Maya's POV Flash Back to about 3 years and 3 months ago--Disney World Family/Friends Vacation

Every summer since Riley was born, the whole Matthews clan went on vacation. This included Amy, Alan, Josh, Morgan and her family, Eric and his family, Riley and her family, and sometimes even Shawn, Feeny, and his wife. Eventually, Riley started bringing me along since I was kind of considered an honorary Matthew's child. These vacations ranged from trips to the beach, to the mountains, and this years choice, Disney World, of course.

I was always jealous of the Matthew's family; going on these extravagant vacations, with their big and close family. But I was glad to be apart of it now and what's even better was that my mom was going this year since her and Shawn were together.

And besides the fact that my mom was going to be coming on this vacation, it was going to be a special one because it was part of Josh's graduation gift. They integrated their yearly summer vacation and part of his graduation gift by giving him the choice of where to go and inviting all of his friends.

His reasoning for picking Disney was apparently that he wanted to get everyone together and feel like a child one last time. And with all of his family and friends there, it would be the ultimate vacation to remember.

I have been sitting in my room for nearly 3 hours trying to pack, but being the procrastinator that I am, I have been looking forward to any sort of distraction. And as if my prayers were answered, I heard a buzz. It was my phone. Better yet, it was Josh.

I'm not really sure what Josh and I were. After the night of his graduation, things changed between us. We never quite put a label on "us" nor did we ever talk about the kiss that night. I friendship pretty much stayed the same, with a few stolen kisses every now and then. It really was complicated. And to make it more complicated, we never told anybody that there was even an "us" to talk about.

Boing😍🙈👅: Hey loser whatcha doing?

Me: well I was trying to find something to distract me from packing...but it looks like I'm just going to have to find something else to do😫

Boing😍🙈👅: you didn't pack yet?! Maya you guys are all supposed to be meeting at my house at 3 am. It's already midnight and if you guys are gonna get here on time that means you're gonna be leaving in like an hour and a half!

Me: But I'm too lazy to pack. Help me😭 Pack for me...PLZZZZZZ

Boing😍🙈👅: As tempting as that offer is, I am an hour and a half away in Philly and quite frankly it doesn't sound like fun haha

Me: pretty please🐶

Boing😍🙈👅: I can't actually pack for you babe, but if you send me pictures of your options I'll help you decide what to bring.

Me: Okay which bathing suit. I need one more and it is between these two.

 I need one more and it is between these two
