ok so, sleeping on the floor might not be the brightest idea that we have ever had.
We all wake up sore and limbs strewn about on each other, groaning getting up.
well, me and shelby got up. rissa just laid there pretending she was dead until shelby kicks her with her sock covered foot making her groan and sit up.
"ok im up im up" she yawns, rubbing sleep from her eyes.
"it's target time, my treat get up" shelby says, knowing the best way to get her sister up.
with a clap and the beginning of live while we're young blasting through the speakers the three of us get up to get ready.
i walk into the closet and grab the first pair of sweatpants and t-shirt i can grab before heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face
once i finish in there i walked out to the living room where rissa and shelby were waiting.
"lets go lets go, shopping waits for no one" i said while clapping my hands and sliding my feet into my old dirty forces.
"race you to the car lessi" marissa announces before bolting past me to get to my car so she could drive.
"absolutely not, RISS YOU SUCK AT DRIVING STOP" i shout, bolting after her to my car.
now i love my best friend but i will NEVER let her drive my car after she almost crashed it the summer before senior year.
"AH HA i win get in the back rissy" i poke my tongue out at her, hopping into the drivers seat pointing to the back seat.
shelbs snorted and got in the passenger seat of my car, quickly connecting her phone to the bluetooth.
while i was sitting in the driver seat waiting for a very pouty marissa to get in the back seat.
a loud and off key singing car ride later we pull up to target and go our separate ways, agreeing to meet in about an hour.
i make a beeline for the blankets and candles section, priorities y'know?
i was trying to decide between a plane pink fuzzy blanket and a light pink soft blanket with cherry on it when i heard a voice.
her voice.
"lia?"
i froze, somewhat hoping she would disappear and this whole thing wasn't real.
sadly it was very real and paige wouldn't be disappearing anytime soon.
standing in front of me was paige.
the paige i hadn't seen since she left. the paige whos clothes were packed in a box at my apartment.
she took a step towards me, her eyes wide in disbelief that i was actually standing in front of her.
she opens her mouth, ready to say something again but before she can say another word to me we hear thumping foot steps that sound like running coming towards us.
turning the corner was a group of her teammates, they paused most likely due to the tense and awkward atmosphere in the aisle.
panic filled my chest and the store began to feel smaller as i avoided the stare i felt from the blonde.
"i um better get going, riss and shelby are probably looking for me" is what i manage to spit out throwing a random blanket into the cart and quickly exiting the aisle.
"lia wait" i heard paige call out but i just keep walking faster.
after i know im far enough away i whip out my phone and call rissa.
"i saw paige."
"oh shit"
oh shit is right.
we quickly check out and rush back to the car.
after breaking multiple speeding laws on the way home and putting the finishing touches on the small apartment.
settling into my room i cant help but think about everything that happened today.
memories of paige and i rushing all throughout my head.
all of a sudden i felt like that stupid 16 year old all over again.
swallowing the tears i fumble out of my room in just enough time to go with riss to drop shelby off at the airport where i had once again lost my shit and starting bawling.
"i love you both so much, your my girls ill always have your back"
that night i slept in marissa's bed with her, much like i did all junior year.
