CHAPTER 8: GET AWAY TO PARADISE

"What's wrong?" Danny asked in a sleepy yet concerned voice.
"Reporters are freakin' swarming my house! That's what's wrong!" I ran a hand through my hair and peeked out the window.
"Oh...uhhh..."

Great! He's speechless!

"Help me!" I pleaded.
"I'll get you out of there. Hold on."
"Park at the back of my house."
"Okay. Okay. Wait for me. I'll be there fifteen minutes tops."
"Trust me, I'm not going anywhere."

--

The next thing I know, I was being dragged out of my house, hands clasped with Danny's, to his car. We ran for its safety as reporters rolled their cameras and photographers clicked away. I jumped in the front seat and Danny in the driver's. He backed out of my street and sped away from it.
I heaved a big sigh and slumped down in my seat.

"You okay?" Danny glanced at me.
"I've seen better days."
"Have you called work?"
"Oh sh*t! Speaking of!" I dug in my purse for my phone and speed dialed Amanda.
"Amanda? Please reschedule my appointments. I'm not showing up. And uhhmmmm...is Betsy in?"
"I think so. Want me to put her on?"
"Uhhh...yes please." I glanced out the window wondering where Danny was kidnapping me.
"Your assistant says you're not turning up. Are you trying to lose your job?" Betsy growled.
"Betsy! No!...I love my -.....I ca-.....NO....no....Betsy it's -...." She kept cutting me off.

Danny grabbed my phone and stuck it near his ear. I didn't bother taking it back. It's Betsy for goodness' sake!
I only heard his side of the conversation which was something like this, "Betsy? It's Danny.....yeah....from McFly. No....Yup....kidnapping her....okay?...I've heard lots of wonderful things about you from Blake by the way." And then he hung up.

"What'd you say?"
"That I'm kidnapping you."
"So am I safe?"
"As far as I'm concerned." I looked out the window again. The sight looked familiar.
"Where are you taking me again?"
"We're going home."
"Home? What do you mean 'home'?"
"I meant home." He flashed me a smile. I glanced out the window and that's when it hit me we're going home! To Bolton!
"Thank you!" I hugged him.
"Woah! Driving!" He laughed. My cheeks probably colored by then but I was too happy to care.

--

Danny pulled up at the local park. He stopped the engine and removed his keys from the ignition. I stepped out and stood beside him; taking in the park. I surveyed it and smiled up to him.

"Tag!!!" I screamed as I shoved him and broke into a run. I felt him running behind me; catching up with every step. Soon enough, I was tackled and we were rolling on the grass. He pinned me down and we were overtaken by laughter. We looked at each other with a smile.
And I did the most unimaginable thing........I raised my head and brushed my lips against his cheek.
As soon as it did, Danny froze in place and I pushed him off me. He collapsed beside me with a thud and I erupted with laughter again.

"What was that for?" Danny asked silently.
"I...uhhh...for taking me here?" I suggested.
"Uncalled for but that probably means I did something right!" He smiled widely.

The rest of the day was pretty awesome. We visited "OUR" tree. Okay, fine. It was just a tree at the west end of the park. Danny and I used to meet there to talk about school and the like. On the day after graduation, we had come here to talk about our plans in the future and it was the day we officially made it our tree. We had our names carved and a date to commemorate it. Since we did it the last time we were there, I suggested we wrote the date of the day to signify we had visited it. Danny carved it using his keys.
After visiting our tree, we stopped by our favorite candy store. Yes, we were too old to go to candy stores at senior year but we always did. It was kind of a tradition when we met up. We grabbed a couple of our favorites.
We watched the sun set from a park bench. It wasn't as amazing as the movies, but we were contented.

"Dan?" I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah?" He wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"Thank you."
"No problem." He smiled genuinely.
