Making It Up As We Go Along

37. Packing

Lizzie's POV
After we got home, we decided that we should start packing for our trip. We would be going to Ohio in the next few days and we would be going to Florida afterwards.

I helped Nellie find the suitcase that she had brought with her when we came back to California and I let her go pack.

I walk into mine and Robbie's viridian green room and pull out my red suitcase. I start going through my drawers and pack what I would need for the next two weeks. Last but not least, I ironed out a black dress that I had gotten once from my sisters and hung it up for a minute while I went to go find Robbie's suitcase.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of something falling. I turned around to see that my cup of coffee had fallen and spilt onto the dress.

"Fuck!" I screamed, running to try to get the stain out of the dress.

Robbie quickly ran into the room to see what was wrong.

"Lizzie, baby. Is everything alright?" He puts his arm around my shoulder and looks back at me. I roll my eyes. "No Robbie, it is not. I spilt coffee on my only black dress, which means the only other black dress I have is at my mom's house." Robbie rubs my back.

"That's okay Lizzie, we can go to your mom's and get the dress." I shrug my shoulders. "I don't really wanna bother mom and it's on too short of notice to get my sisters to make one, but I just need one for the funeral on Saturday."

"Lizzie, your mom would be okay with it. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem if we went over to see her. Besides, she'll get to spend more time with Nellie." "Okay Robbie, you're right. I'll tell her we are coming over."

I text my mom and then go to tell Nellie. I walk into her room and see her packing.

"Hey sweetie, how's it going?" I put my arm around her as she closes the suitcase.

"Good, I just finished." "Great baby, I know this is going to be hard for you, but I'm here and I love you." I smile as she hugs me.

"So, we are going to go to my mom's house to find a black dress for me today I wear Saturday." I tell her. Nellie nods and gets ready to go.
