"Toni! Come on your flight is in 30 minutes! Get your ass up," Toni wakes up to screaming and the warm covers thrown off of her body, making bumps appear on her smooth skin.

Yawning, she looks up to see the face of her best friend for 19 years; Ny'India.

Ny'India, with her freckles, her beautiful smile and her easy going yet truthful aura, you would never guess the way she acts when alone, yet here she is, screaming, cursing and tearing sheets off of a person.

Putting her slippers on, Toni stands and makes her way to her closet. "What time is it?," she ask while gathering a black pair on pants, a grey hoody and her black converse.

"4:36" Ny'India answers, grabbing one of Toni's bags and walks out the door.

With her fast (slow) speed, she runs into the bathroom, taking a quick shower. After she's finished, she dry herself and dress, deciding to let her brown hair air dry. She also brushes her teeth and hair, putting no make-up on.

Grabbing the rest of her bags, she run towards the door, but put the bags down and run back into the room, taking her wallet and phone and tucking both inside of her back pockets, but not before she checked the time on her phone,

"4:43"

Running back she noticed that none of the bags are in front of the door knowing that Ny'India must have took them to her car.

She walk down stairs to their small apartment, taking in all the good and bad memories that this house held before she shut the door and locked it.

When she turn to her friends Honda accord, she sees that Ny'India is in the driver's seat on her iPhone.

The drive was not silent like she thought it would, most of it was with Ny'India screaming and crying all the way to the airport.

After getting her ticket, she wait for the flight to California to be called. London to America, better yet, California, is a long way to go, so she talks to Ny'India until its time to go.

"I can't believe you are leaving," Ny'India says, blowing into another tissue, before she can speak, Ny'India continues, " I mean, you will just leave me with Eric and Preston while you are in America, studying while I have to beat the crap out of both of your brothers" Toni chuckles, grabbing Ny'India by the arm and rest her head on Toni's shoulder, letting her cry.

Toni has Three siblings, Peyton Michelle and Preston Mikhail, the first born, are twins, both are 26 years old, Eric Kennedy is after them, at the age of 23, and last, at the age of 20 is she, Toni Chardai Todd.

Preston is a music producer, Eric is a doctor and Peyton is a Middle school teacher. Peyton is married to a guy named Hardin, has two children. Eric is single, Preston is in a relationship with a girl named Lily and Toni, well she was never in a relationship in the first place.

Their mom left at the age of six and their dad had to raise them, unfortunately, he died four years ago by an home burglary.

When they call her plane, she hugs Ny'India one last time, promising that she will call her when she gets there.

Climbing up the stairs, she find a seat in the front near the window. She take the seat and close her eyes, ignoring the lady as she give us instructions before the plane starts.

Before the plane took off, some guy taps her shoulder, making she open her eyes only to be met with persisting brown eyes, looking back her, but it feels like he is looking into her soul, not just her grey eyes.

"Ma'am, what its your problem?" The mystery man asks. Her voice is laced with confusion as she asks him, "sir, what are you talking about?"

Instead of answering, he just looks at her with cold brown eyes and just turn around, looking outside of the window.

Dismissing the strange event, she close her eyes, not even realising the dramatic turn her life is about to take.
