BestSelf {book 2}

21.

The girls are leaving today, and I'm sad because I had gotten so use to them being here.

I appreciate them coming and staying with me for all this time though , I swear I wouldn't trade them for the world.

"Please call me !! Before I came down here I barely heard from you!" Kendall said

"Kendall we FaceTime like weekly?" I said

"Well weekly needs to be daily now" I laughed and gave her a hug because I know she's dead serious.

She's really becoming my best friend.

"I hope nothing will be weird between us if you do decide to come back" Lani said

"Of course not Lani I love you! And it's okay to have platonic relations" I winked

She smiled and hugged me tightly "I really hope while we're gone you're not gonna let them bother you so much" she added

"I'm not , I'm gonna keep my distance and focus on my peace" I told her

"Pinky promise?" She put up her pinky

"You know it's serious when a pinky promise is involved" Cassie commented

Lani nodded "exactly".

I rolled my eyes and pinky promised her.

"And don't hesitate to call me either Ti, I know our friendship has been a tad bit rocky but I do still consider you like a sister and I'm really sorry for everything and-"Cassie it's okay give me a hug of course we're gonna call each other more" Cassie was about to start rambling if I didn't stop her.

I pulled her into a tight hug and then they called Lani's flight to Oakland, California over the intercom.

We all group hugged and then watched her walk through the doors. Now we're waiting for Cassie's and Kendall's flight back to Philly and the Bronx.

"Aren't you guys flying together?" I asked "yup both to JFK" Kendall answered

"Good we love a travel buddy" I said "yeah because my first time on a plane I literally had a panic attack right before take off, my sister had to really give me the brown paper bag" Kendall told us

Cassie and I both laughed "planes don't frighten me, I've been in the Bronx my whole life and I want to travel the world so much so I don't let it bother me because I'm gonna live that luxurious rich aunt life" she smiled

"That's the perfect life for you" Kendall said "isn't it?" I agreed "see! It works out perfectly ! I'm already starting to fit the aesthetic" she grinned

I pulled both Kendall and Cassie into a hug and that's when the lady called their flight to JFK.

"Be safe and text me when you guys land, I love you" I told them

"We love you!" They both said and then started heading the direction of their flight.

I watched them disappear into the crowd then I turned around and saw Anthony.

"Where have you been all this time?" I asked him

"I have a cousin that lives in downtown Detroit so I was staying there" he said

"Why'd you dip out on us?" I asked him

I'm gonna keep asking him questions until I understand his reasoning for just up and leaving us.

"It was so much going on between you, Keenan , Korey and Bre ... I just , I don't like being around it" he said

I didn't know how to interpret that.
