Elizabeth's POV
When we got home, I saw that it was noon and I decided to go wake Nellie up, seeing as though she still was asleep. I mean, she probably needed the sleep because tomorrow she was going to have to go back to where she grew up and this weekend she would be going to her family's funeral, but she still needed to get up.

"Nellie sweetie, wake up." I said, lightly nudging her shoulder with my hand.

"No. I wanna sleep." Nellie tells me, rolling back ever.  I decide to do what I knew would actually work. "Nellie, Paul Bettany and Owen Wilson are here."

With that Nellie immediately jumped up and ran to her closet, putting on her Loki t-shirt that she got at the mall. She then turns to me.

"Where are they?!" I laughed.

"Not here. I just knew about your crushes, so, I thought that would get you up." Nellie turns bright red. "H-how did you know about my crushes mother?"

I then pulled out the journal that was behind my back that I had found and handed it to her.

"You left your journal on the couch. By the way, I loved the fact that you wrote out the song from Wind River." She blushed and I left her to finish getting ready.

Throughout the day, I helped Nellie finish packing her suitcase and I watched her and Robbie practice the song she was gonna sing at the funeral.

Then, we ended the day by watching Endgame, per Nellie's request. While we watched the movie, I checked my phone to see I got a text from Ashley.

"Hey Robbie?" I asked my husband.

"Yeah Lizzie, what's up?" "Should I be concerned that Louis bought Ashley a Machete?" I asked.

"Why did he buy your sister a Machete? I already get nervous enough around her." "Honestly, I don't know. Oh great, there's a picture."

We all started laughing and I put my phone away to finish the movie

When it finished, I went to get ready for bed. Before Robbie and I went to sleep, I made sure to go tell Nellie goodnight.

"Night Nellie, I know your staying up to watch the episode of Loki that comes out this week but make sure to get sleep as soon as it's over because we have to be at the airport early." Nellie nodded.

"Night mom. I love you." "I love you too."

I close the door and go lay down next to Robbie.

"Night Lizzie." "Night babe."
