California Dreaming

California here I come

I was all packed to go to California, I was so excited, in just a couple of hours I would be on a plane to California. I jumped out of bed and quickly got ready, I curled my hair and put on light make up, before pulling on a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a yellow crop top and a light cardigan. It was pretty warm here in Florida as summer was now here. 

I skipped down the stairs and into the kitchen, I have my parents a kiss on the cheek before sitting down and eating the oatmeal and fruit that they prepared for me. Sometimes I hated my parents, they would take me travelling around the world, I loved that when I was younger but as I grew up I started to resent it. I would miss my friends, I was away for weeks on end. 

But I loved them all the same, I resented so much travelling but I had the chance to see the world, ive been just about anywhere in the world and I got to see and learn things that would never get to see staying home or at school. 9 times out of 10 my parents would pull me out of school which  I hated because all my friends were there but I got to experience so much in life before the age of 20. 

"Someone is happy this morning," my dad said chuckling, I was just about finished my oatmeal.

"Well you see, my oh so amazing and wonderful parents are sending me to California for the summer," I couldnt stop the smile as it formed on my face. I was so happy that I would be going to the place I always dreamed off. 

"Well you are very welcome honey, we just want you to have the best summer you can before you head back to college," my mom said, right I almost forgot that I was going back to college after summer. 

I had taken the past year off. I went just as I graduated from school, but I wasnt doing something I loved so I compromised with my parents and they said I could take a year off to find who I am but I have to go back after a year. 

"Right you should go and get your bags honey, we dont want you to be late," my dad said placing his mug in the sink.

I quickly stood and ran upstairs, I made sure I had everything one last time before taking it downstairs. Everything was soon packed into the car and we were on our way to the airport, I couldnt wait to get onto that plane, I was one step closer to being where I wanted to be. 

----

Hours later and I was stepping off the plane, I was so tired from that plane ride, and I missed my parents already. My mom and I had a tearful goodbye, I knew my dad was holding back his tears. I had never travelled alone before and I was their only daughter so I knew this was hard for them. 

It was 4pm in California so that meant it was 7pm back home, I trudged my bags along, after I grabbed them, walking over to the car hire place in the airport. My dad had hired me a car for the summer so I would have a way of getting round.

The line of people was so long, all I wanted to do was get to my apartment and nap,I sighed and placed my bags down, I may as well get comfortable. 

I was in the line for about an hour before I was at the front. After giving the lady all my detail I was given the keys and was soon shown to the car that I would have for the summer. I dont know what I was expecting, but I will tell you it certainly wasnt a BMW 4 Series convertible. I was in love with this car.

I thanked the guy after he placed my bags in the back, I climbed into the car, I decided to put the roof down before I started to drive. I was told the roof would only go down before you started driving, once you were moving it would not work. 

Soon after I was already on my way out of the airport and into the LA traffic, I didnt care too much even though I was dying to sleep. I was just happy to be in California, the sun beaming down on me as I drove down the highway. 

After what should have been about a 45 minute drive turned into a 2 and a half hour drive thanks to the traffic, I was sat in my apartment, it was perfect, my parents really went all out with this trip. 

It was now 8.30 and I was so tired from all the travelling today, I just wanted to climb into bed and sleep for days. I walked over to my suitcases and pulled out some clothes to sleep in, I will unpack tomorrow or something. Once I was all changed for bed, I climbed in and pulled out my phone going onto twitter. 

Made it safe to California all safe, I cant wait to go out an explore, but im beat so goodnight twitter!

I tweeted before going onto my music and playing a random song, I placed my phone on the nightstand after placing it on charge, I was asleep before I was even 30 seconds into the song. 

When I think about the days, When we were like cursive is the last thing I heard before falling into a deep slumber.
