Lacey's POV
Holiday Inn

It's currently 3 a.m. I run down the hallway and bang on Andrew's door, Connor by my side. "What the hell could you possibly want at 3 a.m." Andrew tiredly says. "We need your help with pranking Shawn." Connor says, Andrew immediately lets us in.

"What's your plan." Andrew sits on the chair across from the couch that Connor and I sit on. "I'm going to hide in the spare bedroom's closet all day. I've already got it all set up in there so I'm entertained." Andrew nods for me to continue. "At some point today your going to tell Shawn that I quit the job and give him a note that has a break up letter inside. But your going to tell him he might be able to catch me at the airport before my flight leaves." Andrew starts to laugh, Connor and I smirk at each other knowing we got him on board.

"But when Shawn goes to the airport I'm going to go to the closet in our bedroom so I can pop out and yell April Fools." I say. "Damn that's a harsh prank." "But it's all in good thought." Connor adds on. I nod. "I'm in." He gives us a high five. "Now go to your closet and have fun!" Andrew kicks us out of his bedroom. "Remember to text me updates." I tell Connor before going back into my hotel room.

I go into the closet, put on my headphones, and start to binge watch Friends.

Shawn's POV
8:12 a.m.

I wake up to an empty space next to me. Perfect. I check the bathroom and the other rooms in the hotel to make sure that Lacey isn't in the hotel. She'll most likely be out all day. I text my dad and Alessia to come over. I pull out all the cups and set them near the kitchen sink. Alessia and my dad finally make it over. "Ready." Alessia says waving the clear wrap in here hand. I show her where Lacey's stuff is and she starts.

"Okay dad, lets start filling up this kitchen and bathroom entrance." We both grab cups and fill them with water setting them up to block the doorway. 

Around 3 pm we finally finish everything. "Damn Shawn, how we going to get out?" Alessia laughs realizing the flaw in our plan. "Well we can use the bathroom by the front door, and I guess were hanging out here." I shrug and we all go and sit on the couch. I connect my computer to the TV and we watch Netflix, waiting for Lacey to come back.

6 p.m.

I here the door burst open. I go to yell April Fools when I realize it's just Andrew. He runs over, the most worried expression on his expression. "Shawn we have some bad news." "Is it about Lacey!" I feel a wave of fear wash over me. He nods. I sit in a chair. "She quit." "No...no why would she?" I stand up, my heart racing. "She also left this in front of my door." He hands me a piece of paper.

Dear Shawn,
I can't do this anymore, I keep feeling the regret for of Dylan everyday. The pressure and stress was also just too much. I hope you can forgive me but we're over... thank you for giving me the best experiences I'll ever have. I'll always have a special place for you in my heart.
Goodbye, Lacey Smith.

I feel Alessia put her hand on my shoulder, tears streaming down my face. "No... Andrew, when did she head to the airport, did she say?" I put the note in my pocket and pace, knocking over cups. I run my hand through my hair trying not to have a panic attack.

"You might be able to catch her, she texted me she was quitting not that long ago. She would be at gate 7, I looked it up." I nod a thanks, grab Alessia, and we head out. She already had an Uber coming.
