Plan B

Day date

My alarm goes off waking me up, feeling around for my phone I turn off the alarm and rub my eyes. The thought of what today was wakes me up instantly. I rush to get ready. Taking a shower and doing all the necessary things I walk back into my room with only a towel around my body and hair.

I take out a black romper that had a second flowy layer for the top and throw it on. I pair my romper with some white converse. I go back into the bathroom to blow dry my hair and curl it.

"Why are you getting all dressed up for?" My mom says as she leans on the door way of my bathroom.

"I'm going over to Luna's for the week, she said we were going to go somewhere and I should get pretty." I said as calmly as possible to make it believable.

"Well you're already pretty hun." She gushes smiling a bit.

"Thanks mom." She pats my back softly as I curl my hair before she turns to walk away.

Half and hour later I'm done with one section, two more to go. I hate having long hair some times.

-

The ring tone for Elijah plays loudly from my bedroom. "Shit,shit,shit." I mumble trying to hurry up and finish the last curl without burning myself.

Just before the ringing stopped I answered the call. "Hey sorry it took so long for me to answer I was curling my hair." I say before he had the chance to say hi.

"That's okay, I'll be there in a few minutes do you want me to pick you up in front of your house?"

"Um down the street is fine." I say quietly.

"Okay, I'll see you soon." My heart picks up the pace and we hang up.

I turn off the curling iron and make sure my makeup is done well and I have all my things together.

Grabbing my purse and my giant backpack I tell my mom I'm leaving and head out the door before she had the chance to come out of the door.

I walk down my street seeing Elijah's car driving and then stops right by me.
His eyebrow come together in confusion at my bags.

"My sister is going to pick me up after our date, that's why I have this giant thing." I say getting in the car and throwing my backpack in the backseat.

"Ah okay. You look beautiful by the way." He smiles making my heart skip a beat. I lean over the middle console and give him a kiss before sitting back down and buckling up.

He starts driving on the freeway holding my hand the entire time.

"So where are we going?" I ask earning a smirk from him.

"You'll see." Is all the information he gives me.

I take a look at his outfit; a light blue button up with the top three undone, dark blue jeans and his normal dress shoes that aren't that fancy.

With that outfit we could be going anywhere!

With my hand that's free I turn the radio on and listen to the top hits singing the songs I know.

"We're almost there." He says as we pass a sign.

The name is familiar, my family and I used to come here to go to the beach when I was little.
The memories weighs my heart down, knowing I don't have the same loving family I used to have.

"Is there something wrong?" Elijah asks glancing at me.

"This is the city that my family and I used to go to when I was little, it makes me sad because we don't do family things anymore." I say holding back the emotion.

"Why not?" He asks sounding interested.

"When my parents found out my sister was gay, they disowned her and my family started falling apart. Most of my extended family on my moms side stopped talking to us. The ones on my dads side we never really knew anyways, and my parents starting fighting all the time." I say trying to keep it short as possible.

"Wow, I'm really sorry you have to deal with that babe, I know I'm not really any help to your situation but you're getting to see your sister today, you know she loves you and you can still see her." His words are comforting.

"Yeah I know but to see her I have to lie to my parents, they think she'll turn me gay, they don't even know Luna is gay, otherwise I would never be able to see my best friend again." I say getting even more into my feelings.

"Luna is not their problem, and your friendship with her shouldn't be affected just because she isn't straight, you know who you are and what you like, only you could change those things."

"You're right, Thanks for helping me." I say caressing his hand with my thumb.

"You're welcome love, by the way we're here." He says pulling into a parking lot.

"How did you know I liked rollercoasters?!" I say excitedly as I look at the sign reading 'six flags.'

"I guessed, good thing I guessed right otherwise this would have been an epic fail." He chuckles.

"I'm so glad I wore good shoes." I laugh.

We get out of the car and I take out my wallet and phone leaving the rest and hiding my purse under the seat.

I stick my small wallet and my phone in my pocket and take Elijah's hand as we wait for the bus to take us to the front of the amusement park.

It takes about 20 minutes to actually get into the park and we head to our first ride. While we wait in line I braid my curled hair And tie it off with the hair tie I carry on my wrist. When I'm done Elijah wraps his arms around my waist and rests his head on my should kissing my cheek.
