Drive // Mitchel Cave

Chapter Eight ~ Friends with Celebrities

I wake up extremely happy. I look at the clock and notice I woke up before my alarm so I open my phone and put that alarm on snooze. I scroll through my Tumblr for an outfit idea today. I finally found a preference so I hopped out of bed and went over to my closet. I turned my speaker on and started blaring "Dance, baby!" by Boy Pablo because it wakes me up and puts me in a good mood to start my day. I found my outfit and laid it on my bed. It was a pair of light wash jean shorts, a plain white ribbed cropped top, a cream colored cardigan, and my white converses. I put it on and was quite satisfied with this outfit. I took a mirror selfie and posted it to my Instagram.

I walked down stairs being greeted by my dad. He was making pancakes which means it's gonna be a good day. I grabbed two plates for him and I and set them next to the stove. He smiled and placed the pancakes onto the plates. I grabbed both the plates and walked over to the kitchen island and set them down. I sat on the stool while my dad stood across from me.

"Hey dad, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"What's up sweetheart?" He asked back

"Mitchels band has a small concert tonight at the Peppermint Club. Can I go?" I smiled innocently.

"Well what time?" He questioned.

"Well, they want me to go after school to learn somethings about the music business. It doesn't cost anything and you can come too if you want!" I proclaim trying to have him say yes.

"Okay, you can go. Only if you bring me back some merch." He chuckles

"Aww thank you, thank you, thank you!" I say running over to give him a hug.

"No problem. Just stay safe, Okay?" He asks.

"I promise I will!" I happily say while we do out secret handshake.

I run upstairs to my room in excitement. I put on "Bleach" by Brockhampton and started packing my bag. I went into my bathroom and started putting on some of my makeup and using the restroom. All of a sudden my music stopped and I started getting a call. I ran out but I missed the call; it was from Christian. He then texted me.

Christian ~ Good morning darling 😜

Me ~ Good morning 🌻

Christian ~ We were planning to go get coffee before we head off to school, you wanna come with?

Me ~ YES! I need some coffee 😤🤧

Christian ~ Okay cool. We'll be coming to pick you up in a little less than 10 minutes

Me ~ Dope! See you then

Christian ~ See you soon 🥀🕊

I unpause my music and head back into the bathroom, finishing my makeup. I grabbed my laptop and wallet and went down stairs. I didn't realize my dad had already left but he placed a note next to my keyes on the table.

"Don't have to much fun tonight sweetheart. If anything happens, just call me and I'll come pick you up. I love you! Here's some money for tonight! Don't forget, buy me something! Love, dad. <3"

I loved how he would always write little notes or letter to try and encourage me and make my day brighter. I loved being able to live with my dad and not have to worry about being annoyed by Jax or if I was going to get beat by my mother when she got home from selling drugs. I loved my dad so much and I never could wish for anything else because he's the only family I want.

I noticed a familiar car had pulled right up to the front of my house. I looked out my window, noticed the driver of the car and ran over to grab my keys and locked the door behind me. I walked down my front lawn and jumped into their car.

Christian allowed me to ride shotgun this time and I thanked him. I took a video of us in the car and posted it to my story. They loved making stupid poses and faces in my pictures and videos; it was annoying but I loved it. These boys are really changing my life. I'm not saying I hate it, I'm just saying, I'm not used to this much popularity.

Already, just from last night, I gained about six hundred new followers. I got DMs and comments asking "Are you and Mitchel dating!?" or "Who are you and why are you hanging out with my husbands!?" I was getting a couple kinda threats, I guess you could say. Mostly stuff along the lines of "Fight me!" or "You're just doing it for the clout!" or "Haha, Faker!" I don't know, but I guess that comes with the roll of being a girl and being one of their genuine friends. That's just how people are these days apparently. Fangirling so hard that they try and fight someone or they send death threats. It's just sad that, that is society now and that's practically normal.
