-Danny's POV-
A few minutes after Courtney left, the band arrived. We all headed to the basement to get ready for practice.
"Where's Courtney?" Doug asked sitting on the couch next to Whitney.
"She went home. I told her that since we just got back, she should head home and rest. Plus, I have a surprise for her at the gig tonight." I said grabbing my guitar.
"Oh…what kind of surprise?" Tom asked.
"You'll see Tomorrow."
We ran through our set for the gig which included Broccoli, That Girl, Bubble Wrap, Friday Night and Not Alone. We finished around nine and everyone headed home to rest and get prepared for the gig the following day.
-Gig Day!-
I woke up to the sound of my cell phone ringing. I looked at the caller id. 'Danny'
"Hello?" I asked in a tired voice.
"Good morning beautiful." He said in a cheerful tone.
"Morning…what's up?" I asked sitting up.
"I was wondering of you wanted to go get some breakfast?"
"I'd love to."
"Sweet. Get dressed and I'll be there in fifteen minutes." He said.
"Alright, see you soon."
We said 'bye' and hung up. I jumped out of bed and headed to the closet. I grabbed a pair of jeans, t-shirt, and hoodie. I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair, and to apply some makeup. I was putting on my socks when the door bell rang. Danny walked into my room a few minutes later.
"Hey." He said walking over to me and placing a kiss on my cheek.
"Hey. Let me put on my shoes and I'll be ready." I said getting off the bed and walking to the closet. I slipped on my adios and said:
"Let's go."
I told mom we'd be back later and then we headed to the car. We got in the car and pulled out the drive. After messing with the radio, I noticed that we were heading away from town.
"Where are we going Dan?" I asked.
"You'll see." He said never taking his eyes off the road.
We pulled up to this empty area after about thirty minutes. We climbed out of the car and he grabbed a basket out of the trunk. He took me by the hand and we walked for a few minutes, until we came to this outlook. You could see the whole city. He let go of my hand and took a blanket out of the basket. He laid it down on the ground and started unpacking some food. He sat down and patted the empty spot next to him. I sat down beside him with a smile.
"Danny…you're too sweet." I said kissing him on the cheek.
"That's what they tell me. Now, I have egg and cheese biscuits, hash browns, and orange juice." He smiled.
"Danny, did you go get BK breakfast for me?" I asked taking a biscuit from the plate they were on, still wrapped in Burger King paper.
"You know it!"
I laughed and took a bite of my biscuit. I've missed burger king breakfast. We both ate our food and sat and talked for a while.
"So, are you nervous about tonight?" I asked leaning against his chest.
"Not really, I'm just pretty excited. I've got a new song that no one knows about…I can't wait to play it." He said wrapping his arms around me.
"Oh really? What's it called?" I asked glancing at him.
"You'll have to wait and see." He said in my ear.
I looked into his blue eyes…they shone so brightly in the morning light. We stared at each other and both leaned in for a kiss. I rotated slightly, to make it easier for us both. His hand was placed delicately on my hip and my hand over his. We were broken apart by the sound of 'Born to Run' by Bruce Springsteen. Tom was calling.
"What?" Danny asked, not please to be interrupted.
"Well good morning to you to sunshine…where are you?" he asked.
"I'm busy…why?" I giggled.
"Because we need to practice for tonight…remember?"
Danny sighed, "Alright, I'll be there in about an hour."
They said bye and Danny closed his phone. He ran his hands through his hair and over his face. We decided to go ahead and leave because Tom would call every ten minutes to see where we were. We packed everything back into the basket and headed to the car.
We arrived at Danny's house forty-five and eight Tom calls later. We walked into the basement hand in hand laughing about a joke that Danny told. I went and joined Whitney ,Sarah, and Molly on the couch.
"Hey guys." I said sitting down.
"Hey!" they all said in unison.
We chat for a few minutes and then the boys started practicing. They goofed off and they practiced hard. They were in the middle of 'Broccoli' when mom called.
"Hello?" I said walking up the stairs.
"Hey hon…where are you?" she asked.
"I'm next door the bands practicing. Why?"
"I was just calling to tell you, the girls, and the whole band to come over here. I've cooked you all lunch." She stated.
"Mom! That's wonderful…when they finish, I'll tell them and we'll head over, okay?"
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
"Bye, love you"
"love you too." She said and hung up.
I walked back down the stairs and sat back down. Everyone was talking about how they sounded.
"You sounded great." Sarah said.
"Totally" Molly agreed.
Whitney nodded.
"Hey guys, mom just called. She wants all of us to go to my house when you're done practicing." I directed to the boys.
"Okay…we have to run through 'Not Alone' and we'll be done." Doug said.
They practiced their last song and we all headed to my house. We walked into the front door and headed to the kitchen. The whole counter was covered in food. There was ham, macaroni and cheese, dressing, gravy, pretty much a freaking Thanksgiving feast. Everyone hugged my mom and grabbed a plate. We all ate in the dining room so everyone could chat. Mom, Dad, and Nate, my brother joined us. Everyone was talking, laughing and having a good time.
"Danny? Have you ever noticed that Nate looks like Tom?" I asked.
Danny looked at Nate, then at Tom, "Holy crap! He does." He said laughing. The whole table burst into laughter.
"Yeah, me and Whit have decided to get Nate a shirt that says Proud to be Little Tom."
Everyone laughed. We all talked and ate more, until around four. Everyone left except Danny, so they could go get ready for the gig. Danny and I cleared the table and carried the dished to the kitchen. We washed and put them up and went and sat on the couch. We watched at Nate played a SpongeBob game on the play station. Danny left about an hour later to get ready and I headed to my room to take a shower and dress.
I climbed out of the shower about fifteen minutes later. It was around five forty-five when I finished blow drying my hair. I placed it into a ponytail and cut on my hair straightener. I applied my makeup. The usual powder, blushes, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss. I put on a black and white top, skinny jeans, and black ballet flats. I straightened my hair and grabbed my purse. I walked over to Danny's house about six. I knocked on the door and his dad answered.
"Oh, hello Courtney. Danny's in his room, you can go on up." He said closing the door.
"Thanks Mr. Jones." I said walking up the stairs.
I walked into his room to find him in boxers applying deodorant.
"Whoa." I said sitting in his computer chair.
"Oh! Hey! You look beautiful!" he said kissing me on the cheek.
"Thanks, you look pretty hot yourself." I said laughing.
"Yeah, I need to get dressed." He laughed. He walked over to his bed and grabbed his jeans and put them on, followed by a red collared shirt. He dried his hair a little more with a towel and put on some cologne. He grabbed a jacket out of the closet and we headed to Degree.
When we arrived, the rest of the band, and the girls were there. I went and joined the girls at our table right up front. The guys did sound check and talked to us for a few minutes before the manager of the club told them to head back stage. The club was filling up fast and I knew that everything was going to be great. The manager walked out on stage at six on the dot.
"Ladies and gentlemen…McFLY!" he said and the curtain rose, revealing the guys. They began with That Girl. After singing Bubble Wrap they introduced themselves. Then they went on to sing Broccoli, Friday Night, and Not Alone. Then all of the guys walked off stage, except Danny. He grabbed his acoustic and sat on a chair in front of the microphone. We were joined by Tom, Dougie, and Harry moments later.
"This song, I just recently wrote." He started.
"It's dedicated to my wonderful girlfriend, who is here tonight." He said looking at me.
"I love you babe." He said and began to play…
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you I wonder what it's like to fly so high Such a long, long way to go I wonder how they put a man on the moon Such a long, long way to go Sitting here watching the world going by Such a long, long way to go Whoa
I wonder what it's like to be home
And I don't walk when there's a stone in my shoe
All I know that in time I'll be fine
Or to breath under the sea
I wonder if someday I'll be good with goodbyes
But I'll be ok if you come along with me
Where I'm going I don't know
I'm just following the road
For a walk in the sun
For a walk in the sun
I wonder what it's like up there
I wonder if you'll ever sing this tune
All I know is the answer's in the air
Where I'm going I don't know
I'm just following the road
For a walk in the sun
For a walk in the sun
Is it true when we die we go up to the sky
Whoa
Whoa
So many things that i don't understand
Burn my feet in the sand when I'm walking in the sun
whoa walking in the sun..
Where I'm going I don't know
I'm just following the road
For a walk in the sun
For a walk in the sun
Yeah
Whoa
Whoa
He finished singing and everyone applaud. I just sat there, shocked. Tears filled my eyes. Tears of pure joy. He hopped off the stage and walked up to me. I stared up at him, into his beautiful eyes that were glassy."Well? What did you think?" he asked almost in a whisper.
"I…I loved it." I said standing up and placing a passionate kiss on his lips and hugging him.
He whispered, "I love you." Into my ear.
"I love you too."
We let go of each other and sat down. Everyone was talking and having fun, but I was lost in thought. 'I can't believe he wrote that for me. He really does love me.' I thought to myself. I then noticed the manager of the club walk over to the table. He told the guys that they did an awesome job and he wants them to play again in two weeks. He handed each of them a hundred dollars as their pay. He also told them that there would be two guys from Universal Records would be there. Everyone went crazy, they were all so excited.
About an hour later, we all headed to Lola Johnson's house. She was throwing a party for the heck of it. But she could since her parents were filthy fucking rich. We turned on Bay Street, where Lola lived.
"Wait…" Tom said from the back seat.
"Is that blue lights?" Asked Harry leaning forward in the front seat.
"HOLY SHIT!" Danny and I said at the same time.
"Bus-ted!" Dougie said sitting next to me.
We pulled into some random persons drive way and turned around. We sure as hell weren't going to party now. We then decided to go to Danny's and have our own little party.
I hope everyone ejoyed this! lol The song, as you might have guessed was 'Walk in the Sun' by the loverly McFLY. haha. And I made him play it acoustically, even though on the CD it's not. And at the end when Doug goes, "Bus-ted!" I got that from a video on youtube when they were watching Busted on TV and he goes, "BUSTED!" but it sounds like he says it bus-ted. Yeah, I'm rambling...REVIEW!!!
