So with knowing I am going to Utah at the end of the summer, with every passing day, I wanted the summer to speed up. But I also thought to myself that "If the summer speeds up, then you will go back to school sooner than expected. And you don't want that happen." So I settled with I would savor the summer, but when the time comes to go to Utah, I would be really ecstatic and crazy. So not 5 days after my graduation, we started our first drive of the summer. We were going to Florida. This is possibly one of my favorite vacation spots because it's so warm and comfortable. I've said multiple times I wanted to move here. We were going to Orlando, where Disney World is! I've always loved Disney World! Ever since I was little we went here and it never gets old. We're going to stay here for about a month just because we love it so much.
David's POV:
David: "And so guys, I'm going to play one last song for you. It's the first single off the new album and I know you guys know what it is!"
Then there's a raging applause from the audience and I begin to sing the newest song. I look out into the audience while I'm performing and read all the signs my loving fans are holding up "Marry Me, David!" comes up more than once. I hold back the laughs. "There's a reason for the world, you and I" And I become a little confused that they would remember I sang that from my Christmas From The Heart tour all those years ago. "Every time I see you, I feel like I'm falling awake into a beautiful dream" and I nearly burst out laughing on stage when I read that. Those may not be the lyrics, but it's actually a good message. I liked that saying. Before I know it, the music ends and I'm done with my show in Kansas. The crowd roars again and I blush.
David: "Thank you so much guys! You were a great crowd! Loved performing here! Goodnight and have a safe drive home!"
I left to go backstage and meet some fans who won backstage passes from a radio station.
Marcella: "Oh my gosh David! You are so great! I just love you!"
Christina: "Yeah, you are so nice and sweet."
Mark: "I really like you and all, but I'm just here with them." He motions over to the two girls who were just freaking out all over me. I laugh. It was actually kind of refreshing not having someone all over you.
David: "Well thank you girls. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you like my music. And you think I'm so nice because I was raised by wonderful people, so it's not all me." I blush and try to say it as carefully as I can.
Marcella: "Aww, you really love your parents, don't you?"
David: "Well of course I do. Everyone should." I laugh at the sort of silly question
Christina: "Can we take a picture with you?"
David: "Well of course!"
The two girls and one guy scoot up close to me, put on a big smile and we take a picture.
Marcella: "Can we take individual pictures with you?"
David: "Oh, why not!"
Christina: "Me first!"
Christina run up and wraps her arms around my shoulders. I become a little uncomfortabl, but I just deal with it. She takes the picture with me.
Marcella: "My turn!"
Marcella half jogs over to me and wraps her arms around my neck and smiles very widely. She does opposite of what her friend did. Mark takes the picture.
I say my goodbyes and head out to the bus. Next stop Orlando, Florida!
Virginia's POV:
I wake up late the next morning, well more like afternoon. It's like 2. For some reason I don't feel like getting out today.
Virginia (to myself): "It's vacation, do something. You only have 2 months a year for this."
So I decide to take a shower and go to the pool.
Virginia: "Mom, is it okay if I go to the pool?"
Dad: "Yeah, it's fine, dear."
Virginia: "Thanks. See ya later!"
They were busy watching the news. They just like doing that sometimes. So I grab my bathing suit and go into the bathroom to change. I wear a two piece, but it's not a bikini, I don't like them. I wear a kind of tankini, but it's not like that either. It has a tank and a skort, well, by now you get what I'm talking about. I gather my goggles, my sunglasses, my suntan lotion, my towel, my pool bag, iPod, cell phone, slip on my shoes and head out. We're not far from the pool so it only takes me about 3 minutes to get there. When I do arrive at my destination, I pick a chair that isn't fully in the sun and has some shade because my skin is a little too light to tan, it'll burn faster, haha. I apply some sunscreen and lay out in the sun. There was a really cool breeze, it felt nice on my skin. I lie in the sun for about twenty minutes, but get too hot so I go in the pool. I do this for a while. I stay there for more of the day. Until about 7 when I get a phone call from my mom saying it's dinnertime and I need to come back and get ready. We eat dinner about a half hour after I get back. We have pizza. (and I'm loving it, believe me, haha) After dinner, we sit down to watch the news. I am uninterested because let's face it, "Who actually cares about the celebrity's affairs." Every now and again I listen in because I find something interesting. Soon after the news starts, they announce something that indulges me into the news.
Marilyn (Co-Anchor): "And today fans from Florida gathered at the local Orlando mall for an early David Archuleta concert."
Me: "WHAT? HE WAS HERE?!!!"
Jacob: "The concert was at four, honestly, we do not have a reason, but his tour this time around was really early. I guess he wanted to change it up..." and he laughs "No, we really don't know why, but the shows were really early. Isn't this young man talented, Marilyn?"
Marilyn: "Absolutely, Jacob! Mr. Archuleta has got himself a voice, wouldn't you agree?"
Me: "Well duh, he's just the most talented singer around today! And maybe ever has been! How come I did not know this!!! I could have went...oh my gosh!" So I throw my head into the pillow on my bed...repeatedly...as if to punish myself for that. 'You are so bad! How could you? He was in the same city as you and you missed him! He was never that close!' This was turning out to be a really bad day, as you can see.
