As I noted in my last chapter I listen to music as I write so for this chapter it was;
Five Finger Death Punch: Lift me up
Mumford and sons: I will wait for you
Jess Glynne: Take me home
Lo-Fang: Your the one that I want
I awoke to the sounds of 'Five Finger Death Punch' blasting into my ear, which may or may not of caused me to fall out of bed.
My usual alarm was soft and woke me up gradually, but today I needed this kick start for my interview. Grabbing my old wool cardigan, I wondered downstairs in search of Alice, only to find her sat at the kitchen table, phone in one hand toast in the other. Typical Tuesday morning for her. She glances up, smiling as she sees me at the door."Good morning star shine, how'd we sleep?"
"How can someone be so hyper first thing on a morning?"
Ali laughs, getting up and turns the coffee pot back on. "You just need some coffee that's all." She turns back to me, I take the coffee mug out of her hands and walk over to the brewing pot, the rich aroma filling the air, this, this right here is what heaven is. You could say I am like a serious coffee addict and I need my fix like a heroin addict needs theirs. I'm all sorts of grumpy until I have my fill." What time's your interview today?"
"Around one-ish. Are you still helping me get ready?" I kind of hope she would, I have no idea what to wear and if Edward is going to be there I want to at least look nice.
Whoa where'd that come from Swan? You WANT to look nice for your stalker? Well I'm out, good luck getting killed.
Oh shush he's nice and you have no opinion, plus your in my head you have to come.
"I'm not mean enough to leave you to get ready alone, you need to prep plus you need the ride so it kills two birds. Let me go get some outfits from Conan, Oh shit. I forgot my make-up bag I need to run home and get it." She grabs her coat and heads for the door."Ill be back at 10." The door slams and I'm all alone.
I pour my coffee and sit outside on the deck. Its a little after 7am so I'm a little surprised to hear a lawn mower next door. Hmm I wonder who it is. Charlie said that the Blackstone family had recently moved out, which he had also said was very suspicious of them, since they were there one day gone the next. Literally empty house the next day. So hearing the sound of grass being cut can only indicate that either they're back or its haunted. Or more realistically someone else has moved in. After musing over who's in the house next door I realize I'm all out of coffee. I place my hand on the wooden shelf behind me and get up, leaving the front deck and heading back inside the house.I glanced at the clock and see its nearly 9, one more hour to kill, I thought. I place my cup in the sink and take the stairs to the bathroom to shower and dry my hair, getting myself physically and mentally ready for the torture which is my best friend. Her Barbie make overs are exhausting but they can come in handy I guess, sometimes anyway. I just really hope she can tone this one down, last time I had one of her little makeovers was in college and yeah sure you could say we looked hot, but I can't do with all the attention that comes with it.
After my shower that could put the river in hell to shame, I realized I have no clean clothing what so ever in the bathroom, I wrapped myself up in the fluffiest towel in there and head out into the hallway. I stopped by the window I was gazing out of when me and Charlie were having a disagreement the other day, this window in particular backs on to the Blackstone property. I gaze at the nesting birds in the tree just outside the window frame when I notice the net curtain in the other house fall back into place. That was different. Maybe someone has really moved in.
Or maybe its haunted? Go play the dumb girl in the horror movie card and go see!
"I stare across towards the window for sometime wondering who, or what even, moved the net curtain.
I must of been there awhile because I saw Alice pull up on the drive way. I quickly threw on some underwear and a XXL t shirt, wrapped my hair in a towel and went to meet her at the door""Let's do this."
Thus began the hour and half long torture to turn me into a Barbie doll. To be fair, and I will never admit this to Alice, she actually does THE best job, I wouldn't get this far without her little beauty tricks.
After about an hour and a half of pulling and tugging, I looked in the mirror and I looked unrecognisable, a complete different person. I looked like an actual responsible, mature adult. "Wow"I know.
Alice had that same all-knowing smirk Edward always seemed to have.
Bitch
"Okay so what time we leaving, the sooner I get this over with the better, my hands won't keep still." Because seriously if you put a jack-hammer before my hands you wouldn't need to power it the rate I'm going at.
"Well if we set off now we'll get there for quarter to."
" Sure, let me grab my bag and CV. I'll meet you in the car." I jogged upstairs to grab my brown leather satchel bag and the plastic covered CV I had printed a few days ago.I made my way downstairs, grabbing the to go coffee cup Alice must of picked up for me and out the door, pausing to lock up. I look back up towards the Blackstone house and the curtain had been pulled back fully now but there was still no car in the drive way./span/p
HONK!
The car horn brought me out of my musing with a start and Ali was sat staring at me with a confused expression on her tanned faced. " Lets go! You'll be late." I grabbed the key out of the door and got in the car. It wasn't until we got further down the road I realized I hadn't locked the door, surely no one would think to go inside our house, especially with Mrs Brady checking in all the time. It'll be fine I've done this before.
Soon after we pulled up, Alice turned to me giving me her final once over to see if I look good to go. "You look great, you ready?" I look down at my self.
"I think so, you did a really great job toning the make up down." I gave her an all-knowing look, she'd done this before, go way over the top.
She laughed through her nose."Funny. Where'd you get the coffee from?" She looked confused at the sight of our favourite java hut cup.
"I thought you picked it up for me. Its my favourite, your the only one who can get it right." I looked at her in confusion as well, she did pick it up for me didn't she?
Oh great you're drinking a coffee that could be laced with just about anything!
"I didn't get you that coffee. Your name's not even on it." She took it out of my hand.
Witch.
Never take coffee from me, I glared down at her hand contemplating detaching her hand from her arm. " It says Victoria."
"Victoria"." I mutter to my self. I know that name from somewhere, only question is where?
Victoria is back, she's bad and she is nation wide people.
But is she who you think she is?
Next up date will be Bella's interview and maybe a new face?
Let me know what you guys think and who you want to see next!
