This chapter is happier than the last and I hope you like it. I'm introducing a new character.
CHAPTER 2
She wakes up with a hangover the next day and the fact that there is movement and clattering coming from the kitchen isn't helping. She tries to get some more sleep but finds it impossible as her head pounds even more at the sound of the front door slamming. She sits up and noticed the several bottles of beer and wine coolers are no longer on the coffee table where she knew she left them along with the tub of ice cream that she went through. The half empty bottle of grey goose is still sitting in the middle of the table though.
The smell finally hits her and her stomach growls. Her mouth begins to water; which she gladly welcomes since she's dehydrated. She stands and heads for the kitchen. She tries to smile when she sees the cup of water and pain killers on the table beside a plate full of pancakes, hash browns and toast on a smaller plate to the side.
There are only a few times when she is for sure she isn't alone. This is one of them. She really smiles when she picks up the glass and pills. Underneath is a note scrawled out in the slightly messy handwriting. She swallows the pills and gulps down the glass of water. She picks up the note and smiles.
'Enjoy breakfast but don't eat it inside, it is actually a wonderful morning. Put that wonderful balcony to use.'
She picks up the plate and and carries it out to the balcony wher indeed a wonderful sun rise greets her over the buildings. She lays in the lounge chair with her breakfast and eats in silence. Once she is finished and the sun has risen she heads inside to shower and get ready for her day.
After her work out her phone rings and she picks it up.
"Hello?" she hears the commotion. "Are you in class?"
"No, I'm in the hall at my locker. How was your morning?"
"Excellent thank you for breakfast. You don't need to do that." she says running a hand through her damp hair.
"I want to. Besides if I don't do certain things you'll never get them done or do it."
"Ok. You got me on that one." she laughs. "I'm off today, will your parents be ok with me taking you to dinner?" she walked into that one and could just hear the smile in her next words.
"I don't know are you asking me out on a date?" they shared a laugh.
"I walked into that one. But no. It is not a date just dinner between friends."
"Rachel, my parents barely acknowledged my presence unless they are putting on an act as loving parents. They won't notice I'm gone."
"You should still be the responsible child and ask."
"They're out of town Rachel, the nanny is watching me. You know the one you hired for me?"
"I'm surprised you call her."
"I don't; after my parents found out you hired one for me they call her to come watch me and tell me where they are."
"And are you and Cassie getting along?"
"Yeah, well, I have to get to class. I'll see you after school."
"Bye kid. I'll go across the hall and tell Cassie she has the night off."
"Really you mean it?"
"We don't hang out enough and the show is over for the weekend. I don't have to go in till Monday."
"Great! I mean great that we can hang out and you have time. Not that the play is over."
"I know what you mean sweetie. I'll be waiting when you get out."
"Ok. Bye Rachel!"
Rachel smiled at the excited tone in the teenager's voice.
"Bye, do good in school."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
She disconnected the call and dialed the number of the girl's favorite Italian restaurant and made reservations. She sat down on her couch and turned the TV on and channel surfed. She stopped when she recognized a familiar blonde walking through a crowd. She turned it up and listened. She hadn't seen that blonde since Julliard.
'Dance sensation Brittany Pierce has decided to take a break from her position as one of the 'Dancing with the stars' dancers. Pierce was once a back up dancer for Beyonce but wanted to settle down and accepted the job as a DWTS dancer and now three years later the dancer wants a change of scenery and rumors have stated that she is moving back to New York to teach at her Alma mater Julliard as a dance instructor."
Rachel smiled. Brittany got the job as a back up dancer while she was still in college. She would dance when school was out on breaks. After she and the blonde graduated Brittany went in her first world tour and after that many other tours. She kept the job for about two and a half years before quitting and accepting the job with DWTS.
She picked up her phone and dialed. She and the blonde still kept in contact.
"Hey Britt, I saw the news is it true? Great, how would you like to join me and a friend for dinner tonight? Awesome." she gave the blonde the address and what the reservation was under. After hanging up she redialed the restaurant and changed the reservation to three people. She then went across the hall and informed Cassie and young woman in her late twenties of her plans to keep the teenager for the weekend.
Review if I should continue.
