Chapter 2 (the trip)

|ANNA'S POV|

I walked down stairs around 8:14am and see my mom sitting on the couch drinking coffee watching the today show.

"Hey mom you're up early." I say as I sit down next to her. "I'm always up at this time you just always wake up late." She says with a chuckle. She was right, I never get up this early in the summer I usually wake up at around 11:30ish but I wanted to make sure that I had enough time to get packed and ready before Liz came to pick me up.

She wanted to get to NewYork early so we could walk around and just hang out. "Are you excited for this week?" My mom asked.

"Hell yeah it's gonna be a lot of fun just being me and Liz...not that I would mind you coming along its just that..."

My mom cuts in, "I get it Anna you're growing up and need a little freedom." My mom says as she sets her coffee on the table. "I want you to have a good time. But you know New York City and all the things that could happen, that's why it's hard for me to let you go." My mom has tears in her eyes this is the first time I'm leaving my mom for a long period of time in a while, ever since what happened to my dad she has a hard time letting me go places by myself, even if I'm with a good friend she knows.

"I'm gonna be fine don't worry too much I'll call you everyday to tell you what I'm up to." I reassure as I hug my mom.

"Yeah you better, do you have everything packed? Liz called not to long ago to tell you that she'll be over soon."

"Yeah I'm all packed and ready to go!" I say with a grin. "I'm gonna grab my bags from upstairs I'll be right back."

When I get back downstairs with my overly packed bags I hear the door bell ring. "ITS OPEN!" I yell. When the door opens I hear Liz.

"Its meeeee."

"Who's me?!" I laugh as I greet Liz with a big hug. She's wearing blue shorts a white crop top and sparkly vans, comfortable enough for a trip. "You ready to hit the road?" Liz asks pointing to the door.

"Yup in a minute, MOM LIZ IS HERE!" My mom comes to the front door and hugs Liz.

"Hey, how have you been!" She's greets my eager to get going best friend.

"I've been good...Working hard in college." Liz says with a grin and a thumbs up to my mom.She's putting on a front to my mom. I don't blame her.

"That's good, well be careful on your way to New York okay, and call me when you get there so I know you made it safely."

"We will Ms. Mitchell!" Liz grabs some of my bags to bring them to the car while I say goodbye to my mom.

"Bye mom, I'm gonna miss you and please don't worry too much you don't need anymore stress alright?" I say rubbing her shoulders in comfort.

"Yes I know, I love you have a great trip and try not to lose your voice at that concert!" My mom and I both laugh. I grab the rest of my bags and start heading out the door. As I put the rest of my stuff in Liz's trunk I wave to my mom. "LOVE YOU MOM!"

"LOVE YOU TOO, YOU GUYS HAVE FUN!" My mom yells as we drive away.

"So how have you been Liz." I turn down the radio to hear her clearly.

"Good actually, I've been living the college dream, parties, cute guys and oh yeah, lots of freedom." Liz smirks.

"I bet you go crazy at those parties." I say laughing.

"Well yeah they are a bit wild you'll see when you go...." We drive for about 25 minutes until we get to the Brooklyn bridge. Liz blasts the radio to emblem3's song sunset blvd which is Ironic considering we're going to New York but who cares we both sing their songs the rest of the way like crazed fans.

When we get to the hotel it's 10:30am it took us a while because Liz got lost on the way but I didn't mind she had plenty of college stories to tell me. We walk in with our luggage and check in. When we get on the elevator to get to our room it felt endless, it was all the way at the top of the hotel. I was shocked when we opened the doors to find a master suite.

"How did you pay for this!" I say in shock not knowing she was gonna get a huge room. "My grandma gave me a boat load of cash to spend here so I decided to get a big room." Liz says nonchalantly.

"Big? This is a gigantic room with a balcony and a view of New York...with a kitchen!" I say as I walk toward our very own private kitchen. Liz turns on the T.V. and puts on a morning talk show then starts to get unpacked.

I grab my stuff, take it in my room and hang my clothes in the closet. When I'm finished I go out in the living room and saw Liz on the balcony. "Hey, watcha lookin at?"

"Nothing really, just, ya know...THE STATUE OF LIBERTY no big deal!" We both laugh and look at each other.

"This is gonna be a crazy week!" Liz says with widened eyes and a huge smile on her face I can only imagine what Liz has planned for this trip.
