Tonight was the night. I was moving to Los Angeles. The night I'd have to say goodbye to all my friends. I was completely heartbroken to have to say goodbye to all the people who've helped me through so much. I was sitting in my empty room alone scrolling through Instagram when my best friend Grace texted me "Hey I hope you haven't already left without me". I was confused, I replied saying "what do you mean?". "Open your front door" she said. Still confused I walked downstairs where my parents were still packing cups, bowls and plates, I walked around the corner and opened the front door. I saw Grace standing on my doorstep with a huge suit case.
I broke out in happy tears as Grace said "surprise I'm coming with you to LA!". I looked over at my parents to see them smiling at me. Grace was my best friend, she's helped me through everything, when I found out I was moving, she was the first person I told. But what I didn't know was that she already knew and was coming with us. I was in a state of shock, she walked in and went straight up to my room. "Hey! Im helping you pack too! Now get your ass up here!" She yelled from the top of the stairs. I could hear her laughing. I was still waiting for all my other friends to get here so I could say my last goodbyes. I walked upstairs and sat on the mattress that was on my floor, I picked up my phone and went on snap chat. I was opening all the snaps I got. Most of the snaps I got were of most of my friends saying goodbye.
It was around 9:30 pm when I heard someone ring my doorbell. I walked downstairs and opened the door, all my friends were standing there. They all came in and gave me their last hugs. They weren't able to stay long because they were all a part of a soccer team and they had a game early in the morning. When they all left I walked upstairs even more heartbroken than I felt before they came over because I knew I wasn't ever going to see them again.
Grace and I went to bed since we had to wake up at 5:00 so we wouldn't miss our flight which was at 7:00.
5:00 in the morning
I threw on some grey sweat pants along with a cropped top and a sweater. I didn't bother to put any makeup on. I met Grace downstairs where I found her eating some fruit. "Hey. I cant wait to get to LA" she said somewhat still tired. "Me neither" I said. My mom and dad came downstairs with all our luggage. Meanwhile our other things like plates and bowls were already being shipped to the new house. On our way to the airport I was listening to music in the back of my van. Grace was beside me snap chatting people and telling them where we were going". I ended up falling asleep until we got to the airport. Grace woke me up as we arrived to the airport at around 6:00. Great we have to wait here for an hour I thought. Grace and I followed my parents as they walked inside the airport. Our flight was 5 hours which sucked but at least I'd have Grace with me.
6:30 boarding the plane
Grace and I went through customs and everything else. We were now waiting to board the plane. My parents were standing behind us discussing whether or not to get an uber or just rent a car. About 20 minutes of waiting we were able to board the plane. Grace and I found our seats and it turns out we were sitting together. Phew I was scared I'd have to sit beside some weirdo that I didn't even know for a 5 hour flight.
Take off
The plane finally took off, a flight attendant came around and asked everyone if they wanted any snacks."hi would you two like some snacks?" She asked when she came over to us. "No thanks" I said with a smile. I ended up falling asleep for, four and a half hours. When I woke up, I grabbed my phone and checked all the snaps I had. Most of them were from other people saying that they'd miss me. Of course I replied to all of them. I sat in my seat listening to music for the last half hour of the flight. I looked over at Grace and she was completely passed out. It was 12:00 when we landed in LA. I woke Grace up and we grabbed our luggage and got off the plane.
