No Idea

I was awoken by a small figure jumping onto my bed. I looked down to see Winter staring at me. I smiled and laughed as she hugged me uncontrollably. I kissed her cheek and hugged her back, telling her how much I missed her. I looked up towards the door once she let me go and saw Mum standing there smiling.

‘Hi mum.’ I said as I got up out of bed. Winter jumped at my back. I caught her and gave her a piggy back till I got to the door. I placed her on the floor before hugging Mum.

‘I missed you dearly.’ She said hugging me back. I pulled out the hug and smiled at her.

‘Well, I am packed, all I need to do is have a shower and get dressed. Dad has some news that he probably wants to tell you.’ I said as I walked out my room towards the bathroom. ‘Oh and I missed you too.’ I said, stopping at the doorway of the bathroom, staring at Mum who had Winter on her hip.

I walked into the bathroom after sharing a smile with Mum. I turned on the shower and stripped down. I stuck on hand into the shower, making sure that the water was warm enough before stepping into the shower and closing the curtain.

Washing my hair, a good two times, I did the other things that needed to be done before turning the water off and stepping out. I grabbed the towel, making sure that I dried every inch of me before wrapping myself in it. I walked out into the hallway before walking back to my room, where I proceeded to get dressed.

I placed a pair of greyish jeans on with my Of Mice and Men top on. I brushed my hair, parting it into two halves before platting each side. I looked over myself before grabbing my worn down vans which will probably be worn to the brim by the end of tour. I may actually most probably will have gone through two or more pairs.

I grabbed my backpack with all the extra stuff I needed, like charges and everything important to a teenager like me. Mostly, something that will play music when I need it the most. Even though I am on a musical tour, I still need music.

I skipped two steps at a time, meeting everyone in the living room as I turned the corner. I smiled as I placed my backpack on the floor and flopped myself down next to Dad. They were talking about the baby, I assume from the conversation I came into.

‘So, what room will you be changing?’ Mum questioned.

‘Well, we have a spare bedroom downstairs, so we were going to talk to Stella about moving her downstairs so the baby’s room was near ours. I mean, we can change it around if you don’t want to sweetie.’ Dad replied.

It was nice seeing them have a civilized conversation.

‘I’m okay with that, seeing as I won’t be here for one and a half years of the kid’s life, knock yourself out. But if I have to change rooms, I want a big surprise with my room when I get back.’ I said, smiling cheekily.

‘We can arrange something, I’m sure we can, Stel.’ Hannah said, as she put her hand on my Dad’s shoulder.

A couple hours past and it was finally time to say goodbye to Dad and Hannah, and little baby, Squirt.

‘I am going to miss you so much!’ I said as I hugged Hannah.

‘I will miss you too dear.’ She said as she kissed my head. I put my hands on her little stomach and smiled at her.

‘Look after him well. I know you’ll have a boy, because I want a little brother!’ I said to Hannah, who looked at Dad.

‘He wants a son too.’ She said as she laughed. I walked over to Dad and smiled at him.

‘I am going to miss you so much little girl.’ Dad said taking me into a hug. I hugged him back tighter and felt myself begin to cry.

‘Hey, hey now. Don’t cry. I will call you every day. I will message you every night. I will even get skype so we can see each other. It’ll be like you never left.’ He said wiping my tears away.

‘I am going to miss you so much. I love you Dad.’ I said, smiling at him as a tear fell.

‘I love you too. Don’t forget to take a lot of photos and have a lot of fun.’ He said as we walked out the door. I grabbed Mums hand as we began to walk towards the bus which had stopped in front of the house.

The door opened and Mum and Winter got on, I took a step up and turned back to see Dad and Hannah standing at the front door, Dad’s hand behind Hannah’s back as they waved at me. I blew them a kiss and Dad caught it. He smiled and nodded his head. I turned my back to them and stepped on, looking back to see the door close.

I walked into the lounge area and smiled to see Sarah was already on the bus and she was texting away on her phone. I smiled at her as I flopped down next to her. She lifted her head up and smiled back before finishing her text off.

‘So how cool is this bus?’ She said putting her phone down.

‘It really is big. I didn’t think it would be this big.’ I said as I looked around it.

‘Come on, I’ll show you were everything is.’ Sarah said standing up off the couch. I followed her into a smaller area, which was were the bunks must have been.

‘This here, is you bunk.’ She said as she pulled open the curtain.

‘Hey you.’ Nathan said as he was lying down on my bunk. I smiled at him and he got out. Once he was standing straight, I jumped into his arms and hugged him very tight.

‘Ahhh. I can’t believe you are really here!’ I said as I pulled myself back from him, but he still held me. I touched his face and smiled. I looked down at him and he looked up at me.

‘Stella. Can you come here for a sec?’ Mum asked from the back of the bus. She was looking at me. Nathan put me down and I walked to her. She closed the door to the connecting room and sat me down.

‘I heard what happened between you and Jaime. I was just wondering if you were okay about it…’ She asked, seeming generally concerned.

‘I am fine, mum. We actually talked the other night and we seem to be okay.’ I say as I smile to her.

‘And what’s happening between you and Nathan?’ She questioned.

‘Nothing…’ I said, smiling goofily at her.

‘Okay, well he is here for one reason only. To protect you and babysit Winter while we perform and do sound checks. I understand that he is your friend and all, but be careful of him. He is nearly three years older than you. If you want to start dating, make sure that if you have sex with him…’

‘Mum, oh my god. Please. I wasn’t thinking about dating him nor having sex with him.’ I interrupted her. She shrugged her shoulders.

‘I am just worried okay.’ She said.

‘I get that and thank you. But nothing will happen. I promise.’ I say and stand up.

‘This is going to be a long but enjoyable two years.’ Mum said as she got up herself and walked over to me. She hugged me from the side with one hand and opened the door with the other.

She was right. It was going to be a very long two years.
