chapter twenty two ; plan

Olivia

I smiled to myself as I read our messages over and over again that night. Is it bad that I'm giggling like a crazy woman right now?

Ivy : Now shush I'm exploring Seattle with my fam. <3

I read.

Then the next message made my legs all jelly and my heart fuzzy inside. I don't know what's up with that.

Z : Ok I miss u.

When I saw that pop up on my screen a while ago, I yelped, making my parents raise their eyebrows at me. I just sheepishly smiled at them and continued walking, still looking down at my phone. They kept glancing over to me suspiciously while I grinned at them.

At first, I thought he was mad at me when he didn't reply for hours. I was confused. What could he be mad about, though? It turns out he wasn't and he apparently misses me.

I replied to that truthfully.

Ivy : I miss u moarrrrr Zachary Graser10CPMCYTPOP

Of course I missed him more. I couldn't live without hearing his voice, if it wasn't noticeable yet. I was a fangirl. I am a fangirl. What do you expect?

Feeling inspired to write some fluff, I exited Kik and went to the Wattpad app to try and update my fanfic.

I finished about two hours later, deciding that it was good enough. I realized that I haven't updated in a week so I just published it right away. Even though I was frien - acquaintances with the Cube members, I still would not neglect my fangirl duties. After all, this was what brought me to this point in my life. I don't wanna be that person who gets blinded by 'fame' or something...

Like usual, I tweeted out that I've updated.

@OwlIvy : Yo. Chapter 32! (Link here.)

@OwlIvy YES!!!!!!! FINALLY LIV LIV HOLY SHIT DUDE I WAS DYING WITHOUT THIS

@OwlIvy wtf u make fanfics?

@OwlIvy Didn't think you'd ever write any more after being friends with them, tbh. .-. Glad you are! <3

I chuckled, especially at the second one. I'm guessing she's new here...

I set down my phone to finally get a good night's rest. I have a long day of packing ahead of me tomorrow...

When I was about a fourth away from falling asleep, my phone just casually let out a sound. I groaned, swiping it from the bedside table. Really? I was so close!

After I swiped it up to open it, Twitter was the first one to appear. And on the top of my timeline was a mention from Graser. Being only half awake, I wondered what in the world would he be tweeting me for.

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy Great! Something to read when I'm bored!

What even is this...

@OwlIvy : @Graser10 Pls don't. It's gonna be awkward, don't you think?

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy Why? Is it a Graser10 ff? ;D

@OwlIvy : @Graser10 ...I'm trying to sleep. -_- zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy Sleep is for the weak, Ivy!!! :D :D :D

@OwlIvy : @Graser10 Turned notifs off, muted, unfollowed, blocked, reported.

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy NO I LOVE U TODAY!!!

@OwlIvy : @Graser10 I don't cuz u won't let me sleep. :(

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy IF I SHUT UP WILL U LOVE ME BACK??

@OwlIvy : @Graser10 sure bud

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy I've zipped my mouth. Now love me. :D <3

@OwlIvy : @Graser10 I love you now. Good night! <3

@Graser10 : @OwlIvy Love u. Dream about me! xoxo ;)

And with that, I fell into oblivion.

 

"Mom..." I groaned from the back seat, throwing my head back. "Are we there yet?"

"Not yet, Ols. Just a bit more."

"Not really... It's still an hour..."

When I woke up yesterday morning, I quickly took a shower and packed up all my belongings. We already had to bring all our stuff down at the lobby since out checkout was at three and we were leaving in the evening. Today, we just killed our feet by going shopping. We arrived back at the hotel and hurried away since we might be late for the airport. We weren't, luckily. We finished everything in time for the plane to take off. We arrived back in Canada at five thirty in the morning and are now heading back home.

Dad looked back at me and shot me an amused look. "Don't worry, sweets. It'll all be worth the wait when we get home." He smirked.

I got confused. Obviously it'll be worth it. I'll have my computer back, I can sleep on my own bed, be as loud as I can and all that.

Something tells me that they planned something and I'm completely unaware about it... Just as I was thinking that, I received a Kik message from the one and only Zachary.

♔

Zach

The sound of my alarm blasted through my phone's speakers, making me jolt up from the bed. Today's the day I see Olivia again after two days without her face. I'm so excited.

I immediately texted her.

Z : U in our own land yet?

Ivy : Tf do u mean?

Z : Are u in Canada? :P

Ivy : Yes, bud. Why do u ask?

Z : No reason! :D

Ivy : Mhmm... Sure... T-T

I didn't bother replying after that, I just had a quick bath and got ready. I had half an hour to spare before Olivia got to her house. I passed by the Joint and took out some pizza. The employees there were confused. Me? Taking out pizza? They never thought the day would come! It was either a dine in or delivery. I've never taken out food from here.

After that's been over with, I walked to her house, which wasn't too far away from mine. Just a few streets and turns away and I was finally there. I got their 'hidden' house key – which her dad told me about after some interrogation – and opened the door. I set down the pizza on the table that can be seen right in front of the door and waited.

They should be here in a few minutes.

Olivia's dad informed me that I could watch television while waiting. That way, when she comes through the door, she'd get freaked out by the sounds coming from the living room. I went through with his suggestion, wanting to see Olivia's reaction as well. Her dad's such a funny guy, maybe he's even funnier than me. Cause I'm not funny... and everyone's more hilarious than me, so it makes sense, right?

I heard a beep right when I got to a decent channel. I didn't know where to go to. I don't want TV, okay? I turned the volume down, in time to hear the click of a lock. Here it goes...
