So we made it to California and its not how I expected it to be. Maybe my hopes were to high but I was expecting to see celebrities every where. Then again we weren't in the most glamours areas. Can't imagine why a celeb would want to be where we were. We stopped at a Motel for the night. The theme was Las Vegas. You can imagine how trashy it was. Any way, Cerk got two rooms. He, Nancy and Philip take one. The rest have the other. They were on a stretch for money. After an uncomfortable night we left and went to the address of the coffee shop the picture had showed and got there five minutes before the time showed on the picture. (which was a terrible mistake, Mike was antsy, Audree was staring, Mike went into a depression state and the rest of us had to listen to the dumbest jokes that Tony came up with.) We sat at the coffee tables outside the shop. After I was about to tackle Tony to the ground, I noticed a cautious couple coming toward the coffee shop. The dark skinned man was tall and extremely muscular and the women with caramel skin was athletically fit. They looked like movie stars (with shades and everything!) I recognized Mike's lip shape and bone structure on the man. It had to be his parents. I was about to say something when Mike realised it on his own and stood up franicly. Cerk stopped him from running to them.
"Wait," he said "We want to be sure."
"I know my parents when I see them." Mike said coldly and moved his shoulder from Cerk's grasp, and just as he did so:
"Micheal!?" a women's voice called (it was the caramel skinned movie star women)
Mike turned with anticipation and smiled in her direction. "Mama?" he answered with glee, already knowing the answer
"It's me, baby!" and with that the women ran up to him and squeezed him tight with the man close behind
"Dad," Mike hugged his father as he hugged back.
I hadn't see Mike this happy in a long time. I even saw Audree shed a quick tear because she was so releaved to see him more like himself. In that moment I wondered if they had a chance to talk yet.
Then Mike's parent (Jeremy and Linda) took us to their apartment. (Ugh, I was kinda hoping they lived in a mansion so we would have more room :P) Linda made us dinner with the help of Nancy and we sat down at the dinner table and the rest on the kitchen counter to eat. We discussed our plan and Mike's parents were wary at first but joined us.
"So," Cerk explained "do you remember when you gave a a clue on your whereabouts in case we every needed to contact you?"
"Yeah," said Jeremy munching on tacos
"We were hoping that Rose or Sierra-" I brightened at my mothers name (Sierra) " gave you information on where they would be." said Nancy hopefully
Mike's parents looked at each other for a moment.
"We haven't heard from Sierra in forever, but..." Jeremy started
"But, Rose did give us a clue on her whereabouts before we parted." Continued Linda
"Can we see it?" asked Cerk
"Actually, we already know where she is." Linda said proudly
"Really?" asked Cerk amazed "Where?"
"Hawaii," answered Jeremy
"Aw, yes!" cheered Tony balling his fist
Everyone stared at him for a moment and he looked around confused. I tried not to smile. Cerk turned back to Jeremy as if nothing happened.
"How did you figure it out?" he asked
Jeremy stiffened a laugh "Let us all agree Rose isn't the brightest when it comes to hiding secrets. No offense kid." he said looking at Tony from the kitchen counter
"None taken!" he called back not even glancing in his direction
"The code she gave us said 'I'm hiding out in America's youngest state."
Phillip looked confused and said:
"You that could also mean-"
"We know its Hawaii." Linda said with a bit of an attitude
"She use to talk about vacationing there a lot so we figured that's where she went." said Jeremy
"So that's where we are heading?"
During the conversation I kept quiet and tried to keep my cool while Tony kept staring :) smirking c: and winking ;] at me. It was hard to focus on the conversation. :\
Once it was time for us to go to sleep we all crowded into the guest room. Cerk and Nancy agreed to sleep on the couch in the living room (thank god) so it was just us teens in the room. It was a queen size bed, so Jasmine, Audree and I slept on the bed while the boys slept on the floor with all the pillows and blankets. We all talked about nothing in particular and then fell straight to sleep.
