I finally got away from America. I walk to baggage claim, and find my suitcase rolling around on the conveyor belt. New life, new people, and most importantly, no more Jerome. Some chills roll down my spine, and I zip up my hoodie. I walk around the airport and then start to think. I have nothing here. Nothing I own or any people I know. Some girl walks up to me and I scan her face. She has a piercing on her nostril, and her face.. is so femine. She smiles, and I notice that she has dimples. Her facial features are very soft.

"Miss?" I think of Miss ASF. I focus back on her and her strong French accent. But she can speak English, so I'm set. "Miss? You seem very lost."

"I am, kinda. I just came from America to find a place, because I needed to leave."

"You're in luck, miss. I am the daughter of a real estate agent, and my mother is right over there, waiting for my sister to return from her trip to Asia."

"My name is.." I stop. Should I tell her my real name? "Charlotte Dyke."

"Nice to meet you.. Charlotte Dyke." She says, the accent really popping out on my name. "I am Henriette Augustin. My mother's name is Aurélie. It means golden." I nod, not really knowing what to say. "Follow me." And she leads me to her mom. My phone vibrates. I take it out, and look at the screen. A call from Natalie. I answer the call as Henriette converses with her mom.

"Hello?" I say.

"Where are you?"

"The airport, still. I haven't left because I don't have a place to go."

"Where in the airport?" She asks.

"By Sector A, the bench on the far left of the claim and I'm with a girl with blonde hair. I'm standing." I look around. Why does she want to know? Like, I'm all the way in France. I see some girl with brown hair, and Uggs like Natalie. She's wearing sweatpants, and she kinda looks like Natalie. She's craning her neck to get a look over here, and she looks at me. She screams into the phone, and runs towards me. I scream, and end the call. Several people look at me, including Henriette and Aurélie, and I mentally yell at myself. By the time my thought is done, Natalie's arms are around me and I start to smile and laugh. Her brown hair kind of tangles in my brown locks. I pull away, and I look at her directly.

"Why are you here, Nat?"

"Because, I knew you didn't have anybody you knew here." She smiled. "And now you do!"

"Nat, thank you so much." I smiled wider, if that was even possible right now.

"Um, hello? I am standing here waiting for you to stop your enjoyment fest and to talk to my mother about looking a house for a very cheap price for you two.. I guess."

"Who is that?" Natalie asked.

"Henriette Augustin and her mother.. Aurey or something."

"Aurélie!" Her mother butts in. I nod. "Well," she pulls out an iPad Mini. "I do not have any houses for sale, but I have a condo and an apartment. Both are going off for 30k." Are you fucking serious? That deal is sick! I look at Natalie.

"Condo or apartment?"

"Apartment. Can we see it before we buy it, please?"

"Yes," She says. "But you will have to sit in the back of the Porche if Henriette is coming."

"Fine with me." Natalie says. "Maybe this won't be this bad after all."

"Yeah," I walk after them. "I miss him."
