The next day, the boys woke up to a rude awakening. Someone had sent their alarms at 4 in the morning and that person was Fletch. He grinned as he walked into each boys room with a blow horn. Slowly, and when i say slowly, i mean s-l-o-w-l-y, got up and got ready for the big day ahead of them. But ittle did they know, not only them, but the girls were also in for a shock discovering.
Riley switched on her phone the next morning to see she had gotten 7 missed calls and 2 voice messages. She listened to them and of course,
they were from Peter. 'Please meet me at The River Cafe today at 10 for breakfast. Please Riley, it is important.' Both were the same, except one had 'please, i really want to talk to you.' added to the end of it.
She sighed and glanced at the time. 9.40. She went to her room and grabbed whatever that was lying on the floor and pulled it on. She grabbed her keys, phone and headed out. She looked at her watch. 9.55. The River Cafe wasnt that far away so she took her time.
Once there, she saw him sitting there staring out the window. Once he saw her, he stood up and greeted her. "Thanks for coming"
"...to find out how to win 2 VIP tickets to McFly's up coming concert, stay tuned." Kurtis smiled into the microphone. The red, "On Air" light swtched off and the boys took of there headphones.
"It was awesome meeting you guys," Kurtis stood up and shook their hands then turned to Fletch. "Hey Fletch, can i talkto you for a second? I wanted to talk to you about..."
Danny yawned and stretched. "Im hungry,"
"Me too," Dougie said, finishing up his yawn. "Wanna grab something to eat?"
"Sure," Tom stood up and walked over to Fletch. "Were gonna go grab a bit. Meet you back at your office in an hour."
Fletch agreed and continued talking to Kurtis and the boys left.
"So where to?" Harry asked. "McD's? If we walk fast, we'll prob just catch it before breakfast ends."
Everyone nodded and they hurriedly walked to McD's.
"So what else are we doing today?" Dougie asked, as he stuffed his mouth with french fries.
"Um, we have another interview with a reporter and then were free for the rest of the afternoon." Tom explained, taking a sip from his drink.
"Oh cool. We gonna go chill with the ladies tonight or not?" Harry asked.
"And James," Tom added.
"I wouldnt mind," Danny agreed, his mind racing back to Riley.
"Yup sure," Dougie said, thinking about Geni.
"Ok cool, well im gonna go order me another coffee then we gonna head back to Fletch's office. Anyone want one?" Harry asked and stood up.
"Me," all 3 boys said and chatted away while Harry went to order.
"So what? You just left because you couldnt take the pressure?" Riley asked, staring at him.
"Its more complicated then that," He said running his fingers through his hair. "Just give me another chance, please Riley?"
"How do i know your not going to walk out on me again?" Her voice lowered into a whisper as she thought back to when she was younger.
"I've spent 3 years trying to look for you, i wouldnt do that again." He grabbed her hand.
At first it felt cold but soon, it felt warm and comforting, just like when she was younger. Shes got her dad back. 'I have my Dad back,' She thought to herself and stood up and gave him a hug. "I've missed you," her voice all muffled as she talked into his shirt.
"Ive missed you too,"
"Where is Riley?" Dougie asked, looking at the others.
"I dunno. She wasnt home when i came over." Geni said.
"Yeah, she hasnt been home all day." Laura added.
Dougie began to worry. No one had seen or heard from her at all. He grabbed his phone out and dialed her number but her phone was switched off. "Her phones off,"
"She might be at soccer practice?" Danny suggested. trying to calm not only Dougie, but himself down too.
"All day?" Jules asked. "I doubt it, but ill call Tessa," She grabbed her phone and dialed her number.
"Hello?" Tessa asked.
"Hey, is Riley with you?"
"Riley? Nah, havent seen her all day. Why?"
"Oh just wondering. Um, if you see or hear from her, can you give me a call?"
"Sure," Tessa said. "Bye,"
"Thanks, bye." She hung up. "Nope, she hasnt seen her all day." She looked at the others who all seemed to be quiet.
"Do you think shes with that man?" Dougie asked quietly.
"Who Peter?" James said. "I doubt it,"
"But he did seem to know her name," Dougie said.
"But her last name is Poynter, not O'Connor." Tom pointed out. "Couldve been someone else."
"O'Connor was her name before our parents married." His faced gloomed.
Danny began to panic. "So what do we do?"
"What can we do?" Lacy said. "Go look for her? Were in NYC for sobbing out loud. She could be anywhere!"
"Call the police?" Harry asked.
The door opened. "Why would you call the police?"
Everyone spun around and Dougie shot up to his feet and pulled her into a hug.
"Where in the Lord's name have you been?!" Dougie questioned.
"Yeah we've been worried sick!" Danny added, walking over to them.
"Sorry... I've just be-"
"Been where?!" Dougie interrupted. "Been where huh?"'
"Been out with someone," She smiled.
"Out.. out with someone?" Danny's heard sank.
"Yeah,"
"Oh," Danny looked away.
"My dad," She walked out of the room and grabbed someones hand and pulled him in.
"Her dad?" Everyone asked.
"Well you remember Peter dont you?" Everyones jaw literally dropped. "From Orchard Beach?"
So 'Peter' is her father. Ta-da! lol
Well thats all for now. Please review.
