The Lost One (Cimorelli)

Chapter 9

Adrian's POV

I wake up tangled in somebody's arms. The last thing I remember is Christina laying with me and singing. I look up and Christina is out like a light. How early is it? I carefully unwrap myself and climb down the bunk. I look at the clock on the microwave and see it that is only 7:00 in the morning. Great. Everybody else usually wakes up around 10 so what am I supposed to do on this cramped bus for 3 hours without waking anybody up. I sit on the couch and think about what happened yesterday. Then I suddenly remember the meet and greet. Tears instantly spring to my eyes and then next thing I know I am full out balling silently. I grab one of the pillows and lay down and sob into it so nobody can hear me. Then I feel somebody sit next to me and pull me into their lap. I don't even know who it is but at the moment I don't really care and just cry into their chest. Then I realize how much of a baby I have been these past few days. I immediately get up from their lap and sprint out the bus doors. I run to a park a couple blocks away and sit on the bench. I found out the person I ran from was Lauren and I could here her shouting for me while I ran and I could tell she was crying. I hate that I made her cry because she was just trying to comfort me but I need time alone to think. All I have been doing since this trip started was cry. I am 12 years old for crying out loud. I need to toughen up. I start walking back to the bus and once I enter the parking lot and enter the bus no one is there.

"HELLO?!" I yell out but no answer. I shrug it off and climb back into my bunk and fall asleep. Not even 5 minutes later I feel people tackle me and I jolt awake.

"WHAT THE HECK?" I scream.

"We were so worried!"

"Where were you?!"

"Don't ever do that again!"

"I thought I lost you forever!" These are multiple things being said at once.

"Woah guys. Slow down. I was at the park a couple blocks away. I needed time alone to clear my head and think. I am sorry that I worried you guys and left so suddenly. Lauren I am so sorry about leaving you when all you were doing was comforting me. I hate to see you cry and kills me to be the one who made you cry." I answer them.

"Adrian its okay. You didn't make me cry. It was the thought of losing you that made me cry. Why were you crying anyways?" I don't want to tell Lauren why I was crying because 1. it was stupid and 2. I shouldn't of been crying in the first place.

"It was nothing really." She look at me weird but nods. Then Christina clears her throat. We all look at her.

"I think that maybe we should just turn around and head home. This trip was supposed to be a family trip and all we did was perform and sleep. We will plan a better trip out some other time. Also with all the chaos this morning I think we all forgot that its me and Laurens birthday!" she says. I can't believe I forgot it was their birthday! Everybody gasps including me and we all start apologizing to them. Especially me. I cannot I believe I pulled a stunt like this on their birthday. Why am I so stupid? Lauren and Christina forgive us and we all agree that we should just go home. We are leaving tomorrow and we are just going to celebrate today. After we all get ready Lauren and Christina leave to go explore Denver and find a place to spend their birthday at. After they leave the rest of us start discussing what we need to do. Katherine and Amy said they already got them their present so they will go find a cake. Then Lisa, Dani, and I go to the Park Meadows mall nearby. (A/N I love this mall so much!) Once we get there we split up. Lisa goes to Forever 21, Dani goes to Hollister, and I go to PacSun. I finish at PacSun only finding a pair of cute high waisted shorts and 2 flannels for Lauren. I decide to go to Aeropostale for Christina and find 3 cute chunky sweaters and a nice necklace. I then walk to a cute old timey candy shop and once I walk in I find Dani. I walk over to her and we pick out a whole bunch of candy for ourselves later tonight. Which by the way isn't going to be good. Then Lisa texts us telling us to meet her at the car. Once we get to the car we show each other what we got them. Lisa got 3 shirts and 2 skirts for Lauren and 2 pairs of shoes and 3 dresses for Christina and then of course got herself stuff. Dani got Lauren 2 pairs of jeans and a cute coat and got Christina 2 jackets and a pair of shorts. We decided not to tell Lisa about the candy. Christina and Lauren decided to go to waterworld. Of course. We walk back to the bus and meet everyone. We all change into our bathing suits. Once everyone is changed we call a cab. Before we get there we give them the presents. They loved them of course. We get to water world and split up. Finally its closing time so we call a cab and head back to the bus and sleep.

A/N

Longer chapter to make up for not updating! What did you think of the chapter? Also The Park Meadows mall is amazing and they really do have a candy shop that is themed like old times. They even dress up. And it has tons of candy!
