Second part of the interlude :) enjoy
Drake stepped out of the shower, feeling infinitely fresher than he had waking up on his backseat. He stepped up to the sink with the mirror above it, and put his hands on the sink, leaning against it as he looked into the mirror.
"Drake Parker, this is your life," he sighed to himself, seeing his reflection do the same. He put his clothes on and went back to his room.
Drake wondered how much easier his life would be if he had never taken that advice from Mindy one night all those months ago. He wouldn't be dealing with all this shit, and he could go with whoever he wanted without needing to get attached.
But then again, it had been this situation that had taken him to her in the first place. He realised what he had to do.
She picked up after a couple of rings. "What do you want?" she said in an unusually icy voice.
Drake was a little taken aback. "Uh, hey, Mindy, how are-" he began.
"What do you want?" she repeated in the same icy voice.
"Um, I was wondering if you wanted to get together and chat? I'm in a bit of a difficult place, so yeah," he said, confused at her coldness.
"Well, I guess I can't turn down an invitation from the magnificent Drake Parker," she said snidely.
"Uh, okay great, so meet you at the Premiere, say 15 minutes?"
"Whatever," was the last word he heard before he heard the line go off.
"Hello?" he said into the phone, but he knew he wouldn't get an answer. He'd heard the sound of someone hanging up too many times to not recognise it. He closed the call on his end, and grabbed his keys.
Time to go back to the start.
Okay, at the end of the update before this one, I said that I would put this second part of the interlude out, then follow it up with two more full chapters to close it. Well, I goofed. Now that this interlude is done, I have three more full chapters that have been drafted, and I'm planning on another one after that, which actually will close it out.
Also, with the expansion of this fic, it is looking more and more like it will be fully completed by the end of next week. I need time to go over these next chapters I've drafted, plus I'm planning on starting a couple of new fics while I'm doing all that. Tomorrow is the weekend for me (different timezones and all) so I might post up chapter 8 then. Reviews and the like are appreciated :)
