Chapter 0267

I wanted to say something to reassure her that it wasnt going to happen to her , but at the same time , I couldnt guarantee that .

She was right ; she could end up like me and I was selfish for putting her in that position .

I was also hurt that she said such a terrible thing to me .

I clamped my mouth shut and faced forward , staring at my water bottle as if it held the answers to everything She sighed and turned bac towards the window .

I didnt want to spend this flight fighting with my best friend , but I felt tears burning in my eyes and I couldnt quite face her right now without breaking apart .

At some point , I thankfully fell asleep .

I was only woken when my ears once again felt as if they were going to explode , and the plane began to dip low .

I opened my eyes , gripping the arm rest tightly as the plane began to land .

Once we officially touched the ground , I let out a breath of relief .

The seatbelt light turned off and they allowed us to leave the plane by section .

Once we were safely off the plane , I felt like I could kiss the ground .

Nan and I had barely spoken since our argument earlier and even as we walked over to baggage claim , I could still f * e the strain on our relationship .

She was quiet and I knew she was lost in thought , just as I was .

We got our luggage and started towards the exit .

I was bracing myself for the hot air , but nothing could of prepared me for it .

I could hardly breathe when we went from the AC and into a heatwave .

What now ? Nan asked as she looked around , seemingly comfortable in her element .

She always liked the heat ; summer was her favorite season .

I guess we get a cab to the hotel , I said , pulling out my phone and bringing up the email that Levi Churchill sent me a few days ago .

It had the hotel information ; it was only a few miles away from the airport and near the beach , so it shouldnt take us long to get there .

Heres the address for the resort , I said , pointing at it .

Nan nodded and turned towards the busy streets .

Leave it to me , she said confidently .

She walked towards the curb and whispered , holding up her hand .

In seconds , a cab was stopping in front of her .

She grinned and glanced over her shoulder at me .

I was always good at getting a cab back in the city , she explained .

Before I got my car that is .

I chuckled and grabbed my things off the ground , rushing towards the cab .

The Cab driver was kind enough to pop his back trunk and get out of the car to help with our luggage .

Just as we were about to get into the cab , I caught a glimpse of Sammy sitting on one of her suitcases looking exhausted and defeated .

She was staring at her phone with a deep frown and tears clear in her eyes .

Sammy ? I called after her .

She lifted her gaze to meet mine and forced a small smile .

Oh , hi , she said softly .

Is everything okay ? I asked as I walked over to her , motioning for the cab driver to hold on a second .

Nan stayed by our things and the cab to make sure no one else took it .

Not really , Sammy sighed .

My boyfriend was supposed to come and pick me up , but something came up and hes unable to get here .

Do you need a ride ? I asked her .noveldrama

She raised her brows .

Really ? She asked .

I nodded .

Im assuming hes at the resort , right ? I asked .

You can ride with us .

We are heading there now .

She nodded quickly .

Yes , that would be great .

Thank you ! She breathed .

I helped her with her things and once the cab was filled with our belongings , we all got in .

Sammy of us three , so she sat in the middle .

y was t the smaller I told the cab driver the address and he plugged it into the GPS .

Just as we were driving off , something caught my eye .

There were a ton of paparazzi surrounding someone that I couldnt quite see .

They were flashing their cameras and asking them questions .

I strained my neck to get a glimpse of what was going on , but I could hardly see around the large crowd , and we were too far away .

I wonder whats going on over there , Nan said , following my gaze .

I shrugged .

Who knows , I muttered .

Probably some rich jerk .

She nodded in agreement , and we rested for the next 20 minutes until we reached the biggest and prettiest resort I had ever seen .
