13 ~ Shopping

Paradise

It's been 4 days, since the day I saw Tyler and Keri kiss. To be honest all I was thinking about all those days were Tyler. I liked him, but I had Sam and I obviously like him more. I love Sam. I also miss him more than ever.

Briana thought it would be good for us to go shopping. So, right when I woke up I took a jog, then got ready. I decided to wear a black, floral sundress. I pulled my hair back into a high ponytail and put a yellow headband, almost like a bandana.

I went downstairs to get something to eat, because I was starving. When I got down I see Briana and Lindsey sitting down at the long dining table.

"Morning, we've been waiting," Lindsey complained. I ignore her and head to the kitchen to get some cold pizza. I munched it down so fast, I swear I would have choke if I didn't have water. I quickly exit the kitchen and enter the dining room.

"Took you long enough," Briana said. Somehow I think Lindsey's anger issues were contagious, because I swear Briana was turning into a Lindsey 2.0!

"Sorry, can we just go now?" I said and they nod in agreement.

I regretted not driving us to the mall, because of Lindsey. She pretty much drove like 10 miles per hour. About 3 people honked at us, which made Lindsey put one finger out her opened window. Briana and I couldn't help but laugh. Lindsey, of course, made a face at us, but joined in.

Luckily I had brought almost 200 dollars with me. I'm quickly running out of money. I really needed to get a job just for the summer. We went to many stores like Love Culture, Hollister, and Aeropostale. Lastly we went to Macy's.

"What's wrong?" Briana asked.

"Nothing," I said quietly. Obviously there was something wrong. I had been thinking about Tyler the whole time we were shopping. Why can't I get him off my mind?

"Is it Tyler?" she asked.

"Ya...." I whispered.

"Did you know it's his birthday tomorrow?" Briana asked.

"What?! No!" I literally screamed, which made people stop and stare at us.

"Well it is. Are you gonna go?" she said.

"Well.... I wasn't even invited," I said. Why didn't he tell me. He never mentioned anything about his birthday.

"You don't have to be invited to go. Random people go, even strangers. Well... not really it's just Tyler is so popular everyone knows him, but he doesn't know them," she said sighing.

"So, I can go?" Lindsey said butting in.

"Yes," Briana answered.

"Will Ryan be there?" Lindsey asked.

"Yes, of course," Briana replied. She was obviously annoyed. Ryan and Briana were both overly protective of each other. It was obvious.

We continued shopping, except me. I was thinking about whether I should go to Tyler's party or not. If I was gonna go, I would want to give him a gift. I decided to go shopping for him instead of me.

I went out of the store without telling Briana and Lindsey. I knew just what I was get him. Let's just hope he'd like it.

*19th Day of Summer*

Today was Tyler's birthday. I couldn't help, but think of 100 scenarios of what might happen. I stood up to change for my morning jog.

While I was jogging I feel my side vibrating. I take out my phone to see who was calling. I immediately stopped jogging and just started at the screen.

Sam.

I pick up. "Hello?" I said my voice cracking a little bit.

"Abby?" he asked. I felt a shiver go go my spine. He's voice made my legs weak.

"Ya," I said.

"Hey, sorry I haven't been able to talk or text you lately. I've been really busy," he said. Really busy doing what?

"Lindsey said you haven't been home ever since I left," I said. Hopefully I made him shock.

"What are you talking about?" he asked sounding confused.

"You know what Im talking about!" I said almost shouting. I've never shouted at Sam. Never. We also never had a fight.

"Ummm....no I don't. Are you ok? If you want we can talk about this in a couple of days," he said.

"Huh?" I ask obviously extremely confused about what he was talking about.

"Im going there in 3 days," he said.

"Seriously?" I asked. He can't be serious.

"Yes. Hey I have to go. My mom's calling me. I'll see you soon Abby. I love you," he said using his sweet and kind tone.

"I love you, too," I said and he ended the call.

*Briana's POV*

"Happy Birthday!" I said greeting Tyler on the phone.

"Ummm, thanks?" he said.

"It's Briana, stupid!" I screamed. Why won't he just save my name on his contacts.

"Oh ya, sorry" he apologized.

"It's fine, I just wanted to ask you a question about the party?"

"Ya, sure.." he said.

"Can I bring Lindsey?" I asked. I already knew the answer, but who cares.

"I don't know who that is, but sure," he said obviously confused.

"Cool," I said almost hanging up, but he stopped me.

"Wait! Is Abigail going?" he asked obviously embarrassed. He obviously cared if she went. It was so obviously he liked her. I hope he knows that.

"Oh no, sorry," I said lying to him.

"Oh ok...well bye," he said sounding disappointed and hung up.
