Traffic at the Pier

Chapter 5

AVA

I get out of the bathroom with my pajamas on and pass a t-shirt and shorts to Carla for her wear

"Do you think.." I interrupt her before she can finish

"No, Vanessa isn't that type of person" she sits back and that gives away that I was right about what she was asking

My phone goes off

*Hey* the message reads

*hi, who is this?*

*Luke, i asked for your number earlier*

*oh*

*hi, my name is Ava* i send right after

*thats a pretty cute name, it suits you*

*thanks :)*

"Who are you texting?" Carla asks me with a confused grin, she would think it's either Vanessa or my dad, and my dad would be asleep by now. She has serious trust issues since the incident, so she hates when Vanessa and I text outside of our group chat.

"Luke"

With a big grin she says"Who's that?" Before I can even talk she says "Are you talking to someone and didn't tell me!?, oh god who is it!?"

She stays still while looking at me waiting to awnser her "Luke is the guy at the pier"

She clicks her tongue showing that she hoped for someone that I actually liked

"I still wanna know why, just why for "revenge" girl your not in middle school anymore that's just straight up stupid" I want to say "well I don't care" but Instead i decide to say something else, that would be better since her lack of sense of humor "well yolo right"

She drops her phone on the bed and cover her face as if she was embarrassed by me or disappointed...maybe both

I text with Luke for some more time and we end up planning a date for Thursday. Not long after that I drift off to sleep
.....

My dad was running in a beautiful pink dress inside the plane, a flight attendant tried to stop him from jumping he turned back and said
"For America" as he jumped in the air his dress did the job that a para shoot would do.

He reminds me of Mary Popinns but change the umbrella with a pink dress.

He landed home and called out for my name
"Ava!, I gotta tell you something"

"What I asked him in a rush"

"Two years ago I..."

"Wake up" Carla startles me awake, I look around confused on what I was doing

"I'm awake" I say. I get dressed and brush my teeth and head to Carla's room since Vanessa never told us what happened.

"Hello! Vanessa are you alive!?" I scream while knocking on the door

I bang even harder for what seems forever and Vanessa opens the door

"Damn let me sleep for gods sake" she rolls her eyes even though it's twelve am. I walk inside and sit on a chair by the window,
I look out the window and notice that the sky is cloudy today and almost no people are at the beach or pool.

Carla starts to press our friend to tell us about the date "tell us, I didn't share a bed with Ava for nothing, you know she snores in her sleep"

"Dude can you like stop, I don't snore"

Carla and Ava both scream at me at the exact same time "yes you do!"I grab a water bottle that is sat right next to me and throw it at them

"Oh no, that hurt call 911 I'm bleeding!" They exaggerate and keep laughing I roll my eyes and decide to look at the tv, beauty and the beast is on playing, the dress that Belle is wearing reminds me of something, the dream, the dream I had last night! Oh god, oh I remember

"Guys I had another dream last night"

"What was this one about?"Carla ask

"Well in the beginning it was my dad with a pink princess dress, inside an airplane and then he jumped...and the dress worked as a para shoot in a way it reminded me of Mary poppins, he landed in our house and came to tell me something but then Carla woke me up"
I'm surprised how short it was and that I didn't have multiple dreams, maybe it's because I was in a different bed or something. But it was also very simple other dreams have like twenty different people and is in multiple different places plus different story lines that come up all together at once

"Hello? Earth to Ava"Carla adds, I notice that I have been staring at the tv for a few seconds
"What?"

...

The rest of the week goes by quickly and it's finally time for my date with Luke, I put on a red dress that somehow reminds me of Italy even though i have never been there, I put on some makeup not much just mascara and some lipgloss along with hilighter and a tiny bit of blush "damn the ocean water has been great on my skin it looks like a baby's butt" I usually have som pimples here and there along with scars in my face but honestly I'm living for this clear skin thing

"Me too" Vanessa comes in the room with a yellow strapless dress with flowers on it. "Isn't that Carla's dress?" I ask her

"She doesn't need to know that" she says and Carla calls at us from the room

"Which one of you has my dress!?"

"You're on your own" I say to Vanessa before I leave the bathroom into to bedroom

I grab my purse and look at the time it's seven fifteen I have to meet him in the lobby by seven twenty "Well Imma get going see you guys by eleven..?"

Carla says "bye" at the same time Vanessa says "don't bother to come back if you lose your virginity...we need a Virgin for the ritual" I laugh and Carla stays with wide eyes not understanding her joke

"Please give her a sense of humor lesson while I'm gone" I say and close the door behind me.
