LINDSAY'S POV (a few days later)
I woke up in my room at the hotel around four in the afternoon, about four hours after we arrived in San Diego. My dad was in the next room over, probably sleeping like I was. Dad had thought it would be best if we had separate rooms, seeing as how 'I was an adult and I don't need to be watched anymore.' I, of course, agreed to the plan, and happily accepted the fact that I would have my own room.
I rolled over on my back and stretched, then got up and went out onto the balcony, which looked over a most fantastic view of San Diego. I leaned on the balcony wall and looked around at all the people and cars down below, taking in the familiar warm air of the city. For some reason, looking down at those tiny little people below me gave me some sort of powerful feeling, made me feel superior to them. I smiled at the thought and went back inside my room and turned on the tv.
After about an hour of watching tv, there was a knock at my door. I went to the door, opened it, and saw Dad standing there, waiting to come in.
"Good afternoon! D'you go outside yet?" Dad came in and sat in the chair near the sliding doors.
"Yes I did. It's beautiful out there."
"Indeed it is. You plan on getting together with Jhonathan today?"
"More than likely. I just need to call him."
"Alright, well I'll leave you to do that then. Mike's picking me up in about an hour."
"Have fun with that."
"Oh I will. I'll talk to you later, okay?" Dad walked over to me and kissed my cheek before walking out of the room.
I grabbed my phone and dialed Jhonathan's number, and waited for him to answer. Sadly, I only got his answering machine. I tried calling him another five times before giving up completely. I decided to go take a shower and see if he'll call me while I'm gone; that's how it usually worked for me anyways.
I grabbed my black shorts and my blue Pierce the Veil t-shirt and went into the bathroom to shower. After my shower was done, I got dressed and came out to check my phone. Thankfully, I had three missed calls, all from Jhonathan. I dialed his number and patiently waited for him to answer.
"Hey! I was wondering when you would call me back," Jhonathan said excitedly when he picked up.
"Yeah, I tried calling you like five times."
"Oh yeah, sorry about that, I was in the shower."
"Hey, I was too! I just got out, actually."
"Well whattaya know!"
"Hahaha! So I'm in town, wanna get together tonight?"
"Hell yeah! How about I pick you up in an hour? We'll go out for dinner, get some shopping done, walk around the city."
"Sounds great to me! You know where the Hotel Manchester is?"
"Do I know where it is? Girl, I've lived here for three years. I know where everything is!"
"Well aren't you cool."
"Uh, the coolest. Let me finish getting ready, and I'll be off."
"Okay, sounds good."
"I'll see you in an hour! Text you when I get there! Bye!"
"See ya!" I hung up the phone and put it in my pocket, then grabbed my hair dryer out of my bag and dried my hair. Once I was done with that, I put on my infamous black beanie, and went back onto the balcony. I sat down in one of the chairs and watched the sky slowly darken while I waited for Jhonathan.
