Mentor (Johnny Depp)

Chapter 10

*ring ring ring*

I groaned as the familiar, and irritating sound of my ringtone played. I slapped my hand on the bedside table, searching for my phone to put it on silent. I checked who the caller was and it was Ophelia.

"Hello?" I groggily answered

"Bianca! What the hell, I've been trying to call you all morning!" She scolded at me through the phone, making me distance my phone from my ear.

"I was asleep" I yawned

"Well wake up and come pick me up from the airport!"  She said

"What?" My mind was still a fog, and half asleep, I could not process any information right now.

"I'm at the LA airport and I need you to come pick me up!" She once again yelled through the phone.

I immediately sat up on my bed, my hair sticking to the sides of my face, excitement ran through my body, was Ophelia really here, in LA, at the airport?!

"Oh my god, you're here? In LA?" I asked in disbelief

"Thats what I said dumbass, now please come pick me up " Ophelia laughed at my reaction

"I'm on my way, see you soon, love you!" I quickly said before hanging up.

After yesterday, I felt so alone, so tired, but Ophelia being here already lifted my hopes up. Ophelia was the only person I could ever confide in, knowing I wouldn't be judged, she has helped me get through my dads alcoholism, my depression, and so many more things. Ophelia was definitely the person I needed right now.

I quickly got changed and brushed my teeth, then I realized I don't have a ride.
I could ask Johnny but I really don't want to speak to him yet. I know eventually I have to, but right now I was more focused on Ophelia.

Fuck, how am I supposed to get to the airport?
I turned on my phone to see if I could call an uber, then I saw a text from Mateo

"Good morning! Hope you slept well! :) -Mateo

Mateo

Maybe I could ask him to give me a ride? I could pay him money for gas and it wouldn't be as expensive as an uber..
My finger hovered over the little telephone symbol near Mateos name, I hated the thought of Ophelia waiting at an airport for so long after a flight, so I pressed the button.

It rang about two times before Mateo answered

"Hey Bianca! How are you doing?" He cheerfully answered.

"Hi Mateo! I'm doing good thanks, I was just calling to see if your doing anything right now?" I asked

"Nah, I'm not busy right now, what's up?" He replied

"Well first, you can totally say no if you don't want to or you can't, it's totally understand and I don't want you to feel obliged to do me a favor or anything, but anyways, I was wondering if you could give me a ride to the airport to pick up a friend?" I nervously rambled, I hated bothering people.

"Of Course! I'll be over in a bit" Mateo sweetly answered, I'm guessing he noticed the bit of anxiety I had about asking him.

"Alright see you soon! Text me when you're here" and with that I hung up the phone and anxiously waited for his text.

Johnny's POV
I stayed up all night trying to think of how to get Bianca to talk to me. I know I fucked up, majorly fucked up, and I don't know how to fix this. If only she wasn't so goddamn stubborn.
I cant say I blame her, I know I'm at fault, and that I hurt her.
I began making breakfast, I heard some shuffling upstairs so I know she's awake. If she doesn't want to come down for breakfast I'll just bring it up to her. I made crepes this morning, they're my specialty.
I poured in a little bit of the batter onto the skillet, and then I heard rapid footsteps down the stairs, where is she going now? I thought.
