summer love

"you have no shot"

( a/n- hi guys ! new story because I was bored with the other one so yeah ! may be a little cliche but I really like it. )

Everything will be in Alexis' POV unless otherwise stated

"Alexis! Can you come down here?" My mother shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
"Coming!" I jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen and saw my mom sitting there with the laptop. "What's up?"
"Okay so, I have a new line coming out and you know that means I have a tour coming up. Since you are turning eighteen and you just graduated, I'm giving you the choice to come with me and enjoy the amazing fashion industry or you can go to your dad's in Cali, your choice," she said while staring at the computer the whole time she spoke.
"Why can't I stay home?" I went to fridge and pulled out a bottle of water and sat at the bar.
"Because you either need to get your future straight with me and fashion or go to your dad's and go goof off before you actual focus on what you want to do with your life."
"But mom, Carter, Michaela, and Jessica and Ashley are staying here, why can't I stay with them?"
Carter is my older, by a year, step-brother, Michaela is my younger, by three years, sister, and Jessica and Ashley are my younger, by two years, twin step-sisters.
"No they are not, Michaela and the twins are coming with me and Carter is going to go to his aunt's house up in the city, so you have two days to decide where you are going for a few months."
"Two days?! Mom I can't decide a full blown vacation in two days," I stood up in anger.
"Well then if you don't pick I'm picking for you, and I know how much you enjoy the fashion industry, so I would pick soon if I were you."
"Okay," I walked up the stairs, into my room and texted my best friend, Chloe.

Alexis: Hey, can you come over? I need your help.
Chloe: yeah, I'll be there in ten. Do you want food?
Alexis: Yeah, what are you going to get?
Chloe: I was thinking Chick-fila. Do you want the usual?
Alexis: Yeah, you know me so well :*
Chloe: Okay. Lemonade or soda?
Alexis: Lemonade. Thanks babe!
Chloe: Okay. I'll be there in 20:*

I sat in my room and got on my laptop to look up California.
"Hey my bitch I'm home!" I heard someone scream as they walked up the stairs, "Where are you? I have food!"
"In my room!" I shouted back.
"Guess who has the crack?"
"Um, you?" I shut my laptop.
"By crack I mean cookies and Chick-Fila, and I have the answers for your problems," she sat in my bean bag and dug into the bag of food.
"I don't think you can answer my problem, but I just wanted to tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"I'm not going to be here this summer, I have two days to chose to go to California with my dad or I have to travel the world with my mom for her new fashion line. I'm really confused, and I really want to go see my dad, but I also want to go with my mom," I said and then I stuffed French fries in my mouth.
"I would say to go to your dad's cause maybe you could take me?"
"I probably could take you, and we could go to the beach and shopping."
"Yes! You have to ask your mom, and then I have to ask my mom, but we can probably do it!" we gave each other a high-five and finished our food.

*two days later*

"Hey mom?"
"Yeah babe, what's up?"
"Um, I've decided that I want to go to dad's place this summer. I know you wanted me to go into the fashion industry and stuff, but I want to be a teenager this summer and go to the beach and go hang out with friends and fall in love. Mom, I'm sorry but I want to go to dad's." I sat down and bit my fingernails, bad habit but I do it when I'm nervous.
"Lex, I'm not mad. I honestly knew you would pick dad's place so I already did my mourning," she grabbed a cup of coffee.
"I also wanted to know if I could bring Chloe to dad's?"
"I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem, but I would call to double check."
"Thank you mom!" I gave her a hug and ran upstairs and called my dad.
After about 20 minutes of arguing/talking with my dad about Chloe coming, he finally agreed.

*next day*

"Alexis, Chloe, you are leaving in a few hours so make sure you are packed for three months," she kissed my forehead and left the room.
"Chlo, Chlo get up. We have to get dressed and finish packing," I shook her shoulders.
"Five more minutes Lex," she rolled into my side of the bed and closed her eyes.
"Fine then, I'll go to California without you and go meet some really cute guy and find a new best frien-"
"Bitch you wouldn't dare," she shot up and tackled me.
"I would if you don't get your ass up," I gave her a kiss on the cheek and got up.
I went into my bathroom and I put on some concealer and eyeliner, put my long blonde hair into a braid, and tossed some shorts and a long sleeved Victoria's Secret shirt on.
"You ready to go sit on a plane for six hours?" Chloe asked when we got into the car.
"Yeah," I tossed my headphones in and laid my head against the window.
"Lex, Lex? We're at the airport," Chloe shook me awake.
"Did I fall asleep?"
"Yeah you did, now come on. Your plane takes off in an hour," my mom answered as we neared the drop-off area. She stopped the car, we got out, and grabbed our carry-ons and our suitcases.
"Okay, well I guess this is goodbye for a few months, I love you baby girl, and I love you too Chlo. I hope you two have a good time, call me every day. I love you, your going to be late. Goodbye," she kissed our heads and left.
"Let's take on LA babe!" Chloe took my hand and we walked to security.
Once we got to security we had about 30 minutes to spare, so we decided to go get some Starbucks. We sat down by the boarding area and drank our Starbucks and posted on social media.
"Flight 567 to Las Angeles International Airport is now boarding," the lady at the desk said into the intercom.
"Let's go!" Chloe shouted and we got disapproving looks from elders.
After a few hours of sleeping and a few hours of talking to Chloe, we finally landed in LAX.
After we got our luggage, we went down to the 'pick-up' part of the airport, we went down the escalator and saw my dad with a very good looking blonde boy.
"Who's that?" I heard Chloe ask me.
"I don't know, but I want to find out."
"Girl, I'm telling you as your best friend," she turned to me.
"You have no shot."
