Finding Ava

Chapter 5

9:00AM. My alarm clock goes off. I grabbed my phone and hit the snooze button. My father was already up, packing his suitcase.

I laid in bed for a few minutes, then shuffled out of bed making my way to the bathroom. I spent about thirty minutes in the bathroom taking care of my business then I got ready for the day. Once I was freshened up, and already dressed I went back into the room to put on my shoes. After I put on my shoes, I packed up my suitcase too.

"Do you want to eat breakfast here? Or go out somewhere?" Aaron asks.

"I want chick-fil-a. I've been craving their chicken biscuits for a long time." I say.

"Ok. Let's go." He grabbed both of our suitcases and we exited the room.

Aaron checked us out of our room then we made our way to the car. I got inside while Aaron put our suitcases in the trunk.

Today, I decided to sit in the front seat. I didn't want Aaron to feel like I'm isolating him, although I was kind of rude to him the past two days. He basically put his life on hold just to take care of me when he could've just left me for dead.

"Are you mad at me?" Aaron asks entering the car.

"I'm not mad at you. I just don't understand why you hid this from me. If you would've told me when I was like twelve I would've been perfectly fine." I admitted.

"I know. I didn't want you to see me as a stranger or something. You went through enough and breaking that to you was hard for me during the time." I completely understand why he hid this from me.

Fifteen minutes later we arrived to chick-fil-a and we walked inside. Smelling the food made my mouth water. I haven't had a chicken biscuit from here in forever. It didn't take long for us to order and I was surprised. About ten minutes later our food was delivered and we found somewhere to sit down. As soon as we sat down I eagerly grabbed both of my biscuits out of the bag.

"Oh this is so good!" I praise. Aaron laughed at me as I devoured my food.

This is what happens when I have cravings for too long. It tasted better than the first time I tried it. Five minutes later I finished my first biscuit and moved on to my second one. Aaron was surprised at how fast I ate. Usually it takes me about fifteen minutes to eat but if I'm eating one of my favorite foods I'll eat it within 5-10 minutes.

I beat Aaron eating and I waited for him to finish so we could hit the road. I was slowly drifting off into a food coma and laid my head down on the table. Aaron finally finished his food after a few minutes. We left with a satisfied full stomach. Once we entered the car I grabbed my blanket from the backseat and went straight to sleep.

Three hours later we're finally in California and I'm admiring the beautiful scenery. I rolled down the window to let the cool breeze run through my hair. It felt so good.

As we drove by all of the familiar places I smiled to myself. I began to reminisce about my first time coming out here. It was one of the best days of my life.

"Can we please stop by In-n-Out?" I asked pouting.

"Please?" I poke my lip out more. Aaron looked at me and chuckled, shaking his head.

"We can go." he says finally. I squeal like a little baby and clap my hands together. "But you know we already have it in Texas?"

"I know but its my favorite burger joint and I need it." I pouted. In my opinion I like In-n-Out better here than in Texas.

He shrugs and we pulled up to In-n-Out. My stomach tingled in excitement and I couldn't wait to get my hands on that double-double burger, with animal style fries and a drink. I wish I was a little kid still so I could have the stickers but I'm too old for them now.

It was packed as hell as we made it through the entrance. I swear, majority of the In-n-Out's I've been to are always packed too. People really love this food. The line was long but it moved along. Once our turn came Aaron ordered quickly and we stood to the side waiting for our food. I was so hungry and ready to eat. My stomach kept growling.

We waited for about 10-15 minutes for our food to be claimed. I almost let out a squeal when our food was called but I caught myself. Aaron grabbed our bag and we headed out the door. There was no way we were going to eat in there. Most of the seats were filled. So we just ate in the car.

I couldn't even finish my burger because I was so full. I ate all of my fries and dranked half of my fruit punch.

After I wrapped my burger up and placed it back inside of the bag I put my phone on the portable charger. I texted Julian and Yamile for a few minutes just to see what they are doing. I miss them so much. We all wanted to go on vacation together but our weren't to fond with us going out of state by ourselves. Yamile is in Puerto Rico visiting her family. Next time I'm going with her because I've always dreamed of going there.

I stopped texting and prepared to take my last nap for the day. I wrapped myself in my blanket like a caterpillar getting ready to turn into a butterfly. Aaron finished all of his food and threw out in the trash. He came back and started the car. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
