Broken Wings Only Fly If You Make Them

Chapter 2

Arabella's POV

The next morning, I awoke in my own bed, remembering I had gone home after the movie

I chuckled at the memory of the over sized children whining as I said goodbye. Oh, how I love those boys...

"A wedding of the damned, this razor cuts the pain right out. We're bound until the end, my love." My phone sang and I quickly answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey gurrrl!" Andy said down the line in an overly dramatic female voice.

"Have you eaten anything this morning?" I asked, knowing the direction I was going.

"....does three monsters and a Hershey's bar count?"

I could practically hear the childish grin in his voice.

I sighed and looked at my ceiling, "who permitted your over consumption of sugar this morning?"

"Me..." I shook my head and chuckled.

"Anyway! The guys wanna know if you wanna meet us at the cafe down the road from the arena. Say yes or we will come find you."

"I'll see you in twenty minutes." I smiled.

"Bye toilet buddy!" And with that, the giant child ended the call.

I sighed, shaking my head and stroking the fur of my beloved cat Bartholomew, "what have I gotten myself into?"

I quickly dressed and brushed my hair. I applied my routine make up and through my hair into a pony tail, leaving out my fringe. I pulled on a pair of acid wash skinnies, doc martins, and a Sleeping With Sirens hoody.

I grabbed my keys, fed my cat and left.

As I approached the table the guys were at, I sighed, seeing CC bouncing up and down in his seat and Andy's legs in the air as he was apparently, upside down on the booth. Good god.

"Hey!" Ash greeted, hugging me tight as I sat next to him.

"Hey." I smiled. I pointed to Andy and he shrugged, shaking his head.

"Andy, CC's about to hit your nuts." I said, smiling.

He squealed higher than I imagined he could and spun around, falling out of the booth and onto the floor. We all laughed and got stares from bystanders.

"You're a fucking liar!" He grumbled and pretended to pout as he retrieved his place next to CC.

"What can I get for you?" The waitress asked.

"I'll have a glass of chocolate milk and a small pancake stack with strawberries, please." I smiled up at her. She wrote it down and smiled.

"I'll have orange juice and the same." Ash smiled. She winked, making me snicker as she glared at me.

Everyone said their orders and she retreated to the kitchen.

"What was that about?" Jake asked.

"What?"

"That obvious snicker." Jinxx chuckled as everyone mused at me.

"She was trying to hard, that's all." I smiled innocently.

"Wow." Andy said, shaking his head.

"Pipe the fuck down, toilet buddy. You shouldn't have been allowed to order syrup." I chuckled and he pouted as the guys laughed.

The waitress returned with our check after we had eaten, and I noticed her number on the receipt.
