CHAPTER 4

A WEEK LATER...

Brian had found out that Andrea was staying with Hayley and had called her several times, but Andrea had refused to talk to him, he realized that the only thing left to do was to go and see her so he did! He got in his car and headed to Hayley’s house.

* * * *

"If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me okay?" Hayley told her friend as she hugged her goodbye. She hoped not for the last time.

"Okay." Andrea said returning the hug. She, too, was acutely aware of the fact that this might be the last time that she was seeing her best friend.

"You sure you don’t want me to come with you to the airport?" Hayley asked for like the millionth time that day.

"I’m sure. I’ll just take a taxi and go. It’s much easier for me to say goodbye this way." Andrea said. "If you come with me, i may never leave."

Hayley smiled. She and Andrea had been best friends for about eight years. They had always been there for each other and the thought that they were going to be separated, not for a few months or years but for eternity, made the few days they spent together even more special. But at the same time sad knowing that this was all they had left with each other.

Andrea didn’t deserve this. She was too young to die. Heck she was only twenty-two! She didn’t have a chance to really live life! The thought of it made Hayley start to cry. Andrea knew exactly what she was thinking and hugged her tightly crying as well.

"Don’t worry about me Hayley." She said between sobs, "I’ll be fine."

There she went again! Putting up that front! Hayley was bout to protest, when the taxi that was waiting beeped the horn loudly.

"I’m coming damnit! Can’t you see I’m saying goodbye to my best friend!" Andrea shouted to the taxi driver. She said it more jokingly than angrily and Hayley had to crack a smile. God! She was going to miss her!

Andrea then passed her hands over her cheeks wiping away her tears,

"If i don’t leave now, I’m gonna miss my flight." She said.

"Okay. Take care." Hayley kissed her cheek. Andrea got in the taxi and waved at her.
