Missing Hearts

Wash Away

Robyn's POV

I took a really long shower, mainly just thinking about everything that had happened today. It hadn't been the greatest of days. But having a shower seemed to wash all of the cares away, with all the water; down the drain and into a vast, open ocean. My thoughts then lead onto how far worries and cares would go before they came back to haunt you, when I heard a familiar 'beep beep!' Of my phone. Of course I couldn't get it, but I knew that whoever it was it couldn't have been important, because they hasn't tried to contact me again. My thoughts then lead onto how much simpler life would be without technology...

"Robyn, get out of that shower now! You've been in there for nearly an hour already, some people are beginning to think your dead!"

As if right on cue, the doorbell rang. At 10:15, I couldn't imagine who it could be. Who is crazy enough to come to someone's house at gone 10 o'clock? Surely it could wait till tomorrow?

"Hello Miss Smith, could I possibly see Robyn? Is she home? I need to talk to her urgently."

Oh goodness. It's Dan. I wonder what he wants, maybe to have another go at me about tomorrow, or maybe to boast about his new best friend... I guess I'll have to go and see.

After half an hour of getting changed, doing my hair, choosing the right perfume and make up to wear and trying to cover up my puffy eyes, I went downstairs to what looked like the Queen's birthday. The dining table had a posh red tablecloth, with matching napkins, and candles with little diamanté's all over the surface. I guessed Mum had been out shopping, because I had never seen anything quite as posh or glamorous as this. Even though the room decorations were beautiful, it didn't get me out of talking to Dan. I had no idea what I was going to say or do. I'm just going to have to go for it and hope for the best, I guess.
