Well the rest of the week dragged on. Abs had called me a couple of times and we talked for quite awhile. I was really beginning to like him. By Friday night I couldn’t wait to see him again. Neither could Brittany.
When I had given her the cd she had freaked. Quite humorous actually. And then I told her we weren’t going on Friday she threw a fit. Went into hysterics.
“Brittany, if you wanna come you better hurry. I’m leaving in five minutes.” Addie and I had gone over to my house to pick up Brittany. Me and Addie share a flat. WE invited our other roommates too, but they sadly couldn’t make it.
“I’m coming!” She yelled. Then down the stairs she came. She was all decked out in black capris and a posh blue sweater.
“You look good Britt.” Addie told her. I could tell she was lying through her teeth. Addie and I both thought capris were the most disgusting thing ever invented. WE then yelled goodbye to my mum and walked out the door. We climbed into Addie’s BMW (her dad’s rich, but he still makes her work) and were on our way.
“So brittany, you excited to meet Ritchie? Abs told me he was real excited to meet you.” I told Brittany. That wasn’t true, but hey who cares.
“Oh my goodness yes. It’s not everyday you meet your future husband. I’m so glad you ran into Abs that day Lori.” Addie began silently laughing in the front seat. I shot her a look to shut-up eventhough I wanted to laugh too.
~Addie~
WE pulled up to Abs’ flat and brittany began to have second doubts. “What if he doesn’t like me? I’d just die if he didn’t’ like me.”
“Don’t worry Britt. Ritch will love you.” I tried to reassure the girl. I hoped that Abs would have some cute other bandmates. I couldn’t remember the name of the band and forgot to look on Brittany’s walls before we left to see. I knew what Ritch looked like cos Brittany carried a picture of him in the locket around her neck.
We stepped into the elevator and pushed floor 19. We rode to the top in silence. Well Brittany did. Me and Lori were making fun of boy bands and how stupid they all were. Like this one, Boyzone, and the kid named Tilky. Sounds like a teletubbie to me.
The elevator reached floor 19 and we all got off. Lori led the way down the hall to Abs’ flat. She knocked on the door once we got there.
~Abs~
I heard a knock on the door and knew it would be Lori. I was so excited. I hadn’t seen her since Wednesday when we had first met. I opened the door and there she was with two other girls. The little one I presumed was her sister brittany and the older blonde I presumed was her friend Addie she was telling me about.
“Hey Abs. This is my sister Brittany and my friend Addie.” Lori told me after I opened the door.
“Hi. Hey there Brittany. Ritch is in there waiting for you.” By that point she was screaming in excitement so we moved her inside so as not to disturb the neighbors.
“Um, she looks pretty excited to say the least.” Addie said. Brittany was still screaming and practically hyperventilating. Lori stood next to her trying to calm her down.
“So Addie, while Lori tries to calm down Brittany do you want to go meet everybody.”
“Sure,” she responded. WE walked into the living room where the rest of the band was and a few other people. I took her around and introduced her to everyone. J had seemed to disappear for the moment. When I introduced Addie to Sean she gave him a weird look. “Um, where’s your kitchen Abs. I kinda need a drink.” I pointed Addie in the direction of the kitchen. “Thanks a bunch.” While she went to get a drink I went back to check on Brittany and Lori.
~J~
So I’m standing in the kitchen minding my own business when I get hit in the back with a door. “What the bloody,” I yell.
“Sorry,” The person responds. I turn around and its that rude waitress Addie from earlier this week.
“Why are you here?” I ask her.
“Oh thanks for the hello. And I’m stalking you by the way. But I’m here cos I was invited. You’re probably here tagging along with that friend of yours.” she retorted. Man this bird has attitude.
“No. I’m here cos this is my friends party and I was invited. Unlike you who probably heard there was a party going on here and walked right in.”
“Hello, no. I’m stalking you, remember. Whatever your name is. I’m thirsty can I get a drink please?”
“No.” I replied and stood in her way.
“Just let me get a bloody drink and I’ll get out of your way. I bet the reason you don’t want me to have one is cos you need to get yourself drunk.”
“How did you ever guess? Geez you must be a mind reader or something.” By this point our voices were growing louder. With each remark she made I gave one back.
~Scott~
“Geez, who’s that screaming in the kitchen?” I asked. They were disturbing me while I was hitting on one of Abs’ friends Jamie. Man she was HOT.
Sean’s eyes grew wide. “Oh no! It’s probably J and that waitress.” He put his drink on the table and ran into the kitchen. The rest of us followed where we found J and a girl named Addie screaming at eachother.
“I think it’s safe to say, they don’t like eachother.” I whispered to Jamie. “Unlike us, who get along so nicely.” I then pulled her back into the living room so I could seduce her some more.
~Lori~
I finally got Brittany calmed down and we went to find everyone. WE walked into the living room and found two people on the couch making out. “AHHH! THAT’S SCOTT!!!” Brittany shrieked when she saw him. The two broke apart and the guy had quite a sheepish grin on his face.
“Uh, hi. You must be Brittany. Abs told us a lot about you and it’s our pleasure to meet you. Ritch and everyone else is in the kitchen. Talk to you later.” Brittany was awestruck. AT that point I began to hear loud shouting coming from the kitchen. I instantly recognized one of the voices as Addies. I grabbed Brittany’s hand and ran towards the door.
I swung open the door and hit someone. He fell to the floor and Brittany started screaming. “LORI YOU KILLED RITCHIE!!!!” A look of panic came across Brittany’s face as she knelt down next to Ritchie. She picked up his head and put it in her lap and began stroking his hair and trying to comfort him.
“Brittany, sweets I don’t think Ritchie is dead.” I told her. Addie and the other guy were still fighting. I then recognized him as the guy from the cafe that she fought with.
“Well at least I’m not in a stupid lad band!” Addie screamed.
“I sure hope you’re not. Your already ugly enough as a girl. I wouldn’t want to see you as a guy. By the way at least I don’t work at a low class restaurant.” The guy yelled back.
“Boy band!”
“Waitress!” By that point most of the crowd had dispersed except for Abs, Ritchie who was still in Brittany’s lap and me. But me and Abs were tired of their screaming too and left the kitchen.
~Ritchie~
I awoke with a pounding headache. The last thing I remember is getting hit in the head with a door. I look up a see a pair of innocent brown eyes looking down on me.
“It’s okay Ritchie. I’m here with you now.” By this point I’m very confused. Who is this strange person looking down at me. And why are J and some girl screaming at eachother?
“Um, who are you?” I ask the girl as I sit up. She looks about twelve and I have no recollection of who she is.
“WHAT?! ABS TOLD ME YOU WERE EXCITED ABOUT MEETING ME!!! LORI I WANT TO GO HOME!!! RITCHIE DOESN’T LIKE ME!!!” she began crying. I had no idea what I did wrong. She then ran out of the room crying and looking for someone named Lori.
“Good job Ritchie, just break the kids heart.” J shot me a dirty look.
“Oh why don’t you just shutup.” The girl told him. “I’m leaving now. I have nothing left to say to you.” The girl grabbed a drink and left the kitchen in a huff.
“Um, j, what’s going on here?” I ask as I stood up and grab hold of the counter.
“Well the girl who just left crying is Brittany your future wife. Remember the kid sister of the girl abs likes. And that one bird who just left is Addie. She’s such....Uh I can’t even think of the word. She’s a jerk.” I then remembered Abs telling us about Brittany.
“That was Brittany? Oh geez I’m in for it now.” I looked around the kitchen for a drink. “Maybe I should go apologize.” I pondered. But J had already left the kitchen and had left me alone.
