Chapter 9

Now car journeys are usually boring for me, especially when it was a family trip. I thought this one would be the same as I was stuck in a car with 4 guys and no window. I was squished in between Danny and Dougie in the back, yay for me. "So what game are we gunna play today" oh no I have a feeling its not gunna be a good game. "I don't know why don't you choose Danny" no Tom don't let Danny choose. In the short amount of time I had known them I knew that Danny choosing something wasn't the best idea. Before Danny could make up some game I knew I wouldn't t like or understand I spoke up. "Why don't we play yellow car?" I loved this game. "Ok just not to hard guys she's only young" now you would have thought that was Harry being a protective brother no it was Tom. Harry was busy already looking for a yellow car. Then there was silence in the car. "YELLOW CAR!" It as the fourth time I had shouted yellow car and the guys seemed to not want to play any,ore after I had punched them as hard as I could excluding tom who was driving. "Ok I don't want to play this game any more your to violent" poor Dougie "I don't mean to be. Blame Harry he's the one who taught me how to punch and play this game" before Danny and Dougie could hit Harry for teaching me busted came on the radio. "Turn it up, turn it up, please turn it up Tom" I probably like busted a bit to much oh well I'll be the same with their band which I didn't know the name of yet. Tom looked at me quizzically then turned it up just in time for the first verse of year 3000 which I just had to sing along to.

"I take it you like the song" well that's an understatement. "Nope mate she loves it and the rest of them". Well thanks Harry I was going to keep my love for busted on the low down. "Anyway enough about busted, I just realised I don't know the name of your band".

"Oh I think you'll like it" there must be a reason Harry said that and I don't know whether he was being sarcastic or not. "We are called McFly!" Ok it wasn't sarcasm if its for the reason I think it is. "Is it that because of back to the future and Marty McFly?" By the look on toms face he was amazed I made the connection. "Yeah it is I suggested it because me and my mate James love the film"

"Yay can we watch it when we get back" I hope so Harry watches it with me but he gets fed up when I always want to watch it. "Yeah we can I haven't watched it for awhile" yay Tom must like to watch it as much as me if the look on Harry's face is because of the film. "We watched it last week Tom" yep he definitely does. "Any hoo, are we there yet?"

"I wondered when you were gunna start that". Well I did have to eventually. "How did you know she was gunna start that and why didn't you warn us". Hey I've only said it once Danny! "Well once we were in the car going to see family and that's all she said from halfway through the drive to the end" well I was bored. "That doesn't sound to bad" but before I could thank Dougie for defending me Harry continued "you wouldn't be saying that if you were me in that car ride"

"What makes you say that mate" no Danny don't ask that. "The journey was to Scotland and she was sat next to me the whole way" oppps well in my defence it was a very boring journey with nothing to see out the window. "Can we change the subject?"

"Wow we're going through subjects fast. What do you want to talk about now?" I don't know if Tom is amused or annoyed because I can't see his face. "How about where I'm going to be staying when we get to yours?" Well I kinda wanted to know where I would be sleeping for 2 weeks. "How about we show you when we get there" I guess that would be easier mo wonder Tom's the smart one. "And before you say it we're nearly there" wow now Harry's a mind reader it must be spreading through the band. Maybe that's why Dougie's so quite all the time to busy reading people's minds. What if he's reading my mind now. By the look on his face that's a no. I hadn't realised but during my inner monologue we had arrived in London. "Oh it looks so pretty" I hadn't noticed that I had leaned over Dougie until Harry cleared his throat. "Did you want to sit on Dougie's lap" I didn't get why the boys found it so funny probably another older joke oh well. "No but I didn't get to sit near a window and you know what I'm like when I don't get to sit near a window. Don't bring up Scotland again". I knew he was going to when he opened his mouth. My point was proven when he shut it as soon as I finished speaking.

"Ok we are here everyone out the car" yay no more being in a mini with 4 sweaty guys I really need a shower. "Yes I can breath again" I know how you feel Dougie. I ran up to Harry and hugged him. "Hey what's bought this on Choc".

"What I can't hug my brother without a reason now". By the look on Harry's face he was going to say no. "Well I wanted to thank you for bringing me here and away from them for awhile" to be honest I didn't like being home without Harry there was nothing to do and I didn't have many friends that would miss me. "Aww that's sweet of you but I knew you'd miss me and needed to get away".

"C'mon then ill give you the grand tour once we get inside". I was surprised that it was Dougie who said this but realised he was probably trying to get out of having to bring one of my bags in. While Tom and Danny tried to pick one of. My bags up while Harry got the other Dougie showed me inside after I grappled my blanket and stuff from the car. I stopped when we first got in "can you put this in the kitchen for me please Dougie" I had no idea why I was being so polite. "Okay just stay here and don't do anything" yeah like that was gunna happen. As dougie was coming back the other were just coming in from outside ,well Harry had come in with me and Dougie but then gone out to laugh/help Danny and Tom, to see me stood staring at something in an archway. "Hey guys I thought I told you to take it down" what the hell was it. "But Tom we couldn't disturb the babe wave" oh it was women it looked like Harry's and tanks room back home just with no cricket or band posters. "Tom it's not like she hasn't seen it on my walls before look she's mature for her age anyway". That is true Harry. "Can I just have the tour now please" as if Dougie had just remembered he walked ahead of me and made a follow me sign.

After the tour I'm pretty sure I won't get lost in the house but you never know. "Ok so have you decide where your going to sleep yet so we can move your bags and stuff. I had three options the pull out bed in the living room, a put me up bed in Harry's room or the spare room which was being. Used for storage so had instruments in. "Well if I sleep down here I might get woke up by one of you and I don't want to share with Harry ,no offence, so I guess that leaves the spare storage type room". Wow that was a mouthful. "Ok so what do you want to do now then?" As I was about to answer Dougie about watching back to the future Harry opened his mouth knowing I hadn't forgotten yet. "Well we could go to the park or for a walk seen as its such a nice day" although that was a good idea. Yeah let's go to the park as long as we don't have to drive there" thank god we didn't it was only round the corner.

When we finally got to the park I realised it wasn't your normal corner park it w one of those adventure park things. You know the ones with massive climbing rope things, a climbing wall and skate ramps. "Harry, can you push me on the swings please?" I absolutely love swings and I still don't know why. "Ok but afterwards we're all going to have a race up the climbing thing" I think he was telling the others more than me because that was the next thing I was going to suggest. "I bet I'll win!" I think competitiveness runs in the family because me harry and tank were always trying to beat each other at stuff. "Ok that's it we're having this race now. C'mon guys we're gunna race each other up this thing" so soon we were all climbing up the frame. For some reason I was in the lead that was until got bored so went down and sat on a bench watching the guys wrestling each other to be first. When I say the guys I mainly ,ean Danny and Harry while Tom and Dougie were just sort of sat in the middle talking. "Hey can we just call it a draw and do something else because none of you have either been bothered to move or unable to move for at least 10 minutes".

"I agree with that I can finally do what's came to do" now I have no idea what Dougie was talking about but I guess the others did as they didn't look surprised. "Ok but Choc stay with us cause Tank told me about the sports shop". I have no idea why me getting distracted by a skateboard has anything to do with Dougie. Well I didn't until I saw Dougie pick something up which I hadn't seen in the excitement of goin to the park. Dougie had a skateboard. "Oh I wanna see" I guess he knew what I meant because he flipped it to show me the pattern on the bottom. "This ones so nice as well". That made my mind up I was definitely asking for one for my birthday.

When I got out of my daydream about my birthday Dougie had already taken of towards the ramps oh well I'll ask him about it later. "Harry I know what I want for my birthday" by the look on Harry's face he wasn't so sure. "Well you've got to want something else as well". That's true I also wanted bass lessons which I guess I still need to ask Dougie about and some CDs and stuff. "We can talk about that later c'mon lets go watch Dougs on the ramps" that does sound like fun Danny. So over we went to watch Dougie show up some kids who thought they were the best. Now that was funny but it got boring after awhile of just sitting there. "Harry I'm bored can we go for a walk please" well it was better than just sitting down. "Yeah I guess so. Tom, Danny we're going for a walk see you in a bit" in reply he just got mumbled ok's from them both. While we were walking Harry was holding my hand so I didn't run of when I saw something exciting. This kinda worked but he just got dragged over instead. "Harry I'm starting to get tired can I have a piggyback please"

"I'm not surprised your tired. C'mon then jump up" with a little help form Harry I got onto his back from a bench. Then as Harry was walking back to the others I could just see Tom getting up before my eyes drifted shut.

When I woke up we weren't in the park anymore and no one was around. By looking around the room I could see a lot of instruments that's when I remembered that the room I was staying in had instruments. Harry must have put me into bed when they got back maybe I should go see where the others are. "Harry where are you?" I called while walking down the hall way. I knocked the door which I thought was Harry's room and when it opened I tackled the occupant to the floor thinking it was Harry. It wasn't. "Hey what you doing"

"Opps sorry Danny thought you were Harry". Well that was a mistake. I got up of the floor and walked downstairs to try and find Harry without knocking on the others doors. When I walked into the living room I saw Dougie which reminded me of the dream I had. I was sitting in the park that we had been in on one of the ramps at the skating bit. Then Dougie came skating past and for some reason kissed me and that's all I can remember of it. When I went to back out of the room embarrassed I bumped into someone and turned around to see the smiling face of my brother. "Hey what you upto Choc, you haven't got lost already have you?" Wow my brother has so much faith in me but then again I did get lost a lot. "No, I was looking for you actually and now I found you can we do something?" I wonder if they have any pets I can play with. "Well we could go play with the gerbils" oh definitely a mind reading band. "Oh you have gerbils. I miss Romeo already" Romeo is our dog back home who is white withe brown patches. "Tom, Danny and me have gerbils but Dougie doesn't cause he's allergic. You should really be missing your family more than a dog you know". I guess that's true but he's to adorable to not miss. We were having this conversation while walking upstairs and to Danny's room.

"Oh I see you found Harry then" very observant Danny today. "Why are we at Danny's room Harry?" It was really confusing me. "Well Danny looks after mine and his gerbils in here" oh that makes more sense I'm guessing Tom looks after his own. "Oh so you actually came here on purpose this time then".

"So you did get lost already?" Well I guess you could say that. "Not really just knocked on the wrong rooms door. Ok fine I did". I wonder what time it is and how long I was asleep for. "Are you hungry yet cause its nearly dinner time". Well that answers my question. Now that he mentions it the gerbils can wait I want food. "Yep what food have we got to eat". By the looks on Harry's face nothing I could eat. "Go get tom and we'll go shopping". So up I went to toms room to see his door wide open and him laying on his bed with his guitar. "Tom Harry said to come get you so we can go shopping". I had obviously startled him as he jolted up as soon as I spoke. "Oh ok c'mon then let's go downstairs. Want a piggy back?" I'm starting to really like these guys. There like 2 more older brothers and Dougie I don't know how I feel about him yet.
