I played the fool, why did I agree to see Zach again, knowing the hurt and pain that was caused between us. I belonged home, the real Cindy would never cross states to see a boy...ever. Zach made me lose my pride, he was my weakness. I didn't know who I was anymore. Packing my suitcase in shame, I continued to think about Zach and how I could  approach this the right way. I wasn't going back to LA to continue our romance and be with him. Jill would probably kill me. I just wanted to help and be there for him, because he was my friend... I guess. I mean, I guess it really wasn't my place to let him emote to me. He had his band mates to lean on. He didn't really need me.

The next day the plane ride was long and exhausting. I couldn't believe I was back in LA, not my home. I could never call this place my home. When the plane finally landed, a wave of anxiety came over me. I didn't even come to a realization that I was really going to be near Zach again.. this can't be real. I'm scared. Why did he make me scared? He was my home when I was here, it didn't feel like that anymore for some odd reason. "Cindy!. Over her! Cindy! It's me Jack" I can hear my name being shouted from across the airport waiting room. I turn swiftly locking my eyes with his as he ran towards me, alone. Why was he alone? That means an awkward car ride back to the mansion which I was dreading. The history that Jack and I had was inappropriate to be alone together. He planned this.... clever, Jack. Your extremely clever.

"Hi!" I exclaimed. He hugged me tightly and swung me around as my luggage dropped to floor. "Sorry.. it's just really good to see you! We all miss you" he said grinning widely at me. "I..I miss you all too" I said softly.

"Now let's get going!"
