"I'm so sick of this FAKE LOVE! FAKE LOVE! FAKE LOVE!!!!?!" Bailey sings loudly, as I cover my ears from her atrocious singing.

Hey, everything can't be good about a person right?

"Tone it down a little, will you?" I say through gritted teeth.

"Can't, it's BTS BABYYYY!!!" Bailey shouts, as she continues singing in that horrendous way. And Juan seems to like this.

"Yeah fine, whatever!" I say, looking out the window.

I keep touching my locket for some reason.

Gosh it's so pretty.

Adam's an awesome man, the boyfriend everybody wishes for, but nobody has.

So, why?

Why can't my heart love him?

I know I know, I did say that I had feelings for him, I fell hard for him, but were those feelings real?

No. Ofcourse they were!

I was in love with Adam, and still am, period.

"Bailey?" I say quietly.

"Hm?" She asks, looking back at me, turning around.

"Um, doesn't matter. I'll ask you later." I say, as Bailey looks at me, confused, but lets it slide.

"Sure." She says, reaching out to squeeze my hand. I squeeze it back gratefully.

"What is it boss?" Anya asks me, concerned.

"Tch, it's nothing! Don't look so glum Anya, we can't look glum when we're going to a fricking Billionaire's wedding, so let's all cheer up, because we've got work to do!" I tell her, smiling.

"I know boss, but please, never hide your emotions, it's good to let it all out once in a while," Anya says seriously.

"Do I really seem so sad?" I ask, sarcastically.

Anya rolls her eyes slightly, not engaging in further conversation as I giggle.

I close my eyes, and think.

What about?

I don't know, just life. How it'll take it's turn.

Yes yes, I'll stop being so goddamn philosophical.

"How much longer?" Bailey whines as Juan, who's having a difficult time navigating on the Maps, looks at her.

"Search me. Uh- here, it says, about an hour and a half? Yeah." Juan says, looking ahead.

"Ugh, that's a long time, can anyone tell me if there's anything fun we can do now?" Bailey asks, fidgeting.

"Gosh kiddo, quit whining. Just try to sleep, we'll wake you up when we get there," Jay says, removing an air pod from his left ear, looking at Bailey, clearly annoyed.

"Who're you calling a Kiddo? Watch out Jay, your boss is actually my best friend. One word with her, and I'll have you fired!" Bailey says, intimidatingly.

"Heh, Boss wouldn't do that to me, would you boss?" Jay asks me, looking nervous, yet trying to maintain his cool composure.

I stare at him coldly.

"So you would??" He asks, removing both of his air pods and looking at me directly, heart thudding.

I can't stare coldly for long.

I burst out laughing.

"Joke, Jay. Seriously!" I say to him, giggling.

"Ah..oh, amusing! Very amusing boss," Jay says crossly, as I splutter with laughter.
