I awoke from my slumber when I heard someone banging on my door. I hopped out in only my black lingerie. Can't judge! Anyway, I walked lazily towards my bedroom door, when I reached it I slowly opened it and stuck my head out into the hallway. There stood my roommate/ best friend holding the phone to her ear. When she saw me, she smiled and pointed to the phone and mouthing 'It's for you' I grabbed the phone from her and walked back towards my bed.

Phone Convo

'Hello this is Violet speaking.' I said in the happiest chirpiest voice I could master. Which ended up sounding so fake.

'Hello Violet, I have some terrible news to tell you.' The lady on the phone said. I froze scared at what she was going to say. 'Should I continue?' She asked.

I nodded but knew she couldn't see me. 'Yes please.' I said barely above a whisper.

'Well it seems that your mother has been in a horrible car accident. She has a possibility that she doesn't have much time left.' The lady responded. I froze and then made a sound that indicated that I was going to cry. At that moment Rachel my friend walked in and saw my face. She ran over to me and hugged me as tight as I could. She grabbed the phone off me and continued the conversation with the lady. When Rachel was finished talking to the lady she put the phone down and wiped my tears away. Then said the most perfect thing you could say at that time.

'Vi, we are heading to New York in the morning. We are going to see your mum.' She stated. I smiled and nodded. She is a good friend. 'Hey, I know you hate it when people say this, but you will be ok.' She said and wiped the rest of my tears away.

1 Hour Later

When Rachel and I were finished packing we walked down stairs to where our puppy was waiting. 'Where are we taking her?' I asked Rach.

'I'm taking her to Ashton's place. He said he could take care of her.' She said then smiled. 'Anyway, I'm not gonna stay long, you can, but not me. I have work.' She stated.

After we packed everything in the car, I put Socks (aka my puppy) in the back seat and then jumped into the passenger side of Rachel's car. We then headed to Ashton's place which was only 10 minutes away, thankfully. We both got out, I grabbed Socks and followed Rachel into Ashton's place. 'We're here.' Rachel shouted.

Ashton popped from around the corner and came and hugged both of us. He looked at me with a sad face, but I gave him a reassuring smile. He nodded and hugged me tighter. He let go of me and took the dog supplies from Rachel's hands and I put socks down on the ground. Immediately she went crazy and started running around the place. Rachel and I gave out a little giggle and followed Ashton in the kitchen. He placed 3 wine glasses on the counter and poured some Mastroianni Brunello di Montalcino. I picked up my glass and sipped at it while Aston and Rachel were talking, mainly about the puppy and what we were going to do.

After we finished off our 3rd glass of wine, Rachel and I had left heading towards our destination, the airport.

I then thought of all the times I had spent in New York. I truly did love and want to go back to New York again, but I also didn't. For the reason of being in love.

The man broke my heart and ruined me. I tried my hardest to replace him over the 2 years away from him, but it's hard. Hard to find someone who truly loves you and doesn't just want you to be your sex buddy or a booty call at that. It's hard to find a guy who isn't sexist or disrespects you. It's hard to find the one you want to love.

I was in deep thought when we arrived at the airport, but with a nudge from Rachel I arose. I looked at her and she said, 'It's time to leave.' I nodded and got out of the car. I then walked around the car to the boot and grabbed my stuff.

When we finally finished getting through everything and everyone we sat down and waited for our plane to be called out. Rachel grabbed my hand and asked, 'Are you doing ok?'

'Yea, I just can't get it through my mind that my mum is in the hospital.' I said looking at the ground. I took a deep breath to stop myself from crying again.

'Well this gives me a chance to see America for the first time.' Rachel said looking at a poster of what they called 'America'.

'Rachel you do understand that America is completely different.' I said laughing slightly at her. She was shocked by my answer and smacked my arm. I laughed even more and said. 'You're acting like a child.' I said poking her arm.

She poked her tongue out at me, but then smiled when she heard our flight being called out. 'Come on girl our flight is here.' She shouted. I shook my head side to side when I saw her running down the aisle.

Halfway through the plane ride Rachel and I had fallen fast asleep but were both interrupted when the flight attendant woke both of us up. Telling us to put our seat belts on because we were landing. 'Vi, can you believe we're in America.' She screamed, earning shut ups' from around the plane. We both laughed, and I nodded.
