I was sitting in my seat waiting for the plane to take off when a girl sat next to me started a conversation with me. She looked about a year or two older than me. She had wavy brown hair and sparkling gray eyes. "Hi, I'm Amber." She introduced herself. "What's your name?"
"I'm Hailey. Do you live in New York or just visiting?" I asked her.
"I live there. But Los Angeles has been pretty great." she said.
"Do you have a boyfriend there?" I asked in curiosity.
"No, I recently just got dumped because my ex wanted my 'best friend' instead of me." She said sadly.
"I'm so sorry." I said. "But at least you can move on to someone better."
"Yeah. Do you have one?" she asked me.
I sighed. "Yeah, I do. He's pretty great."
"That's nice." She said. "I hope he treats you right. Are you visiting New York?"
"Yeah." I said. I felt tears come in my eyes remembering why I was going.
"If I may ask, why?" she asked. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
"No, it's fine." I sighed deeply. "So there's this girl who's dating my twin. I caught her cheating with my boyfriend a few months ago. We're back together, but that's not the point. So she's being an over dramatic bitch about things and slapped herself when my brother was in the kitchen. she claimed that I slapped her and my twin believed her over me. He called me a slut, bitch, whore, and said that my boyfriend cheated on me cause he knew I was a slut. He kept on saying that and it was just too much. I tried to cut myself, but my older brother caught me. So I packed up, ran away, and stayed in a motel for a few nights. I thought that taking a trip to New York would help me forget everything and clear my mind."
"One. don't commit the act. There are people out there who love you, like your older brother and your boyfriend. Two: if I saw that bitch right now I would break her jaw. I can tell she's trouble when she turns your twin on you." She said.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"When we get there, do you want to check in to your hotel then come to my place?" She suggested.
"I'd love that." I smiled broadly. "It's nice to finally have a friend that I can talk to."

Amber came with me to check in to my hotel. It was super fancy and the lobby was decked out. I got to my room and gaped at how beautiful it was. There was a living room decked out in gold and silver, and a mini bar. The bedroom was really nice and the bed was so soft.
"Ready to go to my place? It's not too far from here." Amber said. I nodded and we walked to her apartment.
It was really cute. It was bright and colorful and had fairy lights strung from the ceiling. ?It was small and cozy and clean. "It's not much, but it's what I have." She shrugged.
"I love it! It's so cute!" I said.
She smiled. "Thanks! My ex best friend said that it looked like shit." She rolled her eyes. "But she literally lives in a huge mansion with her parents. Anyways, what do your best friends look like?"
"I have a lot of friends." I said. "But I'll show you my friends that are in a band. My boyfriends in it too."

"The one in the middle is my boyfriend Zach. The guy on the left is Jonah, and he's dating my cousin. The guy in between them is Corbyn, and he's dating my other best friend Christina. The guy on the right is Daniel, and the guy in between Zach and Daniel is Jack." I said.
"Jacks pretty cute." She blushed. "Is he single?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Maybe you can hook me up with him?" She asked blushing even harder.
"Definitely, but not the time right now. I kind of left them worrying about me because I left without telling them, and they don't know where I am right now. I turned off my location and everything." I explained.
"Oh, okay. It's fine. You want to go to Starbucks?" She asked me.
"Yeah!" I said.
When we got to Starbucks I remembered how many cups of coffee Jonah would always get. Zach and I always got a caramel frappe when we were together and always shares it.
"Are you alright?" Amber asked worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just remembering about how many memories I have at Starbucks." I smiled.
"Same." She grinned back.
"I'm glad to have a new friend here." I smiled.
"Yeah. All of my other friends betrayed me and are saying shit about me that's not true." She said. "I didn't do anything to them, so I don't know why they're doing this to me."
"I'm so sorry." I said.
The woman called out our names and we talked with each other for a while.
