Chapter 0267 I wanted to say something to reassure her that it wasnt going to happen to her , but at the same time , I couldnt guarantee that .


    She was right ; she could end up like me and I was selfish for putting her in that position .


    I was also hurt that she said such a terrible thing to me .


    I mped my mouth shut and faced forward , staring at my water bottle as if it held the answers to everything She sighed and turned bac towards the window .


    I didnt want to spend this flight fighting with my best friend , but I felt tears burning in my eyes and I couldnt quite face her right now without breaking apart .


    At some point , I thankfully fell asleep .


    I was only woken when my ears once again felt as if they were going to explode , and the ne began to dip low .


    I opened my eyes , gripping the arm rest tightly as the ne began tond .


    Once we officially touched the ground , I let out a breath of relief .


    The seatbelt light turned off and they allowed us to leave the ne by section .


    Once we were safely off the ne , I felt like I could kiss the ground .


    Nan and I had barely spoken since our argument earlier and even as we walked over to baggage im , I could still f * e the strain on our rtionship .


    She was quiet and I knew she was lost in thought , just as I was .


    We got our luggage and started towards the exit .


    I was bracing myself for the hot air , but nothing could of prepared me for it .


    I could hardly breathe when we went from the AC and into a heatwave .


    What now ? Nan asked as she looked around , seeminglyfortable in her element .


    She always liked the heat ; summer was her favorite season .


    I guess we get a cab to the hotel , I said , pulling out my phone and bringing up the email that Levi Churchill sent me a few days ago .


    It had the hotel information ; it was only a few miles away from the airport and near the beach , so it shouldnt take us long to get there .


    Heres the address for the resort , I said , pointing at it .


    Nan nodded and turned towards the busy streets .


    Leave it to me , she said confidently .


    She walked towards the curb and whispered , holding up her hand .


    In seconds , a cab was stopping in front of her .


    She grinned and nced over her shoulder at me .


    I was always good at getting a cab back in the city , she exined .


    Before I got my car that is .


    I chuckled and grabbed my things off the ground , rushing towards the cab .


    The Cab driver was kind enough to pop his back trunk and get out of the car to help with our luggage .


    Just as we were about to get into the cab , I caught a glimpse of Sammy sitting on one of her suitcases looking exhausted and defeated .


    She was staring at her phone with a deep frown and tears clear in her eyes .


    Sammy ? I called after her .


    She lifted her gaze to meet mine and forced a small smile .


    Oh , hi , she said softly .


    Is everything okay ? I asked as I walked over to her , motioning for the cab driver to hold on a second .


    Nan stayed by our things and the cab to make sure no one else took it .


    Not really , Sammy sighed .


    My boyfriend was supposed toe and pick me up , but something came up and hes unable to get here .


    Do you need a ride ? I asked her .


    She raised her brows .


    Really ? She asked .


    Chapter 0267  I nodded .


    Im assuming hes at the resort , right ? I asked .


    You can ride with us .


    We are heading there now .


    She nodded quickly .


    Yes , that would be great .


    Thank you ! She breathed .


    I helped her with her things and once the cab was filled with our belongings , we all got in .


    Sammy of us three , so she sat in the middle .


    y was t the smaller I told the cab driver the address and he plugged it into the GPS .


    Just as we were driving off , something caught my eye .


    There were a ton of paparazzi surrounding someone that I couldnt quite see .


    They were shing their cameras and asking them questions .


    I strained my neck to get a glimpse of what was going on , but I could hardly see around therge crowd , and we were too far away .


    I wonder whats going on over there , Nan said , following my gaze .


    I shrugged .


    Who knows , I muttered .


    Probably some rich jerk .


    She nodded in agreement , and we rested for the next 20 minutes until we reached the biggest and prettiest resort I had ever seen .
