Kendall leans in for a kiss. But since my flight leaves in three hours, I only make the kiss quick. I take forever when I do the airport requirements, so when I finish, my flight would only be in one hour. Quickly, I pull away from the kiss. I guess this is it. I'm leaving California, when I just arrived, to go back to Kansas. I sigh and kiss his cheek one more time. Mike puts my bags in the trunk of the taxi. Soon, all the others exit the house for a group hug. Kendall joins in too. And unexpectedly, Mike does too. We stop the group hug.

"Um..." I say awkwardly.

"Sorry. Ahem," he clears his throat from embarrasment. 

"Okay. Well. I guess this is it, huh? Aleena, I'll see you in three months. Guys, I'll miss you. We'll DM each other everyday, alright? And Kendall. I love you. Bye," I say to everyone.

I enter the taxi cab, and I tell him to drive me to the airport. The man nods, and my eyes start to tear up. I try my best to hold it, but it falls down anyway. Why am I crying? This is what I wanted, right? To stay away from Kendall and to forget we ever met again? Yes. That's what I wanted. WANTED. But what do I WANT now? To go home or to stay here? The airport is unfortunately close, leaving me no choice but to decide quickly. I still have a chance to skip the flight. Suddenly, I see the airport at view through the window. DECIDE FASTER, VALERIE! There's noyl one thing to do. 

"STOP! I exclaim.

The driver suddenly faints from surpirse. Oh great! This is bad! Really, really, really bad! He must have that problem when he gets surpised, he faints! I look through the window and see a building right in front of us! I shake the man. 

"Wake up! Wake up please! If you don't, neither of us will!" I shout. "Oh for crying out loud!" 

I quickly pull the man and accidentally harshly drop him on the passenger seat. I sit on the driver seat, panicking. How can I drive when I'm panicking! I have a crazy problem when I can't do anything if I'm panicking my head off. My heart starts beating faster. From adrenaline, I make the taxi go faster than usual, thinking that I hit the breaks. Oh great! What now? I see the building comign towards us faster. Or should I say WE'RE comignt toward it faster! And that's when it all happens.

I see nothing but pitch black.

"When will she wake up, doctor?" a familiar voice asks.

"It's for her to decide when to wake up, not me. The accident isn't so serious, Ms. Schmidt. She only broke her right leg. For all I know, she should wake up today. Could be during the evening though. The inpact was very hard," a voice, or probably the doctor, replies.

Mr. Schmidt. Schmidt. I gasp and quickly sit up.

"KENDALL!" I exclaim, a little too loud.

"Val! Oh my God, I'm so glad you're awake!' he rushes to me and hugs me tightly. 

"Ow!" I scream.

"Right. Sorry. I forgot to mention she has a large scar on his stomach. Unfortuantely, the scar is unhealable. Too deep to heal. But it'll stop hurting within four to five weeks," the doctor explains.

"So you gotta mention it now," Kendall says sarcastically.

"Where are the others?" I ask.

'At the House. Doc. When can she go home?"

"Today, if you'd like. Just sign a few papers, and she's out,"

Kendall nods and the doctor leads him out to sign the papers. The door closes, officially leaving me alone. I realize my phone is on a stand next to the bed. I grab my phone and see I've got an unread text from Aleena.
