I turn over so when my eyes open, I meet with the roof of the tent. And I turn over again to see who once was my partner in crime, my best bud, my goofball, my idiot and my co-star. I guess at this moment, I realize this is the last for everything. I feel like the word co-star means so much more than a fellow actor. It means someone to share the spotlight with. Sharing takes love, and now that there is no love between us, there is no sharing anymore. I now realize that I stole the blanket from my who-once-was-best-friend.
I crawl out from under my covers. The cubicles by the campsite await me.

I crawl back into the tent and get my duffel. I pull out my cell phone and as predicted it is dead. I rummage the car for Ansel's cell and I find it on the back seat connected to some power bank. Reception: low, but I can still make a call. I dial in the car rental number and call for a taxi. I add my location in too. I type up something in Ansel's notes.
Dear Ansel,
I'm taking a cab to the airport, leaving the car for you (:
I'm sorry, but I have to leave. My flight is soon.
I hope you don't hate me, I understand if you do.
If you don't hate me: Come back for me.

I leave the phone back where I found it. And suddenly a loud honk comes from behind me. I load everything into the taxi and get in. As the taxi begins to move, I realize something. "Wait!" I call out I quickly open the door and run towards the camp.
"Ansel don't forget to come back for me, okay? Please. Please. Okay bye. One last kiss." I kiss his cheek and he hums but doesn't wake. I spot my cell phone on the ground and chuck it in my pocket. Draping the blanket over Ansel, I whisper again. "Just cause I'm leaving now, doesn't mean I don't care. Just cause you are mad at me doesn't mean you don't care." I run out, leaving all my feelings behind. And as I slam the door of the car I smile.
Goodbye New Zealand.

Hai guys. As you can see, the font of the title has changed and I'm sorry about that.
Also did anyone catch the foreshadowing from Chapter One in this chapter?
Short chapter.
You know the drill loves.
