Chapter Seventeen:
"Ellie..Wake up!" Freddy yelled into my ear
My eyes quickly opened, erasing the memory of white waterfalls, red roses..The secret serenity that I found in my dreams. I looked up at my twin brother, and groaned..He was standing right over my face..Not a really nice way to greet the morning.
"God..What do you want?" I asked
"Dewey said he needs to see us..He has some news or something" Freddy said
"You don't think it's about a new episode of "Degrassi" or something, do you?" I asked, sitting up
"I hope not" Freddy said
"Okay..Did Marta stay over?" I asked
"Yeah..I think she's planning on living here or something" Freddy said, rolling his eyes
"Whatever..You can go over to Dewey..I'll get dressed" I said, Freddy nodded and walked off
I stood onto my feet, slowly walking my the small closet which held my clothes..Picking a pair of jeans and a "Ramones" Tee, I quickly changed. When I was finished I picked up Kayleigh and Keira, lugging them off to Dewey's next door apartment. When I walked into the room, I saw Marta and Freddy sitting on the couch near Dewey's new big screen television. Marta had
Jonathan, who is the cutest little boy on earth, in her arms. I sat on the floor near her and waited for Dewey who was standing in front of his TV, to say something.
"So..What did you need to tell us?" Marta asked
"I'll tell you in a..." Dewey said, but was cut off
'No, tell us now...I Need to get back to sleep..I need my coffee too" I said, yawning
"Okay..So, you know how we were trying to get that European Tour?" Dewey asked
"Yeah" Freddy said
"Okay..Why?" Marta asked
"Well..I just got a call from Cody Nicolas..We got it!" Dewey yelled. Marta, Freddy and I just stared in shock
"W-we..Did?" I asked
"Yes" Dewey said
"Oh my God! We're going to Europe" Marta shrieked, making Jonathan start to cry
"It's in Asia too, you know" Dewey said
"Why'd you tell us first?" Freddy asked, raising his left eyebrow
"Well..I was too excited to keep it in any longer. I found out last night and...Everyone Else in the band is on the way right now..They should be her any.." Dewey said, being cut off by a loud knock on the door
"We're going to Europe!" I shrieked, hugging Marta
"And Asia" Marta corrected me, I nodded
Dewey ran over and opened the hard wood door, to see everyone waiting there. He let them in and quickly told the news, there was a large wave of excitement. Hugs and laughing came from
every direction of the room, when Dewey finally got us to calm down, we sat on the Burgundy carpeting and smiled widely at our band leader.
"When do we leave?" Zack asked
"Tomorrow!" Dewey yelled out, excitedly
We all stopped smiling and stared at Dewey. Tomorrow? We are leaving tomorrow? How are we going to get everything ready in one day? I stood up and walked over to Freddy, who was staring in shock.
"How are we going to get everything ready by tomorrow?" I asked, my mouth hanging wide open
"Everything is being paid for by the company sponsoring us..Hotel expenses, cars, the plane ride to Europe and back..All you guys need is to pack and get money for souvenirs and stuff" Dewey said
"So, we should get going like right now?" Tomika asked
"Yes" Dewey said
"Let's get going, guys!" Leonard yelled
Everyone shot up from where they were sitting and ran out of the room. Freddy and I quickly walked to our apartment, while Marta went to pack at her house, Jonathan with her...After Sitting down Kayleigh and Keira, Freddy and I started zipping across the room. After I packed about two suitcases, I ran over to get out money, only to clash heads with my brother...We laid silently on to wooden floor, before getting onto our feet..I hit my brother on the arm.
"You should actually watch where you're going next time, Freddy..We don't need anymore head-cases in our band" I said, Freddy laughed
"Sorry..Do you have the money" Freddy asked
"That's what I was getting" I said, walking over and grabbing our jar of bills
"How much?" Freddy asked
"I'm counting...One-hundred, Six-hundred, one-thousand five-hundred..." I side, but was cut off
"Quit counting out loud! It's really annoying" Freddy said, covering his ears
"Whatever..Since we saved up all that money our ex-parents gave us...We Have about seven-thousand" I said, Freddy's eyes widened
"That is a lot of money" Freddy said, I laughed
"More than I've ever held in my hands" I said
When we were done packing, I laid on my mattress and fell asleep...Dreaming Of the trip to Europe and Asia, that I have always been wanting to take..I can't wait till tomorrow.
"Ellie..Wake up!" Freddy yelled into my ear
My eyes quickly opened, erasing the memory of white waterfalls, red roses..The secret serenity that I found in my dreams. I looked up at my twin brother, and groaned..He was standing right over my face..Not a really nice way to greet the morning.
