kavia's pov

it felt easier to breathe as i drove down the highway on the way to mariana's house. i had my playlist playing, the windows cracked even though it was january. even though i was nervous for what i was planning to do, i felt much more excited at the moment. me and mariana snuck out and drove around at night many times, dreaming of going on a road trip together one day. that day is sooner than i thought.

i slowly pulled up next to her house and texter her.

mariana ❤️

kavia: i'm here

i saw the door open and mariana came out with a duffel bag and a small purse.

"hey kav," she said opening the backseat door and putting her back next to the cooler. "what's this for?" she asked looking up at me.

"um. i'll tell you when we start driving." i said looking back at her nervously.

"okay... if you plan to murder me and use that to store my organs please tell me now so i can run," she laughed.

i smiled as she got in the front seat. i typed an address into my phone and put it back on the holder before driving out of her neighborhood.

"is that the address that was on your phone the other day?" mariana asked glancing at my phone.

i bit the inside of my cheek thinking of an answer.

"where are we going kavia?" she asked looking at me.

"look mar, i didn't wanna tell you before because i thought you would say no. but i wanna drive to new york city," i said glancing her way.

her jaw dropped. "you're joking kav," she said with her eyes wide. she turned her body to face me and turned the music down. "you're taking me to new york city? right now?? is that what all that stuff back there is for?"

i looked at her carefully and sighed.

"are you crazy?" she asked sinking in her seat a little.

"cmon mar. it'll be so fun! we can stay with my sister. have fun in the city, go shopping, take pictures. i brought everything we need to survive, trust me i made a list i've been thinking about this for a few weeks-"

"does your dad know?" she said cutting me off.

"i left a note." i said quietly.

"oh my god kavia," she sighed.

"what?" i asked getting slightly angry.

"who are you? because the kavia i know would never even think of doing this,"

i took a deep breath. "i don't know mari. i just need to do this. i'm going to go crazy if i don't. i want to travel and have fun and get away. and if my dad drags me back and kills me then so what i want it to be worth it. so do you want me to turn around and take you home and go alone, or do you wanna have fun with me?" i asked looking at her for a second.

she sighed, "you know i'm going with you kav. always, i'm your best friend and you're taking me with you wherever you go. and you're right it will be fun. does your dad know i'm with you?"

"i added it in the note." i stated biting my lip.

"fuck. let's just hope he doesn't call my mom."

"yeahhhh" i said dragging it out.

"hes definitely gonna tell my mom," she said laughing.
