Spring Break // Helpless II

𝚘𝚗𝚎: 𝚊 𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚌𝚔 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚙

I sat in Algebra on Friday, thinking about last year's spring break. This year's was coming up, and my parents said they would surprise me. Hold on a second, let's go back a year. Anyways, long story short, my mom made a friend online named Mrs. Simons. We invited her and her family (who was from the UK) to Florida for spring break. Turns out, Mrs. Simons' son was the famous youtuber TommyInnit. Basically, we kinda sorta fell in love. Also, that was when I was told I was moving to North Carolina. I hadn't seen Tommy in person in over a year.The last thing he'd said to me in person was 'Until we meet again.' I'd done dozens of calls with him. I myself was now semi-famous as his girlfriend. That fact helped me make friends at my new school in North Carolina. I was way more popular here than I was at my old school. Still, that didn't help the fact that I missed that place desperately. Even more so, I missed my friend Rose. A couple of times, maybe once every two or three months, our family would drive to our old town and I would have a sleepover with Rose and some of my other friends. Anyways, life in North Carolina was going better than I'd anticipated. I sometimes went on call with Tommy and played Minecraft under the username of Invisibledragonfly.

Let's go to the present. Like I said, I was sitting in Algebra thinking about spring break. The bell finally rang for lunch. I sat in the cafeteria with my friends Tessa, Mia, Laurel, Alec, and Aiden. I wasn't as close to any of them as I ever was to Rose, but they were still great friends. We talked about our plans for spring break until lunch was over. The rest of the day passed overwhelmingly slow. The final bell rang and we were finally dismissed. I got onto the bus and rode home. I didn't need to pack my bags because I already did. I was told to pack for five days of cool weather. I still didn't have a clue where we were going. The next morning, we got into the car. We drove for a very long time, almost six hours. We arrived at an airport in Georgia. I was very surprised. We went inside, passed through all of security, and waited at our terminal. I stared at my phone. I read a few messages from Tommy.

They said:

What are you doing for spring break

Remember what happened a year ago

Answer me Eliza

Please I am so bored

please

Tommy's nickname for me was Eliza because of this one time when I was forced to sing the song Helpless to him because of a bet that I lost.

I responded with:

Idk yet. We are at an airport but my parents won't tell us where we are going

Before I could see his response, I heard someone say, "Lindsey?"

I knew it wasn't my family. I barely bothered looking up. I just assumed it was a fan. I was still getting used to being recognized.

"Yes, that's me," I said waving my hand.

"No, Lindsey. Look up! It's me, Rose!"

I looked up immediately. Rose and her family stood in front of me. I was too stunned to even speak. I hadn't seen her in a while. I gave her a giant hug.

"Rose! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed.

"We're going to Brighton!" she replied. "What about you?" she asked.

"My parents won't tell me," I answered.

"That's the surprise! We're all going to Brighton together!" my mom said.

I jumped up and down. I immediately got out my phone and texted Tommy.

TOMMY GUESS WHAT

GUESS WHAT

GUESS WHAT

I KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING

WE ARE GOING TO BRIGHTON

WE AS IN ME AND ROSE

He texted back extremely quickly.

NO WAY

THAT IS WHERE I'M GOING

I WAS GOING TO SEE WILBUR BUT NOW I GET TO SEE YOU TOO

I was very excited.

"Guess what, Rose?" I asked her.

"What?"

"Tommy said that he would be in Brighton, too! Someone else might could be there too..." I told her.

"Wait, don't tell me-" she started.

"It's Wilbur!" I finished for her.

She broke into a grin. Wilbur was her favorite SMP character. I'd talked to him maybe once or twice before on a call, but nothing much.
