Loving A Friend ( A Daniel Radcliffe Love Story) Part 11

Recap:
"Deena, do you really want to work at that parlor in the mall?" Jackie asked you. "Well yea.I need some extra cash, and something to do everyday. I'm bored to death sitting around here doing nothing." you told her as you put on your new large loop earings. "Well, you can always go sit around doing nothing next door." Jackie suggested with intent that was clear. You couldn't help but smile. The telephone rang just as you were about to say something. Do you remember?



"Hold on Jackie." you said to your friend as you picked up your phone.

~~$$~~* Your conversation on the phone*~~$$~~

YOU:Hello?

PERSON: Good afternoon,this Marcia.How are you?

YOU: Hello Mrs. Radcliffe, I'm fine thank you and yourself?

Mrs. Radcliffe: Great! Please call me Marcia, Deena. My husband and I are planning a surprise going away party on New Year's Eve for Daniel. I would appreciate it if you came.

YOU: Oh.Wow.Sure! I'd love to come! Thank you for inviting me.

Mrs.Radcliffe: Oh no problem. I'll send you a more formal invitation soon.

YOU: Thank you Mrs.Radcliffe...I'm mean Marcia.

Mrs.Radcliffe: Alright.Have a nice day.

YOU: Same to you.Good bye.

~~$$~~*END CONVERSATION*~~$$~~

"Who was that?" Jackie asked, while playing around in your accessory box.

"Mrs.Radcliffe" you informed her, teasingly vague.

Jackie turned to look at you with wide eyes."You talk to his mother?"

You simply blinked innocently in her direction and walked over to your radio.

"Well....?" Jackie encouraged.

"Well." you giggled.

"What did she want?" She pressed on impatiently.

"She invited me to a surprise going away party for Daniel." you told her finally.

"Well?" she repeated.

"Well what?"

"Are you going?" she asked standing up.

"I don't know.I doubt it th-"

"Stop! What do you mean you doubt it? You said that your whole winter schedule was free! Hello!?! There goes one thing for your list. And besides this is the perfect opportunity to get a chance at Daniel!" she said quickly cutting you off.

"He'll be going away."You argued.

"Even better! Because if he does, which I highly doubt, reject you, He won't be around anyway for you to feel agony of awkwardness and all..." she shrugged.

You gave her an incredulous look.You couldn't believe all she just said.Your friend was pretty crazy!

"Ok mom!" you retorted sarcastically at her.

"Good girl." she said with a fake motherly tone.

Soon it was time for Jackie to leave. She told you that in 4 days she would be going with her family to her grandmother's house so she probably wouldn't see you for most of the break. You exchanged early christmas presents. You gave her a new tennis bracelet and she got you a new guitar pick and a Cobra Starship CD.

You were writing a song in your journal when you looked outside your window. It had been snowing all day but the sky was clear.You could see the full moon and the stars brightly.You looked to the clock on your nightstand. It read 10:00. Since you weren't at all tired, due to the long nap you had, you decided that you wanted to go outside and watch the stars.

You were wearing this:

You put on another coat and your scarf then made your way past the family room where your little brother and father were watching a television program.

"Hello Daddy." you greeted him walking over to his side and kissing his cheek.

"Hey Deena. I haven't seen you in a while." He said looking up from the TV set. He took in your appearance.

"You're not going out are you?" he asked firmly.

"OoOo, you're in trouble!" Ricky snickered beside him.

You glared at him, causing him to cut off in fear. "Of course not Dad, I'm just going out to the lake for a while."

"By yourself?" he questioned suspiciously.

*Great, Mom must've said something to him.*

"Yes Father." You answered as you walked to the glass sliding door that led to your backyard, rolling your eyes when he was out of view. You only called him 'Father' when you were cross with him.

"Okay but don't stay out there too long. I don't want you catching a cold." he called before you slid the door shut.

"Sure, sure."

You crossed the yard to the lake that was near the woods. You sat on the snow covered grass under a tree near the lake. You leaned against the frame of the tree and tilted your head upwards to look at the sky. The stars were so bright tonight it was amazing.

"Wow." you breathed..

"It's beautiful isn't it?" came an unfamiliar voice, startling you.
