The Possibilities of Summer ~ A Liam Fan Fiction

Chapter 3 - The New Car

*4 days after the meeting

I'm going to save you the details from getting my license because nothing exciting really happened. The important thing is that I got it.

My mom took me to the BMW car dealership as soon as I got my license. We walk in and she does all the paperwork to get that white X3. While she's doing that Evan and I go looking around at the display cars. His car is about the same design as mine except it's the Mercedes version.

"We really are spoiled rotten, you know." He says to me as he looks at all of these expensive cars.

"Haha yeah, I noticed." Most parents don't typically buy their kids a BMW or a Mercedes for BOTH of their kids as their first car. They know we're super responsible though, and I'm thankful for that.

About an hour later my mom comes back to find us with the key to my new car. She hands them to me and I give her a huge hug.

"Thanks mom, I love you so much!" I say squeezing her as hard as I can.

"I love you too honey."

We went to go find the car and when we did, I felt there was something very important I had to do before I was ready to drive it. I pull out my white iPhone and take a picture of it to send to my dad with a thank you note. He's on a business trip right now so he couldn't come.

"What are you doing?" my mom asks. Evan also looks a little puzzled.

"Saying thank you to dad." They both just smile.

We're about to leave to go home and my mom says, "Evan, are you riding with me or Anna?" I had forgot that we all came in the same car.

"Hmmm I think I'll ride with Anna. Maybe I can talk her into stopping for food." He says smiling.

"Alright, I'll see you two when you get home then." she says as she turns away to walk back to her own car.

We hop into the car and I can't help but awe at it. I sit down and program my settings and turn the radio on. One Direction comes on and I jump a little and squeal.

"We're getting food." Is all Evan had to say about it. I don't object though because it was kind of 3:00 and we hadn't eaten lunch since we were at the DMV.

I rev up the engine and start towards the closest restaurant. The first place we pass is a McDonald's so I pull into the parking lot.

"Okay now get whatever you want but you can't eat it in here. Wait until we get home. I don't need crumbs in my brand new car just yet." I tell him, knowing he would want to pig out right away.

"Ugh. Fine." I can tell he isn't very happy.

"Hi, welcome to McDonald's. How may I help you?" I hear as soon as I roll down the window.

Evan start yelling out his order. "Yeah I'll have a ten piece chicken mcnugget, large fry, a Big Mac, a to-go wrap, 5 chocolate chip cookies, a side salad, and a mocha frappe."

My jaw drops, "You pig!" I shoot at him and continue to order my food.

"Double all of that." I can't help it. I am pretty hungry.

Evan just stares at me, as if he can't tell whether he is shocked, proud, or angry for me calling him a pig. He just shakes his head, grinning.

I roll up to the window to pay and get our food. I hand the lady my credit card and she hands me three large bags of food. Geez. We really are pigs. Evan just looks tortured. I made him hold all of the food but I still wouldn't let him eat any of it.

"This is abuse." He tells me, giving me a pouty face.

"Sucks for you." I say, then start heading home.

*15 minutes later

When we get home Cristina, Ari, and Emma are waiting on the doorstep and jump up and run towards us as we pull up. Brittany and Ava probably had to do some last minute packing, since we're leaving tomorrow.

"Oh my gosh!! It's beautiful!" Emma tells me.

"PICTURE TIME!! We gotta get at least one pic for Instagram with all of us!" Ari says pulling out her black iPhone.

"Screw that, I need to eat!" Evan blurts out, running inside.

"Hate to say it, but I agree with Evan. I'm starving!" I say heading towards the front door.

"Of course," Cristina says, a little sarcastic. She makes food a priority too though, so she knows how important food is to me.

We all go inside and up to my room. Of course I bring my food. But first I pull out a bunch of my suitcases because I need help packing. Ari is already going through my stuff, tossing things on my bed. She can do whatever she wants until I finish eating.

I start digging into my food and Emma is just glaring at it.

"I am concerned for your health, little girl," kinda smiling as she says it. I just laugh and offer her some of it. She takes some of my fries. Cristina sees this and her eyes light up.

"Oh good! You're sharing!" she says as she takes half of my nuggets and fries.

"Um, I wasn't sharing THAT much!" not that I really care, I'm just giving her a hard time.

"Too late! By the way, I call shotgun in your car tomorrow!" she says completely off topic. Ari all of a sudden stops tearing my room apart with stuff she thinks I should bring and glares at Cristina.

"You know I always want shotgun!!" she says looking slightly more annoyed than angry now.

"You can have shotgun in Evan's Car." Cristina says. Ari shrugs. I know she wanted to be with us, but she loves riding shotgun.

By now, I've finished eating and I walk over to my bed. I see a lot of stuff that I will actually end up bringing, like my flat iron and my laptop, but then I see a bunch of other stuff I know I won't need.

"Ari, why in the world will I need a party dress, heels, or a trench coat?" I say, now questioning what all she's bringing.

"I'm throwing a dance party, whether you like it or not, and we're inviting the neighbors." she says more as a fact rather than a suggestion.

"The trench coat?"

"Maybe it'll be cold."

"It's summer."

"Awks."

I decide to pack the dress for whatever reason and everyone helps me try and fit everything into my suitcases. I end up having four suitcases to bring. I don't pack light, especially for a longer trip like this.

"Did the rest of you already pack?" They nod their heads. I'm impressed, actually. I thought they would have waited until the last second.

"It's getting late. You all should probably go home and get some sleep. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow!" I didn't really want them to leave, but I wanted more to get started early tomorrow.

Emma's the first to reply, "Fine, what time should we be here tomorrow?"

"Eightish? I want to get an early start."

"Got it." With that said, they all left and I went to get some dinner.
