you smile.

Am | you completely deserve this audrey. i'm so proud of you.

A | thank you.

B | bye homie. i'll cover your hours.

A | thank you bryce.

you give them all a hug before waving as you approach security. you've never flown alone. security went pretty smooth. you had terrible service and none of your texts would send. you sit in your terminal all alone eating chick-fil-a. you're stomach hurts. you poke around at your food when your phone buzzes. your texts went through. finally.

Payton

Audrey

Payton

Audrey

Payton

you board and find your seat and begin to look at your downloaded podcasts. the plane takes off and the boy sitting beside you says something. you take out an earbud.

A | what?

boy | oh, nothing.

A | okay.

you put it back in and look out the window when he says something again.

A | huh.

A | thank you.

you take our one of your earbuds again.

you talk with chase the whole flight there. he tells you a lot about what to expect in LA and even gives you his number to text.

A | thank you.

chase | no problem. thank you so much for talking to me. i'm glad i didn't sit by some old lady again.

you laugh and walk off the plane with him. you open your snap from payton. he said "meeting complete". you snap back a photo of you and chase saying "yayy!! how'd it go." you and chase get your bags and you have to say goodbye. you give him a hug as you part ways. on your way out of the airport a girl walks over to you.

anne | of course! do you have any other questions?

A | nope. that's all good. thank you.

anne | yup! see you in the morning. feel free to text me if you need anything.

you close the front door and are completely blown away by the size of the place. there's literally 3 bedrooms. you pick one and lay your stuff on the floor. you quickly call payton to celebrate with him.

P | heyyy!!

A | PAYTON!

P | WHAT!

you run down the stairs and show him.

P | that's crazy! you're not even going to use it.

A | well that makes me want to use it.

A | yes?!

P | you literally don't have food.
