"Toothbrush?"

"Phone AND phone charger?"

"Yes."

"Underwear? Not the granny ones, the thongs."

"Yes--wait what?"

"Everyone has cute thongs they bring whenever they go somewhere, you don't want to shake some ass with your pantie lines showing."

I was mortified by Sydni's choice of words over the three way skype call early the next morning. Since we have a three hour time difference, I got up around six in the morning to double check my bag and suitcase, make sure I had all my important papers and of course to say bye to everyone. I was glad those two were night owls because I was losing my mind.

"I am so excited for you, you are starting a brand new life in a new place. Granted it's still in the same city, but just imagine the band has some hidden secret that you find out about." Tiana jokingly said, but that thought was always in the back of my mind.

What was that band really hiding? Why did the lead singer always go missing during certain concerts? Why did they hate the public light? What made them hate the president so bad all of their songs were based on corruption? Not only was I becoming a stylist, I was also becoming an interviewer for my own well-being.

"Imagine you fall in love with Hobie and have cute babies who turn out to be–"

"Okay, that's enough." I stop them mid-giggling, laughing behind my hand as I grab my phone off of the vanity and sit cross-legged on the bed for another few minutes. "I am not sure how my schedule will be, but I will try to keep you two updated on everything and send pictures, not that it will be any different than what I was already doing." I ignore the pit in my stomach about this decision once more. Deja told me I had the chance to decline the offer and stay being her intern, I just needed to come up with my answer in... ten minutes. If she didn't hear from me, I was going to go through it. If I texted her and told her that I declined, I had to come in at nine to help with another design.

I hear a honk outside the building and move to my feet to peer outside, down below is Vanity, Eliana and Monique all in their pajamas looking up at my window as they wave at me to come down. Saying one last goodbye to Tiana and Sydni, I quickly grab all of my things that I would be needing and head out the door and down the steps.

By the time I get down there, Eliana meets me halfway and takes my bags into her hands to move me along. All three of them give me a big hug, my arms are engulfing their bodies. I didn't know them long enough, and I am only moving not too far away; I knew seeing them would be harder now.

"Stay safe okay?" Vanity whispers into the hold.

"Always. I'll just be with the band on the opposite side of town. I will try to keep in touch with you all, especially since Moni made that group chat and is already sending 'I miss you' texts." I teased, looking down at her before shutting my eyes to take in the warmth of the three.
