Lily's POV
3AM
I'm in the kitchen making myself breakfast. Today's the weekend Javi and I go to New York. I'm excited but also kind of tired. Half way through buttering my toast I hear someone honk a car horn. I look outside the window and see Javi in the driver's seat smiling and honking like an idiot blasting Travi$ Scott. I knew it was a bad idea to give him the keys the night before we left. I put on a sweatshirt and go outside, leaving the front door open.
Lily: What are you doing? You're gonna wake the whole neighbourhood up.
Javi: We need to go.
Lily: I haven't eaten yet.
Javi: It's cool I got us covered.
He shows me an starbucks bag.
Lily: What starbucks is open at 3 am?
Javi: I know people who know people.
Lily: Whatever. Just come help me get my bag.
He parks the car and comes inside with me, we go up to my room.
Javi: I'm driving us to the airport right?
Lily: For the 1000th yes.
Javi: And I'm driving us back too right?
Lily: Again, the answer is yes.
I roll my eyes at him.
Javi: I see somebody's not a morning person.
Lily: It's not that I'm not a mor-
I let out a little scream. Jacob is in my room sitting on my bed, wrinkling the comforter slightly.
Jacob: Going somewhere?
Lily: When did you get back from college?
I make him get up and smooth the comforter back out again. He sits down in the exact same place making it wrinkle again.
Jacob: Answer my question first, where are you going?
Lily: New York for the weekend.
Javi clears his throat.
Lily: With Javi.
Jacob: And Mom, Dad and Carlos know?
I nod.
Lily: Dad's the one who got the tickets.
Jacob: You're not going.
I roll my eyes. Typical Jacob coming back from and trying to control me again.
Jacob: What if you get robbed or shot or worse?
I hand Javi my bag and we go downstairs Jacob follows us down.
Jacob: I'm serious Lily you could get food poisoning from a hot dog.
Lily: See you Monday Jacob.
I close the trunk of the car and get in the passenger seat.
Jacob: What if a construction worker hits on you?
Lily: Bye Jacob.
Javi drives off. I watch in the rear view mirror as we get further and further away from Jacob.
