A/N thank you to all who have been reading this so far it means a lot to us! There is some mention of sexual assault in this chapter so reader discretion is advised. Hope you enjoy!

Alice had always wanted to visit the United states of America, but there was too much to see in the little time she would be travelling, so she whittled it's down to 3. She would spend three nights in New York City, then travel south to Florida and visit Miami Beach, to cross of something on her bucket list. Then she would go to California for a whole week, she would start of in LA, and Hollywood before travailing to San Francisco and then into the countryside. She fully intended in returning to the US after exploring other parts of the world a bit more, she had no intention of staying in one place for too long.

She was stuck in a plane again, which was the only big downside to her travels, she'd seen the inside of a plane far to much for her liking. She was leaving Canada behind and going to the big apple. The art geek inside her was dying to visit the metropolitan museum and she'd always wanted to see the city from the Empire State Building at sunset.

Maddie has always traveled a lot on her youth telling Alice of all the wonderful places she'd visited. She'd gone to America a lot to visit her family out there, and due to her parents hefty salaries and love of travailing Maddie had been everywhere in comparison to Alice. Alices father had a irrational fear of flying meaning they hadn't really had the chance to venture out of Europe. But that never suppressed Alice's lust to travel and now she was finally seeing the world form her own point of view not just from colourful descriptions of other people's memories.

Alice was sat on the aisle seat trying to get comfortable. It was only a short flight so she didn't really have anything to do. She took out her sketch book which she'd taken with her to every country she'd visited, she started to doodle something random, lacking of inspiration, so she took out her phone and looked back on some old pictures she could recreate.

She stumbled across the picture her and Maddoe had taken in results day in front of Buckingham Palace. A single tear streaked down her face as she started to plot out the picture in her sketch book.

An hour and forty minutes later she was in America at JFK international airport, going through the tight security. After another forty minutes she was out waiting at the taxi ranks lined with the iconic yellow cabs. She dived into the first free taxi she found the driver putting her bag in the back.

It didn't take long before she was in awe of the city all of the iconic buildings and monuments passing by her. Staying in New York was the most expensive leg of her trip and everything about the city screamed over the top and exclusive. She pulled out her phone to take pictures of the passing buildings making a mental note of what she wanted to do.

It was 6pm and Alice was getting ready to go out to dinner, it felt odd travelling and alone having to experience everything by her self but that wasn't going to stop her form enjoying herself. But she was lonely in her hotel room, so she pulled out her phone and dialled the top number.

A tightness in her chest eased up a bit when her besties face filled the screen, then her heart immediately sunk as she saw where her friend was. A party. Alice wasn't much of a party goer herself but she'd picked maddie up from enough to know that the kind of parties maddie went to aren't just a couple of friends having a few beers.

"Hey Aliceeee" Maddie said into the phone her words blurring into one.

"Hey Mads, what are you doing?" She asked quietly, Alice had no problem with her friends destructive habits when she was there to make sure nothing too bad happened, to make sure she got out before she could overdose or do something stupid, but now Alice was was in the other side of the Atlantic and couldn't hold back her hair as she vomited up the contents of her stomach.
