I wake up to something screeching and jumping on me, "Wake up sleepy head we got stuff to do today!" A wild Jenna says shaking me awake. "Ok, ok, I'm up, I'm up" I laugh a little pushing her off. "C'mon! Here! I'll do your makeup so you just have to pick you outfit." Jenna says grabbing her makeup bag and putting it on my bed. Thee Jenna Joseph wants to put my makeup on. H*ll yes! "Sure!" I screech like her. She happily grabs her foundation and cakes it on my face. She then puts eyeliner on me, winging it just a little. She curls my eyelashes and puts a dark pink shade of lipstick on me. "There! You can do whatever you want with your hair. Here I'll leave so you can get dressed." She says Putting her makeup back in her bag and gets up to leave my room. I throw on some white lace shorts and a black t-shirt and some converse and wait for everyone to be ready.
"My nails look great! But I think she cut me with her cuticle knife" Jenna says examining her red manicured nails. I look at my nails, they are a red color too, I had never had a manicure before and it was pretty relaxing, "I think my nails look the best, don't they Josh?" Tyler says putting his nails out. We had forced them to get manicures but they got a clear coat for polish. "Of course." Josh says laughing. Tyler grabs Jenna's bag our of her hands and takes out me and Jenna's nail clippers. He hands the bag back to Jenna and says, "Josh come here, let's take a picture with our new nails" Tyler says way to excited. Him And Josh get into a weird position and me and Jenna take out our phones and snap a few pictures. "Ok kids, give us our nail clippers back, me and lily are going to go shopping, you boys find something to do." Jenna says snatching the nail clippers from their hands. Jenna grabs my hand as we start walking away from Josh and Tyler. "We are gonna get so many things!," Jenna says excited, "Clothes, shoes, hair clips, everything!" We walk into a local store and when I walk in I'm hit in the face with many and many of different scents. Here the shopping begins!
"Today was amazing Jenna! Thanks for everything!" I say holding onto the many many bags of stuff. "No problem! Also we are going out tonight so when we get back to the hotel dress fancy, I suggest the sparkly top." She says pointing to one of the bags I hold. "Sure! For you then I suggest the black dress." I say pointing to one of the bags she holds. "Great choice" she says smirking. "I bet Tyler will love it" I say smirking back to her.
       I walk into my hotel room and basically collapse on my bed because of the weight of all the bags. I stand back up and pull out my outfit for the night, a silver sparkly top, high wasted black jean shorts, and black wedges. I curl my hair and wing my eye liner, I leave my lips nude and I look at the mirror. I pick up my bracelet and put it on my wrist. 'It's beautiful' 'Almost as beautiful as you' I look back up to the mirror a tear escaping my eye. I wipe it away, suck it up, grab my phone, and go out into the hallway. "Well it's about time" Tyler says crossing his arms leaning up against the wall, d*mn that boy has sass. "You said that out loud" Josh says and we all burst out laughing. We walk to the elevator still laughing.
             "This place is amazing!" I say as we get a seat. Josh sits next to me and Tyler sits next to Jenna. "I know, I didn't except to be this nice, good pick Jenna." Josh says folding his hands on the table.  "Guys this is too high class for us we should leave" Tyler says faking to leave which earns him a laugh from everyone. We order food and it eventually arrives. The food is about as good as everything else here.
              I get back to the hotel and change into an oversized shirt, the dinner was pretty uneventful but still nice. I take off my makeup and leave my hair down. I'm plugging my phone in when I hear a knock at my door. I don't answer it because I already know who it is. I go and sit down in the position I was last night by the window. Josh comes and sits down where he was last night too. We just sit in silence for a few minutes before he clears his throat and says, "You promised me something." He says looking at me. I look back at him, his brown eyes glimmering in the moon light and his red hair looking soft as ever. I turn back to looking at the window and I can feel him watching me. I take a deep breath and try to swallow back the tears. "About five years ago, on this day, so well today is the anniver-, anyways, five years ago. My mom had.... My mom.... Had... My," he comes a little closer, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, "my mom got cancer, brain cancer, she was locked away in the hospital for, well, uh, probably a good 4-6 months, I don't really remember but, me and my sister went to go visit her about a week before she died and uh," I laugh a little really focusing on the city, "she said 'How's lily? Will she ever come visit me?' She said that right to my face, my own mother, she didn't even know who I was. I told her how much lily loved her and I left the room and cried, she died the next day" I say tears running down my cheeks. I missed my mom. "What's that?" Josh says pointing at my bracelet. "Well, my dad, he got remarried about 5 years later and uh, my step mom gave me this before my trip, I love my step mom just as much as my real mom and my real mom always use to say things like the sunset and stuff was almost as beautiful as me, and my step mom said that to me when she gave me the bracelet and so yah........ It's stupied you didn't have to listen." I say starting to stand up, he grabs my hand and pulls me back down. I curl in a ball and start bawling, he pulls me into a hug and I cry on his shoulder. We sit there like that for a few minutes, then he picks me up and brings me to the bed. He sits on the bed, leaving me sitting on his lap with my arms around his neck. I feel so safe in his arms, like no one can hurt me, he pulls away from the hug, holding my back for support, "Lily I wanted to listen, I-I care about you." He says, I look back up to him to see he was crying too. "If I didn't care I  wouldn't have listened, I'm just, l-lily I'm so sorry!" He says falling back into the bed holding me in his arms as we both cry, holding each other. After a few minutes and things are calmed down I say, "Can you stay with me tonight?" Something about him holding me is so comforting and right now I need that. "Always" he says pulling the covers over us. I turn over on the bed and he wraps his arms around me from behind. "Thank you" I get out before falling asleep.
