The next day...
"6 hours?!" Anntonia shouted
"Ann, relax"
"Are you kidding me? No!" the younger girl continued to freak out.
"Ann, don't worry"
"Michelle, I'm not going to sit inside your damn car for 6 hours!"
Michelle looked at the younger girl and sighed. She knew well why Anntonia wouldn't even get near to a car.
"Listen, I won't let anything bad happens to you" Michelle said.
"I promise" she added.
Anntonia took a deep breath. Those eyes are the reason why she always gives in whenever Michelle asks something. She collected some courage before she steps inside the car that is waiting for her. The moment she sits, Michelle closed the door and dashed to the driver's seat. She looked over Anntonia who was taking deep breaths and shook her head upon noticing the unbuckled seat belt of Anntonia so she decided to put it on for her.
Anntonia was anxious about taking the 6-hour drive, she is never really a fan of cars and the only person who can make her sit inside that four-wheel drive is Michelle. Not even her parents.
She was overthinking the things that might happen to her or them during the long hours that she will spend sitting on that leather seat when suddenly she came face to face with the most beautiful girl, she had ever laid eyes on.
Now, not only her brain stopped working but also her whole respiratory system and to make it weirder her heart seems like procrastinating over a deadline that is due in about an hour.
"I told you to always fasten your seatbelt" Michelle said calmly before she sits nicely on her seat.
Anntonia was processing what just happened when she heard Michelle's voice again.
"Ann, breathe"
And she did.
"Here, you can take over my playlist so you can relax"
Anntonia eyed Michelle and played The 1975 album.
- Heart out by the 1975 is playing -

"So, this is the famous Reveland" Anntonia said when she opened the window and put her head outside to feel the fresh air.
They aren't in the city anymore and the country vibe from the place gave Anntonia a soothing feeling.
"It wasn't a WOW for me" she added.
"Don't tell that in front of Max" Michelle said.
"Max? You mean the Max Collins?" Anntonia said and shivered.
"Yes, that Max"
"Crap"
"Don't worry, she's getting married and she's happy. She probably forgot already how obsessed she was with you when we were in high school" Michelle said gritting her teeth upon remembering that darkest moment of her life.
"Oh well, you said so"
Anntonia once again looked out the window and let the cold air blow against her face. She felt good, she was close in taking back the words she said a while ago, as they were nearing the main road that leads them inside the so-called Reveland, Anntonia realized why the place was named like that. It was ethereal, there were trees and flowers, a lot more that what she's seeing in the city. It was really a place you can call a paradise.
