When The Lights Go Down CONTINUED...

Last Day of Down Time

B tossed and turned for almost an hour before giving up on the concept of getting back to sleep 

*B gets up and walks downstairs to get some breakfast, Mom is sitting at the counter having coffee*

(Mom) are you sick?

(Bailey) no….why? do I look sick?

(Mom) you look …UP…and its before 6am…so I'm confused

(Bailey) well I'm not happy about it that’s for sure…I just couldn’t sleep

(Mom) why couldn’t you sleep?

(Bailey) nightmares…then I realized we leave tomorrow and…yea

(Mom) how is the packing going?

(Bailey) I'm all packed….at least my clothes are…Livie took the liberty of doing that the other day….apparently I'm not qualified to dress myself

(Mom) well, I have to hand it to her, Livie does have an eye for style.

(Bailey) I think she should be a stylist…in fact I think she should be MY stylist…

(Mom) *chuckles* well just start name dropping on tour…I'm sure you could have her hired in no time.

(Bailey) pfffft! I'm keeping her for myself! *pours a bowl of cereal*

(Mom) So I've decided we are going to take an earlier flight to LA tomorrow…

(Bailey) how much earlier?

(Mom) no school tomorrow, flight is scheduled for 10 am

(Bailey) ok…

(Mom) I know that means less time with Sam but…

(Bailey) *shrugs* we don’t have classes together anyway since he is a sophomore…just lunch

(Mom) Ok, good…remember…straight home from school

(Bailey) *sigh* I know…I know…. *lost appetite* I'm going to go get ready

*B lays on her bed ready for school and texts Miley*

(Bailey text) I know you are asleep…just wanted to tell you we should be in LA around noon tomorrow...lunch?

*B closes her phone and sighs*

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

I just realized that we leave tomorrow morning for two months…I'm going to miss my bed…and Livie…and most of all…Sam

*Mom yells from downstairs*

(Mom) BAILEY

*B walks downstairs to see Sam standing in the doorway*

(Bailey) what are you doing here?

(Sam) Thought I would see if it was ok with your mom for you to ride with me to school

*B looks at mom pleading*

(Mom) It's fine with me, I have a ton of packing to do and that saves me from having to get out…

*B smiles* 

(Bailey) just let me grab my backpack *runs upstairs and grabs her backpack before running back down and out the front door*

*Sam opens the car door for B and she hops in, he closes her door then rounds the car and gets in turning to B *

(Sam) still mad at me?

*B shrugs*

(Sam) *smirks* ok then…I'm still mad at you too

(Bailey) I just wish you wanted to spend time with me…I leave tomorrow ya know…early …mom changed our flight to 10
