Part 1.
Im at work, its a hot humid day. I started at 6 and when on my break at about 9.15. When I checked my phone there was a missed call from a private number and a vice mail. Naturally I checked my vice mail. It was a lafy called ally from the kyle and jackie o show telling me she would call back in about 10 mins. At this point I had been on break for a while and they hadn't called. I was worried they wouldnt. As fate would have it I went back to work and clocked onto my shift again not having received the phone call. Sneaking my phone into my pocket to keep on shift with me, I still gave myself hope.
Part 2.
I returned to work as normal but with my ears and mind on high alert if I heard my phone ring. Sure enough a familiar sound rang through the pocket of my pants and I began to panic. This was it.
Part 3.
Working in drive through at Macdonalds requires a headset so you can communicate with other people in the restaurant because I work independently in a room beside the main resturant. As I heard my ring tone trill through my ears, my feet ran to the front counter throwing the headset across the counter and not knowing if anyone would hand out food to the impatient cars I had left behind. Running out of the store I put the phone to my ear. "Hello?" "Hi lauren, and this is ally from the kyle and jackie o show." "Hi" At this point words were hard to form and my hands stuggled to hold my phone still. "Would you like to ask the boys a question?" "Yes! Umm omg I dont know what to ask?!" "Do you want me to give you a suggestion?" Wanting to speak to them with something that I myself had thought of, I declined. "Can I ask them to stay in Australia for longer?" "Ok great! We will call you back in about 15 or 20 minutes to talk to the boys." "Ok thank you!" Realizing that was a dumb ass question, I hung up with regret. But the looming fate of speaking to members of 5 seconds of summer still remained.
Part 4.
Walking back into the store I couldnt keep the grin off my face. I picked up the headset and went back to work. The cars in drive through began to become few. And I took the opportunity to go to the front counter and find Bronte. The only other working staff member who would understand. Explaining the situation she helped me come up with another question. A few fan girl minutes later we had ourselves what I consider a good question which I genuinely wanted to know the answer to. Once again heading back out to work I continually checked my phone. Over and ovet agaib I looked at the time. 15 minutes past. 18 minutes had past. I started to worry. 20 minutes past and took my phone out of my pocket and left it face up on the bench just starring at the screen. When suddenly it rang. I nearly dropped the food bag in my hands. I felt my face go red. And my heart rate accelerate. It was a private number. Running into the store I threw the headset once again without a care for the consequence, this was happening. I answered the call. "Hi lauren, its ally again were about to put you through, you ready?" "Yes." An issue about loud background noise soon became non problematic as I walked further out of the store away from the chaos. "Ok great you'll talk to calum and ashton in a minute ok?" "Ok" And I was on hold.
Part 5.
My heart was beating in my throat. I paced the McDonald's car park egerly awaiting - "Lauren has valled through, hi" Processing the change of music to words, I realised I was on the air. "Hi" the boys said in unison. "Hi. Omg!" The nerves were real. All I had ever wanted to was to say hi... now I had. "I wanted to ask what your favorite part of shooting the good girls video was?" "What a wasted question!" Kyle bellowed and my heart sank. "Yeah terrible question!" The boys agreed before immediately back tracking. "No just kidding, good question, ummm well it was shot in a jail, so we were stuck in a jail with about 60 girls so it wasnt the worst situation" ashton answered. The pair then convsered further with kyle and jackie o and I was put back on hold, the last thing I heard was; "No we've got Danielle who's called through." Not knowing whether to hang up or stay on the line I kept my ear to my phone. "Hi lauren!" It was ally again. "You talked to them! How was that? "Awesome thanks" "Ok bye!" And with that the line went dead. I had spoken to ashton and calum. My life was complete. Nothing would ruin my mood. I relayed the call to bronte who was insanely jealous and I told anyone who would listen. This day was one I would never forget.
It was so random but so perfect.
