CHAP 37: VACATION (TRIS POV)
AN: Hey Ravens! Thanks for the favorites, followers, and reviews, it meant a lot and thanks for the advice! Also I messed up, first live concert is in the next chapter this is their tour. Enjoy! :)
"Ahhhh!" I shoot up in bed completely stunned
"Christina what's wrong?" I ask concerned getting out of bed
"We're going on tour!" Christina screams throwing her hands in the air.
"Why do you worry me like that?" I ask, placing my hand over my heart trying to calm down
"It's fun! Now hurry up and get dressed we need to be in the air port in exactly two hours." Christina says pushing me in the bathroom and throwing me a pile of clothes.
"Two hours and 15 minutes." I mutter, and yes I've been counting down. I mean come on we're going to California!
I quickly brush my teeth, wash my face, and put on the outfit. It's black shorts and a grey crop top that has our signature Raven design on it.
"Open!" Christina shouts, I do and she hands me the, oh so famous, Raven necklace and bracelet. I've got to hand to her she's been going all out with merchandise. I don't know how she does it but it's great. I slip them on while on the way out of the bathroom.
"Should I flat iron or brush?" I ask Christina, I just cut my hair since summer is starting so it's right above my shoulders again. Except this time it's layered, but there's still red highlights.
"Flat iron, you make it work." Christina says, I nod plugging in the flat iron doing a natural shade of makeup while it warms up
"I'm ready, how about you?" I ask Christina, putting on black converse and putting my luggage on top of the bed making sure everything is in order.
"Ready." Christina says putting her luggage on the floor and pulling up the handle.
"Here we come California!" Christina and I yell leaving the apartment. I lock it and follow her out. By the time I catch up she's already called a taxi.
"Where are we going today ladies?" The taxi driver asks
"Airport." Christina and I say in unison he chuckles starting the drive. The entire time Christina and I can not stop acting giddy. We eventually end up singing along to the radio.
"On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain"
"Alright girls, here we are! Have fun and stay safe out there." The taxi driver tells us pulling up in front of the airport.
"We will thank you." Christina and I call out getting our stuff since we paid him before we got in the taxi car.
"Tris! Christina!" It's Tori she waves us over so Christina and follow her inside passports and tickets in hand.
"Hey Tori!" I say giving her a hug
"Hey, so you two are the last ones. I suggest you hurry up and get your ass in the plane now! Run run run!" Tori shouts pushing us forward, we laugh and quickly get checked before boarding the plane
"Guess who?" I ask, putting my hands over Tobias's eyes from behind him
"Better not be Zeke or you will hurt you." Tobias says
"Not fair I'm way over here!" Zeke calls I laugh taking my hands away and sitting in the seat next to Tobias
"You look confused, and thank you." I say taking a bag of peanuts from the lady that just walked by
"Picking a movie is very difficult!" Tobias says still scrolling
"Are you sure it's that? Maybe you just don't want to go anywhere higher than your own head." Charlie whispers turning around in her seat
"Shut up." Tobias hisses at her
"What? I can't believe you even agreed to this. I literally thought you were gonna drive there, and meet us in a couple of days." Charlie whispers back
"Actually I made him promise to come." I tell her
"How'd you manage that?" She asks a little bit in awe
"I said I didn't really trust Zeke and Uriah on a plane by myself." I tell her, she nods in understanding
"Tobias this is not that hard!" Charlie says craning her neck so she can better see whatever movies Tobias is still trying to find
"Of for gods sake give me that!" I say, I take the remote scroll once and pick Avatar "And that's how it's done." I say mischievously handing Tobias the remote. He sighs taking it
"I love our friends." Charlie says laughing at the hand bag that landed on Uriah after falling out of the compartment that it usually goes in
"This is not funny!" Uriah wheezes under the weight of the bag
"Everyone please take your seats we will be taking off in five four three two one, lift off!" The captain says into the speaker as the plane starts moving
"Okay?" I ask squeezing Tobias's hand reassuringly. He swallows closing his eyes "Are you humming Metallica?" I ask
"It calls me down." Tobias says finger tips turning white from where he's gripping the seat
"Right..." I say turning to Avatar playing on the screen. Awesomest movie just saying
Tobias calms down a little while later. I end up watching Ultraviolet and The Matrix (also awesome!) Before I fall asleep on Tobias's shoulder the rest of the ride.
"Okay, plane ride is over, but stay calm. Oh and welcome to California." The pilot says over the speaker before the doors open we all pile out excited
"Okay come on hotel is this way." Tori says getting into the big truck already stationed here for us. We all get in except for Tobias
"What?" I ask, Tobias gets on his knees and kisses the floor
"Sweet earth I thought you were gone forever. Oh god gross why the hell did I do that?" Tobias says getting up and wiping his lips
"Remind not to kiss you for the rest of the day." I say walking to the truck with Tobias in toe. We get to the hotel pretty quickly. Tori signs us in and we go to the rooms. We're sharing obviously so I go with Tobias.
"Want to push the beds together?" Tobias asks as I'm hanging up our clothes in closet. I shrug closing the closet since I'm done and stuffing the doors with clothes then fixing the bathroom. By the time I'm done Tobias has the beds together.
"Your eager." I say throwing myself on the bed. Tobias drops himself next to me he leans in about to kiss me but I jump off the bed
"You just kissed the floor in case you forgot! No! Like go and brush your teeth or something!" I say pointing at the bathroom
Tobias laughs heading to the bathroom before there's a knock at the door. I open it to find Christina
"Hope I wasn't interrupting." Christina says wiggling her eyebrows craning her head to look inside
"Shut up." I say pushing her she laughs taking out a couple of papers
"I wasn't? Right?" She asks, I give her an 'are you series?' look "Good cause that would have been awkward." Christina says
"Your unbelievable." She shrugs before, she starts handing me some papers
"Here we're going to Disney Land today so get ready we'll eat in the lobby before we go." Christina says heading back to her room. The papers are tickets and a brochure
"Tobias hurry up! We're going to Disney." I say, I change out of my clothes, but keep the black shorts, only changing into a red Minnie Mouse crop top, and black walking shoes. We're probably gonna walk a lot so it's a pretty good idea.
"I've been ready." Tobias says opening the door
"Oh I didn't notice." I say grabbing a black hat and black sunglasses, before leaving the room and going down to the lobby holding Tobias's hand on the way there
"Aww they're so cute when they hold hands!" Shauna says making a heart with her hands pointing it toward us
"Sit we ordered a diverse pizza, and it's so freaking awesome!" Lynn says stuffing her face with a slice of pizza
"What?" I ask sitting down
"It's half meat lovers and the other half is Hawaiian." Veronica answers pointing at the pizza box. I make an o face before opening the box and taking out one meat lovers and one Hawaiian.
"Meat lovers is better right?" Zeke asks me
"No! Hawaiian is, right?" Will asks, I shrug and take bite of both pizzas to prove my point.
"Not helping." Zeke says, they both sigh and continue their little argument. We all brush it off, it eventually becomes a laughing dispute.
"I told you!" Will says as Zeke takes another bite of the Hawaiian pizza
"Okay you were right but so was I!" Zeke says, Will shrugs eating the meat lovers pizza
"I'm telling you it is impossible for any of us to get in a fight with each other that last longer than 5 minutes!" Veronica says sipping at her Coke
"No! What about that snowball fight we had? That had to have lasted a least 10 minutes." Alex argues
"That so does not count." Jacob says
"It does too!" Alex says
"No it doesn't." We all tell him
"Well done, can I get you anything else?" The waitress asks, we shake our heads no. "Great! Have a good day! Oh and I love you guys!" She says blowing us a kiss before leaving to the next table
"Okay that was awesome!" Uriah says
"I could so get used to that." Zeke says leaning back in his seat, Shauna slaps his chest "Ow! I was joking!" Zeke says rubbing his chest
"Good one!" Lynn says, giving her a high five. We laugh getting up and heading to the cars on the way to Disney Land.
"Tower of Terror! We so have to do that first!" I say, we all split up half of us going to Tower of Terror, the other half being wimps. I probably shouldn't say that I am talking about boyfriend
"I swear best rides have the longest lines." Alee complains
"It's so worth it though." Charlie says, we end up playing Candor or Dauntless to pass time
"Candor or Dauntless?" Shauna asks me
"Dauntless." I say
"Okay I dare you to go up to the person in front of us and ask for their number." Shauna says pointing at the guy in front of me. I shrug and tap his shoulder
"Excuse me, can I have your number?" I asks as politely as I can manage. I'm practically dying of laughter on the inside
"You can have whatever you want. Here take my phone if you want." He says handing me his phone, I hold it in my hand awkwardly giving him a confused look
"What?" I ask trying to give it back but he pushes my hand away
"You keep it. It would be an honor. I mean you're Six one of the lead singers from Raven. You're amazing." He says
"Oh! Now I get it, um here how about I sign it, you keep your phone and everyone leaves happy." I say taking out a pen and writing the band name in cursive on the case before giving back the phone
"Oh my god! Six just signed my phone case! Touched my phone, I'm never cleaning this again." He says holding the phone to his cheek
"Um okay..." I say a little scared now
"Is there anything I can do for you? I mean you have no idea how much I love you guys I'm you biggest fan!" He says
"I see that." I say trailing off
"I literally have all your albums and merchandise. I'm obsessed! Really just, oh thank you so much for being you. You're perfect." He says getting down on his knees
"Well thank you, but we should really get going." I say gesturing to the rest of the line. He agrees and moves forward as I move back
"I did not see that coming." Lynn says
"Yeah, well no author can complain about me now. That's a fanboy on a much bigger scale than me." I say
"I know I saw it. I'm just over here like 'and I thought I was a fan girl' seriously that was just scary." Charlie says
"I would probably act like that though." I say, Charlie nods
"Still did you hear him? He was like 'you're perfect' like the way you hear it in those killer movies before some lunatic buries someone alive." Marlene says, we start laughing as we get in the elevator for the ride together.
"This is my favorite part." Christina says squeezing my arm excitedly as the weird voice comes on before the elevator shoots up starting the ride.
"Now!" I yell, we all throw our arms up and stick our tongues out as we pass by the camera. We make sure to get a copy of our pictures before we leave
"Why is it so late?" I ask looking up the sky the sun is pretty close to setting
"The plane took forever to get here." Christina says sadly
"So we did find each other." I say elbowing Tobias, he smiles handing me popcorn and cotton candy
"Thanks, ooo I'm getting my face painted." I say running to the station. The lady there is also a fan so she decides to surprise my by making a raven engulfed in flames on my cheek
"I've always wanted to do that." She says happily, I smile and take the red Disney Land balloon from her
"This is my souvenir." I say pointing at my balloon
"Souvenirs!" Marlene screams running to the small store. We follow her in and I decide on a bracelet with a Minnie Mouse charm along with a bag of candy. I mean who doesn't like candy?
"Veronica are you okay?" She looks giddy
"Beach!" She screams racing back to the cars probably on the way to the beach. We finally make it there after many attempts and many failed google map directions
"Be right back." I say I go to the bathroom and change into my bathing suit and stepping back out side. Tobias scoops me up running down to the beach
"Look." He whispers, I stop my attempts to get him to put my down and follow his gaze and there it is. The most beautiful sunset. I rest my head on his shoulder as he kisses my nose enjoying the moment
"I've always loved sunsets." I say smiling up st him, he smiles too leaning into kiss me
"Lovebirds, look at the morons." Lynn calls as Zeke, Uriah, and Alex attempt to surf
"That is so much harder than it looks." Zeke says throwing himself in the sand still spitting water
"Come on." I say once Tobias puts me down, grabbing his hand and a bucket heading to the surf. I wait for the wave before putting my foot down crushing what I hope is a seashell
"I'm confused." Tobias says I laugh and move my foot after the wave leaves picking up the seashell "Oh." Tobias says it's actually pretty so I put in the seashell in the bucket waiting for the next wave. Soon Tobias joins me in the art of collecting seashells
"Tobias!" I screech, he slips his arm under my back last minute, pulling me back up as I fall under the strength of that last wave
"You okay?" Tobias asks grabbing my shoulders to steady me
"That one was stronger and I wasn't ready but look." I say showing him the seashell I caught. He laughs placing it in the bucket too
"Guys come and look at this." Charlie yells waving us over. We run over sand getting stuck to our feet
"Oh crap." I say, Jacob and Will are neck deep under the sand
"And to think, I thought we were the sensible ones." Will says turning to Jacob, who sighs in agreement
I sit down and start making this sandcastle around Jacob and Will. Everyone joins in and soon we have this giant sandcastle, that'll probably crumble if you breath too hard, and Will and Jacob as the two rulers in the the middle. Obviously kings because of their seashell crowns, along with their servants dead crab 1 and dead crab 2.
"We're amazing." Veronica says, we all lay down for awhile staring up at the stars trying to connect the dots
"That one looks like a heart." I say grabbing Tobias's hand intertwining our fingers. We stay there longer until the waves make me want to sleep
"It's late. Should we get going?" Will asks from behind the castle doors. I turn away not wanting to see our art work get ruined
"I pretty sure I have sand in my butt." I say putting a towel on the seat in the car so it doesn't get that dirty
"Pretty sure you're not the only one." Tobias says, backing up and heading back to the hotel
"First one there is the first one to take a shower." I say and sprint to the hotepl room from the parking lot. I instantly relax into the warm water and change into Tobias's old shirt when I'm done
"Finally." Tobias says running to the bathroom. I watch Mean Girls while Tobias is in the shower. By the time he gets out we watch 50 First Dates together
"It ended happy you realize that right?" Tobias asks
"These are happy tears." I say burying my face in my book, The Scorpio Races, wiping away tears while stealing Cheetos from Tobias
"Hey! Tobias it's impossible to read in the dark. Trust me I've tried." I say
"It's midnight." Tobias whines, grabbing my book and putting it on the book shelf. I pout but lay down sleep finally coming to me
"Love you." Tobias murmurs since his voice is muffled by the skin he's kissing along the back of my neck
"Love you too." I say, holding his hand as he slips it around my waist holding me protectively. I close my eyes dreaming about our concert tomorrow.
