Four
"Work, work, work, all day long" Uhg. I knew that ring tone, my dad's assistant's ring tone. "Hey Neney, what's up?" I sighed into the phone while looking at the clock. Why was she waking me up at five thirty in the morning? This was not going to be a good day.
"Sorry I woke you up hun, but I wanted to let you know that I'm sending over a new PDA because someone seems to have lost theirs." She said with a slight laugh.
"Janine, I do not want nor do I need a PDA. That would be the reason I stopped using the last one and sent it back to you. Okay?"
"Just use it for the weekend okay? I do not need to keep calling you. You may get to play today, but tomorrow your dad has set up a couple of people for you to see in the studio and I would love for you to know when they are."
"What? He wants me to work. HHHHHHHHHHHH… okay fine, just send it over, around noon."
"Sounds good, bye hun."
"Oh and one more thing Neney, please do not call me at five in the morning EVER again, wait until around nine okay?" I said a little bit exasperated.
She laughed before saying "Okay sorry to wake you, go back to bed and that PDA will be there around noon."
"Right." I said and hung up my phone. Well I'm not going to get back to sleep, might as well go for a run I thought to myself as I got out of bed and went to my closet. I looked around and pulled on a pair of black shorts and a purple tank top. After I wrote a note telling Aly I was going for a run, I pulled a piece of tape off of the dispenser on my desk and taped the note to her face. Well now I know she'll get it. With that I walked down the stairs and started to jog around. I ran past the houses that were all ridiculously large, kind of like my dad's. I kept running for a long time. Past many houses that I had been to at parties every now and then.
I was on my way back when it happened. I ran across a driveway three doors down from mine and heard the rev of an engine. I looked into the driveway a froze, I black SUV was headed straight toward me, the guy in the front seat looking behind himself, not at me. He looked up at me and went pail. He hit the breaks and it was like something in me clicked, I ran past his house and to mine; once I made it to my house, I sighed, panting and made my way to the kitchen. "Hey guys, just a warning, but there is a new driver in the neighborhood, he almost ran me over." I started laughing as everyone else did. "So what do you guys want for breakfast?"
"Cereal's fine… what time did you wake up?" Aly said with a weird look.
"Um five thirty….. Why?" I said in a worried voice. That's when Aly lunged at the counter and grabbed at my PDM. Looking at it she ran to the fridge and pulled out a carton of orange juice.
She held it out to me and said "Here drink, and don't ask questions." With that she ran out of the room and can back a minuet later with my testing stuff. "Here she said to me.
After I tested looked at the results. I was way low. I looked up at Aly and said a meek "Thanks, how long was I gone?"
"Well it's eight now, so…" Jason said looking confused.
"Let's go to IHOP!!" I looked up and saw a welcomed sight of my second oldest brother in the door way.
"Andrew Nicholas Reed what are you doing here? Oh my gosh!" I screamed as I jumped into my brother's arms.
He staggered back a bit and laughed "So it's good to see me I'm guessing?"
"Um yeah… but let's go to IHOP, I'm hungry."
"Sounds good!" Jason and Drew said as they jumped up from where they were sitting. I ran up the stairs and changed into a pair of jeans, a grungy Beatles tee and a pair of black Converses.
With that we left for the restaurant.
