     Sarah and Becky run through the airport trying to catch up with Lizzie and Robbie.

     "This goddamn orangutan is so big, it's slowing me down" Becky says as she tries to keep the orangutan from falling.

     "Why did you even bring that stupid thing" Sarah says as she rushes through the airport.

     "It's Lizzie's! You think (Y/N) is going to want this after everything that just happened."

     Sarah and Becky continue to rush through the airport until they are close enough to where Lizzie and Robbie will hear them.

     "Lizzie! Don't you dare do this" Sarah shouts trying to get Lizzie's attention.

     Lizzie quickly turns around at the sound of her name. Her are eyes are puffy and red, showing she has been crying.

     "What are you two doing here?" Lizzie asks as she sniffles.

     "I can't let you get on that plane" Sarah says as she approaches Lizzie.

     "Excuse me, but you are not her fiancée. She is coming home with me" Robbie says as he puts his arm around Lizzie's waist.

      "Oh I'm sorry Robbie, is your name suddenly Lizzie? I didn't think so. She can speak for herself" Sarah says as she raises her voice.

     "You know what, leave it Sarah. If Lizzie really wanted to stay she would. Here's your orangutan Lizzie" Becky says as she aggressively hands Lizzie the orangutan.

     Sarah looks at Becky confused by what she was doing. Becky shakes her head at Sarah, telling her to back off.

     "Good bye Liz" Becky says as she turns and leaves Sarah, Lizzie, and Robbie.

Sarah tries one last time, "please Liz."

     Lizzie just looks at the ground, unable to answer Sarah.

     Sarah shakes her head and leans in to give Lizzie a hug goodbye.

    "Please call me when you get back. I need to know you're safe" Sarah whispers into Lizzie's ear.

     Sarah pulls back and watches as Lizzie gives her a small smile and nods her head. She watches as Lizzie and Robbie head over to their terminal and get on the plane back to California. Sarah places her hands on the sides of her hips and takes a deep breath. She begins to make her way out of the airport to meet Becky.

     "We are going to head back now. We will be there soon" Sarah hears as she approaches Becky who is outside the airport.

"Was that (Y/N)?" Sarah asks Becky.

     "Yeah, I wanted to call her to tell her what happened and to check on her" Becky says as she flags down a taxi.

"And? How did she seem?"

      "Honestly, I think she's fine. Or at least she's hiding her true feelings from me. I don't think it's truly hit her yet."

      Becky flags down a taxi and Sarah and Becky enter the taxi to head back to the hotel.

      You're currently sitting on your bed eating the pizza and cheesy bread you ordered watching a movie on the tv.

      "Well, at least I didn't pay for the hotel rooms tonight" you say out loud to yourself.

     Suddenly, the door to the connecting room swings open and both Sarah and Becky rush in.

     Sarah and Becky stand still in the room, watching you eat the pizza on the bed.
