On The Road To Lincoln

Chapter Four - Dates and Concerts

''Hey Alfie, It's Me Again'' I Spoke Into The Phone Awaiting A Reply. Sickening I Know.

''Oh Hey Me, It's Archie, Alfie Went To His' Secret Place', He'll Be Back In A Couple Of Hours,'' Even Through The Phone I Could Feel Archie Making Air Quotes.

''Alright Miss Sassy Pants, Tell Him I'll Call Later''. I Hung Up The Phone After Talking With Archie For A Bit, Him Faking A Hurt Feeling Everytime I Called Him Miss Sassypants. Although, At The Back Of My Mind I Was Wondering Where Alfie Went. His Secret Place. I Decided To Let Go Of It and Just Sleep. It Was Around Eleven and I Thought I Would Just Sleep It Off.

-------------------------Next Day--------------------------

''LINCOLN GET UP, WE HAVE A CONCERT TODAY'' I Was Woken Up By Kalel Jumping On My Bed and Dropping Me Off The Bed Simultaneously.

''Owwwww....Okay I Get It, Get Out Let Me Get Dressed At Least'' I Was Grumpy Now. I Got Up From The Floor and Shoved Her Out Of The Room. I Stalked Over To My Bed and Threw My Blankets Back On To The Bed. Time Check, Ten Forty-five. I Dug Through My Door To Find Some Good Clothes, The Show Was At Six, But The Venue Was An Hour Away and We Were Gonna Drive There In Archie's Car With Mikey's Van Behind Us With The Instruments. 

I Grabbed Some Clothes That I Wore Whenever We Had A Concert In This Club, Red and Black Shirt, A Slevelss Denim Waist Coat, Black Skinnies and My White Doc Martins. I Went To My Thinking Place and Started The Hot Water. I Thought About The Club and My Date From Yesterday.

The Club Was Quite A Big One and We Played There Every Month, It Was Located Right By The Beach and The Stage Was Outside. We Loved To Preform There, and We Always Came Back With A New Set List With A New Theme Each Time. This Month We Went With Pop Rock. We Were Going To Play Songs Like Year 3000 By Busted, Teenage Dirtbag By Wheatus and Finish It Off With Heartache On The Big Screen By My Favourite Band, 5 Seconds Of Summer. We Always Stayed There Past Mid-Night and Have To End Up Staying The Night With Hammered Twins and A Very Pissed Off Louis.

Speaking Of Twins, I Wonder Where Alfie Went Off To Yesterday, Archie Wasn't Sure Either, He Just Called It His 'Secret Place'. Where Could That Be. Should I Ask Him? No, He Trusts All Of Us and If It Was Really That Important I'm Pretty Sure Arch Would Know. I'm Just Going To Forget It.

After My Shower, I Packed My Duffle Bag With Some Overnight Stuff and Clothes For Tomorrow, Including Beach Wear, I Just Know We're Going To Go To The Beach At Some Point. I Went Downstairs To Find Mikey's Van Parked Out Front. I Knew We Were Going To Leave Soon So I Dropped My Bag and Ruffled Through The Kitchen To Find Some Nutella and A Spoon, The Best Breakfast Ever.I Then Stuffed The Jar In My Baga Along With A Spoon and Headed For The Basement. 

Mikey Had Already Taken Half Of The Things Out and The Door Leading Outside Was Wide Open So I Just Assumed He Didn't Need Any Help, So I Just Sat On A Bean Bag and Started To Text People, Mikey Walked In and I Knew What Was Coming My Way.

''Oh Hey To You Too Linc, Yeah, Im Goog, Oh No I Don't Need any Help Carrying Amps To The Van, Thanks For Offering Though,'' The Sarcastic Son Of Stitch. I Huffed and Walked To The Corner Of The Room and Picked Up Both Of My Guitars, Earth, My Acoustic Guitar, and Blue, My Electric Guitar. I Got Earth From My Mum When I Was Fourteen and I Bought Blue On My Sixteenth Birthday, He Was My First Big Purchase. 

After Loading Everything In To The Van, Kalel Appeared Out Of Her Room With Her Own Guitar, Sheamus, We Locked Up The House and Were Waiting On The Steps Of The House Waiting For Archie's Car, I Loved His Car, A Red Range Rover Evoque, AKA The Most Comfiest Place To Be Stuck In For An Hour.

We Only Waited For A Couple Of Minutes Till The Car Rolled Up The Gravel Path and Stopped Infront Of Us. Lou Got Out Of The Back and Held The Back Doro Open, He Couldn't Help But Be A Gentlemen. We Said A Quick See You Later To Mikey Before Getting In To The Backseat, Lou Went Right To The Back and Lied Down On The Seats. I Bought Earth With Me and We Just Decided To Jam Out In The Car. Louis and His Drumsticks, Me and Kalel On Guitar, Kieran In Between Us On Vocals.
