Forever and Always

Chapter 2: Heading to Atlanta

The next day you were SUPER excited that it was the first day of Summer Vacay! Well you were super excited until you remembered about Justin leaving you. You forgot to turn off your alarm clock the night before, so it was 6:17 in the morning. You wanted to say goodbye, so you quickly got dressed, brushed your teeth, did your hair in a messy bun, ate breakfast, got your phone, and called Justin. He wouldn't pick up, so you decided to take the spare key that he gave you, and ride your bike over to his house. Once you got there, you slipped the key into the lock, and, you were in. You quietly tiptoed up to his room, pushed the door open, and walked over to his bed.

"Justin," you whispered. He wouldn't wake up. "Justin," you said a bit louder while shaking him lightly.

"7:30 already?", he moaned in his sleep.

"No, 6:45," you said while looking at the watch he got you for your 9th b-day.

"What?!?! I thought you were getting me up at 7:30!"

"No Justin, it's me, Faye."

"Huh? Faye? What are you doing here, and so early?"

"Well, I-...I thought you'd be up already. Sorry that I woke you."

"It's okay. But, still, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I had come to say goodbye."

"What? Faye, c'mon, you really don't think that I would say goodbye? Plus I had a suprize for you." By now he was sitting up, and I was just staring right into those dark hazel, but not quite brown eyes. God, help me. Give this boy some sort of signal to either put a shirt on, or pull the covers up. With beautiful eyes, his hair cut to perfection, and that beautiful upper-body, I got caught up in him and tuned out to whatever he was saying.

"So do you want to?"

"I-I'm sorry, Justin. What'd you say?"

"I said, we we're gonna invite you guys and some of my mom's other friends and kids over. So, did you wanna come?"

"Oh, yes of course. How silly of me to think that you wouldn't even say goodbye to your best friend?! What time is it? the "party" I mean."

"8:30, since our flight leaves at 9:30."

"Okay. I'll wake up my mom at 7:30, and...try to get some more sleep. Okay? Sorry about waking you up."

"No-pr-o-br-o-la-mo." That was what Justin and I had started saying when we were in 3rd grade as our way of saying "No problem."

"KK, Bye."

"Bye."

Justin's P.O.V.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. Ugh, I hate my stupid alarm clock. I heard some rustling coming from the kitchen, and a beautiful aroma followed. MMM...bacon and lemon flavored pancakes with chocolate chips in them. Yup! I'm cool like that! I threw on my ninja turtle pajama pants, and my phineas and Ferb socks and headed down stairs. "Whatcha makin'?," I asked even though I already knew the answer 2 my question.

"Slugs with a side of alien brains. Now wheres my "good-morning hug?" My mom asked playfully, and so I gave it to her. As she put my food on a plate and handed it to me, I couldn't help feeling like seeing Faye at...what time was it again? 6:45 or something like that, was just a dream. But if it was, then that meant...SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PARTY! And that's exactly why I DIDN'T want it to be a dream. After I gobbled down my food, I went back up stairs to my room and tried calling Faye. 1st time......no answer. 2nd time......No answer. 3rd time, about half-way through the ringing, somebody that sounded like Faye picked up.

"Sup J-Jaye?"

"Sup Faye?"

"Nothing much. I'm just getting ready for the party. You?"

"Just the same. I was basically just calling though to make sure that it wasn't all just a dream. But..Uh...I guess it wasn't.."

"Yeah, well, uh, I gotta go now, I'll see you later. Bye."

"Bye." And with that I hung up.
