The Trip (Brent Rivera)

**Brent isn't going to come in until the 5th chapter or so so please be patient and enjoy :)**

~~

"Sweetie, come down here!! please!" my mom yelled upstairs. I didn't listen. I am so mad at her right now it is not even funny.

"No! I'm not coming! I'm not going to L.A. and I'm not coming downstairs! there is no way for you to make me!!" I screamed. I have never been so mad before.

~~ One week ago ~~

"Alexandria, if you could have anything in the world, or go anywhere in the world, where or what would you do??" my mom asked. which I found odd. We've never really been super close. but I guess that means she's trying.

"Umm...I don't know. I want to meet Brent Rivera I guess?"

"Who is this Brent character?"

"He is a famous Viner. Kind of a big deal. he makes relatable vines, he is super nice and super funny. he lives in L.A."

"Oh...whats vine?"

"Oh my gosh mom!" I chuckled at her cluelessness.

"Well are you gonna tell me?!"

"It's an app where you make 6 second videos on a loop."

"Oh that makes sense! Took you long enough to tell me," she nudged me playfully. "Say can you show me some of this boy's vines? or photos??" she said with a smirk on her face. I rolled my eyes in response but showed her some vines, knowing them by heart.

"Oh yea Brent's been a handful lately," I said as did Brent on the recording "WHAT? WHY DONT YOU TELL THAT TO MY FACE?" "Hold on,.....shut up." My mom and I start absolutely cracking up. we couldn't handle it. I guess you could say we bonded over him.

~~This Morning~~

"Alex! I have some very exciting news!" I heard my mom call from downstairs. "why is she yelling for me to wake up at 5 a.m?" I thought to myself.

I tried to pretend not to hear her, but she knew me too well. Ever since I showed her Brent, we have been best friends. She came running upstairs and jumped on my bed. "What the heck!?" Why is she acting like a 7 year old on Christmas morning? "Come downstairs this very second!!" "Ok, ok, but I better get a lot of food after you show me what you need to."

"Fine anything as long as you come downstairs!"

God what is she so excited about? I got up half awake and walked downstairs like a zombie. My mom dragged me too the computer where I see my Aunt Betty on FaceTime with a huge grin on her face. I totally forgot she had moved to L.A.

"Hey Alex! How are you?"

"Tired and hungry" I told her. She smiled understanding how I feel and chuckled.

"Ok, so do you want to know why you are awake so early?" my mom asks. I nod yawning in response. Then Aunt Betty finally told me.....

"Alex, would you like to come live in L.A. for a month? We could meet Brent together. Your mother here already has everything set up. she said all you want to do is meet Brent Rivera." she teased.

I stood there for a long time in shock.

I don't know.
