FAIM-ily

|ammE|

    I wake up at around 8 in the morning, determined to get over this jet lag. My tired bones try to convince me not to go anywhere. But this bitch didn't pay all this money to sleep in a hotel the whole time!

    "Come on, Danielle. If you fight through the time change, you'll feel so much better." Lies. But they work enough for me to do my makeup. I put my curly, light brown hair in a high ponytail since it's 93° F. I flop onto the hotel bed, and look at the agenda I made myself on my phone:

Road-trip Plans:
Wednesday- 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Venture the town! Souvenir shop for D&D.
6 p.m. Meet with Emma for dinner.

    Emma is my internet best friend. I found her on Twitter. She has a fan page for The Faim that I simply adore! I messaged her about 6 months ago, complementing her, and the rest is history. We FaceTime a few times a week, whenever we don't want to text or call. Emma is honestly an amazing person, and if anyone deserves to be with one of the boys, it's her. Tonight, we're finally meeting in person.

    "I'm gonna squeeze you so hard bitch" I send the message with a smile. I can't wait to finally hug her. It's almost unbelievable!

    "Just don't kill me and I won't kill you" she replies.

    I head out of my hotel room to all of the shops across town. When I step outside, I see the same taxi from yesterday. I give myself a mental high five for getting his taxi number last night.

    I tell him where I plan on going and he immediately presses the gas. For a while, I watch outside my window, seeing all of these unknown places go by. I hear the driver change the channel. I take a look at him, and he doesn't seem to be any older than 23. I wonder how he got into the taxi business. Is it to pay for college? Is it his passion? Is he being forced to join his fathers business? What if he's an undercover cop, just waiting for someone to ask the wrong question? My thoughts are interrupted by us pulling up to the shops.

    "Thank you so much. I'll give you a call when I'm done over here, if that's alright!" I ask, knowing he'll probably be okay with it.

    "Of course, any time. Thank you," he says with a smile. I give him his money with a few extra dollars. He drives away and I start my shopping.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

    "Hey Emma, what's up?" I say as I answer my phone. I'm walking by all of the shops with a few bags in hand now.

    "Hey Danni, I'm so sorry. I think I'm gonna have to cancel," she apologized.

    "What, no!! Why! Are you okay? I really wanted to see you as much as humanly possible!"

    "I know, I know. I just ran into a bit of a problem," she says sympathetically.

    "Are you okay, hun?"

    "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine! I just found this girl and she has no idea what's coming to her."

    "Emma, I swear to god if you attack another innocent person on the street, I will hit you," I threaten.

    "She wasn't innocent!!" She defends. I laugh at her logic.

    "Don't attack her. She's probably a nice person. Don't attack nice people! They're endangered."

    "No, she's a bitch, I know her personally."

    This statement makes me stop in my tracks. "Emma, where are you?" I hear faint laughing on the other end, and then she hangs up. I turn around and Emma is barrelling towards me with a huge smile on her face.

    "Emma!!" I scream and drop my bags at my feet. I hear her scream my name and then she about knocks me over. I squeeze her real tight, and laugh with her.

    "I said don't kill me bitch," Emma wheezes.

    "Sorry, Sorry," I pull away. "I can't believe we're actually meeting right now. This is so surreal!"

    "Right?! I'm so fucking happy right now, I could scream. Again," her accent rings out, but of course, here, I'm the foreigner.

   "Bitch I'm starving, let's go eat."

    "I've never agreed with something so much. Let's go."

    Me and Emma eat at the most cliche place: Outback. We both love steak more than any other food. Except for hot Cheetos. We love our snacks.

    "I cannot believe the concert is in just two days. The adrenaline is kicking in! I'm so fucking excited, I could run a marathon. And that's saying something, because I barely walk as it is," I say. Emma laughs and nods.

    "Same. I can't believe this will be your first time seeing them!"

    "I keep telling them to come to the U.S., and what do they do?? Ignore me," we laugh yet again because we know the boys try not to ignore anyone. They're genuinely nice people. Buuuut they still need to come to America.

    "If I get to talk to Stevie, I will cry. I'm just warning you now," I tell her.

    "Yes, yes. I know. You've been telling me this for two months."

    "You need to go ahead and snatch up Josh. You're not getting any younger."

    "Danielle!" She says, her mouth open. I laugh and she shakes her head. I can see her hidden smile as she starts to chuckle.

    "Why would he ever date a fan anyways. He can have anyone."

    "Em, you are such a catch. Honestly, he's MISSING OUT if he doesn't give you the time of day. You hear me?"

    "Yeah, I hear you. Now stop because I'm thinking of wedding plans, kids names, and grandkids, and you're getting my hopes up," Emma chuckles. I laugh with her and we talk about what she would name the kids.

    "Now, new topic. Should I strip at the concert to get Stevie's attention?"

    I would die if STH came to the US. That's the dream :))

    I hope you guys like this long chapter. New character, new events. :)  I'll try to update soon babies.

'Till next time, C.
