"How the hell do you wear that?" I ask, poking my head through an awkward hole in the side of a shirt. I think it was a shirt anyway. "Okay, never mind" She places it back on the rack. "How about this?" She asks, holding up a shirt. "That's cute" I shrug. "You're so hard to shop for" she rolls her eyes before moving to another aisle. "Why?" I ask, trialing closely behind. "You're so plain sometimes" I shrug and watch as she looks through all of the shirts. I notice a rack of dresses a few feet away so I walk over to it. I flip through all the hangers until I see a dress that's absolutely stunning. It was a peachy pink lace dress, with a low cute front and spaghetti straps. It was a little shorter than I would prefer, but it was gorgeous. "That's perfect" Karlie's voice scares the shit out of me. "What the hell? You could have told me you were next to me" she rolls her eyes as she takes the dress from me, placing it in her arm. "Dressing room?" I look at all of the clothes she had in her arms. "I guess"

About seven hundred dollars later, we were done. Karlie paid for everything like she said she would. We lugged all of my bags out to her Ferrari. She opened the trunk and we wedged them in there. After climbing inside, she starts the car. "Are you hungry?" She asks, already knowing the answer. "I'm always hungry" She smiles before pulling out of the parking lot. We drive down the road a bit before coming to the diner we always stop at on our way home. She parks and we go inside, quickly getting our seats. "So when do you leave?" she asks, while looking through the menu. "Tomorrow I catch a flight to London" I say, also reading my menu. "London is beautiful. A lot of people, but it's such a great place to sight see" Karlie explains. "I'm just nervous to fly alone" I mumble. "I'm twenty two years old, still a virgin, and afraid to fly alone" I say quietly so only Karlie can hear me. "Well the first part is going to change soon, and the second, will eventually fade away" My phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and see a text from Josh. 'I just wanted to say I miss you so much and can't wait until tomorrow. I'm also going to bed so goodnight beautiful' 'I'm sorry I haven't texted or called all day. My friend Karlie took me shopping. I miss you too and I can't wait until tomorrow either. Goodnight' It felt weird to say goodnight. It's midnight for them, where here it's seven. "Was that Josh?" she asks. "Yeah, he just said he can't wait for tomorrow and goodnight" I tell her as I close my menu. "He sounds super sweet" "He is"

Karlie dropped me off at home with my many bags before giving me a hug and basically threatening me if I didn't call or text her every day. "Mom I'm home" My mom was in the kitchen reading a book and drinking coffee. "Hey honey I have all your medicine in a baggy ready to go along with any other essential I thought you would need" "Thank you. I basically have everything packed but if you think I need something then you're probably right" I laugh as I grab the bag of my many medications. "Mothers do know best. Anyway, I'll wake you up around five thirty so you have enough time to get there, get through security and all that" I nod my head. "I'm just really scared to fly alone" I say, leaning against the cold counter. "You'll be fine. Just don't be afraid to ask questions in the airport if you feel lost" I bite my lip. "Mom" I practically whine "I know honey. Your anxiety gets the best of you." I nod my head agreeing with her. I still need people to order my food for me at restaurants sometimes. "You'll figure it out. You always do" I nod my head before pushing off the counter. "Goodnight"

"I'm not a morning person" I trudge down the front steps of my house in the dim morning light and climb into our car. My whole family was going. Mom, dad, sister, brother. I was in between Christina and Jake and resting my head on Jake's shoulder for a few more moments of sleep. "You're looking rough" Christina says smiling. How can one be so awake at this time? "Listen, I was awake for most of the time I was laying in bed because I was worrying about talking to people in the airport. I'm going to be tired" I hear her giggle beside me. I open my eyes and see she's taking pictures of me. "What are you doing with those?" I ask. "Just keeping them for memories" I roll my eyes before leaning on Jake again.

"Okay, I love you, have a safe trip, and text me as soon as you land" my mom pulls me in for another hug. "Okay, I will. I love you guys and I'll see you in a few weeks" I wave bye to my family and make my way through the airport. I stand on the escalator and get to the second floor. "Shit" All the people scrambling around jumbled my thought process. I just stand there, terrified, not knowing what to do. "Excuse me ma'am, do you need any help?" An older lady asks me. I nod my head yes thankfully. "Okay, you just need to walk down this corridor until you see section fifteen" I croak out a 'thank you' before going on my way. I avoided eye contact the whole time I walked. Once I found section fifteen, I sat down. I pulled out my phone and texted Josh. 'I'm in the airport scared out of my mind right now' I shake my leg while I wait for a response 'You'll be okay, I promise. All you have is the flight now. Then you'll be with me'

Josh's POV

I texted with Olivia the whole time until she got onthe plane and couldn't talk anymore. I just wanted to be there with her. Notonly does she hate being alone, but she has social anxiety so it's not like shecould just make a friend while waiting. "Josh" I snap out of my thoughts andsee Tyler standing above me. I was at the kitchen table pushing my food around."What's up?" I ask. He sits across from me. "I was going to ask you the samething. You okay? He asks, sounding concerned again. "I'll be better when Oliviais here" I answer. Honestly, my anxiety has been pretty bad these past fewdays. "But you're okay?" He asks just to clarify. "Yes. I'll survive" This iswhat I love about our friendship. We're always worrying about each other andhave each other's backs. "Are you okay?" I ask in return. "I still don't knowwhat Jenna is hiding from me" he fiddles his fingers on the table. "I wouldn'tworry about it too much. You'll drive yourself mad if you do" He shrugs.Suddenly he snaps his head up to meet my eyes. "What if she's pregnant?"a
