I walked down the corridor, looking for Trish. I haven't seen her since she suggested the "bringing Dez in" idea. I know that she must have called him if, in fact, she found his number. I needed to know whether or not it was successful.
I kept going, picking up my pace slightly. Moments later, I bumped into someone. I clutched my head and looked up to see who bumped into me.
It was Trish.
"Trish what happened? Did you find Dez's phone number?" I asked.
"Well...I checked the card..." she started.
"Go on..."
"I called Dez up. I explained everything to him. And he agreed to come visit. His flight is this Thursday."
"Oooohhhhh, thanks Trish, you're the best!" I squealed while hugging her. "I have to go tell Austin!"
My mind was racing as I ran down the hall. I was beyond excited.
...
...
I entered Austin's room gasping for air. Man, I really needed to get back into shape. I leaned on the door handle of Austin's room for support. We had assigned him another room, it was just like the one I was staying in right now. This way, he doesn't feel constrained and locked up.
"...Hey..." I managed to say, in between laboured breaths.
"Hi. It's Ally, right?" Austin replied.
"Yeah...it is." The room was silent for a while. The only thing you could hear was our breathing. Then, Austin piped up, breaking the silent spell.
"So, did you talk to Dex yet?"
"It's Dez," I corrected.
"Right. Dez." He blushed at his mistake. "Did you talk to him yet?"
"Yeah. He has agreed to fly here this Thursday! He wants to meet you. Get reacquainted with you perhaps. Jog your memory a bit."
"Okay. Thanks for...well, everything."
"You're welcome."
I carefully shut the door and made my way down the hallway. I needed to go over to my apartment and check on things. I went back to my room to pick up my purse (that's really important, I have my keys in there).
Marching out, I hailed a taxi cab. Strangely, it was the same guy who dropped me off here a few days ago. I was puzzled, but then shook it off. I mean, what a coincidence!
"Hello," I greeted him.
"Wow, you are in a great mood today! Bit of a change from last time, eh?" he asked.
We started driving. In the middle of the drive, my phone started buzzing. I blindly searched inside my purse for it. When I finally got it, I realized it was a call from Kira.
"Hey Kira!" I said.
"Hey Ally! I just called to remind you of the sleepover tomorrow at my place." She explained. Oh shit. I totally forgot about that.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to my apartment to get stuff ready for it!" I lied. Of course, I was going to pack up. I just lied about the fact that I remembered.
"Okay great! See you in like, a few hours!"
"Yeah. Of course..."
She hung up. I waited patiently for the taxi to reach my apartment. Or, at least tried. The silence in the taxi was very disturbing for me. I had to move around or listen to something. I plugged in my headphones and started listening to music on my MP3 player (I don't care if they are old fashioned, I still use them). I guess you could call me old-school.
We reached the apartment complex, and I thanked the driver and of course, paid for the ride.
As soon as I went in, I started stuffing clothes into a suitcase I found in my storage room. I don't know how long I will be staying at Kira's house, but it's better this way. If we do stay for an extended amount of time, I don't need to come back to my house.
I did a quick look around. Then, I checked the fridge for anything I could bring over to the sleepover. There was nothing in my fridge at all. Literally.
I walked out of my apartment and closed the door, then locked it.

I am sooooooo sorry for the short (and late!) chapter. So much has been going on right now. I barely get chances to write on here!
On another note, my birthday is in twelve days! Yay!
