Without You

Chapter One - Olivia

Olivia's POV

I was walking down the stairs in the new house my parents and I just moved in. My sister was at college at Utah State and my brother was attending Texas State, so it was just us.

We live in Texas, a hot and dry state. There isn't much to do around here, honestly.

As I walked into the kitchen, I smelled breakfast, which lifted my spirits.

"Good morning," I groggily said to my mom and dad, yawning a little.

"Hi sweetie, how was your sleep?" my dad asked, looking up from the newspaper.

"Good, thanks to the comfortable bed y'all got me."

"Well, we needed to get rid of the old one anyways. You weren't sleeping too well, weren't you?" my mom inquired, setting a cup of coffee down for Dad. I nodded, taking a bite if toast.

I heard a brisk knock at the front door, so I excused myself and hurried to answer it.

Standing there was Alex and Avery, my weird friends.

"Hello, hello," Alex chirped.

"Mom, Dad," Avery said, nodding.

They both ran into the kitchen and hugged my parents. Why are they here so early? It's the beginning of summer.

"Guys, y'all are here early," I told them.

"Sure are, and reason is because you are now eighteen! We're taking you shopping!"

"I don't have money, guys," I shrugged.

"Ah, that reminds me. Happy birthday honey," Dad said, handing me a little envelope.

I opened it and pulled out a debit card.

"Woah... you guys got me a card?" I squealed.

"You are eighteen now, an adult. That card is your responsibility," Dad told me, waggling his finger. Avery screamed in excitement.

"Thanks, guys!" I hugged both of them, "But wait. Who's taking us? Don't you two have work?"

Mom and Dad looked at each other.

"Close your eyes."

They took hold of my arm. I was walking when I heard a door open.

"Open your eyes!"

I did, and saw a shiny navy Mustang, the car of my dreams.

"Are you kidding me!?" I cried, happy as can be.

"No, darling. We hope you like it."

"Like it? I love it!" I squealed, walking around, getting a perfect view of everything. Sounds prissy of me, but I was happy.

"Can we go to the mall now?" Avery questioned

"Sure, let me just get ready" I told Avery and Alex.

I ran into my house and up the stairs, when I noticed that I had to take a shower so I quickly striped out of my pj's and hopped into the shower. After that I got into my fave outfit and ran downstairs, I gave a hug to my parents and walked out the door to where my friends where at.

As Avery, Alex and I got in the car we talked about all the stores we were going to go into. Avery was talking about Rue21 and Forever21 and Icing while Alex and me were talking about hitting up the stores Vans and Converse even the store Lids. On our way over we kept singing to lyrics from Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars and other people.

Soon we were at the mall Alex waited while me and Avery got our bags then exited the vehicle. First we hit up the shoe stores and got some new shoes, then we headed to lids and we got some Spurs team hats and went to Forever21. After that we went clothes shopping a little more and soon we found ourselves hungry, so we headed to the food court. After getting our food we sat down and began to eat, Alex kept making stupid jokes and Avery laughed so hard she was in tears.

After a little while I was feeling weirded out, I kept thinking someone was following me and everytime I looked back I saw no one that stuck out, I just dropped it, after a little while. After 4 fun hours at the mall Alex and Avery and me wanted to go home so we exited the mall and drove home. We went to Alex's house first and helped him make outfits out of what he bought. Soon it was time to to get Avery home so I drove to Avery's house and dropped her off because they had to get ready for the party later.
