•CHAPTER 1•

august 15th

today is exactly one week till my 18th birthday. i went downstairs to find my mom sitting at the kitchen table.

y/m/n: good morning hunny

y/n: good morning, you took off work today?

y/m/n: yes i did, do you have plans today?

y/n: no i don't, why?

y/m/n: perfect i have some stuff planned for us today, eat something and get ready. be ready by 11 please.

y/n: ok

it was only 9:30 so i has some time. i got a bowl out of the cabinet and grabbed the cheerios from the pantry. i ate at the kitchen table scrolling on my for you page. i came across the usual thirst traps and fuck boys. i just scrolled past those, except one boy caught my eye. bryce. bryce parker. i clicked on his page and watched some of his videos. he seems super sweet and he's cute. i put my phone away and put my bowl in the dishwasher. i went upstairs and picked out an outfit. it was a basic light blue crop top and black leggings with a pair of air forces. i lightly curled my hair and put on some simple makeup. i checked the time. 10:56. perfect i ran downstairs and sat on the couch waiting for my mom. not long after mom came downstairs.

y/m/n: ready?

y/n: yes, what are we doing exactly?

y/m/n: it's a surprise.

we walked out to the car and i got in the passenger seat. i pulled out my phone and searched "bryce parker" on instagram. he was the first one to pop up. i clicked on his account and began scrolling through his posts. he was beautiful, his fluffy hair fell perfectly, his brown eyes and his cute smile. i clicked on his story while putting the phone up to my ear to listen. "hey guys i just wanted to come on and announce i will be at playlist next week. i cant wait to meet y'all". i've always wanted to go to playlist, i ask every year but my parents never let me go. my dad would always say "no, you are to young and you can watch those people on your phone anyways" and my mom would side with him. i gave up hope for my 18th birthday and wondered what i would end up getting this year. by this time my mom and i arrived at our destination. target. i love target with all my heart, if i could buy the whole store i would.

y/m/n: before we go in i have something to tell you.

y/n: ok

y/m/n: so this is the day we will celebrate your birthday, your father will join us later.

y/n: ok..but why aren't we celebrating next week?

y/m/n: you'll find out later

that left me to wonder what id be finding out later. we walked into the store and i picked out a few things. i picked out some tops and snacks along with a new book. i grabbed a new pair of sunglasses too. when we got up to the register my mom told me she would pay for my things since we're celebrating today.

later

it's currently 5:15 my mom and i did lots today. we went to lunch, got our nails done, went to starbucks, target and ulta. we were now on our way back home to get my dad. we pulled in the drive way and walked into the house. we waited on the couch. finally after what felt like forever my dad came downstairs. the three of us get into the car and leave. it's 5:30 and our dinner reservations are at 5:45. when we arrive we get seated immediately, we ate and we're off for ice cream. my day was going so good. we at our favorite ice cream place enjoying our ice cream and watching the sun set. my parents had payed for everything today and it was an amazing day overall.

y/d/n: we have one last thing for you

y/n: oh ok, i thought we were done. before you give it to me i just wanted to say thank you, i had a great day.

y/m/n: of course hunny, ok i can't wait any longer.

my mom reached into her back pocket and pulled out an envelope. she handed it to me with a big smile. i opened the envelope and saw two plane tickets and playlist passes. i stared at the passes in shock. i was speechless. after the realization hit i couldn't stop thanking them.

y/d/n: you have a ticket and you can choose anyone you want to go with you.
