My tears flow again and I don't know the reason of their existence. We are just friends...best friends....best friends who will probably never see each other again

"Oh come on. What the hell? You can't get sick today! We have to go to Disneyland today." I huff and pace the room.

Could this day get any better?
I mean Disneyland!
That's all I asked for!

To recap the whole story:

I came to visit my aunt in America with my grandmother whom I have a very strong relationship with now.

"Amn-"

"Do not complete that." I cut in, shattering my grandmother's desperate attempts to calm me down.

"Okay...Amelia. You're being annoying. Your aunt can't help it if she's having a fever" she tries to talk some sense into me.

"I know" , I sigh "it's just that I want this vacation to be perfect"

Unlike the rest of my life
My subconscious adds
Oh shut it, you!

"It still will be" my grandmother comes and sits with me and I smile at her gently.
I honestly hate myself sometimes for being so rude and moody. She did nothing but love me and nurture me and I give her this in return.
My stupid, idiotic mood swings
It doesn't surprise me that sometimes I wish I didn't exist.
If I didn't, my grandparents wouldn't have to go to my mom, begging for forgiveness. My mom wouldn't have to suffer......
Okay, no time to be emotional right now!

"Hey! I have an idea." my cousin says to his mom.
A dumb one, I'm sure!
I did mention my mood swings, right?

"What?" aunt Hina replies

"You could call Mason. He owes you anyway" he shrugs

Oh no. No, no, no, no. I'm already having a bad day. Now you want me to listen to crappy songs?

"How many times have I told you that he doesn't owe me? He's a sweet kid is all. I can call Christina and ask her if Mason can come?" She looks at me with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Fine. Just tell him to not be a jerk" I huff yet again

Wow it's amazing how far I would go to enjoy this trip.
Mason Rogers?
Seriously?
when did I sink so low?
The only benefit is that you'll get to see his handsome face all day!

I stand up and go to my room to change my clothes. I look for some Disney character outfit because let's be real, it looks cute.

I look for it in my bag and find a Minnie Mouse t shirt and pair it with boyfriend jeans.
I take a shower, straighten my hair and put on some lip gloss
I take a last look at myself in the mirror and then go downstairs to see Mason sitting and playing PS4 with my cousin, Usman.

There is rarely any day that you see a moody teenager playing with a kid.
That is, of course, if he is moody because not everyone is like me.

Yet here he is, playing with my cousin and something tells me that he really isn't that bad.
But hey hey hey! Let me introduce you to my evil half!
I roll my eyes at myself
Mason looks at the stairs when he hears footsteps and then looks away.

Weren't guys like supposed to stare at girls all surprised and baffled and stuff when they look good because I look really good today!

I laugh out loud at my stupid thoughts.
