It All Started With A Tweet

Chapter Twelve

"And I could just go for a long weekend, from Friday to Sunday, so I wouldn't miss any play practice. Friday and Sunday practices don't start for three weeks," I explained to Katie.

She shook her head, "Elena, this is crazy! What if he isn't there?"

"What do you mean, if he isn't there?"

"Like what if he made a side trip to Canada to see his friends?"

"He has a show Saturday, so there will be no side trips."

"But he has a show Saturday, so why go at all?"

"To surprise him! And we would have Friday night and Sunday. Is it just the perfect idea?" We were sitting at lunch the next day, and I was trying to convince Katie to cover for me for the weekend. I had decided that I was going to fly out to Los Angeles to see Justin, but I needed an acomplice.

"Elena, I just don't think this is a good idea. Flying cross country by yourself? It has bad news written all over it. And cover for you for a whole weekend? What am I supposed to day?" She shook her head and I sighed. Katie was the spontaneous one, she was supposed to go along with my crazy plans.

"My parents won't come looking for me anyway. Say that Friday is a skip day, and then we are going shopping on saturday and doing something else on sunday. Then where ever you go, check me in on facebook. No one will ever know I'm gone." I had it all planned out, she just had to support me on it.

"I'm with Katie, Elena, this could be a disaster." Marie said, shaking her head. "This has bad idea written all over it. Next thing we know your picture will be on the back of this milk carton," she said, holding it up.

"Come on you guys, when have you ever known me to do anything spontaneous? This is like a one in a life time chance!"

"Exactly, you aren't spontaneous. That's what this will probably be a disaster. And Justin won't know you are there, how are you going to find him?" Katie replied.

"He already told me what hotel he was staying at. Don't you think I have thought of all the questions you guys are asking me?" I started to get annoyed.

"Well I hope you know all the answers," Katie said. "I'll cover for you, if you want Elena. But I still don't think this is a good idea."

"Yes! Thank you! You are the best friend ever!" I squealed, getting up and hugging Katie.

Now I just have to ask my mum if I can take money out of my account she set up. I would say I was going shopping, which wasn't a stretch. I planned on going shopping in LA!
