chapter seven

july 17th, 2020

alex's pov:

we have been driving around for about 4 hours, we have a little less than an hour left to drive. i took a nap for about an hour, then emma woke me up cause she got lonely.

it's 11:13 and we have just been talking and gossiping. emma continues to lightly ask me about weston and i give her light answers but i just would rather try very hard not to think about him.

he texted me while i was taking a nap and said something along the lines of:

weston-
hope your trip goes good, don't overthink or be too self destructive. always here if you want to text :)

which is so kind. that's why i do love him so much as just a human being. just a kind kind human.

~

we finally get to emma's dads house around noon. cp (chamberlainpaintings aka emma's dad) helps us bring our stuff in and we unwind with him for a few as he shows us his current artwork.

"how have you been alex? how's the move?" emma's dad asks.

"i've been good, the move has been a lot but i know i will love it in la once i get settled in" i say.

"yeah i'm sure it'll be super good for you, a fresh start" he says.

"yeah i'm excited. i wanna get more into my work too, i've been offered a bunch of cool modeling jobs and then a lot of collab videos and just a bunch of cool opportunities so i'm just gonna focus on that" i say.

"that's awesome man" cp says.

we've been hanging out with emma's dad for a couple hours and catching him up on our drama and such. he's been giving us all the advice in the world and being the usual amazing cp.

my parents got divorced when i was very very little and i wasn't ever super close with my dad once i started growing up. so emma's dad has kinda become my own also.

that's definitely another reason i have relationship problems ~ daddy issues ~ is something i relate to deeply but i secretly act like i totally dont relate to it at all.

i just want to marry someone older and mature like paul rudd or something. not someone my age god that sounds terrifying.

weston is my age he can't give me those like paul rudd dad vibes. he gives like i dont know soft gamer boy. ugh.

why am i thinking about daddy issues. what's happening to my brainnnnnnn.

"alex, you okay?" emma asks cause i look so out of touch with my surroundings while imaging me marrying paul rudd.

"yeah i'm just in my head that's all. i need a detox from my brainnnn" i say while whining.

"wanna go surfing?" cp says.

"absolutely" i say.

we all get up and go get ready to go surfing.

emma's dad has an extra wetsuit that i borrow that somehow fits me perfectly. and we fill up some water bottles and head out the door.

~

"this is so fucking hard whattt!!" i scream as i fall into the water drastically hard.

"we never said it was easy!" emma's dad yells back once i come back up from under the water.

"it's really hard but fun" emma says as she attempts to stay up on the board.

we continue surfing, or well trying to surf for a couple hours. there's only two boards so we would take turns.

it was actually really fun. a good way to get yourself out of your head cause you're so focused on not drowning.

~

we get back to emma's dads house around 5pm. we're all exhausted but had a super good relaxing time. we all take turns showering off the ocean water and then getting ready to go get some food.

"what do you guys want?" cp asks.

"burritos!" me and emma say in unison.

we get in the car and head out to a small local mexican restaurant. emma has talked about the burritos here so many times i'm so happy to try it finally.

we all sit down and order our burritos and appetizers. we eat our food once it comes and just chat about random stuff.

~

we get back to emma's dads house around 7:30pm. we all decide to literally go to sleep cause we're so tired.

i'm glad i get to be here for a few days. it's gonna be so good for me. i don't wanna even go back home. maybe when i go home i'll do something good for me like get a dog or a cat or something.

i'll see what emma thinks about that in the morning.
