I walked into the kitchen where I saw my mom cooking dinner. She was in a good mood so I thought, "Why not ask her now?" It seemed like a good time. I got a cup of her favorite iced coffee and handed it to her.

"Oh, thanks Gembug." She smiled as she she drank from her cup.

"Yeah anything for you mommy." I tried to say it in the sweetest voice possible.

"Well yeah, I'm your mom so you kind of have to. Anyway, What's up?" She looks over her shoulder to reassure me that's she's listening to me.

"Well first of all I think I'm getting too old for you to be calling me Gembug." It was my childhood nickname since I accidentally ate an ant when I was a baby, "and I was just wondering if I could go on a trip for the summer."

"You're never too old for me to call you Gembug, Gembug" she mocks, "Where exactly would this trip be and with who?" She turned around, to look at me, leaning on the stove.

"Look mom, I just got done with my junior year and I really just wanna have some fun this summer and not just sit around the house and watch Netflix all day like last Summer." That was literally all I did.

"I would like that for you too, but depends where you wanna go."

"How about... Los Angeles?" I nervously asked.

"Los... Angeles? You mean Los Angeles in California?!"

"Mom please I could just-" She cut me off.

"Absolutely not. You know how many men are out there waiting to take advantage of young girls like you?!"

"Mom please it would just be for the summer." I pleaded.

"Gemma your not..." She looked at the floor and sighed, "Fine. I'll think about it."

"Thanks mom! You're the best!" I gave her a hug and left.

I went up stairs to my room and grabbed some pictures of me and my dad when I was little. I know these pictures will soften him up and think, "My little girl is all grown up, oh I remember taking all these pictures, I wish she was still a little girl but she's not and it's time for her to live the life she wants to live." That's how I always get to him.

I knocked on his room door and he told me to come in, he was watching a baseball game.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah Gembug?" He asked staring at the TV screen

"Can I ask you something?"

"Oh god, are you pregnant?" He whispered making me laugh.

"No what? Dad." He sighed of relief causing me to laugh more.

"Good, Now whats on your mind?"

"Can I go on a trip with Emma and Isabella?"

"Oh you mean like a camping trip?"

"No a little more exciting trip."

"Oh. You mean like Los Angeles or something?" His sarcastic tone makes me laugh because his voice gets five times deeper than it already is.

"Actually yes." I nervously smiled.

"Oh... Uh for how long?"

"Just the summer."

"Okay then."

"Wait seriously?" I wasn't expecting it to be that easy.

"Yes. Well I don't want you stuck in you room watching Little Pretty Lies again."

"You mean Pretty Little Liars?" It doesn't shock me how out of touch he is with technology.

"Yeah whatever you know what I mean."

"Yeah, but seriously I can go?"

"I don't see why not."

"Thank you so much daddy, I love you!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him kiss on the cheek.

That went easier then expected. I didn't even have to use the pictures.

My dad will probably convince my mom, well hopefully. The last person I have to ask is my boyfriend, Jared.

"Hey babe." That's how the conversation would start.

He would reply ,"Hey whats up?"

Then I'd answer, "I wanted to ask you something..."

He'd ask, "What?"

I'd have to wait a few minutes and then he'd ask, "Is everything okay?"

Then I would have to respond, "What do you think about me going to LA for the summer with Emma and Isabella?"

His answer would be, "For how long? I mean the idea of you being around with good looking muscular beach boys scares me."

He often doubts my commitment to our relationship. I don't know why since he's the one who every girl drools over. What girl can't resist hazel eyes and abs? I know I can't.

Then I'd say, "Babe... You know I love you and I wouldn't ever fall for anyone else but you, I'm head over heals in love with you."

And I can picture him smiling, "I know, I love you too and I don't ever want to loose you its just..."

I'd cut him off, "You don't have to worry, I love you and you only."

Then I'd add that I would be with Emma and Isabella and they'd look after me. I'm pretty sure he'll agree with me. My phone was ringing looks like he was already one step ahead of me. I picked it up.

"Hey what's up babe?" I answered.

"We need to talk now. Come to my house."

"Why? Whats-" He hung up before I could answer.

I wonder whats wrong. I grabbed my phone and walked to his house.
