2 - Change Your Ticket
[During college vaccations, 11th December. Around 12pm at Louis' appartment]
Danielle: (squeals excitedly) "Louis hurry up! Come here! I got an email from New York Film Academy! Guess what?!"
Louis: (makes his way towards Danielle who's standing in Louis' hall) New York? (dramatically) "What would beauty be without ugliness, you're important here." (fakes wiping tears)
Danielle: (Annoyingly) I don't even know why I came here to tell you this.(sad) It's just because I have no one to tell how happy I am except you and my brother. Only if my mom dad were here."
Louis: (hugs Danielle) "I am happy for you. If you need me then you can call me"(makes a straight face) "but don't call me everyday. (Danielle smiles hugging Louis)
Danielle: "But hey !! Can you believe I finally got an email from them? I am going to New York! Can you believe it?Huh?! My wish is coming true." (Dances excitedly)
Louis: "I can't believe that they have such a poor taste in selecting people." (Danielle glares to which Louis laughs) "Hold-up. . .When is your flight baby?"
Danielle: "Oh I forgot to check that. (Opens the letter once again and goes through the ticket) It says 12th December at 12pm."
Louis: (raises his eyebrow) "Well, When is 12th Dec-"
Danielle: (shouts at the top of her voice) "How can- What the hell! 12th is tomorrow Louis. (panicks) How can I leave so early? How can they just tell me one day before?
Louis: So that means you're leaving tomorrow at 12 pm?!(Points out to the white letter) What does that one say?
Danielle: (opens the letter and reads it) "It says - Sorry Miss Danielle your letter was misplaced by one of our staff member. We are glad that we found your letter and the amazing video attached to it-"
Louis: (smirks) "What video? Our sexy sex tape?"
Danielle: "Shut up! That was my college drama club audition video. So where was I. . ." (Continues reading) "the amazing video attached to it-"
Louis: (jests)"You don't need to use the word amazing again and again when we both know it was awful."
Danielle: (offended) "I am just reading what is written in the letter now can you just shut your mouth and let me complete it. So moving on- As the misplacing of the letter was a mistake from our behalf, we will hereby send a cab for picking you up from your house to the airport and will also take into consideration some of your expenses. (folds the letter and takes a deep breath) So it seems that I am leaving tommorow for around 14 days trip. I'll miss you Lou."
Louis: (quickly says) "You should start packing."
Danielle: "Ye-yeah! (takes all her stuff from Louis' and leaves the house)
Louis: "Maybe i'll miss her too." (gets a call from Liam) "Hey bro!-Oh-today?- Yes. I am always free. See you at the club Payno." (Call ends) "or maybe i'll miss her not."

[Danielle's appartment. 5:30 pm]
Harry- (Sad) "So are you done with packing?"
Danielle- (smiles) "I'll miss you Harry. Don't forget to take your medicines, you have cold and don't forget to do your homework. Don't just stay all day on laptop. Okay?"
Harry: (smiles fondly) "I know. I am 16 years old. (In a serious tone) I can take care of myself."
Danielle: (complains) "But someone still forgot to take medicines last night, right?"
Harry: "That's just once!"
Danielle: "I don't want to leave you like this. But no problem I am keeping a babysitter for you."
Harry: (eyes wide)"What?! Noooo! Wh- No don't do this. I am sixteen oh god... I can take care of myself. I know I didn't take my medicines before but I promise I will. Just don't keep a babysitter."
Danielle: I have to Harry. . . Sorry. I cannot leave you alone for 14 days on your own. You don't even have a job, you aren't legal Haz. I'm sorry.
Harry: (pouts) "Fine! Do whatever you want. Just tell whoever the babysitter is to stay away from me."
Danielle: Good. I will call them. (tries calling three babysitters but everyone declines) What's up with all of 'em?
Harry:(smiles sheepishly) I am happy that none of them agreed to come here.
Danielle: Maybe there is one person left. I hope he says yes. There's a negative 99 percent chance of him to agree but I'll give it a try otherwise (sad) I'll cancel my trip.

[At 8pm. Louis' appartment]
(Louis and danielle on a call)
Danielle: Hey Lou!
Louis: Hey Dan! Done with packing?
Danielle: Yes but it seems that I am cancelling my trip.
Louis: What?! Are you again on your periods because you are driving me insane now.
Danielle: It's because I am not able to find a babysitter for Harry.
Louis: Who? Harreh?
Danielle: My brother Louis. He is 16 and he is very sensitive at times. I need someone to babysit him and take care of him while I'm gone. I tried calling some care-takers but no one is ready to come at this moment...
Louis: So? Now?
Danielle: There are two options I am left with.
Louis: Hm?
Danielle: Either I cancel my trip or (silence)or you babysit my brother.
Louis: Babysit! what?! No fucking way! Are you crazy? I have better things to do.
Danielle: Please Lou. It's just 14 days. I'll be back soon.
Louis: No way!
Danielle: Even you have a dream to sing Lou, don't you? Well, (sad) I-I got my opportunity for the first time. All I wished is in front of me. Please Lou, understand me. . .This can make my career..I need this !
Louis: You don't understand. I've never ever taken care of anyone. That's just not me. How can I take care of a 16 year old lad? It's a No.
Danielle: (sarcastic) Why did I ever keep some hope on you?!
Louis: That's your proble- (Danielle cuts the phone) What the hell! This is the first time someone hangs up the call on my face. . . except when I called the boy I thought was a girl, Justin. HA! That was really fun. It's funny how he looks so beautiful and charming but ofcourse not as good as me.
The only difference between us is that his father allowed him to become a singer but my dad dosen't even support me (sad) How I wish if I could share my voice with people. I think i'll never ever get such an opportuninty. Justin is lucky and even Daniell-
(but she isn't able to go and live her dreams. Her last hope was me. Should I say yes? This is such a great chance for her to prove herself. I think I know what i have to do)

[Danielle's appartment. At 2am]
Danielle: (wakes up by a strange whistling voice coming from the window) Harry? (Turns on the light) Louis?! What are you doing here?
Louis: It's so careless of you to keep the window open but guess what?! I'll babysit your brother. Where is he? How does he look like? I atleast need a resume 'bout him.
Danielle: (frown slowly disappears into happiness) Thank you! Thank you so much Lou. Harry is sleeping in his room and you can use mine when you stay here. Wait up! How did you suddenly change your mind?
Louis: Don't ask questions and just remember that you owe me for this. (Yawns) It's 2am and I'm sleepy and by the way cheerio in advance. Happy journey. Don't wake me up tomorrow just to say goodbye. I am not a morning person so don't make me grumpy. Goodnight! (sleeps on Danielle's bed)
Danielle: (turns off the light) Thank you Louis. (kisses his forehead) This bad boy has a golden heart. Goodnight!
