Making It Up As We Go Along

33. Paparazzi

Elizabeth's POV
I must have fallen asleep during the movie, as when I wake up, Robbie is in the kitchen making all of us breakfast. I smile and walk up to him.

"Morning babe." He gives me a kiss and smiles at me.

"Morning Lizzie, did you sleep well?" I nod. "I'm still so tired though." "Yeah, I think we all are. Is Nellie still sleeping?" "Yep. Out like a rock." I tell him.

I help Robbie make waffles and sat down with him.

"If Nellie has started feeling better, we should go to Griffith Park." I tell Robbie. He nods. "Yeah, I could use a nice walk in the park there. Maybe we could go to the Farmer's market too." I smile at Robbie and eat my breakfast.

After a few minutes, Nellie was up and in the kitchen.

"Morning Nellie. Here, have some breakfast." I pull up a chair for Nellie and put a plate of buttermilk pancakes in front of her.

"Thanks mom. I'm sorry about last night." Nellie told me as I sat down next to her. "No sweetie, it's fine. Don't worry about it, I'm always here for you."

"So, Lizzie, are we going to do the hike up to the Hollywood Sign when we go to the park, or no?" Robbie asks me, putting the plates away. "Probably just going to the park, unless Nellie wants to see it."

"Oh my gosh, I've always wanted to go to the Hollywood Sign!" Nellie exclaimed. "I guess that's your answer Robbie." I smiled at the two of them and went to go get ready.

I put on a blue tank top with a flannel sweater, leggings and comfortable shoes. Then, I grab my sunglasses and get ready to go.

"Nellie, Robbie? Are you guys ready?" I asked, running downstairs. They nodded and we got into the car.

"Woah. This is beautiful!" Nellie exclaimed as we got out of the car and started walking through the park.

"Okay, so first we are going to walk through the park and then we are going to hike up to the Hollywood Sign. We have our portable chargers and our water, we should be good." I say, grabbing my bag.

We walk through the park for a little and then notice a little stand selling lemonade and fruit. We all got some and started our way up the hike.

Unfortunately, as soon as we had started to walk away from the park and to the hiking trail, I saw what I had forgotten about; The Paparazzi.

"Elizabeth! Elizabeth!"

I grabbed Nellie, pulling her close to me and taking her hand. "Let's go, come on."

Nellie looks at me, worried.

"Nellie, I've got you. It's okay, don't be scared. I've dealt with this hundreds of times." I made sure Robbie was behind us and we ran over to the trail.

"Thanks mom." Nellie told me as we started our hike. "Of course."
