I place my phone in my shorts pocket I grab my bags off the floor I open the door and walk out I start walking down the stairs once I get downstairs I place my bags by the front door along with moms.

" good morning mommy" I say going into the kitchen I give her a kiss on the cheek and grab a cinnamon roll out the pan " Buenos días mi amor" she says drinking her Starbucks coffee " where my Starbucks mami" I ask with my hand on my hip

" In the fridge mi amor " she says laughing I smile and head over to the fridge I grab my Carmel Frappuccino with cold foam and oat milk I grab a straw and start drinking my drink I eat my cinnamon roll.

"Nia you ready? " she asks getting her purse and keys I smile and hear a horn outside I knew it was the boys I grab my bags from the front door I open the front door my moms turns off the lights and locks the door we walk down the stairs to the entrance we walk down the outside steps .

She unlocks the doors to the car " jstar just follow me the entire time" my mom yells at him I giggle and put my stuff in the back seat " mom you got my ring light, makeup mirror?" I ask paranoid " yes I do Nia " I sigh and get in the car I buckle my self in .

She starts the car she hooks her phone up to AUX and plays Jhene Aiko I grab my pink blanket from the back seat I place it over my body and lay my head on the window I grab my iPad out my purse and also my AirPods I turn on All American I hear my phone ding inside my shorts pocket.

I grab it out my pocket and see a message from Ddot it's says how long is this drive I reply with it's about 8 hours you'll be okay I promise . I place my phone on my lap and continue watching my show

~ 3 hours later ~

I get woken by my mom telling me that we are at a gas station i sigh and fix myself before getting out the car I walk inside with my hood up I head to the drink section i grab me a Arizona Half & Half, I grab me some Pringles, chocolate covered almonds , & some candy & Doritos .

I head to register with my mom she pays for my stuff I thank her we walk to the car jstar gets out his car he pumps the gas for my mom I get back in the front seat I start eating my Doritos and drinking my water I packed in my purse .

Jstar finishes pumping the gas he goes back to his car my mom starts the car and continues driving we had to be in Maryland by 12 morning . I sigh and grab my phone out the cup holder.

I go on the ' TikTok' app and start scrolling through the app I check my TikTok notifications and see 99+ notifications I follow some of my supporters I go to my favorite sounds I pick the sound it was ' you need to come up here and get chu one of these it's a chicken salad' once it says it's a chicken salad I face it towards my mom.

She mugs the camera I laugh at her and I stop the video and put the letters on it I caption it ' my mama @mama.Lopez don't follow my mama 🤍' I close the app and put my phone back in the cup holder .

I lay my head back on the window and slowly go back to sleep.

~ 5 hours ~

I woke up about 2 hours ago only thing I've been doing is play iMessage games with Ddot and notti . They won some of the games I place my phone down and look out the window I see the sign for Maryland i smile and look at my mom " you okay mami" I ask worried " I'm okay mi amor you want something to eat?" I nod my head yes .

She pulls into a McDonalds drive thru I ask her for a sausage with egg and cheese biscuit "your total will be 11.24 at the first window ." My mom drives to the first window she gives her the credit card the lady gives my mom her credit card and receipt back we pull up to the second window she gets the food and we pull of .

We start out drive to the hotel which was 15 minutes away I look in the back window to see the boys still behind us i sigh and start eating my food I finish after 10 minutes I throw my trash in the bag that it came in.

I lay my head back I grab my phone and go onto instagram I make a post .
