The beginning of the ending

Chapter 2

-

I woke up just in time to hear the announcement from the kind flight attendant 'we will be landing in New York City in 10 minutes' I smiled when I heard the announcement, im finally away I thought. I look at my phone to check the time and it said 3pm it was the time difference I didn't mind because 1- I just slept for 8 hours 2-gives me more time to explore after I check in at the hotel.while I was waiting to collect my suitcase,I ordered a taxi so that it'll be outside by the time I left the airport,I've collected my suitcase and I'm waiting outside the airport. The taxi is late, so I sit on my suitcase and light a cigarette,I took a long drag of it. 5 minutes later the taxi arrives,the driver helps me put my suitcase into the back of the car and sat behind the driver.the driver tries to make small talk with me but I'm not a person that tends to engage in small talk so I kindly tell him I'm jet lagged knowingly I'm not jet lagged and put my headphones on and played some music.it started to rain, I stared out of the window and saw all of the tall buildings and the busy streets.it was just like the movies the whole cliche of it all made me laugh.

The taxi stopped outside this rickety apartment,it looked like no one cared for it 'be careful,this city ain't nice as you think'the driver said as I handed him the money .Thank god I saved up enough for the first two month of rent for a apartment otherwise I would be homeless.I met the landlord at the door and he showed me to my door,'13' my lucky number maybe this is a sign. The landlord was kind enough to help me put my bags in my hallway and tell me what I need to know about the area. The landlord said one last thing before he left 'You can do whatever you want to do but,There is one rule.do not go into room 54' I simply nodded my head and locked the door behind him. The flat was already furnished so there wasn't much to buy,just decorations to spruce up the mood in this flat.I put my suitcase onto my bed and grabbed my wallet and left to get some food.

New York was as I always imagined,busy,no one cared for who I was. It was amazing.i walked the streets clueless,I stopped to look on my phone to see where the shops were when a girl my age bumped into me and dropped all her stuff. 'Sorry' I yelped,I dropped to the floor and picked up all her bags. I read the names on her shopping bags it all read Gucci,Chanel,Dior wow someone rich I thought.I handed over her bags and apologised multiple times,the girl seemed not to care,she was too focused on me.she softy smiled and reached her hand out and introduced herself 'my name is Reign,what's yours?'.'Heather,I'm really sorry about making you drop your things' she giggled and said it was ok and it was no harm.she started to walk away and before it was too late I called out to her.she stopped and stared at me.'by any chance do you know where i could buy some food ?' I asked. She started to laugh almost as if she knew I was new to NYC,'follow me I know a great place '. I quickly caught up with her and followed her to this 'great place' she talked to me a lot and asked many questions ,we ate at this sushi bar it was absolutely lush. We stayed in the sushi bar for hours talking about everything I kept my story short and simple so she wouldn't know the secrets. We exchanged phone numbers and socials and we soon realised it was late evening when we were finishing up.I offered to pay for the food but she refused to take my money.her car pulled up outside the sushi bar, she had her own driver and everything it was so cool.she dropped me off at my apartment and as we were saying our goodbyes she look at my apartment and looked at me and gave me a piece of paper with an address on it and said 'come to this address tomorrow and I'll sort some things with you' I just nodded I didn't know why she wanted me to come there.after all I just did meet her,she could be a serial killer for all we know.But I have a good feeling about her. I locked up my door and went to my bedroom and dropped onto my bed I was too tired to change into pyjamas and the next thing I know I'm dozing off and my eyes are to weak to keep them open.
