25. Parking Lot

So, I've decided on an Aaron! His name is Jassa Ahluwalia :)

G R A Y | POV

I wish I could say that after we picked up the lights from the hardware store, we had a nice dinner with Uncle Robbie at Addison's house. I wish I could say that the weather was wonderful and we got home with no problems. I wish I could say that I love my piece of junk truck.

Yeah, I can't.

Last night, while we were shopping, the light rain that had started on our trip over, turned into an absolute downpour. Addy had left her jacket in the truck because there was a five minute pause in the rain when we were walking in, so we thought it stopped. Yeah, it didnt. So we didn't have any sort of protection and figured eh we'll be fine. We ran to the truck and when I went to get my keys from my pocket to unlock the passenger door, they weren't there. So, we all stood outside in the pouring rain, checking our pockets for my keys, only to find out that I accidentally locked them inside.

My dad keeps the spare key with him and I was pretty sure they were home so I called him so he could come drop them off, but he said it'd be about ten minutes before he'd be where we were. I decided to throw the lights in the toolbox, because the lock on that broke last year. When I opened up the box, I saw the umbrella that Addy forced me to keep in there for emergencies (yeah I've never used it), and figured I'd get it out and use it so Aaron and I don't get pneumonia. Easy enough, right? NOPE.

I pop open the umbrella and of course, there's a spider inside and it jumped Addison. So Addy starts freaking out, until it starts to crawl down her arm to where she could flick it off and crush it.

And crush it she did.

So, with the umbrella up, I quickly come to the conclusion that it definitely wasn't big enough. We came up with what seemed to be the best solution for the time which was Addison holding it up in the middle facing me, with Aaron behind her. We had our arms around her and onto each others' and all of our feet were touching.

We stood like that until my dad pulled up in my mom's car. When he rolled the window down, he was dying laughing. Well, I thought he thought our predicament was funny so I rolled my eyes.

"Dad, I bet you'd have done the same thing," I said. He kept on laughing.

"No genius I'd have waited inside the damn store!" He yelled, pointing at the building. We all just stood there soaking in the realization.

Gray you're such an idiot.
