Dear Journal,
Yesterday was amazing! It all started when I was talking to Kaylie.
“Hey, girl!”
“Yep?”
“So…I’ve got very crazy good news!”
“Well, what is it? Something Good?”
“Yup! I just want to say…Ronan invited me…to come over and visit him!”
“What!? Really!?”
“Yes, I am 100% telling the truth!”
And then, we squealed like CRAZY!
“That is so flipping cool!”
“Flipping ‘Awesome’ you mean!”
“Touché!”
My day just couldn’t get any better.
It was a half day during filming; I was still excited to visit Ronan.
After some filming about a fight with Marcellus's army, and seeing Ronan getting punched by Odette, at 12:30pm…the ULTIMATE…GREAT DAY…WAS…ON!
To save him some time to get things ready, I waited for an hour for…until 1:35pm. It wasn’t far…it was across from my house!
Just kidding, it’s the same way to Pinewood Studios, actually. I skipped throughout the way.
“I’m going to have so much fun!” I told myself.
I heard piano music coming from a house I walked by. And from the window; a young boy was playing…that beautiful piano!
Too beautiful if you ask me!
The boy turned around…it was Ronan! I was so in awe. I was greeted by his mother I’m guessing…yup!
“Welcome…Sabrina, right?”
“Yes!”
She looked at me the same way Ronan did when apologized to me: like she knew me before.
“I’m Cara.”
“His mother?”
“Yes!”
“Nice to meet you!”
I replied while still entranced to the music.
“My son is really good at the piano!”
“Cool!”
“Well, come on in! He’ll be down momentarily”
“Okay!”
Cara escorted me inside; the music got louder.
“His room is on the right, next to the bathroom.”
“Thank you!”
I walked upstairs, and my heart was swaying like a palm tree in July. I took a peak at the door.
His eyes were SO beautiful, shining in the sunlight!
“He’s SO graceful! And SO cute! And he sounds incredible too.” I said to myself, “He is just so cute!”
“Isn’t he just?” Whispered a woman.
She also looked at me funny too!
What is up with his family!? Why do they all look at me like they know me, whenever I visit someone!?
Anyways, the woman said, “You’re Sabrina, right?”
“Yup!”
“I’m Phoebe, his sister!”
“Nice to meet you! Tell me Phoebe, what piece is Ronan practicing?”
“I don't know, he likes to make up different kinds of songs, you know freestyle. He did that last year at the winter concert at the school where he has piano lessons in Galway!”
“Like at a cafeteria?”
“Yup!”
“My best friend plays the piano too! But I don’t see him anymore.”
“Wow,” Phoebe said, “That’s very…sad!”
“I know…but…I guess it might’ve been fate! You know, I was only allowed to see him…for a certain amount of time.”
“I see. How old are you?”
“12, you?”
“I’m 18.”
“So is my cousin!”
“Awesome!” said Phoebe, a bit confused.
The music stopped.
“Come!” Phoebe said, “Ronan’s coming out now!”
We dashed downstairs as Ronan made his way down stairs. He was pretty happy to see me (because I gave him a hug!).
We mainly had a chat in his room. We talked a bunch! We told jokes, our crazy and embarrassing moments, how we sometimes blushed…in front of people that we liked.
We both died laughing. Did I laugh too hard? No! Not one bit!
And then I found myself kissing him. Until, 20 minutes later, Phoebe caught us.
We ran out of the room, screaming. Just in time for Mom to pick me up!
But just when I opened the door, Phoebe shouted out “Admit it that you kissed!”
Mom just stood there for a moment.
Please, please, please don’t say that I’m grounded, that would be great, thank you! I thought.
But…she wasn’t mad…she was overjoyed!
And then Cara came down, and she and Mom started screaming their heads off! I completely did NOT understand what was going on. Did NOT!
I had a lingering feeling that my mom and Cara knew each other before I was born; I was right; I didn’t believe it. This visit was very extraordinary.
Me and Ronan went out to the backyard.
We sat down and Ronan said, “I’m sorry. I should’ve warned you about Phoebe. She can be a pain in the bum sometimes. So can my brother Finnegan as well.”
“That’s how siblings are,” I said, “I have to hand it to you, Ashley can be a pretty handful too!”
We then kissed again, but quickly broke free! Then I thought of something. The love spell breaks when in an awkward time or place.
And that was in an awkward time and place. I’ll write to you soon!
All the best, Sabrina.
