Meeting You || 5sos

A week has gone by. Which means one week closer to my birthday. Most teenagers would be excited about their birthday coming up but I'm not. Ms. Wright told us that since Stacey is eighteen and I'm going to be seventeen that we either have to get kicked out or put in a foster home for good, And believe me I don't want either of those things. I've always feared the idea of a foster home. Mainly because it means that me and Stacey might lose each other.

To take my mind off things I snuck out my window to take a walk. Usually I would worry if Ms. Wright would come in to our room and find me missing, but this time I didn't care enough to even lock my bedroom door.

I liked it when I took walks. I like to shut my brain down and let my body roam around the city since we lived a little off the middle of it.

I've been walking for about two hours now and it's starting to get dark so I decide to go back home.

I climb up the fire escape and crawl into my window only to find Cody sitting on my bed with a small smirk. I can feel all of the blood from my face drain.

"So that's where you've been, out in the city huh?" He gets up and walks to the door. I really didn't expect him to be here. He barely ever talks to me, why would he be in my room? "Please don't tell Ms. Wright! She'll kill me if she found out that I snuck out!"

"Ok I won't say a word, but it'll cost you." I don't really care what it would cost me, I'll do practically anything to prevent from Ms. Wright from finding out my little secret.

"How much?" I try to keep my cool and negotiate with him.

"Twenty and you have to make my bed everyday this week." I don't think that was a bad deal, besides the fact that I'm going to need every single penny that I get.

"Hmmm how about I do all of your chores for a week?" That's pretty much the best I've got right now.

"Deal! I'll give you the list of them later tonight!" He yells as he makes his way out of my room. now that that's settled all I have to do is get ready for my shift at work and my day will soon be over.

-

Work was highly slow today so I am both glad but a bit disappointed. I'm glad because I didn't have to work much an I still get paid but sad because I didn't get much tips which I usually do everyday. But I'm just grateful that I got some tips. Since me and Stacey worked the same shift we got out the same time.

"So... how's your day been?" I asked with a big smile and leaned in a little.

"It's been ok I guess." She replies with a small laugh.

"So... little less than a week left until my birthday..." I trailed off as I turned to face towards her and started walking backwards since the sidewalk was pretty empty.

"I know, and I also know that I have a plan already, but you don't get to know what it it because I know how much of a wimp you are at taking an adventure. For all you know we could be going to the other side of the world, or the other side of the street." She spoke rather loudly with a proud smile on her face. I was never really good with surprises, I always found a way to know what was going on with them. But I feel like this time it's different.

"Where would you like to live?" She spoke up after a few moments of silence.

"Somewhere far away from this place." I nodded my head toward the orphanage building as we made our way up the steps to the front door of it.

"Alright." Was the only response I got from her.

-

The rest of the night consisted of me watching some more videos of 5 seconds of summer only to find myself searching them up on google. I was surprised when I clicked on a tumblr post and saw that they were spotted here in New York, chances are if I roam off again like I usually do I could meet them. Ha! As if.

"What are you doing? You have a stupid look on your face!" Asked Stacey from the other side of the room.

"Oh nothing, I'm just looking at this band." I look up from my phone to face her.

"What band?" I knew she was going to ask that question.

"5 seconds of summer." I turn my phone around so she can see their picture.

"Oh I heard they were staying here for a couple of days!"

"I know." I gave her a small smile and locked my phone.

"Do you also know that I could get us some concert tickets for this one show they're going to do here if you like them that much that you have them on your phone?" I looked up to her with my eyes wide open.

"But what about is saving up to get out of here?" I looked at her shocked.

"You don't worry about that, I've got everything settled!" I could tell by her smile that she's excited about all of this, I bet I must look the same or even worse than she does.
