"I was thinking of taking you to breakfast, and then go in some rides," Nic tells me. We just got to Magic Kingdom this morning, and we are going to a nearby café.
"That sounds great!" I reply back, then take my phone out to take a selfie. Typical Beth. We keep walking around, not ready for rides until later in the day.
"Hey, that looks like a cute place to eat!" Nic points towards a small little shop.
"Perfect! Let's go," I smile. We walk into the building, the smell of coffee interfering with the muffins. Me and Nic walk up to the counter, reading the menu.
"Hello, could I get a tall peppermint hot coco?" I ask the waiter, not wanting caffeine.
"Yes I can, and you sir?" The man asks, his name tag saying Herald.
"I would like a plain coffee, thanks," Nic replies.
We head to a table, and I hear my phone buzz. "Hello?" I answer, irritated.
"Hi Winter! It's Bethany, I should probably be asleep but I wanted to see how you're doing!" Bethany half whispers into her phone.
"I am doing really good, me and Nic are at a little café in Magic Kingdom," I tell Bethany. "But I should probably get going, we are having a little bit of a busy day."
"Oh yeah! I totally get it, we'll talk soon! Bye!" Bethany says again. I put my phone away and apologize to Nic.
"No problem Winter!" Nic says apologetically. "Hey you know who I haven't heard you talk about lately?"
"Who?"
"Winifred!"
"Well we kinda had a fight, and I have not talked to her since," I tell Nic.
"Me and her talk sometimes, walking last each other in the park, and she really misses you!" Nic exclaims.
"Okay Nic! I get it! How about I call her now?!" I shout.
"No that wasn't what I meant!" Nic protests. My phone is already ringing.
"Hey Winifred! It's Winter," I talk into my iphone. "I just wanted to say sorry about that fight we had a few weeks ago. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course Winter! I am sorry to, can't wait till you get back!" The sound of her accent makes me smile.
"Bye Wini!"
"Bye Winter!"
"There are you happy?" I ask Nic, then excuse myself for the restroom.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!" I shriek as the roller coaster takes us upside down. I grab Nics hand and feel him flinch, I let go.
"No it's okay!" I hear him shout over the screams. I grab his hand again. The roller coaster slows to a stop.
"That was crazy!" I exclaim, running my hands through my hair.
"Yeah, it was!" Nic replies, then runs his stomach. "Let's go get lunch!"
"You can, I am going to check out some other places," I reply guiltily.
"That's cool, I will meet you around 1:00?" Nic says, clearly okay with the idea.
"Thanks! See you then!" I thank him. He walks off in the opposite direction of me. I had to have a little break,
I go towards a nearby bench, and sit down. I pull my sketchbook from my backpack, I have not used my notebook in a while. Most of the pages are filled with designs from when I was making clothes for Forever21.
I toss it in the trashcan, not wanting those memories.


I have been on this bench for an hour, and I see Nic coming.
"Are you ready to go back!" He asks.
"Yeah," I answer.
