Secrets and Advantages

Making It.. So Far

(A/N: Song for this chapter is Tomorrow Never Dies by 5 Seconds Of Summer.. because it's amazing. And I'm sorry for the mispelled words as usual PLUS, I don't know if they have Starbucks in Australia so :/ ... yeah)

Marcella's P.O.V

So I would now think of my life as a survival guide while they're gone.. so maybe I should scratch the chapter tittle and make it Marcellas Survival Guide instead... but then again, I'm not stranded on an island or in a huge forest so scratch that survival guide thought. Anyways, it has been a week since the guys left and I've been making it so far. I mean, I'm slowly getting used to the fact that they aren't going to be here for the next few months but Luke has called me every day, as he promised, to check up on me and stuff so that's good. I can go ahead and say I still have no life like I did when they were here but I am as I said, slowly, getting out there.

I was on my way from Starbucks with my Orange Mango smoothie and reading everyones post on twitter when I accidently knocked into someone 'dammit Marcella, can you do anything right?' I mentally asked myself "oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" the male jogger asked as he helped me up "well, seeing that my smoothie has been spilt all over my shirt and my phone is 7 feet away without a cracked screen hopefully then I don't know" I awkwardly laughed "right. Can I get you a new shirt? Or at least a new smoothie? I mean, it's the least I could do" he kindly asked "uh, I was just headed home so it's no bother. I'll just wash up there" I answered "well here, take my number and call me if you ever change your mind about that smoothie" he winked and handed me a piece of paper then started running again "I didn't even catch your name" I yelled after him "Robert!" he yelled back "Marcella!" I yelled after him and I heard him laugh. I then realised I still didn't have my phone so I looked around for it, I was glad I had a case on it so it wouldn't crack. I found it and it was spotless, I took a sigh of relief and started walking home again.

When I got home I quickly took off my smoothie shirt and changed into my Green Day band shirt "you know what? I'll just take a shower" I thought out out loud. So I went to the bathroom, shut and locked the door, then went on the do my lady things that ladies do.. I mean take a shower, if you didn't get that.

When I got out I blow dried my hair because I like blow-drying it, put on a pair of sweats and my Green Day t-shirt on and went downstairs to get a banana. When I got downstairs I noticed the piece of paper that I had layed on the table from Robert, was it? 'Hmm, it wouldn't be so bad to go get a smoothie with him, would it?' I asked myself as I picked it up and un-folded it. He had his number written down and Robbyxx underlined above it. I smiled to myself "nah, he seemed like a nice guy" I said as I picked up the phone and dialed his number.. "Hello?" he answered "hey, it's Marcella. The smoothie girl" I laughed "oh hey, did you change your mind about the smoothie?" he laughed "yeah, a smoothie wouldn't be to bad. I mean, as you said, it is the least you can do" I smiled and started slowly pacing back and forth with the piece of paper still in my hand left hand "ah, ok. How about tomorrow around nine a.m.?" he asked "sure, sounds great. I have to warn you though, I am not the happiest person early in the morning" I laughed "oh come on, nine isn't early and plus, that isn't anything a little walk can't fix" he stated "nine is early for me and you didn't say anything about a walk" I said "well be ready to walk to Starbucks at nine in the morning because we are" he said "ok, I'll be up, I promise" I smiled "okay, see ya then" he said "but you didn't even get my adress" "just text it to me" "ok, well, see you tomorrow" "ok, bye" "bye" I hung up.

I texted him my adress then went and layed in my bed after eating a banana. I layed there for two hours thinking of what could be made out of tomorrow then Luke called. "Hey Marcella, how's it going?" he asked when I answered "everything's fine, how about you?" "good, nothing has really changed. I mean, we've met the One Direction lads and crew and they're really great and that's it. We have our first show in a week" he answered "well that's great Luke, I'm happy for y'all" I enthused "thanks Marcella, I just called for a quick minute to check up, I'm actually a bit tired so I called before I went to bed since it's getting late" he spoke "well ok then, I'll talk to you tomorrow, goodnight" "goodnight, I love ya sista" he sang in an almost girly voice "I love ya to brotha" I laughed into the phone "alright, bye" he laughed "bye". Well, with that I went to bed in hope of sleep and hoping my excitment wouldn't get the best of me so I could actually go to sleep and actually wake up at 8:30 the next morning.
