'"...a fresh start, a change for the greater good."'

As Clementine and Remi escaped the sea of people by baggage claim they started to weave their way to the eastern exit. Remi wouldn't let Clemmie see the light of day until she knew what happened back there, just moments ago. 

"Clemmie, you have to tell me. What happened? He is really fit-" Remi was cut off.

"You. My darling friend. Have a boyfriend." 

"Im not talking about him for me. I am saying he is fit for you, he isn't really my type.He is not-." Remi said shaking her head, going on and on as they made their way through the sliding doors to be greeted by the infamous British weather. "Anyway, you are single."

"Not. I am not single ." She pressed her hands to her cheeks, trying to hide from reality and discomfort. 

Remi thought for a second before responding to her friend who broadcasts pain. "It doesn't mean that you can't live your life. You cannot just put your life on hold for one person."

She gave a half shrug, just trying to leave the conversation there, "Can we just deal with it later. I wanted to come to London to forget about Cash, not bring the thought of him wherever I go."

"I'm sorry but it may not seem that easy." Remi second guessed her sentence, she tried to comfort her friend, "We can get mango ice cream though, comfort food?"

"Yes. Most defiantly adding that to the shopping list." Clemmie perked up at the sound of comfort food. "O, and a baileys."

"Maybe not, you are still hangover."

As she was laughing with Remi she saw Freya leaning against a car looking down at her phone typing away. 

"Remi, quick." She took her friends arm and pulled her bags along, "Freya!" She shouted as loud she could muster, her throat aching from last nights drinking events. She got many odd looks from people who looked tired, but Clemmie didn't care, she was finally laying eyes on her best friend in 10 years. 

When she moved to Paris, at the age of seventeen, about 6 months in Freya came to visit and a month after Clemmie went to England. Soon after they started to lose contact when she got more modelling jobs and moved into the apartment with Remi and Genevieve. So she was super excited to be able to see her everyday for years. 

"Clemmie!" Freya looks up, chucking her phone into the open window. Freya screamed with double the enthusiasm Clementine put in. They both started running to meet in the middle. Freya slightly lifting up Clemmie brining her into a tight hug.

"Omg, I can't believe this is real." Her voice screeched extremely high.

"Jesus, I've missed our hugs. I've missed you a ton too!" Pulling away Freya spoke, "Omg you are even shorter than you were last time. You shrunk."

"Nah, you have just grown taller." We both grew best of friends in a matter of milliseconds. Remi suddenly coughed behind the two 27 year olds. "Oh yes, this is my bestie, Remi."

"Hello it's nice to finally meet you." They both said at the same time, earning many laughs from the three girls combine as the two pulled each other into a hug.
