ring ring ring you scanned the room for your phone, but it was nowhere in sight. finally, you spotted it in the corner of the room, wedged inside a book. you checked it and it was a message from your close friend PJ.
"hey y/n. so um, well I thought it would be cool to, uh, it might be fun...lets go on a road trip. I'll pick you up in 25 minutes."
you quickly texted him back to say, yes, of course, and ran to get a bag of your things together. when PJ pulled up to you house, he didn't even have to get out of the car, you had come running down to him.
"hey!"
"hey!"
"where are we going?"
"I guess you'll have to wait and see." he said with a grin, and he began driving. you could hear his music playing softly and you suddenly realized how tired you were.
"hey, would you mind if I just get a quick nap in?"
"no, go ahead."
you shut your eyes and were instantly asleep. every so often the car would jolt a little, and you would crack one eye open. you caught PJ staring at you multiple times with this happy little smile on his face.
"hey, eyes on the road." you joked.
he just chuckled and turn back towards the road. you kept your eyes closed, but you felt the car being pulled over. you realized PJ was getting gas for the car, and continued to rest. then you heard voices.
"PJ? PJ!"
"oh hey man, what's up?"
"not much not much. who's that?"
"oh, that's my friend, y/n."
"friend, huh?"
PJ just laughed. then there was another voice,
"she's pretty. are you hitting that?"
"hey, shut up! you shouldn't talk about girls like that, especially y/n!" you could hear the anger in his voice and were touched that he would defend you. after some goodbyes, PJ was back in the car. you pretended to wake up and smiled brightly at him.
"almost there." he told you smiling. he still seemed annoyed about the comment (you could tell through his driving). your eyes widened as you rounded the corner and the sea met them. it looked beautiful.
"aw, Peej! yes I love the beach!"
"I know." he said smiling. soon enough, he parked and grabbed a blanket and basket out of the trunk. "time for a picnic."
the two of you had a lot of fun, telling jokes, and just chatting at the beach. at one point, PJ ran down to the water and tried to splash you. you shrieked. it had been the perfect day. after some excitement, the two of you lay on the blanket, happily.
"y/n? I really like our friendship...and I would never want to jeopardize it...it's just that...well, I don't know if I can stand being friends with you anymore, I like you too much." he suddenly said quietly.
you propped yourself up on an elbow and smiled at him. "I can't stand being friends with you anymore, either." he laughed. "I like you too, PJ. thank you for the amazing day."
