Angela slips out of bed, throwing on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Jordan is parked on the road, down by the corner. Jordan sees her running down the street, her newly re-dyed hair, now blond, streaming out behind her. They had been planning this for several weeks. Jordan's band, Residue had been given a contract with a record company in Los Angeles and Angela was going with him. As he waited for her to get to him he thought back to how they got here.
She had been sitting in loft while Residue was practicing. Jordan was singing and playing the guitar , Shane was on the drums. Tino, who'd been coming to practice and working hard for the past few months was on back up guitar. It was around 7 when the phone rang. Jordan moved slowly, curious as to who could be calling the loft.
"Hello" he answered cautiously
"yes, this is Jordan Catalono." Shooting a worried look at the band as he listened to what the man on the other end was saying
"Umm, I'd love to say yes, but let me talk to the guys first. Can I call you back?" His eyes were wide and he looked excited. Angela wasn't sure what was happening but she could tell it was a good thing.
"Ok, Thank you. Goodbye." Jordan quickly wrote the phone number down and hung up.
Turning to the guy, "We have been offered chance to go meet with a record company, play them a few songs and maybe get a deal"
The guys went crazy, all freaking out and excited. They had been waiting for this for years. Angela was excited for them.
Her bag had been packed for weeks and had sat in his car till it was time to go. She had turned 18 two weeks ago and had told Patti that she was going with Jordan. Of course that had turned into a fight, which is what led her to run out in the middle of the night. The rest of the band had flown out this morning, while Angela and Jordan were taking the red-eye out to LA. The rode in silence until Angela realized this was the last time in riding in Red.
Breaking the silence she called "Jordan?"
"hmm, yea, whats up?" He looked concerned
"I just realized we are flying to LA."
"Yea, so?" He was confused, hadn't she known that all along.
"What are going to do with Red? We aren't leaving her hear are we?" She had never thought so much about a car, but this car was Jordan's baby.
"Oh, she's staying at Shane's moms, and then in a few months we can fly back, and drive her back to LA if everything works out." Jordan smiled, realizing how much she had come to care about the car she had originally called stupid.
They pulled into the airport and swiftly unloaded the bags and checked in. 45 minutes later they were comfortably seated as the plane took off. No longer worried about Patti or Gram catching them, Angela relaxed in her seat and proceeded to take a nap.
