Welcome To Hollywood

Never Knew How Exciting Packing Could Be

"Hello?" I ask.

"Yooo." Justin says.

"Hey." I say smiling.

"So I hear you wanna sign with Island." Justin says.

"How?"

"Peyton."

"Mmm." Makes sense.

"So... are you serious or..."

"No I'm dead ass. I really wanna do it."

"Where are you?" He asks me.

"Uhh. Walking home. School just got out."

"Alright, I'm coming. I was parked at your house." I smile.

"Ok."

"Are you on the left or right sidewalk?"

"Left.... My left." I tell him.

Then I see his car coming down the street. I wave him down and when he stops I hop in.

"Hey." He starts driving, but the opposite way.

"Um, my house is that way." I point behind us.

"I know, I figured we could go on a drive."

"Ok?" I ask.

"So why do you wanna sign with Island so bad now?"

"What do you mean?" I ask Justin.

"Four days ago you were saying how you didn't wanna sign to Island because of your scholarship and now you're on board? What's up Stella?" 

"Nothing's up. I really wanna do it. I was thinking about it to myself and-"

Justin turns to me and gives me this look that says he isn't buying it. I sigh.

"Money's tight." I tell Justin.

"How tight?" He asks.

"We're moving to Calabasas, and my dad moved back to Florida until money gets more managable."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Justin asks.

"They just told us Friday."

"Oh... and he already moved?"

"Yeah, Sunday... Are you gonna take me home now, cause I gotta pack."

"Yeah." He makes a u-turn and drives into the driveway. Justin parks the car.

"What are you doing?" I ask as he opens the door and gets out.

"Thought you guys might need help packing." I smile and unlock the door.

"Momma! Someone wanted to help us pack!"

She comes out of the kitchen and smiles when she sees Justin.

"Hey!" My mom says and they hug.

"Peyton and Brandon are packing their rooms up." My mom says.

"Then I guess I will too." Justin and I head upstairs.

First I changed into my beige soft shorts and black off the shoulder sweater. Then we started packing. Most off my stuff was already in boxes so Justin helped me pack my clothes while I throw them out of my closet. Next was my underwears and bras which I packed myself while Justin labeled the boxes for me. 

"Pack this?" I turn to Justin who's holding the gir Jaden won me at the fair.

"No!" I jump on the bed and cradle it to me sitting cross legged. He smiles.
