Mornings at Duke's (GirlxGirl)

C'est la vie

Life is too short to leave the unimportant words unsaid.

Song: Show Up/ Catey Shaw

Emily's POV:

As soon as I was out of the door I quickly ran to my car, nearly bumping to a trash can on my way. I unlocked the doors and basically threw myself in. The car roared as I started the engine, giving another unconscious boost to my confidence.

I was just about to press the gas hard when the passenger side's door opened with a thud.

"What the-" my words died out as I saw Taylor reaching to her seat-belt. My heart warmed a little to know that I was not going to go alone and my best friend came.

"What are you doing?" Still, I asked. She turned to me with a grin on her face, her eyes amused.

"I can not going to leave my best friend alone now, can I? Now drive you stupid bitch!" She pushed me a little to my side while smiling. I couldn't help but to feel happy to know that she supported me.

Now, the only thing missing was my girl. Soon to be my girl.

I pushed the gas hard with adrenalin rushing through my body and both of us jumped forward by the force it created. Soon, we were back on the road, probably breaking a million rules too. However, I couldn't give two shits about it.

"Which airport?" I asked in a rush while overtaking a slow car. I held myself from nearly cursing the woman who was driving. Why was she driving at that age anyway?! She could even die in front of the freaking wheel!

"It must be LaGuardia." Taylor answered as she looked at her phone. I panicked because I knew Melanie didn't include any information on which airport it was. However, in spite all, because the message was sent almost 40 minutes ago, I still had hope, even the tiniest.

"Look for all the Paris flights!"  I said as I turned the wheel vigorously to my left. Taylor's phone almost flew out of her hand because of the sudden turn.

"Jesus Em! Don't kill us."

Although, I couldn't help it, I felt as if I was panicking over every single thing. I was going to meet with Melanie. The Melanie. And I couldn't help it, shot me.

Over the week, I had actually missed her tremendously. I missed her smart ass remarks, her sarcastic comments, her teasing. The little dimples carved on her beautiful face, the shinning in her eyes whenever she laughed. I missed her so much, she was all I could think of after a moment.

I felt like a teenager all over again. Giggly and bubbly inside. Getting excited when hearing your lover's name. Craving for their attention. I wanted all and I wanted only with her.

"The closest one is the 15.00 flight." Taylor spoke after a while. We were going to arrive at the LaGuardia airport in less than 5 minutes. I quickly asked her the time. She was silent for a minute.

"Taylor! The time?!" I nearly yelled at her while catching side glances. She cleared her throat before answering more silently than before.

"It's 14.57 Em..." I nearly crashed the car upon hearing that. It felt like a bucket full of ice was poured down on me. My hands tighten around the wheel, making the flesh look whiter than before. I unconsciously held my breath, my heart beats audible to my own ears. 

Then I felt like everything was in slow motion. I stopped the car absurdly, right in front of the airport. My head swiftly turned to my right, to Taylor, who was screaming something at my face. I saw her deep frown and her mouth moving yet didn't hear anything, anything at all. All I could hear was the constant ringing at my ears.
