We've passed the halfway mark! Are you starting to feel the love again? Did you buy something nice?
If so, you have successfully completed step 3.
If not...we're fucking up and we suggest you start over.(it's got to work at some point)
The next step will include more food (we have a plan I promise. Just roll with it)
Buy something that goes with the weird food you just bought.
We were going to make you buy some other weird food but that might a little too hard so just buy anything that you think will go with the food you have already bought.
AND DO NOT GOOGLE WHAT WILL TASTE GOOD WITH IT! THAT'S CHEATING!
'Okay' Luke sighed, stuffing our next step back inside the bag.
'How about we just buy some chicken or something? It might not go with the Harry Potter spell we bought but we'll just eat it separately' I suggested.
Luke nodded in agreement 'There was a lot of meat in the Deli hall right? Let's go that way'
We walked through the crowd of people that had seemed to grow twice the size it was when we had arrived.
More people had started to notice Luke and I as well, but we tried to ignore it as much as we could and every time someone was pointing at us or approaching us, Luke had basically pushed me in a different direction to make sure we wouldn't be disturbed.
He was determined not to get interrupted by anyone.
I looked up at Luke, his eyes, though the dark circles where still there, had started looking more alive. He looked happier. The corners of his mouth seemed to have permanently moved upwards and somehow his eyes looked bluer than they had this morning.
He looked a little less on edge, despite the constant pushing me around to avoid having to meet anyone, and a little bit more at ease.
Though this plan had felt forced this morning, it was starting to become more real now.
Especially since Luke and I were communicating again.
We slowed down our walking when we arrived at the Deli hall.
We bought some chicken and dropped it inside our backpack together with the monstera deliciousa.
'Should we go straight for step 5?' I asked, looking at the last unopened envelope.
'Yeah let's do it'
I nodded and opened the envelope.
Inside, was just one sentence and an address.
Get a cab and go to "Ava"
Luke and I looked at each other and frowned.
'Ava?' Luke asked.
I shrugged 'Let's hail a cab and see where it takes us'
Luke smiled as I put the letter back in the backpack.
'Someone is feeling adventurous' he grinned.
I smiled and took his hand in mine as we started walking to the exit.
'We don't have a lot of options,' I said, looking at him shortly before focussing back on the people around us 'and I do believe the guys won't let us do anything life threatening because that wouldn't solve any problems, it would most likely just create more'
Luke grinned and nodded 'Yeah, although I don't doubt they considered it. To make us do something like skydiving, knowing that it would terrify the both of us and we would cling onto each other as if that would stop us from having to jump out of the plane.'
We walked outside and attempted to hail a cab as we continued talking.
'I don't even think I would've gotten inside of the plane so you would've been holding on to a stranger' I said.
'I mean, that's okay. As long as I got to hold on to a hot girl' Luke smirked.
I smiled 'Would there be a lot of girls skydiving though? I feel like you would be holding onto another guy. One that's not afraid at all and just enjoys the view while you nervously take his arm in some kind of choke hold to make sure he wouldn't be able to pull away'
Luke laughed, his eyes squinted shut and his head falling back.
'You know what, you might actually be right' he said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me against his chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist and closed my eyes temporarily, enjoying the silence that was no longer too heavy and too loud.
I knew we still had to talk about the things that had happened, but at least I started to get the feeling that we would be fine.
We would make it out alive.
