We walked into Starbucks and Frank and I walked straight over to an empty table. Meanwhile, Mikey and Ray stood in line to get coffee.
"Sorry about this..." said Frank quietly.
"About what?" I asked.
"About Mikey and Ray...I didn't know they were going to be here."
"I don't care...they're your friends right? Why can't I meet my own brother's friends?"
"I know they've been wanting to meet you..."
I looked at him shocked. His friends wanted to meet me? Mikey walked over to the table and sat down with a coffee tray in his hands.
"Where's Ray?" asked Frank.
"Uh...bathroom." replied Mikey.
Frank nodded and stood up.
"Kate, you wanted a cocoa and bagel right?" he asked.
"Yeah Frank...thanks." I replied as he walked to the counter.
Mikey sipped his coffee and adjusted his glasses from the tip of his nose...to closer to his eyes. I just looked out the window.
"So your Frank's sister..." stated Mikey.
I looked over at him and nodded. He smiled and sipped his coffee.
"I work with Frank...well more like intern with him at the Eyeball Records House."
"Intern?" I asked...I didn't know Frank worked there.
"Yeah...how old are you?" he asked.
"I'm 16..." I replied.
"So..you're about...4 years younger than Frank...."
I nodded and looked back out the window, when Frank walked over with his coffee, my cocoa and 2 bagels.
"Here you go..." he said, placing the cocoa in front of me.
"Thanks...." I smiled as he sat down in between Mikey and I.
"Hey guys..." said Ray, sitting down on the other side of Mikey.
"Hi..." said Mikey, handing him a coffee.
"Thanks..." replied Ray.
At that moment a man with a growing mustache and a beard walked through the door.
"Matt!" Ray waved.
The man walked over and sat down.
"Hey guys!" he said.
"Where's Gerard?" asked Mikey.
"Oh...feeding the meter outside." replied Matt.
The guys nodded when another man walked in. He had black dyed hair. He walked over to the table when Mikey stood up and hugged him. They both sat down when there was a loud crash, followed by a rumble.
"What was that?" asked Frank.
We all stood up and walked outside. People were screaming...crying...you name it. I'm not gonna lie, I was scared. Frank put his hand on my shoulder, when I felt all five guys around me.
"Oh my god..." came Gerard's voice and he pointed up into the air.
We all looked up. Down the street, falling debris, flames, and who knows what, was falling from one of the Twin Towers. A man ran by and Gerard stopped him.
"What happened? What crashed into the tower?"
"A plane! A plane!" the man yelled.
I looked at Frank to see him looking at me with a worried face. Matt and Ray both had shocked faces, while Mikey just kept shaking his head.
"Frank...I wanna leave..." I said, turning towards him.
"I agree...we're gonna head home." said Frank, turning towards his friends.
"We're going to follow you out." stated Gerard.
When Frank and I got into the car, Gerard and the guys got into their's which was parked behind Frank's. As we pulled out, another loud rumble followed by an explosion occurred. We both looked out the window to see another plane crash into the other tower. It was 9:03 am...not even 17 minutes after the other crash. I was starting to feel uneasy.
"Frank...please hurry home." I groaned.
"Just don't think about it, I'll get there as fast as I can."
*30-45 minutes later*
Pulling into the driveway made me feel relieved. I got out of the car and began to walk into the house, when the rest of the guys showed up. They all got out and followed Frank and I into the house. My Dad, Grandpa and Great Uncle were sitting on the couch in the living room. Mom walked into the hallway when she saw us. Automatically, her expression turned from anger and worry to complete relief.
