the last goodbye || lauren and patrick

Patrick simply nodded at her words. He was anticipating the delicious treat now that Lauren had basically hyped him up for it. It wasn’t a bad thing, though. He had always appreciated her enthusiasm for the smallest of things. As they entered, his eyes observed the room, momentarily taking in the amount of people there were. “It’s extremely weird,” he responded. Shaking his head as she continued to question him, he raised his hand as they got into line to look at the many different flavors. “No, no,” he laughed. “We left early, way before you guys did. We stopped by a lot of places before we got to California. We’ve never been to Disneyland, so we just thought it’d be a good idea. We didn’t even know where you guys were going. After hearing that you guys were staying for a while, we decided to put off our trip for a couple of days to stay.”

Lauren took a small step forward as the line moved, feeling Patricks body close and next to her. With Remi leaving her and Addison as well, she was so appreciative with how easily Patrick made her feel safe. If someone really knew Lauren, they knew how uncomfortable she got when people talked about leaving her or straying away from her. Patrick didn't know about the other part of Lauren's life, but that didn't matter much. "Where else have you gone in California?" she asked him. If anything, the redhead looked up the Patrick and Matthew. They had been talking about going on a roadtrip for so long - after they had all graduated, and they stuck to it. Their friendship was something that not a lot of other people got. "That was nice of you guys! Have you liked it so far? I swear I've done absolutely everything in this entire place."

Pulling on a white v neck, Patrick buttoned up his dark jeans and slipped into a pair of shoes, grabbing his wallet and phone from the bed. "Where you going?" Matt asked, laying on his bed. “Out, with Lauren,” he responded, laughing a bit. “Lauren?” he echoed. “Red head?” “Yeah, she wants to hang out.” "Where?" “Ice cream, the one closest to us.” “—You’re going to bring me some right?” Matt insisted, a serious expression plastered on his face. “Yeah, whatever,” Patrick laughed, shaking his head as he left the room.

Patrick had to admit, he felt extremely glad that Lauren wanted to hang out with him. In high school, the two had a certain bond that, despite their lack of activities together, brought them closer through their small get together. It was a strange friendship of sorts— but a friendship nonetheless. He had always felt a bond with Lauren, and couldn’t wait to meet her again. Making his way to the parlor, Patrick immediately spotted Lauren as they both got closer to the door. “Hey, Laur, it’s good to see you,” he greeted, giving her a tight hug.

As soon as they made eye contact, Lauren let her arms open up for a big hug. Her petite body nuzzled into his and her cheek pressed against his chest. Being on the shorter side, usual hugs with Lauren were more cuddly than others. "It's good to see you too!' she said, her red lips curving up into a wide smile. "I heard this place was one of the best, okay?" she told the brunette next to her with a little nod. It was true, Lauren had gone on several little tours around Disney and each and every one had talked about how good the ice cream was. Lauren had to try it and from her experience back in Layton, Patrick was a great go to for an ice cream date.

"Don't take my word for it though - " she stated with a suppressed laugh. "I just heard it through the grape vine." Her hand pressed onto the glass door, opening space for the pair to walk into. "How weird is it that you're here, you know? Like - did you know we were coming to Disney first?" she asked him, her green eyes cocking upwards so that they could make eye contact. "You and Matty planned it like this, I'm assuming."

the last goodbye || lauren and patrick

Lauren was excited to finally be able to hang out with Patrick because only God really knew that she needed it. After graduation, the pair had made promises to each other about seeing each other during school and making sure to keep in contact. The redhead knew that things between them would stay friendly - like, they always were. He was an important person to Lauren, even if they hadn't spent that much time together during their high school year. The redhead grabbed a sweatshirt and placed it over a petite body, her feet slipping into a pair of flip flops. Alex had told her that it was a little breezy outside, which made Lauren happy. Her flush skin didn't really like the intense heat and it made the young girl a little bit uncomfortable.

The redhead made her way to the bottom of the hotel that they were staying her, her green eyes surveying for the nearest ice cream parlor. Hopefully Patrick knew which one she had been eyeing, there was really only one near where they were seeing. Having the brunette boy there in California with them - just appearing out of nowhere, it was funny to her. A lot of things in her life had been going on and she needed time away, space from the people who had left her. Her body began to move towards the near ice cream parlor, her eyes focusing on a male that was just making his way in. "Patty!" she called out, an excited tone slipping through her mouth.
