"what?!" i was panicking. "where are we going to sleep? how long are we even going to be here?"
"ethan calm down, ill book us a hotel now, were going to be fine" cameron said and got on her phone. "all done! $500 for two nights" she said and handed me her phone.
"cam. how much did you say you got this for?" i asked her.
"$500"
"cameron! you paid $5,000!" i said. "we don't have that kind of money!"
"what are we going to do?" cam said.
"i don't know you booked this place" i said.
"okay i'll figure this out. just look up places that ariana would go on your phone" cameron said and started rubbing her temples.

cameron was driving to our next destination, a coffee shop. we got out of the car and started walking, walking, walking.
as we were walking by a tattoo shop i saw a girl through the window.
she had beautiful red hair and is getting a tattoo on her wrist. i can only see half of her face, she looks familiar but i don't know who.
"hey cam" i said. "doesn't she look familiar?" i pointed to the girl with red hair.
"yeah she does, she looks like someone you would date. now stop looking at girls and let's find ariana" cameron said and started walking away.
"wait" i said and stopped her. "wait out here, i'm going to go talk to her" i started walking inside.
cameron did as i said and waited outside. i walked inside and went up to her.
she had a nose piercing, two piercings in both ears, and a cartilage piercing in one. she looked at me with wide eyes like she knew something.
"hey" i said. "doesn't that hurt?" i said and looked at her tattoo.
"umm...yeah kind of" she said.
"you look really familiar" i said.
"oh" she said and just looked at her tattoo.

"you look really familiar" ethan said.
shit. he can't know this is me.
"oh" i said. i just looked down at the tattoo my friend was giving me.
"what's your name?" ethan asked.
f*ck. i'll just make up a fake name. yeah.
"ria" i said. "yours?" i already know him but i need to make sure he doesn't know me.
"ethan" he said.
"shit! nick that hurts" i said.
"sorry, ari-" nick said until i cut him off.
"nick!" i said.
"ria" nick said. by the look on his face, ethan was confused.
"so anyway, i hope to see you in the future" ethan said. "bye"
"bye" i said. ethan left and i let out a sigh of relief.
"who was that?" nick asked almost finished with my tattoo.
"that's the ethan boy i told you about. the one i ran away from" i said.
"oh" was all nick could say. "so was that why you said your name was ria to him?"
"yes. are you almost done with the tattoo?" i asked nick.
"and...i'm...done" nick said.
