And Then She Grew Up

Chapter 20

**** TIME SKIP **** (I honestly have no idea how long of a time skip just go along. Emma is finishing up her last day of high school and is heading to Australia to be with Angie and Emily, Angie and Emily have almost adjusted to their new lifes.)

Emma's POV:

5 more minutes.

Where the heck is Ben.

4 more minutes.

He isn't answering any of my texts.

3 more minutes.

Or my calls.

2 more minutes

We're supposed to meet up after school.

1 more minute.

He couldn't have just dissappeared completely off the earth.

*RRIIIIIIIINNNNNGGG*

The bell rings signaling the end of the year, meaning it was finally summer. I can finally get a tan, enjoy the beach and the sun. I dont have to worry about any homework or tests. Best of all, I finally get to travel to Australia with Angie and Emily.

"HEY-O THIS IS BEN IM NOT AT MY PHONE RIGHT NOW! HAVE A GREAT DAY AND L-"

That little fricker.

Where could he possibly be? How could he possibly not tell me?

Emily's POV:

I dropped my phone in the toilet..

Again.

"Emy! We arent getting you a new one!" My mom informs me for the 20th time in the past 15 minutes I was on the phone with her.

"I know Mom!" I defend. I switch the house phone to my other shoulder as I finish up folding mine and Angies laundry. How she fit this many clothes into the dryer, I have no idea. One day she's gonna break the old thing.

"EM!" I hear my name called from a very familiar voice and sigh, "Mom, I'm gonna have to call you back later. Someone just called me. I'll talk to you later, love you, BYE!"

I dont even give her a chance to protest. I quickly hang up the phone and put it back on its charger then fold the last of the laundry, which so happens to be my new t-shirt. Oh I'm so wearing that the next time I go out.

"EMMMMMM!" I hear the voice getting more and more anxious.

"Ryder! Chill out! I'm coming!" I shout back. I pick up the ginormous pile of laundry and quickly start to run back to my room to put it on my bed.

After I turn the corner into the hallway of my bedroom, I collide with a body, causing me to throw all of my clothes on the floor and fall straight on my tailbone.

"Nice one, mate." Ryder chuckles as he looks at the mess I had created a couple seconds ago. I look down at the mixture of now unfolded clothes on the floor. I groan.

"Angie! Come hither!" I yell. She doesnt answer.

"Angie! Angie! Angi-"

"IM COMING GOD!" she finally answers.

"What was so important that you needed to interrupt my- Oh. Uhmm." she mumbles as she realizes the mess on the floor.

"Would you like to help me pick this up consdering more than half of it is yours?" I ask. She stares at the mess, obviously considering wether or not to pick it up or not. She shrugs.

She walks over to the colorful mess, scoops some of it into her arms, not even bothering to check if it was hers or not, stops and smiles at us, then skips back to whatever seh was doing.
