Elana P.O.V.

I hadn’t realized I drifted off to sleep until I woke up feeling cold. I was 4:15 and Diggy was still asleep. I moved his hands away from my waist and got up. Diggy moved a couple of times and patted the bed. He realized I wasn’t there and swiftly raised his head.

Diggy: Elana?

Elana: I’m over here I need to go to Shannon’s soon. Are you coming?

Diggy: Yeah *gets up and goes into bathroom*

I changed my clothes and put on some flats; Diggy came out of the bathroom wearing skinny jeans and a cardigan. I took my purse and we left to Shannon’s house. On the way we were silent. Diggy looked as if he wanted to talk about something. But I was still a little shook of my nightmare. We entered the gate and saw a man putting bags into the SUV. Shannon came out in sweats and sunglasses while Iris looked as if she had been crying, Diggy and I greeted both of them as they came towards us. Shannon gestured us to get in the vehicle. Shannon sat in the passenger seat while the rest of us sat in the back. Diggy held my hand and Iris looked out the window. I sat in the middle of both of them and looked straight ahead. Shannon turned on the radio. Whitney Houston started to play and she bobbed her head to the songs. Before we knew it she started to dance in seat to the rhythm of beat.

Elana: You really love some Whitney

Shannon: I LOVE her so much. She is my favorite. I remember jamming to her songs in my hotel when I was out of town. She has a voice of an angel. *biggest smile comes upon her face* I just adore that woman.

Elana: *smiles as another Whitney song comes on*

Shannon: I’LL ALWAAAAAYS LOOOOOVVE YOUUUUUUU!!!!!!! *singing*

I listened to her sing as we rode to the airport. She really does love her to know ALL the lyrics and the high notes of her voice. She smiled the whole time and was out of breath when we arrived at the airport. Everyone hopped out the car and followed her to her private jet that was waiting outside glistening in the sunset. It was 5:50 and it was almost time to go. She hugged Iris and kissed her forehead. She went up to Diggy and gave him a tight hug.

Shannon: You make sure my daughter stays safe from the criminals out there. *slight grin*

Diggy: I will. *smiles*

She came up to me and hugged me for a long time. She kissed me on the forehead.

Elana: I don’t know what I would do without you. Thank you once again *smiles and hugs before getting in the jet*

We watched the plane depart from inside the airport. We walked silently to the car. I hopped in the front seat of the car. Diggy looked at Iris and smiled.

This chapter was dedicated to Whitney Houston. She was a lovely person who walked the earth; Rest in peace.
