Chapter 42

Caitlin's Point of View ;)

Sidney picks me up and I'm only going for the weekend, but I had to pack a really large suitcase.. Mostly for his present. He laughs at me and asked if I could pack anymore for just a couple days. And yes, yes I could. I had to take some of my clothes out, to put his present in. I hope he likes it. He better.
We're boarding the plane and I'm thinking more about my birthday plan. I don't know if the scavenger hunt is a good idea. I'm thinking it'll be hard to pull off...
Sidney watches me as I sit in my plane seat. "You look beautiful," he says, a smile on his face. "I missed you today."
I smile back at him and then put my head down on his shoulder. "I missed you too." We both pause a moment before I say, "you know I've probably gone on more plane rides with you than in my entire life."
Sidney just laughs and kisses the top of my head. He rides planes all the time.
We arrive at the airport on time and Sidney's parents are waiting for us at a gift shop place. I guess that's where Sidney always meets his parents. They both hug him and his mother gives him a kiss and I hang back awkwardly. Then they turn to me.
"You must be Caitlin!!" His mom says, coming over to hug me. I stand up my suitcase and hug her back. "I've heard soo much about you!" She says smiling.
"Good things?" I smile, hoping I hadn't done anything too bad to Sidney.
"Always," she says. Sidney's dad comes over and shakes my hand and we all walk out and to their car where it's parked in the huge parking lot.
Sidney and I sit in the back. It makes me feel like such a kid. Sidney and his parents talk about what's going on this weekend and I get a feel for what I'll be doing. I'm definitely not going to have time for the scavenger hunt thing. I think it'd be weird anyways. Sidney's parents seem nice enough but I'm not brave enough to ask about it.
When we get to his house his little sister Taylor attacks him with a hug. Then I'm shown to Sidney's room. Apparently there's a guest room that's under renovation and I wouldn't normally be allowed to do this. Sidney kisses me when we walk in. "I'm so glad they're finally redoing that room," he whispers. "I'm so glad you could come."
"You just wanted me in your bed." I laugh at him and plop down on his bed. It's been such a long day and I'm feeling tired. Sidney gets down on the bed with me and kisses me again. "I love you," I say. We rest for a couple minutes then head back out to his living room to socialize with his parents and younger sister before his parents head to bed. It's already 9:00, and they don't usually stay up that late. I'm glad because I really just want to go lay down with Sidney. And I can't wait to give him my present tomorrow.
Sidney's parents ask me a lot of questions about myself and my family. I almost feel like I'm being interrogated, but they're cool about it, they're just curious. They live so far away, they're kind of detached from our whole life in Pittsburgh. So we visit until around 11:00 when they absolutely must turn in because they can't go 30 seconds without yawning. I admit I'm feeling pretty sleepy as well.
Sidney and I stay up for a long time in his bedroom before we actually go to sleep. His bed is small, and kind of awkward to try and fit two people into side by side, but I'm a cuddly kind of person so I'm fine with that.

Ruthanne's Point of View <3

I wake up in the morning and lay in bed. All I can think about is how last night we almost got jumped by a bunch of gangsters. They must have been attracted by Kris's fancy car. And our loud music. I had a dream about that experience, only, we didn't get away and they were harrassing us and smashing up the car and whatnot. The dream was really unrealistic, but it was scary anyways.
I notice my phone buzzing and check the time, 11:00. Jeez, I think. I'm up late. I've got like a text from Kris. I'm always happy to wake up to a text from him.
Good morning baby, <3 I love you!
I text him back quickly.
Good morning, I love you too!!!! <3<3 Are you doing anything today?
I add on to the end of it so he'll have a reason to text me back. He's not huge on texting, but you can keep him going if there's a good conversation.  My phone buzzes almost immediately.
I'm not doing anything today. Do you want my help moving stuff?
It would be a great opportunity to hang out with Kris all day. I love being with him.
Yeah, I only have a few more boxes to pack and take over. <3 See you soon?
I really don't need that much help, I realize after I look at the mess that just needs to be organized and shoved into a box. But Kris would look for an excuse to come over here anyways. I can't wait to see him.
Yep, I'll be over in a few.
I sigh and hop out of bed. I need to shower and get some of my stuff organized before he gets here. I don't want him to see my room like this. I head to the bathroom and plug my iPod into the speakers. Cobra Starship comes on and I sing along as I bathe. It's going to be a good day, I keep telling myself even though I woke up feeling kind of sad and weird. Kris gets to my house in no time, like I figured he would and he's knocking at the bathroom door before I even have my hair brushed. Thankfully, I'm dressed and I open the door for him to come in.
"hey," he says, smiling instantly when he sees me. I look up at him, embarrassed. I'm sure I look like a drowned rat or something with my flat, wet hair and no makeup and sweats on. Oh well, I reassure myself. He's seen you at your worst. This isn't that bad.
"Hey," I say back, continuing to pick at the tangles in my hair with the comb. He walks around me so he can put is arms around my waist and further prevent me from getting anything done. I grumble and pull away from him and he gives me an insulted look in the mirror. I didn't mean it, but I want to get my hair combed out before it starts drying.
"My bed missed you last night," he says quietly. I smile and start laughing.
"Is that so?" I set down my comb and raise an eyebrow at him. His sense of humor is so odd sometimes. But I love it.
"It is," he grins, that cute crooked smile he has and leans down to kiss me. Kris can make me feel better no matter what mood I'm in. "You look cute today," he says, his eyes quickly moving up and down my body. I blush instantly. I can't tell if he's being serious, but I think he tends to like it better when my look is more natural. I hug him and we walk to my bedroom.
"wow," he chuckles at the mess.
"I know,  I didn't get a chance to finish organizing," I say. "I just woke up when we started talking," I smile.
"It's okay," Kris laughs, "I admit to cleaning extensively before you come over." We both chuckle and then we get to work on the last few boxes that need to go. I'm moving almost completely out of my parents' house.
"I think you're gonna like my room. I put my Letang jersey up already." I wink at him as I walk out of my room and towards the stairs with the box I'm carrying.
He chuckles then follows me down the hall with two of his own boxes.
All of a sudden I hear Kris yell and then everything goes black as I tumble down the stairs...
