Chapter 13: California, again

                       #Callie's P.O.V#
                        *TIME SKIP*
Its June 17, and we're going to California again, for Vidcon this time. We'll be staying in a hotel instead of with Joey, we're leaving today, right now, actually.

I hop put of the car at the airport and walk beside Lizzie and Joel.

'You booked security this time, right?' I look up at Joel.

"I did, just so I knew it would actually get done." Lizzie giggles.

"I would've been able to remember!" Joel objects.

"Mhm!" Lizzie sasses. We walk into the airport.

***TIME SKIP BC REASONS***
We arrive at the hotel, opening the door to our room.

My jaw drops as I walk inside.

"Right?" Lizzie walks in and puts her suitcase by the wall, next to mine and Joel's.

'Who's sleeping where?'

"Okay, you can take this bed," Lizzie motions to one of the beds, closer to the wondow, then continues, "and we'll sleep here, good?" She asks.

I nod, flopping onto my bed.

Lizzie falls onto her bed as well.

"Like mother like daughter." Joel sighs.

Lizzie and I giggle.

Joel walks off to use the bathroom.

'Lizzie?'  I sit up, showing her the board.

"Yeah?" She sits up as well.

'I miss Amelia.' My eyes fill with tears as I fiddle with my ring.

"Awe, don't cry, don't cry, it's okay." Lizzie gets off her bed and walks over to me, tackling me into a hug on the bed.

I hug her back and cry silently. 'I'm sorry.' I write as we come out of the hug.

"For what?" She asks me, pulling away from the hug and putting her hands on my shoulders.

'Everything. The panic attacks, the crying, everything.' I look at the floor.

"Callie, you can't necessarily control those things. It's okay." She hugs me again.

***TIME SKIP 3 DAYS, THE 20TH, VIDCON DAY 1***

I wake up in the hotel bed, and I'm filled with anxiety. Today is Vidcon day 1, and I, for one, have never been there, for two, know that there can be a lot of people, and for three, fans. The fans that hate on me.

I look over to see Lizzie, already awake and dressed, playing on her phone, next to a sleeping Joel.

"Good morning, Callie. You might want to go get dressed, we have to leave soon." She looks over at me.

I point at Joel and give Lizzie a questioning look.

"He doesn't take long to get ready, I'll wake him up when you're almost done." Lizzie explains.

I nod, then I walk off and grab clothes, this being what I decide to wear;

I go to the bathroom and take a quick shower, before changing into my clothes.

I come out of the bathroom once I'm done with everything, including my hair. I decided to leave it in a messy bun.

"You look cute!" Lizzie smiles as I walk out of the bathroom.

I smile, then I look at Joel, who is staring at his phone.

I run up to him and grab it from his hands.

"Hey!" He whines.

I point to the bathroom.

"Fine." He grumbles, standing up to get his clothes.

I look at Lizzie, then we burst into laughter.

"Are you ready?" Lizzie asks Joel as he comes out of the bathroom.

"Yeah. Do you have the passes?" Joel asks Lizzie.

"Yeah, hold on." She stands up and goes to the bedside table and opens it. She throws a pass at me and a pass at Joel, then slips hers around her neck, as do Joel and I, since they're all attached to lanyards.

"Let's goooooo!" Lizzie walks out of the room, Joel and I following close behind.

Soon, we get to the convention center, and my panic sets in. I freeze where I am, which is right outside, along a path, with people scattered here and there.

"Callie, are you okay? Do you need to sit down?" Joel asks.

I nod. We walk over to a bench, and Lizzie sits me down.

"Callie, you can breathe, right?" Joel asks.

I nod.

"Okay, we need to keep it that way. Remember, long, deep breaths, okay?" Joel looks me in the eye.

"Jeez Joel, when did you learn this stuff?" Lizzie asks.

"I Googled it. I thought it would be helpful, since this happens frequently." Joel explains.

"Ah, I see." Lizzie laughs.

"Are you all good?" Joel asks as I start to stand up.

I nod. 'Sorry.'

"Its not your fault, you can't stop it." Joel says as he and Lizzie walk beside me.

I shrug and look down. We continue walking to the entrance, then we wait in line, for what seems like forever, before we get into the main area.
