Drive // Mitchel Cave

Chapter Twelve ~ Drive with Me

I was so excited because it was finally the end of the day. The start of my first ever music experience. I mean, I've been to concerts before but this, this one is full access. I'm gonna be back stage and be able to see everything that's going on. Even before the concert, I'm going for sound check and all of that. This will be such an opportunity and a half.

We met at Clintons car. He texted me earlier that we were going to go over to their house so they can change and "Perfect-up"; his words, not mine. I asked him if he could drop me off at my house so I could, also, perfect-up.

We got to my house and I hopped out of the car, grabbing my things. I walked over to the passengers side window and peeked my head in.

"Text me the address and I'll meet you there. I wanna drive myself around here for once." I said with a light giggle.

"Okay, it's not that far from here anyways so it won't be a horrible drive." Clinton replied.

"Cool! Thanks guys!" I yelled while waving and running up my driveway.

I got to the front door and watched them drive away. I put the key in the door and opened it. While heading over to the kitchen, I see a figure in the hallway to the back door. I made sure to be loud to maybe scare whoever this was. I opened the fridge and slammed it shut. I saw the figure jump and heard a laugh. It walked towards me and it just so happened to be my dad. We laughed and he brought me in for a hug.

We swapped conversations between us then I parted ways, heading to my room. I opened the room and flopped on my bed. I went to look out the window to see if the boys were still home. They were. I watched them pack some things into Clintons little car then head back inside for a bit. I finally got the location for the club and sent back a "Thank you!"

I changed into black, ripped, skinny jeans and a yellow, cropped hoodie. I shoved my phone in my back pocket and my wallet into a little, black backpack and slung it over my shoulders. I headed down stairs, saying goodbye to my dad. He gave me some more extra money and I put it into my bag. I took my keys and locked the front door, heading to my car. I stepped in and turned it on.

I looked over and noticed Clintons car was gone so they must have just left. I then got a text from Christian saying,

"We just left so we'll be at the club in about 10 minutes."

"Okay. I'm gonna get coffee first then I'll see you guys really soon! xoxo" I replied.

I remembered where that Starbucks was from this morning and headed there.

I got there and went through the drive thru, obviously. I ordered the usual, got it, and headed to the venue.

The drive was so lovely. It was so breathtaking. I wasn't used to palm trees and blue skies. It wasn't that bad of traffic either; or at least for me because New York was psychotic. I saw so many people walking along the sidewalks in their bathing suits and minimal clothing. The complete opposite of what I'm used to. It was crowded, but in a fun and entertaining way. There were people in costumes; people with big cameras; people dancing or singing. Just, everyone was having the time of their lives and it brought me such joy being able to live here.

I knew from what I've seen around here, I'm definitely going to be driving around a lot more. I want to start taking these drives at night. It would be gorgeous, especially at sunset or sunrise in Malibu. Maybe, even just Hollywood Boulevard. All the lights, people, and shops would look stunning at night. Lighting up the streets with all the coloured signs, would be so interesting. I'll have to take a night drive tonight so maybe I can drive somewhere else before I go home. I'll bring Mitchel with too because I know he'll want to come, too.

Hey Darlings!

I'm so happy because I found 5 new songs by Chase Atlantic today that aren't released anywhere! I got the whole Paradise EP and another song called Rockstar, that's coming really soon! They'er preforming Rockstar during their tour, so I'd highly recommend going to their show if you get the chance because they are preforming a lot of their underground songs!

Just a heads up for you beautiful people :]
