Adelyn"I'm going back to La." I say shoving my bag in my trunk. "Is that such a great idea? With everything going on?" Lillian asks.
"You can say his name, Lily." I say. "I'm not the fragile little girl I once was."
"I know that, I just don't want you to get hurt again." Lillian says. I nod and hug her. "Thank you for being there for me."
Lillian nods. "Of course."
"Isabelle will be in San Diego for a few more days which mean I shouldn't have to deal with Ethan. So I'll go back and just- start living my life again, I guess." I shrug putting my hands in my pockets.
"Well, I love you. Call me whenever you want." Lillian smiles small. I nod, "Love you too."
"Bye." She says hugging me again.
I smile small before getting in my car. I shut my door and put on my seatbelt. Lillian walks back up to the house.
I turn my car on and click on my playlist. As I drive away from the house I decide to stop by the grocery store, there probably won't be much food left at the apartment. Plus if I stop at the grocery store in LA it will be more busy.
I hum a few songs as I drive towards the store.
"It's like your my mirror, my mirrors staring back at me." I sing with Justin Timberlake.
I park my car outside the store. I grab my purse and keys and step out of the car. Out of habit I check my outfit in the mirror.
It was casual- ripped skinny jeans and a pastel pink cropped hoodie. I had my hair tied half up half down and barely any makeup on.
I lock my car and walk inside the store. I grab a cart and begin to look around.
"What do I need? What do I need?" I whisper to myself.
I grab a carton of milk and a few things of yogurt.
"Hmm." I hum.
Examining the fruit I pick out my favourites, and a few for Isabelle. Finally, I make it to the snack aisle.
"Mm, I like these." I say putting a pack of Doritos and Cheetos in the cart.
Then I look through the chocolate. "No- no. No chocolate." I scold myself and quickly walk away.
I walk through the next few aisle and grab a few things. I grab some toilet paper then I walk further down the aisle.
"Shampoo. Yes, I need." I say squating down searching for my favourite one.
"Yes! Grapefruit." I almost squeal picking it up. I stand back up and put it in my cart.
"Oh my god." A voice mutters from behind me.
I turn around and immediately wish I didn't.
"What the fuck. Do you have a tracker on me or something?"
He rolls his eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes at me."
Ethan scoffs. "Shut up." He says with a small smile.
I shiver and chuckle slightly, so does he.
A voice brings us back to reality.
"I found it." Olivia chuckles walking over with a chocolate cake mix. "Adelyn." She says.
I clear my throat. "Olivia, you're back from Miami?" I ask quickly changing the subject.
"Just for a few days." Olivia says. "It's uh- great to see you. You look really great." She smiles.
