Dreams Do Come True

Chapter 7

I wait for Celine in the band room. I have to run through and check a few things before we leave since Mr. Fallon left early to be at home with his family. He asked me to close up the school. Celine comes walking out, "I'm ready."

"Ok, I have to finish up a few things here first. If you want to follow you can."

"Why not." Celine smiles and follows me out into the hallway. I walk over to the office and make sure the lights are off and the door is shut. I walk in the front entry way and lock all of the outside doors and auditorium doors. I go back stage and turn the lights of their and in the hallways. I lock all of the band room doors including Mr. Fallon's office. I then turn off the lights and we get in my vehicle. I start to drive off, "So where would you like to go?"

"Well McDonalds is sounding really good right now."

"We can go there." We arrive at McDonalds, "So what would you like?"

"Hm, I'll have a Big Mac." 

I order both of our meals then drive ahead to pay and pick it up. Celine was doing her best to stay hidden by wearing big sunglasses and pulling hair over her face. I got the meals from the lady and was about to take off when I look over to see Celine staring at me through her hair. "Well, sorry but, I don't want to socialize right now." Is all she can say.

I burst out laughing, "Let's get back home and we can watch a movie and eat our food."

I leave the drive through and go back to my house. We get out, I lock the car then we go inside.

"What movie do you want to watch?" I ask as Celine is taking out our food.

"Well, knowing us we probably won't end up watching most of it since we may start talking or fall asleep in the middle since we have both had a long day. Do we just want to turn on "The Office" and call it good?"

"Sure, we can do that." I sit down and we start to eat. We finish up and it's already been a half hour. It's currently midnight. "I'm so tired." I say as I yawn.

"Me too, it's quite late. Maybe we can hang out more tomorrow."

"Yeah, I agree. You can sleep in the spare bedroom. It has clean sheets and a good pillow." I laugh. 

"Ok, goodnight!"

"Goodnight, thank you for everything!"

"No problem dear!" 

I go into my bedroom after throwing away our garbage and turning off the TV and lights. I plop down onto my bed and look at my phone. I take time to message back all of my friends. I also go to Facebook to decline all of the requests since I don't seem to know any of them. I turn off my phone then put it on the charger. I then roll over, then it hit me. I'm working for Celine Dion. Someone I have admired all of my life. She gave me this opportunity and I don't want to let her down. Two more days of concerts, then a few free days, and then I will be living in Celine Dion's home. Wow.

We wake up in the morning and decide to get going. We dress, eat, and check our phones. It's already eleven in the morning, her concert is at eight tonight, and we need to be there by five. Six more hours of freedom. "Hey Celine, what would you like to do?"

"Let's go to a park and walk around on the trail."

We get back home around three. Yeah, we sort of lost track of time. I go into my bathroom to get ready and Celine does the same. We decide to stop at Starbucks on the way to the school so we leave a bit early.

We arrive at the school and continue our normal routine. I run around and make sure everything looks ok. Celine does a soundcheck then gets ready. I come in and go backstage with her then announce her. She goes onstage and does her thing then we finish and head home. We go to sleep and wake up the next day.

It is currently Saturday morning. One more day with a concert, then it is two days free, then we leave for Vegas. And within those two days, I have to tell everyone close to me my new job and that I am leaving. 

Celine and I are both sitting on the couch when my phone buzzes with a new text message. I go into my messages to find that Mr. Fallon messaged me. "Come to the school around two today."

I reply, "Ok."

I wonder what for. "Hey Celine, we have to be at school at two today, Mr. Fallon just messaged me."

"Wonder why," She says questioning. 

"No idea." We slept in this morning and finally woke up at ten. We've been on our phones for an hour already to try and keep from getting bored. Celine and I both start to get ready. I straighten my hair. I wear a pair of skinny jeans and a loose blue blouse. I put on a pair of silver heels and my glasses that I occasionally wear. I finish it off with some jewelry. 

"Celine, you ready?" I call to her.

"Yeah, on my way out."

We both get in my vehicle for the third day in a row and I drive us to the school. There are quite a few cars up front. I become suspicious but don't think too much about it.
