The Perfect Gift

Chapter 2: Party Plans

I get out of bed and ran down stairs for (1) See why she wants me (2) Tell her about the last minute gift.
I arrived to the kitchen to see my mom writing on a piece of paper.

"Hi...mom...I need to ask you something..." I asked nervously.

"Honey, that can wait we need to talk about the party plans and who is doing what. Okay?"

She looked a little stressed so I backed off a little bit.

"Okay." I said and immediately wanted to take it back.

I sat at the table with my dad waiting to be told what to do.

I am going to die....I am going to die with all of this information... Please help.....anybody.

My mom got out of the kitchen and sat in the seat where she normally sits to talk about important "stuff".

"Okay everybody I know that today is Emelee's birthday and we need to get all of the stuff done before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Now first order of business, Amanda I need you to get the decorations for the party here is the list and the money." Said my mom strictly.

She handed me the list and the money. Great $40 will be enough money to buy all of this and hopefully maybe for that gift. The list was pretty small.

"Also I need you back here in 3 hours." said my mom.

Are YOU CRAZY I have only 3 hours to get all of this and buy Emelee her gift!!! How am I okay with all of this!

I don't know why but I said "Okay that can work."

"Great now go. Your dad and I will do everything else. Remember only 3 hours."

I nodded and looked up at the clock it is 10 o'clock in the morning.

Okay let me set a timer on my phone then I can head out.

I took out my phone, set the timer and left the house. I headed toward the store with doubt and nervousness in the back of my mind.
