Butterflies (A Before You Exit fanfiction)

Chapter 9

*day of the flight (Wednesday)*

MARIA'S POV

NO MATTER HOW FAR WE GO, I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW, I WANT YOU BAD, AND I WON'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY, I KNOW THAT WE'LL NEVER BREAK!....

"Ughhh." I moaned while pressing the off button on my alarm clock.

Today was the day that we were leaving for Orlando and I'm beyond excited, except for the part about waking about at 6 in the morning because our flight was at 8am and we have to leave at 7am. Jenna's parents and my parents are splitting Kristina's stuff to take, since we have Vinny and they have Jenna's younger sister, Leila, who's three years younger than us. I look at Jenna and Kristina and they're still not up yet.

"Damn heavy sleepers." I mumble to myself.

So, I kneel down in between them and start screaming, "GET UP GET UP GET UP WE GOTTA GET READY WE GOTTA EAT BREAKFAST WE GOTTA GET TO THE AIRPORT GET UP!"

Neither of them budged.

"You have 5 minutes to get ready." I said.

They both shot straight up.

"WHAT?!" they shouted.

"Guys I'm just kidding. You wouldn't wake up so I had too. You have a little less than an hour to get ready." I said.

"Asswipe." They said.

"Haha very funny." I rolled my eyes.

We raced down the stairs once we smelt bagels, eggs, and bacon, our all time favorite.

"Geez girls calm down. One, you guys could have fallen down the stairs. And two, you three have the noses of a dog." Mom said while snickering at her joke.

"One, we practically did fall down the stairs." I said.

"Two, we do have the noses of a dog when it comes to food." Jenna said.

"And three, we will do anything for our favorite breakfasts." Kristina finished.

"Whatever. Enjoy. Just don't eat too slow because you guys have to help bring the stuff upstairs, downstairs. And, the moving guys are college boys and I know that you three don't want to have bed head. Oh and they'll be here in 20 minutes." Mom said then walked away.

"Okay. So we spend 15 minutes eating, then we go through our sweats on, but we still have to look presentable for the moving guys and for everyone around us on the plane. You never know, there might be some cute boys. Then, we help bring the stuff down, which should be in a half hour. Deal?" Kristina asked.

"Deal." Jenna and I said.

*

"Okay. So we're all done getting changed?" I asked.

"Yup." Kristina and Jenna said.

I was wearing my gray leggings and my light green hoodie with PINK written on the front in white.

Jenna was wearing her gray leggings and her light pink hoodie.

Kristina was wearing her dark gray leggings, her black zip up hoodie, and her purple cami.

My hair was in a high ponytail, Jenna's was in a high bun, and Kristina's was down. We all wore foundation and a little mascara and our converse/vans.

"Okay. Now for the boxes. Which ones are fragile?" Jenna asked.

Kristina and I pointed to a pile we made of fragile stuff. There was about 4 boxes.

"Okay. Let's do those first." Jenna said.

We all took one box and carefully and slowly walked down the stairs and set them on the kitchen table.

"Mom! The boxes on the kitchen table are fragile and the ones on the ground are not! Okay?" I shouted.

"Okay!" She replied.

"Back upstairs we go." Kristina said.

*

Within 30 minutes we had all of the boxes downstairs.

"Oh my god! Those boys are not cute! But they keep on checking us out! They look like they're like 20!" Kristina said then fake gagged.

"Ew." Jenna said.

"I know right." I replied.

"Okay! Everyone in the car! Vinny you're in the truck! Girls you can either sit together in the middle row or one of you can sit in the trunk with Vinny!" Mom yelled.

"Uhm. We'll sit together." We all said.

"Okay. This is gonna be a long trip." Mom mumbled.

*

We are now at the airport passing through security. The moving guys are gonna drive the stuff over. We have our clothes and stuff like that in our suit cases, and the house is already furnished.

"Ugh. How much longer?" Jenna whined.

"Why are you complaining now? We have an 8 hour flight ahead of us." I said.

"UGHHH!" Jenna, Vinny, and Kristina whined.

"Just go back to sleep or watch movies. And this won't be much longer either. Just calm your tits." I said. After the last part people gave me dirty looks. They can suck my dick.

*

Finally, we're on the plane. In one row, there's me, Kristina, and Jenna, in the row behind us there's Mom, Dad, and Vinny, and in the row in front of us there's Mrs. Richards (Jenna's mom), Mr. Richards (Jenna's dad), and Leila.

"Okay. Lets just put our earbuds in and go to sleep. We'll be there before you know it. And we'll need the sleep, considering we went to bed at 12:30 and woke up at 6." I said.

"Yes, Mother." Jenna and Kristina said.

"Very funny. Just go to fucking sleep." I whispered the last part to them.

They giggle and said, "Okay, okay. Calm your tits," which made me laugh.

I put on one of my favorite Rascal Flatts song, Stand, and then all I could remember is hearing: you feel like a candle, in a hurricane. just like a picture, with a broken frame. alone and helpless, like you've lost your fight. but you'll be alright, you'll be alright...

**

Ah! Fresh air! We're finally here!

"Finaalllllllyyyyyy!" Jenna yelled.

We all laughed. We have to take a taxi to our house. Oh, and Jenna's parents and Leila thought that nine people in one house was too much so they bought the house across the street from us. Luckily, they let Jenna live with us still. So, Mom, Kristina, Jenna, and I got into one taxi cab, and Mr. and Mrs. Richards, Dad, Leila, and Vinny gotten into another, bigger taxi.

*(thirty minutes of the taxi ride later)*

"OH MY GOD IS THAT OUR HOUSE?!" Jenna, Vinny, Kristina, and I screamed while pointing to a huge house with an underground pool and basketball court outside.

"Yes! Now please help me unload the trunk!" Mom said.

But no one listened to Mom. Instead, we all went inside the huge house. First, there was our kitchen which was huge. Then, was the family room with a flat screen tv. Next, was the basement, which apparently is our game/hang out room since there's bean bags, another flat screen tv with Vinny's XBOX 360, and a DVD player. Once we got upstairs, the first room on the right was my parents' room which was obviously the master bedroom. The first room on the left was Vinny's bedroom. Then, the second room on the right was Kristina's room, and the second room on the left was Jenna's room. Last, the third room on the left was my room, and the third room on the right was the guest bedroom.

All the bedrooms had their own bathroom, small tv set, a small walk-in closet, and a small balcony.

My room was a light blue green color. All of my furniture and door frames were white, my bathroom and ceiling was white, and the rug on the floor was an off white with a mix of colors. My balcony was facing north so I had the view of the sunrise and sunset. I had a small desk with a few draws and a mirror. I'm guessing that's my makeup/accessories/hair desk. Everything in this room was perfect.

KRISTINA'S POV

Holy shit. This room is unbelievable. The walls are a lavender color with the doorframes, ceiling, and bathroom white. My furniture is also white. The rug is light gray. I had the same makeup desk, walk-in closet, bathroom, balcony, and tv as everyone else. The room is hard to explain, but boy did I love it.

Oh my god I just can't believe that we're actually in Orlando! I wonder where Jeremy is! He probably has a house a block or two away from us. I can't believe that he went through all of that trouble for Jenna, Maria, and I. God, we're so lucky to have him.

JENNA'S POV

OH MY GOD! This room is absolutely perfect! The walls are orange with white doorframes, ceiling, furniture, and the bathroom is also white. The rug is light gray. Although my room is setup the same as Kristina and Maria's, it's still amazing. I love it!

"GIRLS COME HELP ME WITH THE BAGS!" Maria's mom yelled from downstairs.

"COMING!" we all said then raced down the stairs.

"Oh my god our rooms are amazing! How did our parents even afford this?!" Maria asked.

"Well, my mom told me that our moms did overtime when we were at school and this house wasn't priced that high. I guess that the family that lived here wanted to leave quick." I said.

"Oh." Kristina and Maria said.

When we got to the car, Vinny was already there. I guess he went to help before us. Wow, there's still like 6 bags left.

"The moving guys should be here by around 5 o'clock tonight. For now, you girls can unpack the stuff you packed." Mrs. Collin said.

"Okay." The girls and I replied. We each had about 2 bags. We put in outfits for the next week, which was all we could fit in the car. The rest of the 2 bags we had were filled with makeup, toiletries, shoes, our iHomes, and our iPhone chargers.

We all took our bags, went into our rooms, and blasted music while we unpacked.

MRS. COLLIN SMITH'S POV

I was just about to go inside with the last bag when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Hello." I said.

"Hi. I'm Mrs. McDonough, your new neighbor. I just wanted to come over and say welcome." the women said.

"I'm Mrs. Collin, or Mrs. Smith, or Mrs. Collin Smith, whatever suits you. And it's nice to meet you. And thank you."

"You too."

"Hey, do you know anyone here who has teenage kids? I have a 14 year old daughter, a 13 year old son, and my daughter has her two friends staying here with us. One of them is 15, the other is 16."

"Actually I do. I have three boys. One is 15, one is 17, and the other is 19. I don't think that anyone else here really has kids though."

"Really? Wow." Then it clicked in my head. McDonough.. 15..17...19... These are the Before You Exit boys!

"Wait, are your boys in Before You Exit?" I asked.

"Yes they are! I'm guessing your daughter and her friends are fans?"

"Gosh, you have no idea."

Mrs. McDonough laughed and said, "I have a plan."

"Which is?"

"Well, how about you guys come over for dinner tomorrow. But, don't tell the girls that they're neighbors are Before You Exit. They'll figure it out once the see the boys tomorrow."

"Oh my god that is perfect! I already like you."

"Haha! Thanks! Right back at ya! I was hoping that we finally got neighbors that had kids around the boys' ages and not an old couple with really young grandkids!"

"Well today is your day!"

"Yup! So what time is good for you tomorrow?"

"Uhm.. how about 5?"

"Perfect. I'll see you then!"

"Yup! See you!"

"Wait! I forgot something." Mrs. McDonough said while writing something on a piece of paper.

"Here! The top one is the house number, the bottom is my cell. But, once you call say that it's you because I have a lot of people calling me because of the boys."

"Thanks, Mrs. McDonough. And okay, that's no problem."

"Thanks. And please, call me Joan."

"Okay! Then you can call me Sue."

"Okay. So I'll see you tomorrow night!"

"Yup! See you! Oh and try not to let the boys out that much today or tomorrow because the girls might see them."

"Okay. No problem! Bye!"

"Bye!"

I walked back inside. Wow, Joan is really nice. I already made a new friend! And a good one since she made up that genius plan!

"GIRLS AND BOY! WE ARE GOING TO OUR NEW NEIGHBORS HOUSE TOMORROW FOR DINNER!" I shouted.

I got a chorus of 'ugh okays'.

Wait. Is it fancy or casual? Should we bring something? I'll just call Joan at home.

ring, ring, ringggg

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hi! It's Sue!"

"Long time no see!"

"Haha. I just wanted to know if the dinner tomorrows is casual of fancy and if we should bring something."

"Uhm. Well it would take the whole day to get my boys into a tie so casual, and no you don't need to bring anything."

"Okay. Thanks. Well I gotta go unpack! Bye!"

"Okay. Have fun! Bye!"

click.

Great, time to unpack my clothes.

"Honey, come unpack!" I yelled to Dave.

"Okay! I'll meet you upstairs!" he replied.

He's probably outside scoping the lawn. Men.

(5 o'clock same day)

MARIA'S POV

We all finished our packing and were either exploring the house, or chilling and watching tv. The girls and I are watching tv in the family room, Vinny is playing minecraft downstairs, and Mom and Dad are doing something outside.

knock knock.

I went up to answer the door and it was the moving guys. Just fucking great.

Before the could even speak I said, "Hold on, let me get my parents," the shut the door and ran outside.

"Mom! Dad! The moving guys are here!"

"Okay! We're coming!" Dad said.

After talking to the moving guys mom yelled, "Okay! Everyone outside and help take a box!"

Then I spotted something. Andrew's skateboard! I brought it because I wanted to teach myself how to skateboard!

Once all the boxes were put away, I grabbed it and said, "Yesss!"

"Maria, we're ordering pizza and it's gonna be here in a half hour." Mom said.

"Okay. I'm gonna attempt to teach myself how to skateboard on the basketball court. Just call me in or send someone to get me once the pizza's here."

"Okay. Have fun and good luck, sweetie."

"Thanks."

*

"MARIA THE PIZZA IS HERE GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" I heard Jenna and Kristina yell. I chuckled. They are too funny.

So, I taught myself how to skateboard! Well, getting my balance took 5 minutes, then trying to ride the skateboard took a half hour. I'm still a little off balanced but I'm glad that I can actually move the thing and not break my neck. Luckily, the pizza came late. I need those extra 5 minutes.

*

"Okay! Everyone in their bedrooms!" Mom yelled at 9:30.

"Ughhhh." all four of us said.

"Guys, you all are exhausted. Just go to bed." Mom said.

"Fine." we said as we trudged up the steps.

This has been a long day.
