Exits and Entrances
Chapter 2 We all have hearts that beat
I woke in an unfamiliar apartment, my head was pounding like someone was playing drums in there, I groaned as I sat up on the couch that I was sleeping on.
“Here, take these” The mystery guy from last night said handing me a glass of water and some aspirin.
“Thanks” I smiled swallowing down the pills. Once my head had cleared a little I looked up at my rescuer, it finally rung to me who it was, and why he was familiar.
“Oh shit” I muttered nearly dropping the glass of water in my hand.
“What?” He asked with fake excitement lacing his voice.
“Your....Your Tony Perry” I uttered then covering my mouth realising how crazy I may have sounded.
“That would be me” He smiled, making the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.
“Sorry, I’m kind of a fan of your band” I said quietly looking down to the floor.
“Oh that’s cool” he responded taking a seat on the coffee table in front of me.
“Quite a big fan actually” I said standing up pulling up the shirt I was now wearing and revealing my tattoo that read ‘ I’ll make you feel beautiful once again’
“Wow” He said examining the tattoo closer. I pulled my shirt down quickly realising if he looked for too long he may see the scars that lay underneath the tattoo.
He must have noticed my urgency to cover up as he placed his hands gently on my hips lifting the shirt a little.
“Your far too pretty to do something like that” He whispered finding the sensitive scars on my hips and tracing them with his thumb.
“What time is it?” I asked trying to change the subject.
“7:30” He replied his eyes and hands not leaving my body. I pulled away from him.
“Sorry I’ve got to go to work, thanks again for last night” I quickly gathered together my things and headed to the door.
“Do you want me to drive you?” He asked grabbing my wrist stopping me in my tracks.
“No it’s okay, I can get myself there, I wouldn’t want to bother you any longer” I smiled pulling my arm away from him and heading out of the door and across the hall to my apartment.
“Long night?” Grace asked.
“Well, it was an extremely strange night actually” I responded as memories of the night came flooding back, Nick snogging that girl, getting extremely drunk, breaking my heels and ripping my dress and then ending up on the door step of one of my idols.
I explained the details of what happened last night to Grace.
“...and the guy who’s door step I ended up on last night was none other than a very beautiful Mr Tony Perry.” I finished Grace’s jaw hung in shock.
“As in PTV, Tony Perry” she asked not quite believing what I had just told her, I simply nodded as I ran upstairs to change into my work clothes.
I grabbed my car keys and headed to work. I pulled into my works parking lot 5 minutes late. I ran into work.
“Your late.” My boss Meghan said as I walked in grabbed my apron and tied it around my waist.
“Sorry, I had a bit of a rough night, and a strange morning” I replied sadness lacing my voice as I remembered that I was now single for the first time in 2 years.
“do you wanna talk about it?” Meghan asked she was more like a good friend than my boss.
“Nick and I split up, I got really drunk, then woke up on the couch of one of my idols. So no big deal” I smiled.
A few hours passed and we established that today was gonna be a slow day.
“Can you serve table 4 please” Meghan asked. I fished my notebook out of my pocket and walked over to the booth by the window. I then realised why Meghan had asked me to serve this table, sat around the table was Tony and the rest of the members of Pierce The Veil. I put on my best professional face and headed over.
“Hello, I’m Layla I’ll be serving you today, what can I get you?” I smiled
“hey you.” Tony smiled looking up at me.
“Hang on. Tony do you know this girl” Vic asked confused
“Yes, she’s the girl I was telling you about”
“Oh the drunk pretty girl” Jaime whisper yelled, Tony simply nodded.
“Well sexy, you can turn up drunk on my doorstep anytime” Mike smirked, Vic lightly slapped his brother round the back of the head, causing Mike to fake a pouty face.
“So, What can I get you?” I repeated my previous question. I wrote down the boys orders and took them into the kitchen.
The door opened and Grace bounded in and up to me.
“So you never guess who came to get a tattoo earlier” Grace beamed
“Surprise me” I asked
“ Mike, PTV’s drummer” Grace squealed, she’d always had a crush on him since I introduced her to the band.
I nudged her, shaking my head over into the direction the boys were sat. I quickly covered Grace’s mouth knowing she’d fangirl really loudly and I didn’t want her to draw attention to us.
A few hours passed and the boys were still here. I looked up to notice Tony walking over to were I was sat behind the cash register, Grace sat on a stool in front of the bench. I looked at her begging her to stay calm.
“Thanks” Tony smiled handing me the money for their food. On the top of the money was a bit of white paper scribbled on it said:
You know where I live but call me sometime ************
Tony x
Grace noticed me reading the bit of paper and snatched it from my hands.
“Oh My God, he gave you his fucking number” She screamed loud enough the whole of America could most probably hear her. I once again covered her mouth and told her to be quiet.
“are you gonna call him?” She asked
“Maybe” I smiled
Once my shift ended I headed home
“Here, take these” The mystery guy from last night said handing me a glass of water and some aspirin.
