Rose sighs as her sister hesitates.
Zoya contemplates whether she should leave or actually stay this time. Her mind is still drawn to staying with Zach. However, she thinks about Rose and how she is feeling. I can't leave Rose like this. I have to go with her.
"I'm ready to go with you." Zoya whispers.
"Are you sure?"
Zoya nods to Rose. They then grab their belongings and head to a side door, which is more discreet to sneak out through.
Rose and Zoya find themselves walking on the streets of Los Angeles.
"Hey, maybe we should find a bus station to get away from here." Zoya asks, searching for stations nearby.
"I think that would be best. We could go home with the amount of money we've got. But if we don't find a way home from here, I'm afraid we'll run out of money and they'll probably find us too soon." Rose replies.
"Let's hope they've got a route back to Toronto."
"Hey, we got our passports, don't we?"
"Yeah, I remember packing them."
The girls get to a Main Street where they find a bus station a few hours later.
They find that they, in fact, do have a bus that goes back to Toronto. The trip would be about two and a half days.
Zoya walks up to the ticket counter and buys two tickets back home.
An announcer at the station alerts through the speakers, "THE BUS TO TORONTO LEAVES IN 10 MINUTES."
The girls quickly run to find their bus.
Once they found their bus, they saw a man standing outside the door checking the passengers' passports. Rose opens their bag to pull out their passports.
Rose hands Zoya her passport. Zoya shows her passport and ticket, and then she walks over to her seat.
Rose suddenly realizes she had forgotten her passport in her other bag at the beach house. Oh no! How could I forget my passport?? Rose's chest starts pounding.
"Are you going to get on the bus?" The man asks.
"I-I forgot my passport. Can I just show you a picture of it?"
"No passport, no entry."
"Can I at least go in and get my sister?"
Rose walks to the door, but the man stops her. Rose tries to yell for her sister, but the man pushes her away from the door and closes it.
Zoya falls asleep in her seat.
The bus leaves, leaving Rose behind.
Rose's eyes begin to tear up. She doesn't know what to do. Rose panics for about 20 minutes, and then she walks over to an alleyway. How will I get back to Zoya? What do I do? Rose sits down in the alleyway and cries.

At the beach house:
Lonokai wakes up at 8 in the morning. He sees Veronica sleeping and decides to go see Zach.
He walks over to Zach's room to find him sleeping like a baby.
Hmm, should I let him sleep? Nahh.
Lonokai grabs a pillow and smacks Zach.
He bolts awake after being hit, "ARGH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING DUDE. ISN'T IT LIKE 6 IN THE MORNING?" He yells.
