"Ugh, I can't believe we leave tomorrow. We have to come back."

"Most def.."

"Same, never a dull moment with you two dummies." I walked towards the freezer aisle in Walmart. I picked up a small pint of Pistachio Ice-cream, I pray that it didn't melt before we reached the beach. It was our last full day here and we'd be spending it in the water. Yesterday, we went to a few amusement parks and the day before we did a little shopping in a few of their Outdoor Malls.

"Y'all got anymore sunscreen?" Taylor asked as we approached self-checkout. I shook my head no and Dani told her that she ran out yesterday.

"Ima go get some" Dani rang up the items as I bagged them. I switched off the playlist I was listening to and placed my phone and earphones into my back-pocket. 

"Here" Taylor handed the sunscreen to me after she checked it out. We paid, got our groceries and made our way to the rental.

"To the beach we gooooo.." Taylor yelled sticking her head out of the passenger window. I pressed brakes enough for the car to jerk a bit and of course she exaggerated by faking to drop out.

"I outta slap the hell out of you. I could've died lil hoe." Me and Dani were laughing at her as she continued ranting.

"Snapchat, tell me why this big faced hoe decided that it was okay to jerk the car while I was sticking my head out. 20 screenshots and I'll slap her."

I leaned over into the view of the camera. "Make it 50 and I'll slit her throat." I faked smiled and put my attention back to the road.

"You disrespectful bro."

I turned up the radio to drown her out.

"Ouu sis, cut it up girl that's Ne-Yo." Dani leaned forward and turned the radio up for herself.

It's ridiculous. It's been months but for some reason I just can't get over us.

And I'm stronger than this, enough is enough. No more walking roun' with my head down, I'm so over being blue and I crying over you.

And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears. So done with wishing you were still here, said I'm so sick of Love songs. So sad and slow, so why can't I turn off the radio?

Gatta fix that calendar I have, that's marked July 15th, because since there's no more you there's no more anniversary.
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memories and now every song reminds me of what used to be.

That's the reason I'm...And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears. So done with wishing you were still here, said I'm so sick of Love songs. So sad and slow, so why can't I turn off the radio?

I noticed that they both were recording me.

"Leave me aloneee, stupidddd love songss." I belted out tapping the wheel in the process. They both were laughing hard as hell, Dani even had tears in her eyes.

"Why y'all laughing so hard?"

"Cus, you singing like you got yo heart broke or sumn."

"Right like tf? Wasn't you just cakin' on the phone?" Dani screamed and leaned back in the seat.

"Don't do me. Y'all know I love me some good R&B. They barely play good songs on the radio now." I looked into my rear view at Dani watching the video again and laughing all over again.
