Chapter 7
{Katrina}
"Where are we going? We've been walking for hours!" Michael complains as we lead the boys to our favorite barbecue place in Birmingham. "Stop complaining already! We're almost there!" I say and we turn the corner. We walk into the restraunt and I take a big, deep breath. "I love barbecue in Birmingham." I say and a waitress walks up to us. "Hello. Can I take you to a table?" She asks and I nod. "Table for eight please." I say and she nods. "Alright then. Follow me." She says and we follow her to a table. "So what can I get for y'all?" She asks after we all sit down. "We'll take eight watermelon lemonades." I say and she nods before she turns around and walks off. "What are we getting?" Ashton asks as he looks at the menu. "Well, if you want to get everything I think that we should get the All Meat Lover's platter." Lilac says and the boys nod. "They have the best cheddar cheese biscuits that I have ever tasted." I say and sigh at the idea. "You're right. They do have some amazing biscuits." Lilac agrees. The girl from before comes back with our lemonades and takes out a pen and a note pad. "What can I get for y'all?" She asks. "We'll get six All Meat Lover's platters, please." I say and she nods before she disappears. A few minutes after she leaves another waitress comes and hands us two baskets of cheddar cheese biscuits. "Yay!" Amanda says excitedly and she grabs two biscuits before she puts them in her mouth. The boys cautiously take one each and take a small bite out of them. After they swallow their eyes pop open and they down the rest of a basket. I take the other basket off of the table and they look at me then they look at the basket. "Can we get the other basket?" Luke asks, but I shake my head. "No." I say and they all give me the puppy dog look. "Can we please get the other basket?" Luke tries again. "You can each get one." I say and hand them each one. They give me a great full smile before they eat it and moan. "This is so much better than vegemite!" Calum says and I nod. Lilac, Kahlen, Amanda, and I split the rest of the second basket until there's only one left. "Who gets the last one?" Amanda says and we all reach for the last biscuit. I push their hands away, grab it and pop it into my mouth before the girls can notice. "Where did the biscuit go?" Kahlen asks and I look down. They look at me and shoot me a glare. "I love you guys!" I say and they roll their eyes.The food comes and we dig in. I split a platter with Lilac and Amanda and Kahlen split one, while each of the boys get their own. "This is a lot of food!" Ashton says and we laugh. "Sorry. We forgot that America has the largest size portions. You can take leftovers you know." I say and they look down at the plate. "Try it guys. It won't bite, we promise." Kahlen jokes and they nod before they take a bite. After they finish chewing and swallow they moan out loud and turn a shade of red. "So do y'all like it?" I ask and they nod. "Try the brisket next." I offer and the same thing happens again. "I don't want to leave America." Michael says and we laugh. "Hurry up and finish so we can go. We want to take y'all somewhere else." Amanda says and the boys nod then continue to eat.
After we finish eating and get some to-go plates (with the boys getting like four bags worth of biscuits) we leave the restraunt and go to the park some ways down the road. "This is one of my favorite places in Birmingham of all time." I say as we walk into the park. "There are preformers, poets, painters, singers...basically any form of the arts." Amanda says and looks at me. "Katrina even comes here sometimes to sing." She says and the boys look at me, but I look down and blush. "It's no big deal guys. I mostly come here to just walk around." I say and they shrug. "Well, I'm going to go and check out the painters." Calum says and Kahlen runs by his side. "I'm coming with you." She says and they walk off. "I want to go check out the poets." Amanda says and Ashton walks up to her. "Can I come with you?" He asks and she pulls him after her. "Well Lilac and I are going to check out the singers." Michael says and pulls him after her. "Well I guess that just leaves you and me." Luke says and we start to walk. "You can really sing you know." He says as we walk in silence. "I write my own songs too. I've just always loved the Arts, but I can't draw to save my life." I joke and he laughs. "I would have never guessed that about you." He says and I laugh quietly. "You know what they say 'The most silent people have the loudest minds'." I say and he nods. "You're right. Your city is amazing. I love everything here." He says and looks around in awe. I smile and say,"Thanks. I just want people to get to know and love this city just as much as I do. This is one of the coolest places on earth." He looks at me and smiles too. "I love your smile. It's just adorable." He says and I laugh. We sit down on a bench side by side and just stare at the moon. "I love the moon too, by the way. I love the earth." I say silently and he looks at me. "You're weird. You know that right?" He asks, but I hold up a hand. "I'm not crazy. My reality is just a little different than yours." I say and he starts to laugh really loud. After a while he stops laughing and just smiles at me. "You are something extrodinary. You know that?" He asks and I nod my head. "I wouldn't have it any other way." I say and look at the moon again.
