NARRATOR POV

Thanksgiving was tomorrow and Dakota was missing her dad. Years ago, he'd left the Cali life behind and moved to Vegas to permanently 'get away'. Her dad was her bestfriend and she visited him from time to time, sometimes via plane or road trip.

"Alright Dad, see you in a few hours, love you", Dakota said smiling at him through facetime, before wrapping the convo up and hanging up.

Dakota was also a bit nervous because this would be Ethan and Jacob's first time meeting Kota's dad in real life. They'd said hi's and bye's through facetime and text but never a real interaction. Raquel and Dakota's dad got along perfectly fine, he even refers to her as his other child.

"Yall got ya shit ready?" Dakota asked the other 3 as she zipped up her duffel bag full of clothes.

Raquel nodded and Ethan and Jake double checked their shit, making sure they had everything they needed.

They loaded into the car, and prepared for the 4 hours ahead of them. They'd agree to do 1 hour apiece, dividing the time evenly. It was already 8 o'clock so they knew they'd arrive late. They'd slept the whole day prior to this, just so they'd be well rested.

"Raquel, we need to hit up that gas station, we need more snacks", Ethan stated, everybody else agreeing.

Raquel pulled into the gas station, everybody hopping out.

"Quel take a picture of me real quick."

Kota handed Raquel her phone and began posing. Raquel took hella flicks and gave Kota her phone back.

"Bet. Thank you bitch."

Quel nodded and they both walked into the gas station, immediately seeing the snacks they wanted.
