APRIL 15, 2024

i was awoken to the airbnb bed shaking. "wake up sleepyhead!" anaya practically yelled as she jumped up and down on the bed.

being that i was still half asleep, i blinked a couple of times in attempt to adjust my eyes to the room around me. "god it's so early." i muttered as i sat up.

"mhm, it's 8am, and we have to be out of this airbnb at like..." anaya stopped jumping and looked up at the ceiling, like she was thinking. "8:15." she continued.

"anaya! that's in fifteen minutes!" i yelled.

"i know, so we've gotta move it," she replied as she jumped off of the bed and ran out of the room.

i let out a long moan. "god this is too much." i sighed as i swung my feet over the side of the bed, slowly and carefully getting up from the bed and letting out a long, stretched yawn. my body was aching from the amount of and standing i had done this weekend.

i took a glance at my phone on my bedside table and it hit me, in fifteen minutes we had to evacuate this airbnb...that's when all of a sudden, i got a burst of energy. i rushed to the desk where all of my makeup and other items were laid out, picking them up and quickly putting them away.

quickly after, i made my way to the bathroom where i proceeded to get ready for the day. i took a shower, brushed my teeth, and combed my hair. it wasn't long before i was ready to get out of this airbnb. with my hair down and my outfit on, i walked out into the main area to find my friends.

shay was seated on the couch, her hand over her forehead, raelynn was on her phone smiling while texting someone, anaya was in the middle of a conversation with zoë.

"hey guys i'm ready." i said to them all.

they all looked over at me, they all had tired and exhausted looks on their faces. i couldn't help but grin as i took a look at them. they all seemed so done with everything that happened over the course of the weekend, but i couldn't blame them, it was really eventful and tiring for all of us.

"lets get going guys." zoë said as she grabbed her bags and started to walk towards the front door, with all of us following.

soon after loading zoë's 4runner, she began driving. the entire drive back was quite uncomfortable. i don't know if it was the fact that raelynn was still texting, anaya had fallen asleep which caused her to let out snores, or shay's annoyed groans as she was hungover.

but, my mind was literally only focused on one thing at that moment. i couldn't help but think of dominic, and what the next time we'll be able to see each other again. for some reason, i couldn't stop thinking of him and how perfect he was. i just needed to see him one more time, and that's when my phone buzzed.
