Bet On Us 2: Love Me Or Don't

17. New York

That evening, I had brought 2 monster energy drinks, for my flight.
I needed caffeine in my life, I double checked that I had packed everything, I couldn't believe that I was going to New York.
Even if I want to live up there, Robert don't have to know, besides, I think I need a new adventure of my own.
Why didn't I think about this 4 years ago?
I guess It has taken me 4 years to realise, I've been too busy doing things for other people, that I've wasted 4 years on myself.
I grabbed my keys, energy drinks, as well as, my suitcase.
Before I go, I put my blinds down, as well as, locking the back door.
I walk out of my front door, I lock it behind me, I strode towards my car.
I unlock my car, I open up my boot, I place my suitcase in there.
I shut my car boot, grab my energy drink, whilst getting into my car.

I put my seat belt on, while I open my energy drink can, besides, placing it into the cup holder.
I place my keys into the ignition, off we go to New York, I was excited.
-1 hour later-
I arrive at Gatwick airport, I unbuckle my seat belt, grab my energy drink can.
I hop out of the car, whilst opening my car boot, I grab my suitcase.
I shut my boot, grab my keys, whilst locking my car completely.
I entered the Gatwick Airport, I went through security, whilst getting my ticket checked.
I grabbed my suitcase, as well as, my energy drink.
I strode onto the plane, I placed my suitcase into the luggage rack, I found my seat.
It only took 8 hours, from London to New York, I best try and get some sleep.

-8 hours later-
My heart was racing, I had finally landed in New York, I was so excited.
I grabbed my 2nd energy drink to wake myself up, I grabbed my suitcase, I got off the plane.
I strode outside, I walked to the taxi rank, I waved at the taxi man.
He opened the boot of his car, I put my suitcase in to the boot, whilst closing it.
I hurried into the car, I put my seat belt on, then waited for him to ask where I was going.
"Where to?" he asked
"New York Travelodge please" I cried
I put my ear phones in, not because I was being rude, but it was just to pass the time.
I finally had arrived, I unbuckle my seat belt, I hop out of the car.
I open the boot, whilst grabbing my suitcase, I strode towards the window.
"How much sir?" I ask
"8 dollars please mam" he cried
I handed him 8 dollars, I head towards the hotel, I strode to reception.

"Hi there, I'm here to check in" I cried
"Of course, can I take your name please?" The lady asked
"Katie Roland" I said
The lady began to type away, she looked at me, then back at her computer.
"Booked for a week, you're staying In the double bedroom suite. Did you travel here by car?" The lady asked
"I travelled here by taxi" I answered
"Here you go, you're on floor 6, room 31. Enjoy your stay here with us" she smiled
I strode towards the lift, I entered number 6,
DING!
I had arrived at floor 6, I tried looking for room 31, it was quite difficult.
At last, I had found it, I bibbed my key card.
I entered my room, it was quite nice, I closed the door behind me.
The first thing I done was empty my suitcase, it started to feel more like home already, after I had unpacked I ordered myself a fry up.
I was starving, I heard my belly rumble a thousand times, I ordered my fry up through room service.

-Knock Knock-
I headed towards the door, I opened it, whilst the lady handed me my plate.
"Cash or card?" The lady asked
"Card" I said
I bibbed my card on to the reader, she asked if I would like anything else, I asked for ketchup.
I closed the door, I began to indulge into my food, who can't have tomato sauce on a fry up?
It's just the law, after I vanquished my plate, I placed it outside on the tray.
I grabbed my phone, hotel key, as well as, leaving a note: heading out, sorry.
I walked towards the lift, I entered ground floor, DING!
I headed out into the city, suddenly, I received a text message.
It was from Robert, why is he texting me for? It said: just stopped by your house, but you weren't home, are you okay? X

I've only been away from Folkestone for 8 hours, he is already texting me, why?
I headed towards a tall, skyscraper building, I was a little nervous.
I walked inside, I strode towards reception, some of them looked familiar.
"Hi there, can I help you?"
"Hi there, yes! Is teddy around?" I ask
"Let me ring him for you, give me one minute"
She seemed nice, I guess I haven't got the wrong building, I shouldn't have.
I remember it very well, the lady sat down, she cleared her throat.
"He's in the penthouse, floor 10, sorry I didn't catch your name"
"Katie Roland" I said
I walked towards the lift, I pressed floor 10, DING!
I knocked on the door, I was a little nervous, but excited.
Suddenly, the door opened, I walked inside.
"Who was at the-"
Before Teddy could speak, he looked at me, he instantly knew who I was.
"No fucking way, Katie Is that you?" Teddy asked
"The one and only" I cried
Teddy walked over towards me, he hugged me tightly, it was so nice to see a other friendly face.

"Can I get you anything?" Teddy asked
"A strong coffee please?" I ask
"What brings you here Katie?" Teddy asked
"I have some bad news, I'm afraid" I said
"What's that?" Teddy asked
"My dad, he's dead"...
