5- Tripped
A/N- Holy crap you guys Cat on the Balcony is at 19K!! It took 8 months for it to reach 10K, and it's almost gone up another 10K in about 2 months! Thank you guys so so so much!!
The first thing I did when I woke up was check my email, but I hadn't gotten a response from Tyler yet. I wonder what he's like? What does he look like?
I hope we get along and this works out, because music is all I have ever wanted to do in my life, but I'm slowly losing hope. So far, nothing has worked out in my favor.
I rolled out of my bed and made my way into the kitchen. Setting my phone on the counter, I went about scrounging up things I could eat for breakfast.
Well, lunch actually. It was already twelve. I really need to go to bed earlier...
Eh.
I ended up eating a bowl of cereal and an apple. It wasn't a lot and I know I'll be hungry again pretty soon, but it would have to do for now.
I was putting my bowl in the kitchen sink when I heard my phone vibrate on the counter. It scared me and made me drop the ceramic bowl into the metal sink, filling the sink with jagged shards.
I cursed under my breath and began to gingerly pick up the biggest pieces of the ceramic and dropping them into the nearby trash can. Once I successfully picked out the biggest pieces without getting cut or stabbed, I washed the small pieces down the drain so I wouldn't hurt myself on them later.
After I finally got all the mess cleared up, I went over to my phone to see what I broke my bowl over. It was an email.
From Tyler.
I hurriedly unlocked my phone and went straight to the email, taking a deep breath, preparing myself for the worst just in case, and opened the email.
"Hey Josh, glad to hear from you! I'd love to meet up with you and talk. Would either today or tomorrow work? I understand if not because that is really short notice, I'm just really excited for us to start working together! Well, I mean if you say yes that is...anyways can't wait to hear back from you! -Tyler"
Aw, he seems really nice. I don't have anything going on today, so I emailed him back asking if he could meet around three at my favorite coffee shop. It wasn't that far from my apartment. I go there so often almost all of the staff knows my name. I may or may not have a slight caffeine problem...
After I sent the email, I went over and sat on the couch and turned on the TV while I waited for a response. I saw that Fight Club was playing and said a silent prayer of thanks. There was nothing on yesterday, and this is my favorite movie ever.
I was so engrossed in the movie that I almost didn't notice my phone go off when Tyler replied. He agreed to meet at three, and apparently he also really like the shop. I wonder if I've ever seen him there before?
I watched the last of the movie, it ended a little after two, and went to go get ready. I slipped on a gray NASA t-shirt, black skinny jeans, a gray snapback, and my black Vans. I wear this t-shirt way too often, but I don't care. I love this thing.
I grabbed my wallet off of my nightstand, and went back into the living room to grab my phone off the couch where I left it.
By this time it was twenty minutes until I had to be at the shop. It was only a little over five minutes away by car, but it was really nice outside today, so I decided to leave now and walk there.
I slipped in my headphones and began the short walk. It was fairly warm out today, but there was a consistent breeze blowing through that made it feel like the perfect temperature. I hummed along to my music as I walked, giving small smiles to passing strangers as I continued on.
When I was almost there, I tripped on an uneven spot in the sidewalk and fell down to the ground. With a groan of frustration I rolled over onto my back and saw a little boy let go of his mom's hand and ran over to me.
"Are you ok mister?" He asked, his big blue eyes wide with concern. I laughed a little as I looked up at him, squinting slightly from the sun.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Thank you for asking." He gave me a smile and extended his little hand out to help me up, making my heart swell.
I love kids, especially ones like this. I sat up a little and took his hand, completely encasing his small dainty hand with my large calloused one. He started to pull backwards as hard as his little muscles would let him. I smiled as I stood up from the ground, making sure to not accidentally knock him over.
By this point his mom had reached us; a large smile was on her face as she watched the scene unfold. Once I was off the ground I leaned down and spoke to the little boy once again.
"Thank you for helping me, my name is Josh. What is yours?"
"I'm Patrick, Patrick Stump! And this is my mama!" He said as he grabbed to woman's hand once again, beaming up at her with a look that showed he thought she practically hung the moon.
I remember those days, when your parent's seemed like superheroes to you. I looked at his mom and reached out to shake her hand.
"Thanks for playing along with him," she said quietly so Patrick wouldn't hear, "my name is Patricia."
"It's nice to meet you ma'am, but I really have to get going. I'm going to be late meeting someone."
She gave me an understanding smile, so I leaned back down to Patrick and gave him a high-five, told him thanks once again, and told him good-bye. He gave me the biggest grin before running off with his mom.
With a smile on my face I continued on to the shop, but that smile did not last long. I opened up the doors, and guess who was the first person I saw?
Fluffy.
