Ready and Waiting to Fall
Chapter 8
Monday, May 14, 2007 – London, England
From: Rob Pattinson < rtpattinson@gmail.com > -- I’m really feeling that trouble Millie. If I go out drinking ever again remind me of this moment I’m in now. Guh. Glad to know someone’s on my side when it comes to saving me from my sisters. They actually weren’t too bad yesterday though. So I had a decent time with my parents and them for my birthday. I got a couple of books and some guitar strings. Now when I’ll get to read them I don’t know. Did you find anything good during your trip to the bookstore yesterday? I don’t think I can picture you being “mushy-mushy” as you put it, nor could I knock you upside the head if you ever were. That would not be very gentlemanly of me to do that to you now would it? : ) How was hanging out with your sisters? Did you watch any good movies? Oh, I used to get that from my sisters too when they weren’t dressing me up like a doll. It must be in some big sister “handbook” to torture your younger sibling. Victoria’s only five years older then me and Lizzy is three so we’re a lot closer in age then you, Maggie and Maisie. Really Millie? Starz in Their Eyes. I thought you had better taste in music than that. But for you, and because you said you’d love me forever I bought the song and have attached it. I hope you can open it and listen till your heart’s content. *shakes head* I have so much to do before I go to Spain this weekend. I’ve got an apartment there now, which is good because I was starting to wonder. They took forever to let me know about it. So that’s taken care of and now I’ve got a million more things to do. I guess I should suck up this hangover and actually start my day. Robbie
I really did have a lot to do this week before I headed to Spain to start filming Little Ashes. I was looking forward to living there for a couple of months because I hadn’t spent much time there. So after I sent that e-mail to Millie and popped a few more aspirin, I grabbed my dirty laundry and one of the books I was reading on Dali and headed down the street to the Laundromat. I was happy to see that there were several machines not in use so I wouldn’t have to wait. I threw all of my clothes into one washer, dumped some soap into it, set the water temperature to cold and then sat down in one of the hard plastic chairs to read my book while my clothes washed.
From: Millie < millie_mae_85@gmail.com > -- I wish you didn’t feel so poopy. I’ll try and remember to remind you about it. Welcome to the 21st Birthday Club. Maybe now you know why I don’t drink to get drunk anymore. : ) I found a couple of novels to read. So I’m going to start on one today. I don’t know which one though … maybe I’ll go for the Sarah Dessen book first because I consider her one of my favorite authors. And the other one is some book with vampires in it, which I don’t ever read, but I thought I should give it a shot. Hopefully you’ll find some time to read the books you got for your birthday. You should have some time off while you’re in Spain. Right? Speaking of Spain, that’s good you have a place to stay. It probably wouldn’t be much fun to live on the streets there. I suppose it wouldn’t be very nice of you to knock me upside the head. We’ll have to come up with another solution to that insanity known as mushy-mushy. *thinks* Last night was good. We watched some girly movies and we talked about girly stuff so I won’t bore you with those details. Ooo … I want pictures! I bet they had fun with you especially because you are the little brother. Maybe we should search out this handbook so we could get into the minds of our older sisters. It just might come in handy someday. The song works! YAY! I do have better taste in music than that … I can’t help it if the song is extra catchy and the only way I can get rid of it is to listen to it. Now I can officially love you forever. Thanks Robbie. So what exciting things did you do today in the lovely city of London? Millie
From: Rob Pattinson < rtpattinson@gmail.com > -- I guess I could see why you wouldn’t drink for that reason anymore. Sadly a reminder probably still wouldn’t stop me. Maybe I have a problem? So now what kind of books does Sarah Dessen write? You seem like you’d read girly books. Am I right? Especially after the whole “I don’t read books about vampires” comment, what made you pick that book up? Living on the streets definitely would not be a good thing. I’m sure if I had to they would have put me up in a hotel. Apartments are just more comfortable. I am looking forward to spending some time in Barcelona because I haven’t been there before, and it’ll be nice if they give us some free time so I can see some of the sites. Thanks for sparing me. I don’t think you’ll be seeing any pictures of what Victoria and Lizzy did to me. I don’t even know if there are any. I hope not … that could be bad. I washed my clothes and went to my agent’s office. Yup, definitely not too exciting which is just fine after last night. You’re welcome for the song Millie. Rob
From: Millie < millie_mae_85@gmail.com > -- The first step in realizing you have a problem is to admit it. I think as long as you aren’t out every night you’ll be okay. Sarah Dessen writes books for teenage girls. I still read some teeny books, but they’re so good! And you’re right: I do like what is often called “chick-lit.” There are two authors from England whose books I have read, Jane Green and Sophie Kinsella/Madeline Wickham. So the vampire book is definitely a new one for me, but if I remember correctly from the synopsis I believe its some sort of romance too. We’ll see – I’ll keep you posted. Let’s see – when you’re in Barcelona, you have to go see the Sagrada Familia by Antoni Gaudi, and the Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Mies is one of my favorite architects. The Pavilion is a reconstruction of the original but it is still a pretty cool building. I wish I could have gotten out to Barcelona when I was over there, but it didn’t happen. One more place to add to the list of must sees. It is supposed to a fantastic place for architecture. Darn … I’m disappointed that there aren’t any pictures. I bet you’re one of those guys who just stuffs everything into one machine and calls it a day. Am I right? How long are you supposed to be in Spain for? I’m guessing it’ll be kind of like when you were doing How to Be and I didn’t get to hear from you much? : ( Millie
I wished Millie was still in Rome. I bet she would have come up to Barcelona and we could have seen each other again. It sucked that I met such a great girl and then she has to live over in the U.S. Life was not fair. I knew I was going to be really busy while I was filming, but I would do the best I could to keep e-mailing her everyday. There was no way I was going to lose track of Millie.
From: Rob Pattinson < rtpattinson@gmail.com > -- It’s good to know I’ll be okay. ; ) You know I think one of my sisters reads books by those authors. The names seem really familiar, like I’ve seen the books around at one of their flats or something. Thanks for the suggestions of sites to see. You know you can always come back over here and we could see them together. Just a suggestion … You’ve got me there with the laundry. Why waist all that time separating when you can toss it all into one machine and be done in an hour instead of a day long project? Plus I hate doing laundry. I’m supposed to be in Spain for a couple of months. Don’t worry though I’m going to write to you as much as I can. I don’t plan on losing touch with you anytime soon. Sorry for the sad and pathetic response, but I’m just really sleepy all of a sudden. I’ll catch ya tomorrow. Robbie | ||
