Love Is Not Over

Cam: New Friends

I rushed out before I could see his reaction. I felt him staring at me the whole time I was talking to their leader, and I felt bad for ignoring the poor guy.

Focus Cam. You need to get the girls!

I shook myself back to reality.

Right. Let's go.

I ran past the guard, bowing quickly before jumping in the elevator. Throwing my mask and shades on, I checked the time.

S***! It's almost 12!

I dialed Charles, not surprised when he picked up on the first ring.

"Hey, Camel. What's up?"

I smiled. "Hey, Uncle. Did you forget too?"

"To pick up the girls? Nahh, I rented a Jeep for you to go get them cuz Fred needs me to take Val and Chelsea to their final fitting. He didn't tell you?"

I rolled my eyes. "No, he probably forgot. You know how Fred is."

He laughed. "I know, I know. The Jeep will be waiting out front once you're finished. Sorry I can't come with you kiddo."

My heart warmed. "It's okay. I'll just use GoogleMaps."

"Okay. Be careful Camel. Keep both eyes on the road, buckle up, drive slowly and-"

"Okay, okay I get it. I'll be cautious." I laughed at his worried nagging.

He sighed. "Okay then. I'll see you later on today."

"Sure thing. Bye!" I hung up, darting out as soon as the doors opened.

A sleek black Jeep sat outside, just as he said.

The valet stepped out, handing me the keys.

"Thanks!" I snatched them, jumping in the car.

It looked exactly like the one I owned back home. Except it didn't have my Stitch toy hanging from the rear view mirror. Or my red hibiscus seat covers.

Nevertheless, a car is a car. I turned it on, loving the roar of the engine. Carefully, I stuck my phone on the holder.

"Siri, give me the fastest route to Seoul Airport."

The map appeared instantly with the directions.

Thank God for technology.

I drove off, carefully avoiding collision.

Halfway there, my phone vibrated.

"Ty is calling." Siri said monotonously.

I answered. "I'm on my way."

"No no no! Don't come, we haven't landed yet." There was a lot of bustling in the background.

"What? Why?! Are you guys okay?" I pulled over to the shoulder of the road, worried.

"Yeah, we're fine. Our flight is just being delayed that's all. So we won't be there till tomorrow night." I could tell she was annoyed.

"Did you guys call Charles yet?" I asked.

"No s***. He already booked us a hotel nearby so we're good to go. He just told us to call you cuz he knew you was gonn freak out." Sarcasm.

I sighed, relieved. "Okay. Cool. I'll pick you guys up tomorrow then."

"Yeah, yeah okay. Gotta go, our rides' here." She rushed.

"Kk. See ya." I hung up.

Great. Now what am I gonna do with all this time? I don't wanna go back to rehearsals!
