right back." I told Poppy, hopping up from the ground.
I walked into the house and saw Brendon anxiously sitting at the table. He patted the chair next to him quickly, motioning for me to come sit. He was biting his lip trying not to crack a smile and his leg was bouncing up and down.
"What are you so excited abo-" I started asking before he whipped out a CD.
My eyes widened.
"Wait is this..." I started to say until Brendon cut me off.
"The demo of the new album?! It sure is!" He finished.
"No!" I exclaimed.
"Fuck yeah!" He replied.
I jumped up out of my chair.
"Can I tell Poppy?" I asked.
"Yeah but she has to keep it a secret... or you'll both be locked in the basement where I keep the rest of the brainwashed cult members!" He joked.
I laughed and headed outside. I motioned for Poppy to come towards the door with a smile from ear to ear.
"Damn I've never seen you this excited." She said.
I grabbed her wrist and yanked her inside with me.
"What was that for?" She asked.
I ran over to the table and held up the CD for her.
"What the hell is th- OH!" she shouted.
"Hell yes! Come on! Upstairs!" I demanded.
She followed me up the steps and I popped in the CD to my radio/CD player. Within the first five seconds, I was already enjoying it. This is amazing.

Poppy and I listened to the entire thing in one sitting and by the end we were laying down on my bed, speechless.
"Holy shit... wow being best friends with your favorite celebrity's daughter really pays off." She said, breaking the silence.
I laughed and nodded my head in agreement.
"That. Was. Fucking. Awesome." I said.
"Agreed." She answered.
I grabbed the CD and put it back into the case. We walked downstairs where Brendon was sitting on the couch.
"So... what did you think?" He asked anxiously.
All Poppy and I could do was smile widely.
"Um... I'm guessing you liked it... a lot?" He asked.
"Yes!" I yelled.
"Oh I've gotta tell-" Poppy started saying before I interrupted her.
"Yeah about that. Keep your trap shut!" I exclaimed.
"But... but... why?" She asked.
"Because," Brendon chimed in, "the album comes out in two weeks. And we're having a listening party here at the house so you can invite school people, Sarah can invite her friends, and I can invite my friends and it'll all be amazing." He explained.
"Good enough for me!" She said.
Sarah came downstairs and we all sat down and talked about the songs. After hanging out and playing with Larissa, we all decided to have a movie night. Brendon texted Dallon, Kenny, and Dan. All of us ran to the local convenient store afterwards. I grabbed handfuls of Airheads and multiple bags of gummy bears, gummy worms, and Sour Patch Kids. Poppy grabbed assorted bags of chocolate, Sarah got the popcorn, and Brendon got the chips. We checked out and drove back home quickly. The guys were already waiting in the driveway when we arrived.
"Where the hell have you guys been?" Dan joked.
"Hey, watch it. We were getting goodies at the store for tonight and if you keep that up, you're not getting any." I replied.
"Well damn okay!" Dan said back while laughing.
We all got inside and put the popcorn in the microwave. I opened up the chips and candy, then put them down on the coffee table in front of the couch. Poppy and I went upstairs to change and hurried back downstairs. Sarah had just put Larissa to sleep and we all sat down after grabbing pillows and blankets. Dallon sprung up and turned the lights off before the first movie started.

I woke up laying on Kenny's lap with popcorn all over me. My hand was in the bag of gummy bears and Sarah was laying on top of me. I took my hand out of the bag and checked the time on my phone. It was three o'clock in the morning. I groaned as I muted the repetitive music playing on the movie menu. We watched The Breakfast Club, Nerve, Up, and Split. I thought about all of the inside jokes that had been made and questioned how I ended up on the sofa when I was on the recliner. My eyes closed as I slipped back into the darkness of sleep.

The sun was shining through the window down on me when I woke up. I smiled and stretched out on the couch, letting out a yawn in the process. Brendon was sitting at the table on his phone and Sarah was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Poppy was also on her phone at the table with Brendon. I was laying down and admiring the beautiful weather when Penny hopped onto the couch and starting licking my face. I laughed and combed through her hair. Soon enough, Bogart joined in too.
"Yes, yes good morning to you too!" I greeted happily.
"Well look who's finally up." Brendon said.
"Oh please, how long have you been up for?" I asked.
"Well, Sarah got up first. She heard the guys leaving and mumbling multiple swear words as they tripped and ran into things. Your friend here woke up next, and I woke up to the sound of them giggling and bonding over coffee." He explained.
"Well how long ago was that?" I asked.
"Let's see... I got up an hour and a half after them and that was at nine." He answered.
I checked the time on my phone. It was only ten-thirty. I rolled my eyes and stood up to go sit down with them. Poppy went home after breakfast and soon after, our family went to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner tonight. I went upstairs when we got home and played the new songs. I smirked and fell back asleep as the music was now only an echo.
