The Trip

Chapter 2

LA
Erin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First day in LA with my best friends, our life just went to a new level.

We decided to go to college too, we all picked the same college since we had the same interests.

We wanted to do law but different hobbies, I want to be a writer. Isabella wants to be a professional photographer, Jacob wanted to do just law.

I graduated school when I was 17 because I skipped a grade, I didn't go to kindergarten. I started first grade when I was 5 years old and I could read and write and also (of course) speak very well when I was 5 years old.

Chris and I talked more since we were kids, I told him that I moved to LA. He said that he was going to Florida and I was going to Florida too to see my mom for my birthday.

I just arrived here in Florida and I recognize Chris. He's tall and blond and hazel eyes. He hugged me really tight and it was a really nice hug.

"What are you doing here?" He asks me staring at me without stopping.

"I'm going to see my mom, it's my birthday and I'm celebrating it here and my sister is also moving here" I point to my sister,  "and yea, what about you?" I say with a small smile on my face.

"Happy birthday!," he hugged me again, "I'm picking up, umh, my gir..." He stopped.

"Your girlfriend ?" I ask.

" yea, ?" He said it like it was a question.

"Cute." I say, "I'm going to grab something to drink, do you want to come.?" I ask.

"Sure" he respond.

I knew he was going to be in Florida but I didn't know that he was going to be in the same city as I am.

Why did I feel weird when he said that he was picking up his girlfriend? Weird I don't even like him.

"Dude do you want to come over? Erin is not here, she's out of town so you can come over." I say to my boyfriend.

Erin and I are the "gay kids" from our group of friends, we are really close friends.

She does know that I'm dating Derrick but she doesn't know that he's coming over almost every weekend.

Erin came out before me, and I look up to her because she's not afraid of anything and I love that about her.

I'm afraid to come out to my parents because they are not very outside-of-the-box people, they don't really like to think that I'm gay and they don't want me to be gay.

"Ok I'll come over babe, see you soon" Derrick said to me

"Ok bye babe" I said to him.

Erin and I live in the same apartment, Isabella lives with her boyfriend.

"I just got back from Florida and I'm tired, let me sleep jakeeee" I say to Jacob.

"Ok but I'm pretty sure that Gabe is coming to town"
Jacob says it just to keep me awake

"Wait Gabe? Gabe Hortsmann?" I ask.

"Yep he's so hot, you guys should totally date." Jacob says while smirking.

Jacob is hot a f, but he's gay and yea. Sad but true.

"Yea, I have his number. I can text him and invite him to my pool party" I say

"Wait how many people are you inviting?" Jacob asks with a worried face.

"Me, you, Isabella, Isabella's boyfriend, Derrick, Chris and Gabe. But I don't think Chris is going to come. He has an
over protective girlfriend" I say.

"Shit, too bad, but hope he comes" Jacob says

"He's not gay just saying and he's MINE" I say

"HEY! You're with Gabe or what?" Jacob asks while yelling at me and I laugh.

"Haha, oh yea, I'll text Gabe later" I say, "can I sleep now?" I ask.

"Yea, goodnight boo" he says.

"Goodnight bae" I say.

*next day.

"JACOB JACOB JACOB." I yell

Jake comes running to my room.

"Gabe just texted me, he said 'hey Erin, I heard you are going to have a party, can I come over?'." I say, "Good thing that he texted me first, what should I say, yes or sure?"  I ask.

"Sure." He answers with a excited face.

"Ok thanks, woohoo, Gabe is coming over" I do the girly scream. We do our hand shake.

"I need to get the party ready. Bad thing that Chris is not coming, ITS MY FUCKING 18th BIRTHDAY PARTY AND HE'S NOT COMING" I say.

"Sorry about that boo but there's something bigger coming for you, like Gabe" jake trying to cheer me up.

"Yea true though" I say while thinking of Chris.
