"C'mon Susanna! We're about to leave!" My mom called with her suitcase in her left hand. My name is Susie, but only my parents and aunts call me by my real name, Susanna.
I smiled and grabbed my own suitcase and headed to our Honda Odyssey, and taking a seat in the very back corner. Me and my parents were about to head to Panama City Beach, FL with my cousins and aunt. I've been pretty excited for it all summer, since we decided to go in the beginning of August, right before school starts back up.
"You excited, or nah?" Olivia, practically my sister said as she took a seat next to me. I laughed and nodded while trying to untangle my headphones. This trip was 12 hours in the car, and there was no way I could listen to my dad's music from the 70's the whole way.
"Yes, Gabe, I promise. No I won't talk to any other boys on the beach. No I swear! It's only you, baby. Just you." My other cousin Abigail said into her phone, talking to her boyfriend, as she opened the door to our van. "A tattoo? Yes, I'm gonna get your name on my forehead. No, I'm kidding, I promise. Just because I turned 18 a few months ago doesn't mean I'm going to stock up on cigarettes and get a tattoo, babe."
Olivia looked at me and rolled her eyes. I giggled and continued watching Abigail talk to her boyfriend. Kim (my aunt), my mom, and dad all got in the car waiting for Abigail to stop talking to her boyfriend so we could finally start on this long trip.
"No, I love you more. Yes I do-"
"Abigail, come on. We are gonna leave without you." Kim said angrily, cutting off Abigail. She groaned and mumbled a quick 'bye' into the phone, before sitting next to Olivia in the back with us.
"Well, here we go." My dad chuckled as we pulled out of my driveway and finally on the way to Florida.
We were on the road for about 15 minutes talking about our plans for when we first get there, when we finally got on the interstate.
"Goodbye, Kentucky!" Abigail said and waved out the window.
"Abby, please don't." Olivia groaned and layed her head back on the seat. Olivia is her sister, and she's only fifteen, one year older than me, but she judges Abigail more than Abigail judges her. It's usually the other way around; the older sister judging the younger, but they're a little...different.
I laughed and put in my headphones, and put my phone on shuffle, not even caring what song came on. I layed my head against the window and drifted off to sleep, in hopes I would sleep for most of the anxious trip.

"Wake up idiot, we are like 10 minutes away." I heard Olivia say sleepily in my ear.
"We are?!" I said excitedly, waking right up. I live in the city in Kentucky, and the beach is literally my favorite thing ever.
"Did I stutter? No." She said. I laughed, again.
"We didn't think you two were ever gonna wake up!" My dad chuckled as he saw me yawn and stretch.
Finally, the 10 minutes were up and we arrived at our condominiums, the AquaVista condos, unloaded our van and brought all of our luggage up.
"Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving!" My dad groaned from his bedroom.
"Agreed." Kim said.
"Pineapple Willy's?" I asked. Pineapple Willy's was all our favorite restaurant here, since we usually come her on our group vacations. Everyone nodded and agreement as we went off our separate ways to get ready.
Olivia and I went into our shared bedroom and pulled out our suitcase to decide what we are going to wear. Olivia pulled out a floral print strapless top, white denim shorts, and tan heels. She applied foundation, mascara, and put her golden hair in Ariana Grande style. I decided on a red '5 Seconds of Summer' shirt, black studded shorts, and my red vans. I left my ombre hair wavy, and applied eyeliner and mascara.
After we were all ready, we packed back into our car and made our way to Pineapple Willy's.
Only god knows what will happen...

"So, it's out last vacation before going on tour...again." Ashton groaned as we sat in the airport, waiting for our flight to be called. Don't get me wrong, we love going on tour, but we have been on tour almost non-stop. We're just tired.
"Where are we going again? Some American place right?" Calum asked confused.
"Panama City Beach. It's in Florida." I answered for him. The beach is my second-home, so I am actually pretty excited for this trip.
"Flight for Panama City-Bay County Airport is now boarding!" I heard a nasal voice say over the intercom. We quietly picked up our luggage and made out way through the screaming fans to the loading dock of the plane.
We quietly took our seat in the plane. I was against the window, with Michael beside me, Ashton beside him, and Calum on the end seat.
"We need everyone to sit in their seats and buckle their seatbelts. We are ready for take-off." The pilot said through the speaker.
As soon as the plane took off, Michael yawned and layed his head on my shoulder.
"There better be a couple of cute girls here." He quietly mumbled before falling asleep. It was in that moment when I realized just how tired that I really was too.

"WAKE UP, LUKE! WE'RE IN AMERICA!" I heard a familiar voice scream into my ear. My head shot up.
"Seriously? How long was I asleep?" I asked, while stretching with a yawn.
"The whole flight. We just landed." Michael spoke. "I woke up like 10 minutes ago."
Since we had landed, we grabbed our luggage and made our way off of the plane and into the airport. We met a few fans and went straight into the limo that our manager had sent us. We went straight to a condo called AquaVista, and we made our way up to our room.
"I'm hungry." I immediately stated as we walked into our condo. "Let's go get something to eat."
"Oh my gosh, when are you not hungry? You're worse than Niall sometimes." Calum groaned.
"We should go somewhere with a cool name." Ashton giggled.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Everytime that I'm out of town I like to go to a place with a weird title. They usually have the best food, in my opinion." He shrugged. Now that I think of it, his statement is true.
"I saw a place called Pineapple Willy's" I stated.
"Ooh, I saw that from the limo too." Michael cheered.
"Then let's go." Ashton smiled.
We headed out the door and were on our way to Pineapple Willy's.
