Lainey Marie Logan
Age: 17
Hair: Brown with streaks of blonde
on the top
Eyes: Brown
Height: 55
Hometown: Boston, Mass.
(In a three bedroom apartment that Lainey shares with her mom and twin brother in Boston. It's not much but its home.)
"Mom wants to know what kind of pizza you want," Ian said sticking his head into your room. "It being your last night here she said your choice."
Lainey looked up from what she was doing. "Ummmm just cheese!"
"I should have known," and with that he left laughing. She went back to looking down at her suitcase. She began to throw a few pairs of jeans, shorts, skirts, shirts, tanks, shoes, etc. and the other necessities into her suitcase. An hour later that's still pretty much all she had done but now Lainey was attempting to shove things into a duffle bag. She had to take a moment to laugh at the situation - a seventeen year old girl leaving tomorrow morning to go on tour with a group of guys she have never met before only to spend the whole summer baby-sitting their younger brother so the whole family could be together, what was the term her mother had used. Oh yeah a mothers helper but she was getting paid so all in all not a bad deal.
Knock knock knock.
"Hey
mom," Lainey said as she sat on the edge of her bed.
"The
pizza is here when your ready, its in the kitchen," she said
beginning to lift some clothes and help her daughter attempt to close
the overflowing suitcase.
"Thanks," Lainey said wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"I just wanted to let you know I wont be here in the morning when you leave ok?" Lainey nodded. "Your aunt will be here with Mrs. Jonas and her son at 8 o'clock. Try to be up by at least 7:30."
"Now that is harsh mom," Lainey said smiling at her mother. She hit her daughter's head with an envelope.
"Here this came for you," she said giving the letter to Lainey. She opened it.
"Its a letter from Mrs. Jonas saying that Frankie is very excited to meet me," Lainey began raising an eye brow and laughing. She skimmed through only reading the important parts aloud. "I am to pack two to three days worth of clothes into an overnight bag and everything else in my suitcase. Anytime we reach a hotel the suitcase will be unloaded if necessary and you can exchange the clothes. Otherwise you will be sleeping on the bus in a bunk." Lainey looked up at her mom. She only smiled.
"No one said lifestyles of the famous were easy," Mrs. Logan laughed walking out. "Hey listen I'm proud of you. Remember try and have some fun, it probably won't be all work and not all that bad. Maybe you'll even meet some cute boys," she said raising an eyebrow. "Come say goodbye before you go to bed." With that she was gone. What a summer Lainey thought and rolled her eyes then continued to pack.
(In the limo driving to CT where Lainey will be joining up with the boys and the rest of the band)
Frankie sat across from Lainey looking over and quickly looking away when she would glance at him. After about a half hour of wishing her aunt had come for the ride at least instead of just seeing her off with a stranger she decided if she was going to be spending her summer with this kid she might as well talk to him. He was quiet but cute and seemed to be well behaved so maybe this wont be so bad.
"Hi, I'm Lainey. What's your name?" she asked him extending her hand.
"Frankie," he said quickly not accepting the handshake.
"So are you ready to go on tour?" she tried to keep the conversation going.
"YES!" he screamed.
Mrs.
Jonas only laughed. "You have to excuse him Lainey, he misses his
brothers when they are on tour so he gets very excited when he gets
to see them." Lainey only smiled but then directed the conversation
back to Frankie.
"So how old are you?"
"Six. How old are you?"
"Seventeen," she replied. He made a face. "I know that's old to you huh?" He shook his head.
"No. That's how old Joe is," he said matter-of-factly.
"And Joe is one of your brothers?"
"Yup." After about another half hour of small talk Frankie seemed to like Lainey and was now sitting next to her while Mrs. Jonas read a book. Lainey was now playing I spy which became very boring to her after a while considering they were in a limo so everything was black for the most part. But this was what she was here for to play - I spy and things of this nature.
After driving for a few hours the limo finally came to a stop. The door opened and Lainey stepped out running her fingers through her hair, and adjusting her ripped jeans and pink tank. She kicked a rock along the ground with her flip flop and waited for Frankie to exit, but before she could grab he dashed out of the limo and made a mad dash for a set of stairs. "Come on Lainey," he yelled. She looked at Mrs. Jonas, she only smiled and nodded.
"He seems to know where he's going, just keep an eye on him," she offered pulling some papers from her purse.
Lainey nodded. "That's what I'm here for." She tried to grab him before he got to the stairs but she just missed him and he began to climb as she heard music coming from the stage. Oh great, she thought my first day and I can't even keep him from ruining a concert. But she couldn't hear any screaming just then, "JOE!" she heard Frankie yell just in time for her to see him run to a boy in the middle of the stage who scooped him up in one arm.
"Frankie," he screamed back. Pretty soon the band had left the stage and the other two boys in the front had joined Joe around Frankie. Lainey stood there for a second not quite knowing what to do but Frankie took care of that for her. "That's Lainey," he said pointing to you. "She's my new friend. She's gonna come on tour with us." He ran over to her and grabbed her hand pulling her to the circle. Frankie tugged on another boys shirt, "Can I play your guitar?"
The boy nodded and his brown curls bounced as he took off his guitar and handed it to Frankie who sat on the stage floor and began to pluck the strings. "I'm Kevin," said one of the boys sticking out his hand. Lainey took it OWWW she got a static shock. "Sorry," Kevin said with a smile.
"I'm Nick," said another extending his hand as well.
"And I'm…"
"Joe, I know," Lainey said extending her hand.
"Ahh so you've heard of me," he said smiling at the Nick and Kevin.
"Actually no, but if I do remember correctly your name was the one Frankie screamed as he made the mad dash onto the stage." Kevin and Nick both laugh and Joe just rolled his eyes which made her laugh.
"So your gonna be looking after Frankie?" asked Kevin. She nodded.
"So how old are you?" asked Nick creeping closer. When she replied seventeen he backed off a little but that only made Kevin and Joe creep closer.
"Where are you from?" asked Joe.
"Boston."
"Say it, say the sentence," Joe screamed jumping up and down pointing at Lainey. She just laughed. She thought wow he's weird but in a funny way and cute but Kevin had that smile. It never failed to amaze her that other people found her accent to be so enjoyable.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"Okay you get to laugh but what do I get? She replied.
"I…I mean we will surprise you," said Kevin. She caught his eye and smiled at him.
"Ughhhh… fine - Park the car in Harvard Yard" (of course dropping the r's in all the right places). Joe began bouncing around and laughing and pretty soon Nick and Kevin had stopped laughing at Lainey and were now laughing at Joe.
"Kevin can you play now?" Frankie said tugging on his shirt and becoming impatient. Kevin took the guitar and handed it to Nick.
"Uh huh we were just gonna do sound check." He motioned to a chair off to stage right. "You guys can sit here while we do sound check." She whispered thank you to which he winked and Frankie plopped himself down on her lap and began clapping along.
