dt: each and every one of my readers who take the time out of their day to read my shitty books. also, the sweetest people ever, Shipallthewaygirl Kenzwhitnnie and brianna_brianna06

also, i dedicate this to the silent readers. the ones who don't comment but vote on almost every chapter. i appreciate those votes, because each one helps me get to a goal. the ones i can think of off the top of my head are @oreosaremybffs @fernanallamass and strangerzieglers . all of them read this story but don't comment (that's perfectly fine!) but vote. all those votes are really appreciated! thanks for reading this long ass dedication paragraph 💘💘

"did you eat the last of the oreos?" i yell to johnny, who's currently watching a football game on tv.

"yeah." he says.

"thanks for telling me." i say when i walk into the living room.

"i forgot." he says.

"well, now we both get no oreos. and it's all your fault." i tell him.

"oh! guess what! i have a surprise!" johnny says, standing up.

"what?" i ask, following him.

"this!" he says, handing me two tickets to disneyland.

"really?" i squeal.

"yep." he says.

"when are we going?" i ask.

"tomorrow." he says.

"oh, and lauren, brynn, and maddie are coming." he tells me.

"seriously?" i say.

"yes." he says.

"why? it's not my birthday, your birthday, or anyone else that i know's birthday." i say.

"i felt like it would be a break from working." he says.

"oh, okay." i say.

by now, we both have jobs. i work as an interior designer, and johnny gives music lessons to kids. we both make an adequate amount of money.

"i'm going to go pack." i say.

i walk to the bedroom that i store all my clothes and makeup in and grab a suitcase. basically, i pack like anyone would when they go on a trip.

"i haven't been in california since i was 16." i say to johnny as we walk out of the airport.

"that was a whole 5 years ago." johnny says.

"we're so old now." i say.

"i know. remember when we ran around outside because of insomnia?" he asks.

"johnny, that still happens." i say.

"oh yeah." he says.

"you're so dumb!" i laugh.

"no i'm not!" he yells, picking me up.

"stop! put me down!" i yell at him.

"i'm too dumb to understand what that means." he says.
