it was the evening before we leave for magcon, and i feel bad for the way i left things with the girls. i grab my phone from the coffee table, clicking the home button. i tap in my password and go onto the whatsapp app. i send a message into the group chat.

02:17pm
new message to: the girls💛✨
anyone want to come to mine for a movie marathon??

i instantly got a reply from everyone saying they would love to. we all agreed on a time, and i walk into the kitchen, picking up my keys and my purse. i call up to aaron to let him know i was going out, and i heard a faint okay from upstairs.

i open the front door, closing it behind me, not bothering to lock it because aaron was home. i walk to my car, unlocking it, jumping in the drivers seat. i turn on the radio to a quiet whisper and start the car. i vaguely look out the window as the car drove out of the drive way and onto the road. i slowly drive along the road, until i pull up outside walmart.

i park near the front, and step out of the car, locking it behind me. i grab a trolley, walking in through the sliding doors.

i walk to the frozen foods first, opening up the cold door, pulling out two large pizzas. i then walk a little further down the aisle, taking a tub of ben & jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. i place both items in the trolley, walking down the next aisle.

i end up down the chocolate aisle, and i walk along picking up a few items - a pack of kit kats, a pack of snickers, a packet of crispy m&m's, a pack of starburst, a pack of smarties, and a pack of hershey's milk chocolate.

i walk down the candy and crisp aisle, grabbing a bag of chili heat wave doritos, a tube of original pringles, a bag of sour cream ruffles, and a pack of dessert skittles.

i walk down many more aisle's placing more food in the trolley - a bag of cookies, a packet of cookie and creme pop-tarts, a massive bag of popcorn, a bottle of coke, a packet of oreo's, a box of donuts, a tub of nutella, and a pack of 4 starbucks.

i push the trolley to the till's, placing all the items on the moving cashier. the woman at the till, raised an eyebrow as all the food draws nearer to her, but smiles at me politely. she scans everything, before i hand her two twenty dollar notes. she opens up her till, putting the notes in, handing me my change.

i help her bag everything, before picking them all up, placing them into the trolley. i smile at the woman, pushing the trolley back to my car.

i unlock the car, placing all the bags in the boot. i push the trolley back, then jog back to my car, getting into the drivers seat. i start the car again, pulling out of my parking space, exiting the car park.

i drive along the motorway, humming along slightly to the music that was playing in the background. i soon arrive outside my house, pulling into the driveway, stopping the car, taking the keys and jumping out.

i walk to the boot of the car, opening it, grabbing all the shopping bags, closing the boot with my elbow. i manage to lock my car, walking to the front door, pressing the doorbell. a few moments later, a shirtless aaron opens the door.

he grabs 2 bags from me, as i walk in past him, towards the kitchen. i place the bags on the kitchen worktop as he does the same.

"fucking hell, luna, who's coming over?" he asks, his eyes widening as i begin to take the food out from the bags.

"chloe, esme." i say, before smirking. "and marnie."

his facial expression completely changed, and he smiled alittle, before beginning to walk away.

"where you going?" i shout after him.

"i'm going for a shower!" he shouts back.

"so you can look good for marnie?" i say, with a grin.

"exactly." he says back, with a chuckle.

i giggle a little at him. he's had a crush on her for so long, and so does she, she just doesn't like to admit it.

i finish unpacking all the food, placing most of it in the fridge, then the remainder in the cupboards.

i walk upstairs to my room, walking to my chest of drawers, grabbing a pair of adidas sweatpants, and a white tank top.

i pull my clothes off, throwing them in the wash basket, slipping the sweatpants and tank top on. i walk to my desk, looking through my dvd rack, selecting the this is us one direction movie, we're the millers, 22 jump street and finding nemo.

i take my phone and my laptop along with the movies and walk downstairs. i place my laptop, and the movies on the living room coffee table, before walking to the kitchen with my phone.

i open the fridge pulling out the large pizzas. i read the instructions, turning the oven on, slipping them in. i pull all the foods out from the cupboards and the fridge, then take some plastic bowls. i empty all the foods into seperate bowls, when my phone vibrates. i grab it, unlocking it, tapping the password in, viewing the text message.

new message from: marnie💟
we're outside g

i put my phone down, running to the front door, pulling it open. they were all stood there a smile plastered on all their faces, i drag them in closing the door.

"you all okay?" i ask them, as we walk to the kitchen. they all nod, then look at all the food laid out.

"shit luna." esme says, as the others laugh.

"luna, which top goes better?" aaron says, walking in holding up two tops. he stopped, seeing marnie, then awkwardly looks down to the ground.

"i like that one." marnie speaks into the silence, pointing to one of the tops.

he looked back up, smiling at marnie, his cheeks turning red a little, he pulled the top over his bare chest, before walking back upstairs. marnie watched him as he walked away, before turning to look at us.

"what?" she said, as we all playfully shake our heads at her.

the alarm starts creating a silent beep, signalling the pizzas are ready. i grab the oven mits, slipping them on my hands, opening the oven. i pull the pizzas out, sliding them onto a plate.

the girls take the plastic bowls with the food in, into the living room whilst i cut the pizza. i take the plate into the living room setting it onto the coffee table.

i take we're the millers out from it's case, sliding it into the dvd player. i walk back to the three seated couch, placing myself between esme and chloe.

marnie sat on the two seated couch, opposite to ours. as the title was playing aaron came into the room and sat down next to marnie. She turned to look us, a smile playing at her lips. i grab a slice of pizza, leaning back into the sofa, watching the screen as the movie begins.
