Allison and her friends happen to unknowingly bump into TFIL on one of their many explorations. After spending the night together at an abandoned town, friendships begin to grow between Ali and the boys.
Somewhere in between Los Angeles and the N...
"What the hell dude! We were worried sick!" Elton yelled as soon as I️ walked into the RV. They all looked extremely pissed and worried.
"Nice to see you too Elton." I️ laughed, trying to break the tension in the room, as I️ grabbed a water bottle from the fridge.
"You can't just go mysteriously missing in a foreign country Col!" Sam yelled.
"I️ didn't go missing, I️ was just hanging out with the girl from last night. And like you haven't wandered off alone before, remember that time in Egypt." I️ stated, taking a swig of the cold water.
"Hey, that doesn't count, I️ got lost." Sam laughed.
"How did you know that she wouldn't kill you or kidnap you?" Corey over exaggerated.
"Cause I️ literally spent all last night talking to her. I️ trust her." I️ smiled.
"Okay but seriously dude, just next time tell us before you leave that you're going out. I️ thought you had a video to edit and post?" Sam asked.
"I️ finished early, and she texted me asking if I️ wanted to go out to lunch. So she picked me up, we had lunch, and then went penny boarding around Delft." I️ explained my day to them.
"How was the lunch?" Corey asked.
"Pretty good, she picked a small place downtown. The food was awesome but the waitress would not stop flirting with me which was kinda gross." I️ laughed.
My phone buzzed.
Ali<3: thanks for today, I️ had a lot of fun:)
"Let me guess, cute girl just texted you." Elton guessed. I️ nodded.
"Wow Colby, I've known you since we were 14 and I️ don't think I've ever seen you this into a girl." Sam said as he patted my back.
"Yea, I️ like her a lot." I️ smiled even bigger, if that's even possible.
"We can tell." Corey laughed.
"Well we're gonna go bowling in like 15 minutes so you coming or not?" Sam asked, putting his jacket on.
"Sure," I️ agreed. I️ should probably spend some time with them before we head home.
*ALI'S POV*
"Sooooo how was the date?" Kara asked me the second I️ got into the house.
"Good," I️ said, not revealing any details without them asking.
"Tell us the details girl! Good isn't good enough!" Mila said excitedly as we all sat down on the couch.
"Well I️ took him to Fijn, we had lunch and talked a little bit, we penny boarded around downtown, and then I️ drove him back to his RV." I️ told them.
"Awww! So cute." Mila screeched. I️ laughed, a blush coming to my cheeks when I️ thought about the date.
"Yea yea, let me go take a bath, I'm all sweaty from skating." I lied to them. I just need some alone time.
I️ locked my bathroom door and began to run a bath. I️ poured some Rose Jam shower gel into the warm water to make some bubble. I️ inhaled the sweet rose and vanilla scent, which instantly made me even happier. Rose Jam from LUSH is possible my favorite scent ever. Although it's only a winter edition item, I️ stock up whenever they have it in the stores or online.
I️ stripped out of my sweater and skinny jeans and examined myself in the full length mirror.
I'm not the skinniest, and I️ never have been, which I'm partially insecure about. I️ have fairly large breasts, which is a curse in disguise. My thighs touch each other which I've always hated. Not that I️ hate the look of my thighs, I️ actually like my thighs, I️ just hate the chafing I️ get during the summer or whenever I️ wear shorts. Stretch marks cover my hips and lower tummy.
My mother always told me that stretch marks aren't bad, and to look at them as lightning bolts. It makes them just a tad bit more beautiful and magical. Each one is unique; each one has its own design and shape.
I've been body shamed before because, in all honesty, I'm not the skinniest girl in the world. My stomach doesn't stick out much, it's just kinda squishy.
I️ smiled at myself in the mirror, cause as insecure as I️ may be, I️ love my body and I️ am happy with it.
I️ placed my Starbucks venti salted caramel latte on the side of the bath tub and turned off the tap. I️ slowly climbed into the warm bubble filled water. Peace slowly took over my mind and body.
I️ turned on Walk the Moon's WhatIf Nothing album, bobbing my head softly to their song The Sound Of Awakening, listening to each lyrics closely.
The distance and the difference between us is just illusion
I️ scrolled through Instagram, liking old and new friends posts. Old meaning high school friends I️ haven't talked to in years and new meaning the guys. Yes, I️ already followed them on Instagram. And in all honesty, I've stalked their pages a bit. Mostly Colby though. I️ mean, have you seen his page? It looks like a models page!
I️ let my eyes slowly drift shut, darkness taking over my body.
*COLBY'S POV*
"Strike motherfuckers!" Corey screamed, causing the entire bowling alley to stare at us. We most definitely were the loudest group there right now.
"You're up Col." Corey said, snapping me out of my trance. I️ stood up from the bench, grabbed a ball, and carefully examined the pins.
I️ took a step and threw the ball down the center of the lane. I️ watched it as it curved and went straight to the gutter.
"Why do I️ suck so much at bowling?" I️ laughed, slumping down on the uncomfortable wooden bench.
A notification popped up on my phone:
Ali.kurtt liked your post
I️ clicked on the notification to see she liked a post from last April, the one of me shirtless in a pool at night.
Looks like someone's doing a little stalking. I laughed to myself before shutting off my phone and focusing back on the game. I️ was currently in third place.
Corey in first, somehow.
Elton in second, surprising.
Me in third, also surprising.
Sam in fourth, not so surprising.
We played until the place was about to close and we got kicked out. The pizza slowly got eaten up by us in between our turns.
"I️ told you guys I️ would win." Elton said matter of factly as we walked in the cold to the car. Somehow, he caught up to Corey and beat him by 6 points.
"It was only 6 points Elton!" Corey yelled as we got into the rental car and drove back to the RV for the night. It was about 11:30 by the time we got back to the RV.
"I'm ready for some shut eye in an actual bed." Sam said as we all changed into our pajamas.
"Agreed." We all said as we climbed into our beds. Before I️ knew it, I️ was fast asleep.
Today was good.
