I woke up to the sun shining in my room, which was all warmed up, making me sweat. I took the covers off of me and sat up. My eyes felt swollen, my throat and head were hurting and I was still a bit shaky from last night. I just still couldn't process why this all just happens to me.

I went to my phone and got my speaker off my desk. I started to play Rihanna's ANTI album once I hooked up the speaker with my phone. I figured Dad probably took Bella to her gymnastic class and wanted to be anywhere but here with me, so I was left alone again. This time I actually wanted to be left alone so I wouldn't have to deal with anyone's shit.

Putting my jean shorts and Bob Marley shirt on top of my black high neck halter top bikini, I grabbed my phone and speaker and headed downstairs to eat breakfast. As I ate my bagel in peace, I heard through my speaker that I got a message. I checked my phone and saw it was from Justin.

I smiled, knowing that at least one person still cared for me.

Biebs w/ da big booty:                                       (Yes I finally changed it but still debating if I like the new name.)

Hey I'm not really doing anything before tonight so do you want me to help set up things and stop by the store?

What a life saver, I thought.

To Biebs w/ da big booty:

YES! Thank you! You literally saved me the trouble of trying to get out of the house!

I locked my screen and sighed in relief. Now all I have to worry about is sending Kiki the address, doing my makeup and make sure the chairs outside are set up around the fire pit. Oh shit. I forgot to tell him we'll be stopping by the beach for a little swim.

Biebs w/ da big booty:

What do you mean saving you from trouble? Did you get grounded again? And what do you want me to get at the store?

Lol. He knows me so well.

To Biebs w/ da big booty:

Yeah I'll explain later and just 2 good drinks and any type of snacks. My friends most likely will bring drinks. And ps I forgot to tell you we're going for a swim at the beach so bring your swim trunks!

Then I got a group text from Leah, Brooke and Kiki.

Group message from: Le Bee, Brookie Cookie, Kikster

Almost there! Can't wait to see you Lennnn! Bringing some presents too ;)

I knew they would never fail me. This is all a girl needs after having the shittiest day ever.

To Le Bee, Brookie Cookie, Kikster:

Missed you guys a ton! Tonight's gonna be great!

I put my plate in the sink and changed the music to Bryson Tiller. I quickly chugged a glass of water and went to the garage and saw my Tipster surfboard still there untouched since the move. I took it and put it against the wall next to the front door along with my towel.

Looking at the backyard, I saw that more chairs needed to be added around the pit. So I walked outside and once I opened the door, the warm heat hit my face. I could instantly feel the sweat I had this morning coming back.

Ignoring the heat, I went to the chairs around the table and moved them next to the pit. I looked at the pit, hoping Kiki didn't forget the wood. Though I think this one lights by itself.

Testing it out, it did. I guess we could use the wood for another time at the beach. I turned it off and couldn't think of anything else I should fix before they all show so I decided to tan for a little. I made sure to put extra sunscreen on my already tan parts and extra tanning lotion on the not so tan parts. I'm literally 50 shades of tan.
