Chapter 34
I wake up this morning feeling absolutely refreshed and full of my energy again. I didn't realize how much sleep I actually needed until now. I hit play on my phone and instantly a song comes on to get me out of bed. Sound of your Heart by Shawn Hook. It's a great song with a great beat so I hop out of bed and instantly start dancing. I make my bed and put all my pillows on it nicely placed. Like I'm on the home network. I turn the volume up a couple bars and dance my way into the closet.
I search through my clothes thinking of what to wear. I'm interrupted when my music dies down for a couple seconds to let me know that I have a message waiting for me. I walk over to my phone and see I have a text from Preston. 'Hey babe. We are all going out for the day. So get ready, I'll see you soon. Love you.' I answer back saying I love you too and get to work. I walk back over to my closet and pick something out for today. I decided to wear a beige sweater, navy blue puffer vest, dark skinny jeans, light brown leather boots and a scarf that is blue, white, and beige plaid.
I walk into the bathroom singing along to a favorite throwback of mine. Spice up your life. I am hopping and bopping around the bathroom as I start to do my hair and apply my makeup. "Spice up your life!" I start to yell into my hair brush. I decide to curl my hair into loose curls. As I run my fingers through my hair and fluff it up a bit I hear another voice other than the song. I furrow my eyebrows at myself in the mirror and walk out of my bathroom to find Preston dancing and singing along to the song.
I start to laugh and he hears me. He stops dead in his tracks and looks at me with some embarrassment. "Um. You played this song a lot when it was popular." "And you seemed to like it also judging by what I just saw." "No one should know about this." "I'm not too sure about that." As I run to my phone, Preston catches on.
He grabs me by the waist and throws me onto my bed. I scream and laugh as he starts to tickle me. "STOP!!" "Not until you promise not to tell anyone!" "I..." "Say it!" "Promise!" The feeling fades away and I realized he stopped. I open my eyes to see him hovering over me. "What?" "Nothing." "Seriously what?" "I have to tell you I was unbelievably worried about you when we were stuck there. Especially when we were in different areas. I didn't know what was happening to you or anything and it was killing me." I take his hand and kiss it. "Well I'm okay and so are you. I worried about you too. All the time. Like I said everyone is okay now and Austin and his goons are gone away like they should be." He pulls me close and kisses me "Kelly I love you way to much than I should." I smile at him "I love you too, more than ever."
I sit up and walk back into the bathroom to fix my hair from getting messed up everywhere. I finish up with some hairspray and grab my scarf, phone and purse. "Okay let's get going." We both bid good bye to mom and dad and head out to the car. I get into the passenger seat until I realize I have no idea where we are even going yet. "Um where are we going?" "Well since everything happened Derek can't really walk for long periods so we decided to go out for sushi and then a movie." "That sounds like a fun but chilled out night." "Exactly. It's what we all need."
I turn the radio on and hum to Find You by Zedd. I notice Preston tapping his wheel to the beat of the song and I inhale. Today doesn't feel like any other day. Today I feel thankful, lucky and free. I smile to the world passing by. Preston takes my left hand and holds it all the way there. We arrive and I realize we are the first ones there. We decided to stay in the parking lot until everyone showed up.
First was Cassie and Derek, as soon as I saw Cassie I jumped out of the car and ran to her. Even though I just saw her yesterday we act like we haven't seen each other in years. I wrap her in a hug and she wraps her arms around me as well. She pulls away and looks at me. "Girl for someone who was kidnapped you look hella good!" I look at Cassie and what she's wearing. She is wearing all black from head to toe. A black T-shirt, black jeans, and black boots. She decided to where a tan wool coat to pop out ore off all the black. Her hair is pin straight and her makeup is the usual. Not that it's bad.
As soon as I finish hugging Cassie Emma pulls up with Brandon. They get out and Emma being Emma squeals. Making sure everyone and anyone hears. I squint at her squeal like usual. I smile at her and take her in for a hug. I notice she is cover the marks from all of that. I don't blame her. At least winter is coming so she won't have to worry about hot weather. She was wearing a grey sweater that read Paris in black, black leggings, black combat boots with grey fuzzy socks peaking from the top of them, a black wool coat and a black beanie. She let her white blonde hair fall down in messy waves. She looked so comfy and warm. I was a little jealous.
We stand there talking for a little bit as we end up finding the topic of how Emma is feeling with everything we hear a car horn. Scaring the living shit out of us we turn to yell at the honker. We stop when we realize its Lily and Elliot. As usual the last ones to show up. They are always late no matter what. They get out of the car and walk over to the rest of us. "Like usual the late bastard." "Shut up Preston. Not all of us wake at the crack of dawn like a rooster." Preston laughs at Elliot as Elliot punches hi shoulder. Lily ignores the boys and walks right over to us. "Okay one question, who else slept like they were dead?" We all shoot our hands up.
Lily was wearing a tan tunic with a cowl neck line, black leggings, knee high boots, and a black wool coat with a fuzzy hood. Her hair was curled and brought back into a half ponytail being held with a big black bow. We all head inside as we wait to be seated I look around the restaurant. Not as busy which means we will get out things quicker than usual today. A hostess comes up to us and leads us to our table. We all order our drinks and the waitress is off. We are overly joyed that this place is all you can eat. We had to have check off at least ten different kinds of sushi.
Our first pieces of sushi arrive and we start to dig in. By the time we're finished we are all moaning and groaning. Filled to the high heavens on sushi. We head to the movie theatre and we all decide to see Vacation. I have to say I couldn't stop laughing. My stomach was hurting from how much I laughed during the movie.
When we left it was already 8:30. We all said goodbye as we dreaded going to school tomorrow. I just don't want to be hassled by every person I see. It will probably happen but I just don't want it to. I give the girls a last hug and head to the car where Preston is already waiting. I hop into the front seat and we head back home.
We arrive home as Preston pulls into the driveway. Sadness comes over me when I realize he won't be coming in with me. He let me know on the way home that his dad wants him at their place for a bit. I feel my hand be kissed and turn to look at him. "Don't be sad babe." "I don't want to go in without you." "Well I have to go home." I roll my eyes and get out of the car slamming the door behind me. Of course he would be like that, of course I know he has to go home! "Kelly wait!" I don't stop. I grab my keys and put them into the handle but I'm turned around forcefully. "Don't be like that." "Don't be like what? I'm perfectly fine." "No you're not stop lying." I huff and cross my arms. He takes me in his arms "you're cute when you're mad." He then takes me back the back of my neck and slams a kiss onto my lips. He pulls away first. "Good night Kel. Love you." "Love you too." I watch him walk back to his car just to pull it into the drive way next door. I stand there and watch him get out and walk into his house, as I do the same.
