I got home three hours later to find Jake waiting at the door. I scowled and climbed out of my truck. I tired to ignore him as i went up to unlock the front door.
"Well hello to you too," He smirked.
I snorted and tried to unlock the door. The key wouldn't go in.
He put his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heals, "I just wanted to talk."
"Well i don't want to talk," I hissed finally getting the door open.
He put his hand on my side, "Come on Faith. I didn't-"
"You didn't want one thing? You didn't try to force me when i wasn't ready?" I asked him slamming the door in his face.
I went to the kitchen. My parents had gone to work so there was no one home. The phone rang and i let the machine get it.
"Hi sweetie its Amma," My grandmother was calling so i picked up.
I smiled, "Hi Amma."
"How are you?" She asked.
I shrugged to myself, "Im ok. Just took Helen to camp. She's really going to like it there."
She laughed, "Im sure. She loved to play with other kids."
"Thats very true."
She laughed again, "Well I miss you guys. The north fork is fine. Larry says 'Hello'."
"Tell Larry i say 'hello' back," I got out the cranberry-apple juice and poured myself a glass.
"I wish you were here. Its beautiful," She sounded like she missed me alot.
Tears were brought to my eyes, "I miss it. Alot. And you guys. Alot. I have almost saved up enough for a ticket so ill be up soon."
"I love you Faith. Keep your chin up," Amma said.
Now i was crying, "I love you to. Bye."
I burst into tears. My grandma was the only one who understood me. She knew what i was going through. After a minute of crying i went up to my room and checked my computer. There was an email from MTV. I opened it and a video chat opened up.
"Finally," The person said laughing
I grimaced, "Who are you?"
"Oh im sorry. Im Terri Edwards. Im from MTV."
I nodded, "Oh."
"Well look more happy than that deary. You've won!" She practically screamed.
I was majorly confused, "Excuse me?"
She let out a sharp breath, "Do i have to spell it out for you?"
"I guess so," I was just as rude back.
She rolled her eyes, "You. Won. Contest. Meet. Tokio. Hotel."
I screamed, loudly, "AHHHHH!"
"There. Thats the reaction i was looking for." She laughed.
I couldn't talk. I was meeting my idol. I was meeting Bill Kaulitz.
"Also, MTV wants to do a story on you. You will go on a talk show when you get to New York after you meet Tokio Hotel. Basically we want you to tell us what the boys are really like. Is Bill really the shy one? Do you think Gustav is quiet? Those kinds of things." She checked her paper on her clip board.
"Ok-k," I stuttered.
She smiled, "You will get five thousand dollars for shopping while you are there. You will stay in the Hilton Hotel and your food will be paid for. And just before you ask i don't know where the band is staying. Your plane leaves tonight."
"TONIGHT?" I practically screeched.
She covered her ears, "Yes tonight. Their concert is tomorrow. Didn't you read the info on the contest page."
"No," i blushed, embarrassed.
She laughed again, "Ok then. Well get packing. You will take American Air and your ticket will be at the desk. Have fun."
She clicked off.
I was in shock. This is really happening. Im meeting my favorite band. I remembered that my plane was leaving so i started packing. I stopped myself. Music. I always had to have music. I put on 'World Behind My Wall Emmas Park Version'. I danced around the room grabbing my favorite things. I took a picture of Helen and of my grandma. I took my cross necklace off my dresser and put it in a safe compartment in my carryon. It was my favorite thing in the world. I packed ten pairs of skinny jeans and ten tops. I packed my Osiris' and my Converse. I put in my Journal and my book of hand written songs. I packed my bipolar medicine and my toiletries. My ipod of course was going in my carryon, as was my phone and books.
I looked at the clock. Time to go. I dragged my heavy suitcase downstairs and left a note for mom and dad:
Went to New York. Going to Meet Tokio Hotel. Ill be back whenever
-Faith
I laughed at my note. They would get pissed at me but in the moment, i simply didn't care. A cab pulled up and i put my things in. Climbing in i told the driver my directions and he drove off. I looked out the window at the passing town. I wouldn't miss it at all.
I must have been day dreaming because my door opened and i stepped out. The airport wasn't that busy today. I grabbed my bag and paid the man. He thanked me and i went up to the desk
"Hi im Faith Bray," I showed him my drivers license.
He smiled, "Welcome Ms. Bray. Your all checked in. Here is your first class ticket and ill take the bag your checking."
Wow. How much did MTV pay these people.
I walked up to security and went through smoothly. I beeped when my piercings when off, but I told the guard and he let me pass. I walked up to my gate, which happened to be the first one, and they let me board early. I sat in my seat and smiled to myself. I could get used to this.
"Good Evening Ms. Bray. Can i get you something to drink?" A nice looking male flight attendant asked me.
I looked up at him, "Do you have Orange Crush?"
He laughed, "We have everything."
He got my drink and i laid back. The other passenger's boarded. I noticed there was no one else in first class. I shrugged to myself and tried to go to sleep.
I stepped off the plane and looked for the person holding a sign with my name on it. I noticed the only girl driver was holding my sign. I walked over to her and smiled.
"Hi im Faith."
She smiled back and grabbed my big bag, "Welcome to New York Ms. Bray."
We went out to the car and she opened the door for me. I climbed in and looked out the window. It was late and the lights of the city were shining. We drove to the hotel and she helped me get my bags up to my room. I thanked her and gave her a tip. when she left i looked around the room. It was HUGE!
I would have loved it more but i was exhausted. I found the bedroom and laid down. I immediately fell asleep.
The next morning i woke up at ten. Which was late for me. I went out into the little living room and there was a envelope on the table. It had my passes in it and five thousand dollars. I smiled at the huge wad of cash. I put it in my purse and went to change. I grabbed the clothes that were on top of my pile. I only did eyeliner and went downstairs to get a quick muffin.
I chewed my blueberry muffin as i walked down a shopping street. I went into the largest Hot Topic i had seen in my life. I opened the door and went over to the skinny jeans. I picked out a really cool black and red pair. Similar to the ones Bill wore. I picked out five more pair and the like ten tops. I got nerd glasses and rings to put in my piercing holes. The total came to about three hundred. I still had alot left. So i decided to go and get a new camera. I needed one badly.
I went into the big nikon store and looked around. I decided on the best camera they had. I had wanted it for a long time. I paid and decided to go back to the hotel to get changed.
I tried to breath as i went up the elevator. I was going to meet Tokio Hotel in less than five hours. When i got into the room it was cleaner than before. I liked maids. I wish i had one for at home.
I turned on the radio and '1000 Oceans' was playing. I danced to it and pretended to rock out on a guitar. I laughed at myself and started to get ready
