"What?!" I exclaimed loud.

Kurt laughs. "If your lips were sealed last night, you couldn't told him the truth."

I hit him. "You let Nick drive me back to the hotel last night?! Talk about being best friends."

"Savannah I could see the jealousy in his eyes and I wouldn't want him to hit me."

I sigh.

"And you were the one who told him I was gay." He laughs.

"Oh shut up." I spit.

"I guess our drama last night didn't pay off. I was even making out with you which was super gross." He blurted.

I sigh heavily. "Super gross? Wow. You even said I got you horny."

He rolled his eyes at me.

"I was so drunk last night that I couldn't remember a thing. I didn't even know it was Nick who drove me here. Ugh! I hate you!" I raged.

Kurt hugs me. "As much as you want to vent your anger at me, let's pack up our stuff then grab our breakfast."

"My head is killing me." I threw myself back to the bed.

"Get up! Our flight's in two hours."

"Ughhhh why did you have to pick such an early flight!" I complained.

"Savannah it's already five in the afternoon. Get the fuck up and shower."

The minute we got to the airport and sat down inside the plane, I stared right outside my window while Kurt was busy taking a piss. As soon as the plane was moving, Kurt came back to the seat beside me. He held my knee.

"Hey, remember that bitch at the pub last night?" Kurt asked.

I nod.

"But I really don't want to know more about her. She's seriously gonna make my hungover worst." I tell him as I was massaging my temples.

"Her name's Dakota." Kurt snapped.

I moved my head to him.

"I hate you." I spit.

He grins. "Baby cakes you can't hate me."

I playfully hit his shoulder. "I don't wanna know anything about her. I hate her. Now get over it and shut up."

He laughs. "Cheer up baby cakes. It's gonna be a long flight back to New York."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Oh whatever."

Two weeks passed after that wedding in Las Vegas, I was already busy hunting down other companies for my internship. A year to go and I'm gonna graduate soon. I didn't apply for my internship in the Devaloines Group because I know I couldn't qualify to their high standards. I was scared to try something as big as Devaloines Group for my internship. I'll apply to their company when I'm ready.

"Thank you! I will never fail you." I say with a smile. "Thank you again. Thank you so much." I repeat.

The second I stepped out of the office, I jumped happily and I didn't care if people were looking at me. I quickly called up Kurt's phone and it was just ringing for a few seconds and then he finally picks up.

"Guess what?" I chimed.

"You finally found a new guy?"

I rolled my eyes. "Better than that! Remember that publishing group I was aiming for? I got accepted!"

"Baby cakes I told you you're wasting time on that cheap ass publishing house."

"Kurt, I need to start at the bottom. I don't like starting at the top right away. Maybe after internship I'll apply for Devaloines Group." I say confidently.

"But I'm still happy for you. Shall we celebrate to that tonight?"

"Yes! We should! I'll call up Damon if he wants to come. He's leaving for Cali tomorrow night. It's double celebration."

"Great! Gotta go, still need to get to my next class."

"Bye." I hang up.

I headed out of FMA Publishing House and quickly got into my car. As soon as I was about to turn on the engine of my car, my phone lights up as it sits on the passenger seat. I hurriedly gabbed it and my eyes widened from my sockets.

Hey ex roommate! Guess what? I'm in NYC baby! Be my tour guide? Haha. I terribly terribly miss you!! -Tracy

I gasped and hurriedly dialed up her number. "Trace!!" I squealed when she answered her phone.

"Savannah!!! I haven't seen you since you left WSU!"

"Where are you? Are you at the airport?"

"No. I'm in my hotel. I'll text you the name and room number. I need to unpack my things here." She says.

"Oh okay. I'll be driving there now."

I hang up.

I quickly drove to the hotel that Tracy texted me and since I haven't seen her for such a long time, I know I just had to see her. I don't know if she knows what happened to me and Nick but I didn't really care if he was with her here in New York cos I specifically told myself that I need to distance from him and our memories. I wonder where he went to after he left me at Las Vegas. He's always gone and he doesn't really tell me about it. He always leaves me. Always leaves me.

When I reached the hotel, I quickly went up to her room and rang the doorbell. Tracy was the one who opened the door and she quickly threw herself to me. I was shock at first cos she was getting thinner.

"I missed you!!!" She chimes.

I smiled. "I missed you too. So so much."

She pulled herself away from me as I examine her really carefully. My brows creasing. "You're.." I trailed.

"Sexy." She chirped.

"You're so thin." I tell her.

I examine her even longer.

"Thinner." I corrected.

She smiles at me and just pulled me inside the room. Tracy's bony hands were holding me tight and I could see her knuckles clearer. I could see her collar bone so much than the last time I saw her, that bony shoulder and smaller hips. God what happened to Tracy? She's super skinny, more like bony after a year of not seeing each other. Was she on a diet?

"Don't look at me like that." She says.

"What... What happened to you?"
