"Merry early Christmas!" Alice dmed me.
"Yeeee same to chu fam"
"Fr I'm such a hawt potato"
"1 to 100 real quick" I laughed.
"You mean 99 ;)"
"Your acting weird today. You've been acting weird for like two weeks"
"No I haven't"
"Yeah you have lmao"
"I gtg I'm seeing some family for the holidays"
"AYE WAIT" She didn't reply. I sighed.
I checked snapchat. She'd just updated her story.
There was a picture of her phone probably on her lap while she looked off somewhere. "In the airport" She captioned it. Next was a picture of her converses. "Getting on the plane!!!!!"
"Have fun with your fam" I texted her on snapchat.
"Ok :)"
I headed out of my room. Mom was in the kitchen scanning the nearly empty fridge.
She looked up. "What a nice surprise."
"Uh huh." I said.
I checked Instagram. I'd left the cube fandom a while back and changed my fan account to a TØP account. Alice did too, but also fangirls about other boy bands. Nothing new.
I got a text from Luke. "Hey baby"
I felt warm inside. "Heyy"

December 21st
Alice
I'm in a hotel room in San Francisco! I told Emma I'm going to see family but I'm really going to surprise her. We came here because of my dads work.
"Hey mom?"
"Yes?" She asked.
"Can I meet that friend now?" I'd told her that one of my old friends (Emma) moved here from France.
"Ok. What's her address?"
We parked down the street of Emma's house. I wanted to surprise her. I turned on my phone. 7:34. I got out of the car and looked at the row of houses. I knew which was hers, it just seemed so strange to see it in person. I sighed. Here I go.
