The morning came too quickly for my liking.

I was all ready to leave, was packed, the car was ready.

I was just waiting for Leah.

After finding out that I was going away, she said she wanted to drive me to where I had to go.

I insisted that she didn't have to but she said I had no choice in the matter.

So we compromised she's driving me halfway and the getting the train back home, then lucky me gets to complete the rest of the journey all by myself! Oh the joy.

She here we are, its nearly half way through the journey, I think.

I'm asleep. Shhh.

Well Leah thinks I am, I'm hoping if she thinks I'm asleep she might carry on driving and then I won't have to go to see Joey by myself, I can share the torture with someone.

As if she can read my thoughts, the car suddenly slowed.

Please keep going, please keep going.

But no the car had become stationary.

"Your terrible at pretending to be asleep you know that!" Leah Announced. "Charlie I know you not asleep, you snore when you're asleep and for the last hour and a half when you've been so called sleeping you haven't snored at all."

How did she know I was awake?

Wait I so do not snore!

"I so do not snore!" I contested.

"Oh, so sleeping beauty is awake." Leah grinned.

"Whatever. I don't snore though do I?" I questioned.

"No you don't, I just knew that you were faking being asleep and that you would definitely cave if I said that you snore" she smiled.

Leah opened the driver door, walked round the front of the car and opened the passenger door next to me.

"Common Charlie time to get out of the car and drive the final part of your journey to meet the one and only Joey Collins" Leah grinned.

I suddenly switched moods, from the normal Charlie, to acting like a little child who wasn't going to do what they were told.

I didn't want to move, if I got out that meant I would have to actually go and meet Joey Collins, and to be honest that wasn't number one on my list of things to do. So I just sat there, pretending she wasn't there telling me to move.

I didn't quite work; she decided that if I wouldn't get out of the car by myself, she would drag me out of the car.

She pulled my arm, "Charlie common get out of the car, stop being childish"

I gave in slightly and relaxed.

"Charlie, this will be better than you think, just get out of the car" she pulled me a bit more, just as I started rising from the seat to get out. "Charlie watch out, your he..."

I hit my head! I hit my head on the car door!

Why are car doors so hard?

Pretend that didn't just happen.

Act completely normal.

Don't show the pain, when I'm crying inside, not just from pain but because of what I'm about to have to do.

Okay, right, I think I should just start driving before I harm myself more.

"I guess I'm going then, have a safe journey home Leah" I said

"Yes I will, and you have a good trip, try not to kill Joey, or yourself. Whenever things get hard, just take a deep breath and think of how much doing this story will help your career" Leah returned.

We hugged and said goodbye, I then got back into the car and started driving.

I switched on the radio.

Low and behold the voice I would be hearing for the next few months escaped from the speakers.

I quickly turned off the radio and switched to a cd.

There was already a cd in the player...

It started playing, I listened, and the voice was husky and fairly deep but yet innocent and sincere.

Yes it was the voice of Joey Collins... but it was different, something different.

The emotion in her voice, you could hear so much more than just words that someone is singing.

I drifted away for a while, and then reality hit me...

Stop it Charlie all that is just a sweet and innocent act, she's a diva you know that.

Focus on driving and getting through the next few months as quickly as possible.

An hour and a half later, I drove past the 'welcome to summer bay' sign.

I sighed.

I have no idea what's in store for me the next few months, but I hope to god I come out of it the same person I am now.

We had a designated meeting spot where I would meet Joey. A place called the diner...

I pulled up outside and admired the amazing view that was in front of me, trees, a beautiful beach, the sea crashing against the sand... for a moment I felt something, like a warm fuzzy feeling like this was a good thing being here.

Then my peace was interrupted by the gruelling sound of a motor bike engine.

The star had arrived and made her presence very known.

I glanced over and took a deep breath.

Whatever would happen next, well I think that's totally out of my control.

As they say... I'll just go with the flow...
