So, after all the drama, it was time we all had to go. We laughed, we cried. We were a mess.
No one expected it to be hard to say goodbye, yet it was one of the hardest things we each had to do.
When everyone left, Alison and I did something we used to do as kids. Watch horrible movies, and drink hot cocoa.
When I had to leave, saying I was a mess would be an understatement. Anyways, Alison told me to never forget her or Jason.
Which reminds me, I haven't even told her about everything that happened with Jason.
Well, I'm not going to ruin the mood by the situation, so I just said goodbye and drove off to the airport.
When I get there, I take a deep breath and grab all my things. After going through the whole process, I board the plane and take my seat.
After I settle in my seat and open my book, someone sits next to me and I look up and smile.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," I replied.
"I'm Joe."
"Candice," I said shaking his hand.
"So, what are doing going to Australia?" He asked.
"I'm going to college. The first part of my education is to go help people or animals anywhere in the world, and I chose Australia," I explained. "You?"
"Same. Who knows, maybe we're gonna be working together?" He shrugged.
"That would be fun."
"Yeah, it would."
Soon after, he closed his eyes and took a nap as I began to read. When I finished my book, there was still about 12 more hours of the flight.
I soon close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
I woke up, to someone shaking me, and see that I'm on Joe's shoulder.
"Sorry," I said moving and fixing myself.
"It's fine, just thought you should know we're landing in about an hour," he smiled.
"Thanks for telling me," I replied looking out the window.
"Hey, after we land and settle in, I was wondering if you would want to go on a tour with me," he asked.
"That would great. Sure," I smiled.
"Awesome."
When we landed and got off the plane, we went to find our bus and the place we're staying at.
When we did, we took the tour and had an amazing time. After we finished, Joe took me to dinner and that's when it got awkward.
"So, tell me about yourself," Joe said after we ordered.
"Well, there's not much to tell. My high school experience was rough, and some bad stuff, like really bad stuff happened that you don't want to know. So that's my tragic story. What about you? What's something about you, people should know?" I asked.
"Well, I have always known that I want to help people so my moms friend told me about the help I could give here, so I came."
"That's amazing," I said just as they set our food on the table. "Have you done any charity work?"
The whole night went amazing. He told me about himself and I made sure to steer clear about all the A and Jason crap.
When we finish, we walk back to where we will be living for a while and said goodnight.
