The Journey

Jillian pov

I whimper a little. "Are you okay Jill?" Luke says. He volunteered to drive me and my dad agreed. Luke said it was because he wasn't ready to let me go. "No." I reply. He pulls over and says "Get in the passenger seat." I hesitate, then open the door and walk to the front. I pull the door open and sit down."Okay let's go." I say holding my breath in trying not to cry. Luke looks at me with sincere eyes. "C'mon Jill let it out." A tear trikles down my cheek and I shake my head. Luke sighs and opens his car door and comes to mine. He opens it and grabs my hand pulling me forcefully. I get out the car and into his arms. I start bawling. "You know I might start crying too." Luke says. I laugh a little. He hugs me tighter and says "Just know you will always have someone here for you waiting along with your dad and mom." I cry some more. Luke pulls away and looks at me then reaches in his pocket. "I almost forgot to give this to you." He pulls out a little box praying it wasn't what I thought it was. He opens this and says "I wanted to give you this last year before training but I didn't have the time.
I put my hand over my heart and say "Luke you didn't have to!" Inside was a beautiful silver ring that had the most amazing green gem and some words written on the inside of it ' villians will reign '. I stared at it. "D-do you like it?" He stammers. I frowned, turn away and say "No I don't!" I could tell Luke was depressed. "I LOVE IT."  I turn around and rush at him hugging him. We hug for a while. We step back and he put the ring on my finger. "Also, I put a technology that when you press the gem it projects a picture of us." He says. I smile and click the gem. Up shows me and Luke hugging. I smile some more and turn it off. "I think we wasted enough time, let's go." He says. "Wait" I reply. "What?" I stand on my toes and kiss him on the cheek and said thank you. He blushes which I haven't seen in a while. Then he smiles and grabs my hand pulling me to the car. Before I knew it we were on our way again.

30 min later

"This is it Jill. Phoenix Point." He says. I look out side and see and beautiful city with skyscrapers and many many nice houses. I stared in awe. Finally, Luke turns my head and says "come on we need to get your makeup on." I nod. I'm supposed to act like I came out of a catastrophe. We go to the back of the car and open the trunk. Luke gets the makeup and starts applying it to my face. After 10 minutes he finished. Luke hands me a mirror "Here you go!" I looked terrible! In a good way! "Its amazing! How did you do that?" I ask. "That's not important. What's important is that we get to the entrance. Remember the plan act like you almost dyed get a few tears in and get inside the town." He says. I nod and I say "Wait how am I supposed to cry?" Luke sighs and comes to hug me."I will miss you so much. You wouldn't believe how much I will miss you. Hey at least you'll have the ring and I bought one too but it's at home." He says. I feel a drop on my head. I look up and see Luke crying. I promise my eyes were welling up. I started to cry. He kisses my forehead and says "There crying checked." His eyes were still red and puffy but I was still crying. "Let's do this" i manage to say. We hug a little more and seperate. We look around the corner to see the entrance of the city. I was starting my act when Luke pulls me back and says "Be careful." "I will." I reply. I started my act again and this is where it begins.
