10: The city that never sleeps.

Damien.

It's 7:45AM, and I'm getting ready to head to LAX. I'm going early to make sure that I'm not late.

I feel really bad about what happened with Ericka yesterday, so I decided last minute to do something nice and pick her up today.

....

Ericka.

8:10AM, I'm all ready to go. I was about to get an Uber until I got a text from Damien.

Hey, I'm here to give you a ride to the airport.
really? you didn't have to, Damien, I was just about to get an Uber.

I know I didn't, now come out here before we miss the flight!

I smiled to myself. I wasn't expecting this, he's being nicer to me now, that's interesting...

I grabbed my bags and headed out the building, putting my bags in the back seat of his car, then getting in. He glanced at me, "Hey, Boze," He said as he started driving.

"Hey, Damien."

"Are excited to go to New York?"

"Of course I am! I've actually never been there before."

"I went there once with my family, but it was only for a few days, so I'm pretty excited as well. I hope we're don't miss the flight."

"Damien, I forgot to tell you yesterday, but...thank you for getting me a Christmas gift. I really appreciated it," I started to play with hair shyly.

"You're welcome, I wasn't expecting you to get me anything, I loved my gift too, so I wanted to get you something to say thank you AND sorry."

"Sorry?"

"Yeah, I-I'm sorry for saying that we should keep it professional, I didn't mean for it to come off so rude. I just thought what we did that night would ruin our friendship, and I was trying to protect that from happening...but it seems like it didn't. I'm glad we're still good friends, though."

"I'm glad we are too, and I forgive you."

Deep down, I knew that's not what I wanted. I knew I couldn't forgive for that yet. But I have to pretend like I'm okay with him friend-zoning me.

He'll never understand how much I love him.

....

8:25AM, Damien and I just made it through TSA and we now are running to our gate before they close it.

Luckily we got there right before they did and was able to board the plane.

We sat down in the only two empty seats, and they were next to each other, but far away from the rest of them. They're probably in the back somewhere.

We sat down and within a few minutes of us doing so, the plane took off. It's a five and a half hour flight, so we're gonna be here for a while. To pass some time, I took out my laptop and worked on Smosh & Order while I have free time.

"Working on the new show?" Damien asked me.

"Yup, the deadline is next week, so I'm trying to get it done as fast as possible."

"Cool. Also, I wanted to compliment you for coming up with that, that's a really good idea," he said.

I was flattered, "Thanks, Damien."

....

"Ericka, wake up, we landed," Damien said, shaking me. My eyes popped open...I didn't even know I fell asleep...and on Damien's shoulder.
