it’s always been inside of you || 4th july
Central Park was brimming with people, as expected on an event like tonight’s. Ella smoothed down her red, white and blue striped dress, the one she and Josie had made up especially for the celebrations. All the Mitchell women and men were gifted with some form of patriotic clothing ready for the Central Park firework display - it was an unspoken tradition.
She had waved goodbye to Melody earlier on and was now in search of Darren, Bonnie and Luke, knowing they’d be around here somewhere. She ducked through the crowd, apologizing politely and profusely to anyone she knocked along the way.
Finally catching sight of some familiar faces, she rushed over, brimming with excitement over the firework show she was about to witness. She’d always loved fireworks, even more so after the events of New Years the year before last. However, tonight was not for dwelling in the past - apart from the far away past, Declaration of Independence and all that.
She caught Luke’s arm, flashing a smile to Darren and Bonnie. “Hey guys! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”
