5 Years Ago - Barcelona

•Madison

"Maddie, Can you please put your goddamn camera down and listen to me"

Looking up to my best friend as she raises her eyebrow looking like she's already done with me, chuckling at her as I put my camera down and slightly raise my hands in defeat.

"Okay, sorry, sorry, but you know you can tell me that without looking like a landlord who didn't get any payment from her tenant" sipping on my drink as she tipped her chin at me.

"I'm too hot to be a landlord" she gasps dramatically, making me smile. Well, that's true. Without any argument needed, My best friend is indeed a goddess.

"Hurry up, we'll be late to our flight."

"Seriously? Our flight is in three hours, and you're rushing me?"

She rolled her eyes and sit back to the bed, shaking my head at her while I grab my suitcase and put my camera in it. Together with my laptop, 4 pairs of clothes and 3 pairs of night gowns, underwear and some toiletries.

"Do you think your brother will be there?"

"Hazel, If you are going to simp over someone, please not Zane, He's no good for you sweetheart, trust me". I warned, making her chuckle.

"Idiot, I'm not interested in your brother. I just want him to scold you. Did you forget that I have a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, Your 2 years of internet love that you haven't even seen?" I said when she suddenly jolted up, making me look at her confused. "The fuck?"

"I almost forgot to tell you my surprise, We're meeting up. Finally, after 2 years" She clasped her hands together and rolled over my bed. "He said he'll also be in Barcelona for business, and we'll meet up once I got there"

"That's nice of him to ask for that. I really didn't expect you two to work out, like duh? A Long Distance Relationship is the last thing I want to do in my life."

"I don't really think you know how love feels because let me remind you-" she jumped on my back and wrapped her arms around my neck. "You've never had any decent boyfriend after your very first one, You bitch"

"It's enough, and for fuck's sake could you please stop bringing that bastard up? He's a shame. And for that looking-for-boyfriend thing you keep insisting, I already told you that I'm not interested, okay? Like for what? To get cheated on? Again? Bitch No."

"I'm really amazed by your trust issue"

"I am too" I chuckled at her and dropped her back to the bed. "Less talking, More Packing"

"Yes Mommy Maddie"

"Shut the fuck up, Hazel"

"Even I feel gross after saying that" she said while fake vomiting

3 Hours later - At the Airplane

Walking to my seat when I notice a man already sitting next to my seat. His perfectly fitted suit caught my attention. He looks like someone who belongs to the first class seat, but who am I to judge? I can also afford first class, but I prefer it here. Settling my coat down as I sat next to him. I got the seat next to the window and Hazel's seat right is behind me.

Do I hate my seat? Yes. Why? Because I'm afraid of heights. How come I can travel around the world? I overcame my fear 4 years ago, Not really. Am I still afraid of heights? Nope, but I'm having panic attacks every time I realize how high it is from where I am. Shit.
