A soft tickling sensation next to Barbie's face caused her to gently wake from her sleep. The vibration itself was so tiny and silent, yet it still woke her up. Her vision was blurry as she rubbed her eyes. Sitting up a small yawn escaped from her mouth as she picked up her phone. Looking at the home screen she saw the contact name Jessica <3. Seeing this of course brought a cheeky smile to Barbie. Quickly sliding the unlock button she read the text:



After reading it she immediately called her girlfriend.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Odd.

For Jessica not to answer Barbie's call was strange, though she didn't think to much into it. With every fiber of her being Barbie trusted Jessica, mainly because she loved her so much but also because they had been bestfriends for a very, very, very long time.

Slinging her feet off the edge of the bed she then looked over at Axel, whom appeared extremely peaceful. In a way she wanted to wake him up and ask him to take her by Jessica's house, but at the same time she wanted to watch him sleep and remain in his peaceful little world. Axel thought he was sneaky, but his tired like tendencies didn't surpass Barbie. She wasn't sure what was wrong with him, but she had noticed the eye bags; she hoped since summer how just begun he would start getting more rest. A gentle sigh managed to leave her lips, and the after her small sound the room turned back into quietness. Not sure what to do she leaned back and rested her head on Axel's stomach.

Accidentally she had woken him up; she had known as soon as she heard him groan. "Why are you already up, beautiful?" Followed by the question was Axel's hand soothingly running through her hair. "Jessica texted me, but when I call she didn't answer." He hadn't replied to her, he just got up out of bed. "What are you doing?" She watched as he removed his pajama pants and replace them with a pair of blue jeans that had already been in his floor. "We can go drive by her house and see if she wants to go shopping with us today." "But I don't know if she's home." "We'll see anyways." Popping out of bed she followed him out of his room.



Sitting in the front seat of the car she repetitively texted Jessica with messages like: Where are you? Would you like to go shopping with me? Is something wrong? After about the eighth text Axel took her phone from her. Barbie looked out the window with glistening eyes and a puppy dog pout. "You can do that all you want, you're not getting your phone back until we get to her house." She didn't try to get it back, nor did she say anything about it, she wasn't easily upset or saddened, she was just a little worried that Jessica wasn't answering her. It was odd for her girlfriend to not reply right away, but on the occasion she did, sometimes.

The car ride for a big sum of it was quiet, expect for their small conversations here and there and the fact that Axel kept the radio playing the whole time. Living on the island limited the stations they could listen to, there was three radio stations, all gospel all the time. Barbie was Christian in her own opinion, she knew that most people didn't agree with being attracted to the same sex, but she was. When she was younger she tried to trick herself into being straight, but as time went on she learned that God loved her for what and who she was.

"We're here." Those words brought Barbie out of her train of though and into a very uplifting mood, until she noted that Jessica's car was gone. "Her cars not here, she's gone." She wasn't really sad, but that life that had just reached her was drained. Axel pulled her into a hug and started messing up her hair was his knuckle. "Stop!" Giggling and squirming she took some time to wiggle away. When she got away the two teens shared a laugh before Barbie gave Axel a smile and then grabbed back her phone. Going through her recent calls she dialed Marius' number. "Hey, Marius, this is Barbie again. Axel and I are going shopping, would you like to come with us?' She was a little bummed out that she couldn't see Jessica, but she didn't want that to ruin her mood, so what better way to fix that then to spend time with some friends?
