Powerful Promises

Chapter 1

The beachy air, little town markets, and knowing everyone in town. These are the perks of the town, Appledale. But not anymore, cars with screaming girls following a big black Range Rover clear the streets and sadly my best friend was one of them. I sit at my porch reading as the car of screaming teenagers pasts by, Chloe stops running and opens the gate to my house, painting. "Hey Chloe are you ok?"

"Ok?... I FEEL GREAT! I just RAN AFTER LUKE HEMMINGS! LUKE HEMMINGS!!!"

"Well I hope you had a nice time running after some guy."

"Andy what do you not understand he's not just some he is... lets reading the list, hot, sexy, funny, kind, can sing,not a Hollywood jerk, Australian do I need to go on?"

"No he sounds dreamy."

"So you have a little crush on him now too?"

"No, sorry."

"I give up your hopeless you won't let one dreamy pop star be your crush! What the hell is wrong with you! You have a chance too, he's eight teen and so are you what a coincidence!"

"Look I have to go to work at Tide Cafe, if you want me to come with you to his trailer call me, ok."

"YES! Ok I'll see you later, I'll walk out with you."

We walk pasted my gate and then go our separate ways i head down to the Tide cafe which is next to the beach so I have to walk at least 5 blocks to get there. As I start my shift I check out the beautiful ocean sun set. Thats why I love working here it's just so gorgeous. I come to my first customer of the day and do the usual waitress intro.

"Hi my name is Andy I'll be your waitress for the night, do you want to start with drinks?"

The man was hiding his face behide sun glasses and a hood. He played with his fork nervously and kept looking up and down at the menu and never at me. Finally he turned his head pulled down his sun glasses and said, "I would love and ice tea, thank you." I knew that voice anywhere from Chloe's phone that was the voice of Australian, Luke Hemmings. I come back with Luke's tea with a note i slipped with the cup that said 'don't worry I won't tell anyone your here.'

"So, Sir what would you like to order."

He looked at me then at the note, and answered, "I'll have the Appledale famous burger."

"Coming right up love." I joked at least I think that it was funny, it may have been stupid wait love is british OMG ANDY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. Well it was to late now. I headed back over to his table and handed him his burger,"Hope you enjoy. Do you need anything else?"

"Well I was wondering if you could sit and talk for a bit, mate."

"Of course I would love to."

"Why didn't you tell the paparazzi, or your best friend or someone, usually someone tweets about me being here, or there, or anywhere."

"Well no offence but I'm not that big into the Pop Star life I don't really keep up with celebrities I focus more on myself."

"Good for you, how old are you by the way? You seem way to mature.

" I'm eighteen, so I guess thats old."

"No way so am I. Andy is it, I would really like to hang out with you more can I have your number?"

"Luke Hemmings asking for my number I think I'm going to faint, haha no I'm just kidding."

I wrote my number on a piece of paper and then handed to Luke, he handed me his number and told me he'll see me soon. I think he'll see more than soon, this place is a small town. I go back to busting dishes and working at the place I find as my second home.
