Soulmates

Chapter Thirty- Seven: Get Away

Shai's POV~
I arrive at my home, I haven't been here in ages. Quickly, I call my publicist saying I'm taking a vacation for a month. Hopefully she will understand and the media won't notice me gone.

I go to my closet, grabbing my suitcase and begin packing summer clothes, I'm traveling to Orlando, Florida to visit my old friend Sarah. She and I were best friends since Elementary School. Our families were close and always spent the holidays together.

My phone begins to ring, I beg for it not to be Theo. I glance and see its my mom, I hit answer and continue to pack.

"Shai baby, are you feeling alright?" She sounds worried.

"Mother I'm fine. I'm just taking a break from being a celebrity and returning to my normal life." I sigh, throwing a pair of shorts into my bag.

"Theo is very upset, you should at least take him with you." She says calmly.

"I can't keep doing this to him mom! His heart has been stomped on and his life is horrible ever since I've walked into it. He needs someone better!" I yell in frustration and grab my bathroom supplies.

"But he loves you, why should he find someone else?" She asks.

I realized I packed everything, got my wallet, keys, and bags ready.

"Because happiness is more important than forcing yourself to be in love. Good bye mother, I'll talk to you soon." I hang up the phone and leave my home.

I start my car, Sarah knows I'm getting on a plane in an hour. Theo will find someone he will be happy with and I'll get my get away. Everything is falling into place.

Theo's POV~

I don't know how to control what I'm feeling. Shai doesn't think I'm happy, that she basically ruined my life. God damn it, why would she ever believe that? She's selfless and never thinks of herself!

I won't find someone else, I'll be waiting for her. She's my soulmate! We will be together for one year in July! Two years of being friends! I can't imagine my life without her.

Yet, if she's going to take a trip then I will too. I haven't seen my family in a while and I'd like to talk to them. Maybe my brothers can help me get this topic off my mind. I'll just have to call my publicist to see if I can.

"Hey, Julie?" I greet my publicist.

"Hello Theo, what's up?" She answers.

"Any plans for me for the rest of the month?" I pray for a no.

Silence rolls by and then she says, "Actually, yeah! I got a call about a new movie deal that involves a perfect part for you! It's a romance/suspense. It's directed by Penny Marshall!"

This was not the answer that I was looking forward too but something inside me begins to feel warm. As if this movie could get my mind off things and once it is over, Shai will be back with me.

"I'll take it." I smile and say my goodbyes.

Shai's POV~

I finally arrive at the airport, I decided to text Theo letting him know I am okay and just visiting my old friends in Orlando. He responded, "Stay safe and don't have too much fun."

I'm glad that he didn't try to persuade me to come back, it's too late anyways. I'm boarding my plane right now and I'm going to take a long needed nap. However, once I find my seat I begin to feel ill. I rarely get plane sick so I'm confused.

Instead of worrying about it, I take my Advil and rest my head back. I can finally relax and be by myself for sometime. I cannot control my excitement to hang out with my friends, it's nice to know that they love me for me and not for publicity.

My eyes gently close and I drift off into a deep sleep. Dreams await me and I know someone will wake me up when it's time to get off. For now, I'm going to get away.

_______~Five Hours Later~______

A flight attendant had nudged my shoulder, making me realize we have finally landed. I must have been really tired if I slept for five hours. I grab my carry ons and head to security check.

No fans or paparazzi are in sight, thankfully they haven't realized that I'm gone. Sarah said to meet her at her studio apartment, about twenty miles away.

"Miss Woodley?" The limo driver greets me.

I nod my head and thank him for taking my bags. It would have been fine for me to take a taxi cab but this will do too.

Sarah had explained that she's going to take me out to Disney World, tour art museums because she is an artist herself, and visit our old friends at the beach. Orlando is similar to California but it's so calm and less hectic.

After half an hour, I arrived at Sarah's apartment. She is only 20 minutes away from the beach and I can't wait to dip my toes into the water.

"Shailers!" Sarah jumps off her porch and lands into her bushes when she sees me get out of the limo.

"That's your friend?" The limo driver chuckles.

"I know exactly what you mean." I giggle and run over towards her.

I find her stuck in between sunflowers and sticks in her hair. She has a huge smile on her face even though she has dirty scattered across her body.

"You okay crazy bird?" I pull her out.

Sarah manages to only receive minor cuts since she's wearing a tang top and blue jean shorts.

"I am now! I can't wait to bring you back into your normal life for a month!" She exclaims pulling me inside.

"I can't wait either." I sigh and follow her in.
