Chapter Two


*RING RING*

"Hello?" said Kara.

"Hello Kara, it's Maria! How are you doing this morning?" asked Maria.

"Horrible. I got like 3 hours asleep and then I was awaken by an uncontrollable need to vomit and now I have a splitting headache and my limo driver is picking me up in an hour and I haven't done anything," said Kara.

"I knew it. I knew you'd throw up," said Maria.

"How did you know?" asked Kara.

"You had four margaritas and then you ordered two mudslides in the restaurant, you finished one and quickly down half of one and then you had on in the limo," said Maria.

"I didn't get drunk did I?" asked Kara.

"I don't know, what do you remember about last night?" asked Maria.

"I remember dinner and Eric was there and then I ordered another mudslide after I went to the bathroom and then we went and go in my limo. I don't remember anything after that," said Kara.

"Oh well you took me home and then you took Eric home. I don't have a clue what happened though I did call you when I thought you got home and you said you were fine," said Maria.

"Oh you did, that's cool," said Kara.

"Well take a few Advil's and get ready," said Maria.

"Yes, alright then. I'll do that. Will I see you on set?" asked Kara.

"Yeah sure, we'll have lunch together," said Maria.

"Sure," said Kara, "Well I have to go because I'm going to have to rush."

"Alright then, I'll see you later," said Maria.

"Sure then, bye," said Kara.

"Bye," said Maria hanging up the phone.

=Time to rush around and hope I'm ready in an hour!= thought Kara running upstairs to her bathroom.

An hour later she was dressed with her hair done the way she wanted it done. She had eaten and she had everything under control.

*HONK*

Kara opened her door and waved, "I'll be right there!" she called.

She threw on a sweater and put on her sneakers and ran out to the limo.

"Thanks for picking me up," said Kara.

"As I said last night, it's my job," said Marilee, her driver.

"You did? Oh sorry I don't remember," said Kara.

"Really," said Marilee =That's a good thing. I don't know how she'd react to knowing she made out with Eric for 10 minutes!=

"Oh yeah, I was drunk last night. I hate to admit it though. I thought I had more self control then that," said Kara.

"Well don't be too hard on yourself. It happens to the best of us," said Marilee.

"I didn't do anything when I was drunk, did I?" asked Kara nervously.

=Uh oh= thought Marilee. She didn't actually see them kissing. But they were in there for 10 minutes and she had no proof except for the lipstick on Eric's cheecks.

"No, not that I know of anyways unless you did it after I picked you up or after I dropped you off," said Marilee.

"Oh that's great," said Kara.

"Yes, anyways we're here," said Marilee.

"Thanks again, I'll see you around 6:00ish," said Kara.

"Your welcome and I'll be here around 6:00 o'clock," said Marilee.

"Alright then bye," said Kara closing the door of the limo.

"On time, that's great to see," said the director.

"Yes yes, how long till we start filming," asked Kara.

"Whenever you're ready," said the director.

"Yeah, I'm not going to be ready for awhile. I need a mocha latte. Someone get that for me, once I've had one then I'll go to get ready," said Kara.

"Time is money," said the director.

"I know, but I'm barely awake," said Kara.

"You should've gone to bed earlier then," said the director.

"I did, but then I woke up 3 hours later and I puked up my guts," said Kara taking the mocha latte from the guy. "Thanks" she said softly.

"What!? Are you sick with something? Is it contagious? You shouldn't be here if it's contagious," said the director.

"Not it's not that," said Kara.

"What then?" said the director, "Wait," he said quickly, "You're not pregnant are you?!"

"No no no!" said Kara.

"Then tell me," said the director, "Why in the hell were you up all night puking!"

"I was drunk okay!" she yelled, "Are you happy now?!"

"Oh," said the director, "Is that all?"

"Yes, but it's kinda embarrassing for me," said Kara.

"Oh well, down that mocha latte and get ready right away," said the director.

"Fine," said Kara sipping her drink.

After about 5 minutes she was done and headed off to her dressing room. She went to make up and then to hair and then to wardrobe and came out half and hour later.

"I'm ready," said Kara.

"Great, Geoff just came out too," said the director, "Now let's start at the kissing scene."

"Lights, Camera, Action!" said the director.

"I despise you so much, when can I leave?!" said Sherina.

"If your dad doesn't pay the ransom, never," said James.

"For Pete's sake don't you want to get rid of me?" asked Sherina.

"Sure, but I don't want this to be total waste of time," said James turning his back on her.

"Well it was a waste of time," said Sherina trying to move with the chair towards the door.

"Hey stop that!" said James.

"Whose gonna stop me?" said Sherina.

"Bloody hell, I'm going to have to glue you to the wall," said James.

"I dare you to try!" said Sherina.

"I will then!" said James going into his toolbox. He finally brought out a big thing of Crazy Glue. He put it up and down the back of the chair and stuck it against the wall farthest away from the door. He stood there for a few minutes to make sure it held together.

"Don't do this to me, you can't," said Sherina.

"I can and I will and if you don't be careful I'll put the bandana over your mouth!" said James sharply.

She shut up not long after. He stood there for about five minutes standing literally in her face, keeping the chair still. When he was done they both turned and their lips met. They looked deep into each other's eyes. They both saw something in each other's eyes that they had never seen before. They saw love. They stared at each other for a few minutes and then their lips touched for a second time, this time to embrace each other in a passionate kiss. James pulled away suddenly.

"Huh," said Sherina.

"This is wrong, all wrong. I can't kiss you, you're my hostage. I'm ransoming you off for a quarter of a billion. I have to go," said James.

"No don't go! Wait, we have to talk about this, don't leave me. Not now," said Sherina.

"I have to go, I can't stay here. Damn, I'm so confused right now," said James holding his head.

"No really James, don't leave me," said Sherina crying. She had never been more confused in her life. She hated this guy didn't she? He had kidnapped her and been nothing but horrid to her and she was just kissing him and she had loved him for those few minutes and now, she didn't know. She just didn't know.

"I'll be back in a few hours," said James turning away from her.

"Don't leave me!" said Sherina again between tears.

"Bye," said James looking at the ground as he ran out the door closing his swiftly behind him.

"No," said Sherina crying her eyes out looking at the floor, "No."

"Great scene!" said the director. "Now Kara and Geoff go and change. We're doing the scene where you guys leave the apartment to give Sherina back to her father and you guys decide other wise and so far."

"Alright then, but aren't we jumping way ahead?" asked Kara.

"Yeah," said Geoff.

"Well we've done all the other scenes so what if we're jumping from scene 25 to scene umm…45. Doesn't matter. Just remember that this is long after the kiss and a while after they began to trust each other and James eventually didn't tie Sherina to a chair constantly and let her walk freely and sleep in the bed," said the director.

"Yeah we know the story," said Kara, "I'll go get dressed."

"Me too," said Geoff.

While they were getting dressed Maria went over to Eric who was standing there.

"Did anything happen after you guys dropped me off?" said Maria suspiciously.

"Happen, um…no, nothing at all," said Eric scratching the back of his head.

"If you're lying to me I will find out and I will make you pay. I don't like being lied to," said Maria sharply.

"Ok, something happened. I'd rather not say what though," said Eric.

"Tell me Eric," said Maria.

"It's embarrassing and I wish it had never happened," said Eric.

"Just tell me now or I will get security to throw you off the premises," said Maria.

"Fine, after you left she finished her mudslide and she was totally out of it by then and she told me I was cute and she wanted to make out with me. Anyways I said no because she was drunk and as I tried to get out she called out 'Wait!' and grabbed me and started kissing me. I tried to pull away but I eventually gave up and we were making out in the back of her limo for about 10 minutes," said Eric.

"You were WHAT?!" said Maria.

"You didn't hear me?" said Eric.

"No I heard you but I can't believe you did that to her," said Maria.

"I didn't do anything," said Eric.

"Precisely, you should of tried harder to get away from her," said Maria.

"I tried, but I couldn't," said Eric bowing his head in shame.

"I just can't believe it, we should of drove you home first," said Maria.

"I agree," said Eric.

"Do you now?" said Maria.

"Yes and if I could go back in time and make it right I would, but she doesn't even remember it and if you don't mind, I'd like to keep it that way," said Eric.

"You expect me to keep a secret like this from my best friend?" said Maria.

"Yes for her own sake. She embarrassed enough that she was drunk and if she knew she would go into a fit," said Eric.

"Fine then," said Maria, "But if she remembers and she finds out that I didn't tell her, she is going to be mad."

"We'll just pretend we don't know," said Eric.

"I can pretend I don't know because I wasn't there. But you were so you get most of the yelling if she finds out," said Maria.

"That's ok, I don't mind, anyways let's drop this, they're coming out again," said Eric.

About half an hour everyone who was meant to be on set was on.

"Action!" said the director.

"Come on," said James, "You're finally going."

"I am?" said Sherina opening her eyes. She had, had a great sleep that night.

"Yes you are, now get dressed, we're dropping you off at the location for the ransom," said James.

"But what about us?" said Sherina.

"I guess you'll just have to forget about me and live your life," said James.

"But what we have. Doesn't it mean anything to you?" said Sherina.

"You know it does, but I kidnapped you and it's been on the news that you were kidnapped and how can I be with you?" asked James.

"We'll run away together we'll leave a note somewhere," said Sherina.

"I have to do this, my boss will kill me, literally. If I don't bring him the ransom he'll kill me now let's go," said James.

"Can we still talk about this?" asked Sherina.

"You have to wear this sweater though and put hood up so it covers your face," said James.

"Do you have to wear a sweater too?" asked Sherina.

"Yes, I can't be seen either," said James, "Now let's go."

When the two walked out it was raining hard.

"Now let's talk about this. My dad could have a million swat cars waiting for you at the drop off place," said Sherina.

"Yeah, I know, so?" said James.

"If you get caught you'll go to jail!" said Sherina.

"Yeah, well it's a fate better than death," said James.

"But what about us, you love me don't you," said Sherina.

James looked at the ground and said nothing.

Sherina stopped and looked straight at him and said, "Don't you love me?!"

"Dammit Sherina! You know I love you. But I can't go against my boss," said James.

"I know, but I can't lose you, I love you," said Sherina turning to him.

"I wish there was some other way," said James.

"Me too," said Sherina.

"We'd have to change our names and leave the country," said James.

"Why don't we do that then!" said Sherina.

"Are you off your rocker?!" said James.

"No we can stow away on a freight train and then I can phone my daddy and tell him that I'm alright then we can change out names in another state," said Sherina.

"That's a great idea but are you sure? You're rich here and you have great friends and all this stuff," said James.

"Who cares, my friends just used me for shopping sprees and I told you my dad hated me! Notice how it took you two months of keeping me hostage to get him to pay the ransom and I bet this is all a hoax," said Sherina.

"Do you really think that?" asked James.

"Yes, I do," said Sherina.

"Then let's go," said James.

"Where are we going to go?" asked Sherina.

"The freight train, I know that there is one docked right now and everyone has gone to bed, It won't be too warm with the rain but we'll survive," said James.

"But wait here, I kinda lost my head. We have no money or anything or food, we have to go back to your place," said Sherina.

"That'd be risky," said James, "My boss could be there."

"But if we go somewhere with no money we will never survive," said Sherina.

"Your right, come on we'll have to run back to my place," said James starting to run.

So they both ran super fast back to the apartment. James grabbed his wallet and went over to a drawer that happened to be full of money and put in a bag. While he was doing this Sherina went over to the cupboard and looked for some food that they could take could be eaten without being cooked. She stuffed what she could find in a bag. Then she went over to the drawers of clothes. They needed something else to wear so she stuffed most of the clothes in another bag and finally they were done.

"Ok, let's go," said James.

"He must be in here," said a voice.

"Uh oh," said James.

"What," said Sherina.

"That's my boss, he's at the bottom of the stairs. Quick out the window," said James.

"Ok," said Sherina climbing quickly out the window and hurrying down the stairs.

James quickly jumped out the window and ran down the stairs outside.

"Hurry Hurry. They have guns," said James.

Finally they were at the bottom and they raced down streets and alleys to lose them and finally they were at the train station. They looked around for a train and climbed into one of them making sure they weren't seen.

"It's going to be cold," said James.

"That's ok," said Sherina.

"You know how much I love you now right?" said James.

"Yeah, and I love you too, you know that right?" said Sherina.

"Yeah. It's really funny how this all turned out. I kidnapped you and had you tied to a chair for days and we ended up falling in love and I risked my life so we would have money and food for a girl who I was supposed to ransom off," said James.

"Yeah, it's funny how these things work out," said Sherina.

Suddenly the train started to move.

"Good the train is moving. We'll be out of here and on our way to somewhere," said James.

"Yeah and at least we have money and food and clothes," said Sherina.

"Yeah clothes, I stuffed a lot of your clothes into a bag," said Sherina.

"And you're going to wear them too?" said James.

"Yeah, I made sure I brought belts and I can just wear your sweatshirts till we can find something else," said Sherina.

"Hey it's your body, if you want to wear my clothes, wear them," said James.

"And I will. Why don't you transfer the money in the bag into your wallet," said Sherina.

"Good idea," said James collecting the money together and sorting it.

"How much money you go there anyways?" asked Sherina.

"A million," said James.

"Where did you get that?" asked Sherina.

"Oh mostly from my boss for keeping you here," said James.

"Oh anyways once we get into another state far far away from here we'll change out names," said Sherina, "And I'll call my daddy with a scrambler tell him I'm fine and to leave everything to me when he dies."

"Okay then we'll change out names, but who is he going to put down in the will?" said James.

"Oh our new names of course," said Sherina.

"Ok then, what will our new names be?" asked James.

"What do you think about Jake?" asked Sherina.

"Jake, Jake, I like the sound of that and for you, how do you like the name Carrie?" asked James.

"Yeah I like that, now for a last name," said Sherina.

"Your last name will be Richardson," said James.

"And yours will be Morris," said Sherina.

"Well now that we have that settled, Goodnight," said James.

"Goodnight," said Sherina.

Narrator comes in now: The two escaped death by James boss and went from being in Florida to ending up in Texas. They kept their false names for the rest of their life. They got married in Texas on April 12, 2002. The lived happily in Texas for 10 years and when Sherina's dad died they moved back to Florida and lived in his mansion where their children happily reside to this day.

The End

"Great!" said the director.

"Finally!" said Kara, "We're done this movie."

"And before lunch too," said Maria, "Congratulations."

"Thanks," said Kara.

"Yeah great job," said a voice.

Kara recognized it and turned around. It was Eric.

"Oh hey Eric," said Kara, "How are you?"

"I'm great," said Eric, "And you?"

"I'm great," said Eric.

"That's good, anyways its lunch time would you like to join us?" asked Kara.

"Sure," said Eric.

So they went over to the table with food and got what they wanted at sat at the table set up.

"So what did you do today Eric?" asked Kara.

"Well I came here and I watched you act," said Eric.

"You did? I didn't see you," said Kara.

"Well you were busy with the scenes all morning," said Eric.

"Yeah that's probably why," said Kara.

"Hey are you busy tonight?" asked Eric.

"No, why?" asked Kara.

"Oh I was wondering if you'd want to go to dinner with me tonight," said Eric.

Maria shot him a quick dirty look.

"Sure, why not," said Kara smiling.

"Kara don't you think you should stay home tonight," asked Maria.

"No, I'm fine," said Kara, "Besides this is a good way for us to get to know each other better."

"Fine then, no drinking," said Maria.

"Fine, no drinking. Except maybe for a couple of Margaritas?" said Kara.

"No drinking," said Maria.

"Just one please," said Kara.

"Fine, no mudslides though," said Maria.

"Agreed," said Kara, "I'll be right back, I need to get something from my dressing room."

"Ok," said Maria.

When Kara was in her dressing room Eric leaned toward Maria and said, "You don't trust me do you?" asked Eric.

"No," said Maria.

"How can I gain your trust?" asked Eric.

"I don't think you can ever gain my trust," said Maria.

"Who knows? Maybe one day I will Tee," said Eric.

"Don't you Tee me," said Maria.

Eric just stared and smiled with one eyebrow raised.

Maria was about to go on a tangent when she realized something.

"Hey you just called me Tee, Only one person has ever called me Tee and that was," said Maria, "What no way, your not, no, you've got to be kidding."

"Nope, I am who you think I am," said Eric.

"You changed your name," said Maria.

"So did you," said Eric.

"So what do you think about Kara?" asked Maria.

"She's really pretty, she reminds me of the girl I left," said Eric.

=More than you know, More than you know= thought Maria.

"So do you trust me or what?" asked Eric.

"How can I not?" asked Maria, "Man I never thought you would become and actor."

"Well I'm proud to say I knew you'd end up being a singer. You have to be the best singer I've ever heard. Well she was always pretty good too," said Eric.

"She as in the girl you left behind?" said Maria.

"Yeah," said Eric.

"I should write a song about that," said Maria.

"Anyways have you talked to her lately?" asked Eric.

"No," said Maria lying. =Not yet, not yet. If he doesn't know. I'm not telling him.=

"Oh, it's like she's dropped off the face of the planet. I called her house and nothing, I wish she could see me now. Years later, I'm an actor and she has no idea I exist," said Eric.

"You have no idea she exists. You don't even know where she is. I guess that's the price of fame," said Maria.

"Yeah and I hate it, I wish I could go back in time before I was an actor, I wish that I had never left," said Eric.

"That's ok. Someday you'll find her again and when you do I'll be there with my video camera," said Maria.

"Oh Maria, you never change," said Eric.

"You can call me Tee if you want," said Maria.

"Nah it's ok, I'll call you Maria for now," said Eric.

"Sorry I took so long guys, I couldn't find it," said Kara coming back.

"It's ok, did you find what you were looking for?" asked Eric.

"Yup," said Kara happily.

"Do you want to tell us what it is?" asked Maria.

"No," said Kara.

"Alright then," said Maria.

"Oh are you flying out with me tomorrow?" asked Kara.

"Flying where?" asked Maria.

"To Ireland of course. I'm finished here so tomorrow I'm off to Ireland," said Kara.

"Oh yeah sure. Are we taking your jet?" asked Maria.

"Oh course, we're going to have so much fun!" said Kara.

"Yeah," said Maria.

"So I have to go now and get prepared for the trip to Ireland so I will see you guys later," said Eric.

"Okay then," said Kara.

"Anyways how about we go early and go on a shopping spree in Ireland," said Maria.

"How early are we talking?" asked Kara.

"Early as in now," said Maria.

"Sure, I'll go change," said Kara.

Kara ran to her trailor and when she came back about half an hour later she was wearing a pair of sparkly jeans a white shirt that was tight in the front and waist with long sleeves that were loose and that kinda flared out at the ends and covered most of her hand and her hair in two braids at the side of her head.

"What no lollipop?" asked Maria.

"I got a bunch in my bag let's go, my limo is waiting. I just called in and my jet and it'll be ready when we get there," said Kara.

"I have to go home first," said Maria.

"Ok fine, then we'll go to airport," said Kara.

"Wait a minute, your having dinner with Eric tonight you can't do anything," said Maria.

"Oh right, I got so caught up in the moment I forgot. I'll have to cancel," said Kara.

"Why don't you just invite him to go on the plane with us," said Maria.

"Because it'll all be girl talk," said Kara.

"Alright then," said Maria.

She took her cell phone out of her bag and dialled Eric's number.

"Hello?" said a voice.

"Hi is this Eric?" asked Kara.

"Yes, is this Kara?" asked Eric.

"Yeah, I'm just calling to tell you I can't make dinner tonight," said Kara.

"Dinner tonight?" said Eric, "Oh right, dinner. I had forgotten about it. How about we have dinner together in Ireland when I see you?"

"Sure sounds good, I'll talk to you later," said Kara.

"Yeah, Bye," said Eric.

"Bye," said Kara hanging up the phone.

"So?" said Maria.

"We'll have dinner in Ireland next time I see him," said Kara.

"Alright then cool," said Maria.

"So let's go," said Kara dragging Maria into the limo.

"Want a lollipop?" asked Kara pulling two out of her purse.

"I didn't think you were serious," said Maria.

"Well I was," said Kara sticking one in her mouth.

"Well now I don't have worry about you drinking to much," said Maria.

"Yeah, even if I did get drunk tonight it would only be you who saw me," said Kara.

"But your not getting drunk," said Maria.

"Yeah I know, I'm staying alcohol free tonight. Well for the exception of a few margaritas and you said so yourself that I could have a few," said Kara.

"Yeah well have a coke or something for now," said Maria.

"Excellent idea," said Kara grabbing a coke from the cooler.

"Grab me a sprite please," said Maria.

"Here you go," said Kara handing her friend a sprite.

"Thanks," said Maria.

"So what did you and Eric talk about while I was gone," asked Kara.

"Oh not much. Mostly just questions about the movie," said Maria.

"Oh that's cool," said Kara.

"We're at the airport," said Marilee.

"Thank you Marilee I'll see you in a months time," said Kara.

"Your welcome and Goodbye," said Marilee.

So Kara and Maria walked aboard Kara's five star airplane.

"Wow," said Maria.

"You like?" said Kara.

"It's amazing, you have everything on this plane. A bar with alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. You don't have a kitchen do you?" asked Maria.

"Of course, it's at the back of the plane," said Kara.

"Woah, this is amazing. As I said before I believe. I've never been on such a jet before. Even when were little and I was rich we never owned our own jet," said Maria.

"Yeah well, you could afford a jet like this too if you ever wanted one. We know that you still have the wealth from your family and your singing career," said Kara.

"True. But then again I don't need to when I have you for a friend!" said Maria.

"True, true," said Kara.

"So what do you want to do?" asked Maria.

"Let's go rent a movie," said Kara.

"We're on a plane. Wait, you don't have a personal movie rental thing on here too, do you?" asked Maria.

"Oh course not. I have my own personal library of movies but I was thinking more on the lines of digital cable and renting a movie on that," said Kara.

"Oh ok. That makes sense," said Maria.

"Anyways, what movie do you want to watch?" asked Kara.

"In your library do you have Miss Congeniality?" asked Maria.

"Of course, do you want to watch that?" asked Kara.

"Yeah," said Maria.

"Then sit down on the couch," said Kara with the remote.

"Don't you need to get the movie?" asked Maria.

"Nope watch this," said Kara opening a book that was the size of a dictionary and went to M, "Miss Congeniality, 422" So she pressed 422 and the tv turned on and on the screen were the previews for Miss Congeniality.

"Woah, impressive," said Maria.

"Isn't it?" said Kara.

"What time is it?" asked Maria.

"It is 6:00," said Kara.

"Well maybe if we watch this movie the time will go faster," said Maria.

"Why do you want the time to go fast?" asked Kara.

"Because I was to go to bed but not too early," said Maria, "I hate plane trips. The alititude makes me feel sick."

"Do you feel sick right now?" asked Kara.

"No not yet, I took a gravol and it's kicked in and now I'm kinda tired. Anyways, let's just watch this movie," said Maria.

"Alright then," said Kara.

So the two sat there for however long it takes to watch Miss Congeniality and Kara watched as Maria fought to stay awake. In the end Maria fell asleep on one of the couch. By this time it was around 8:00pm.

"Good she's asleep," said Kara going over to the alcohol cabinet. She poured herself a mudslide.

=This is to a good film. I hope= thought Kara swallowing half the drink in one gulp.

Kara sat there with her mudslide and gulped the second half of it down in another gulp. Then she went back and got a Mike's hard lemonade and drank that. During all of this thoughts were swirling around in her head.

=I wonder if he misses me. Oh well, this tastes good and it makes me forget everything. I feel so much better= thought Kara finishing off the drink. Then she grabbed another one.

=I willow in my own misery completely on my own. I don't remember the last time I depended on someone, even Maria. This is crazy. Man my head is starting to feel a little funny. I better start up on another one= thought Kara sipping the last bit of the lemonade. So she grabbed three more and stood up and to her slightly drunken surprise was a little woozy. So she walked down the corridor of her plane and went to one of the small bedrooms on near the back of the plane. She laid down on the bed in the corner of the room.

"This one is dedicated to the one guy who stole my heart, broke it and ran off," said Kara opening her 4th one. By this time her eyesight was pretty blurry. She had never had a very high tolerance for alcohol and had been known to get drunk easily. So at this time she really couldn't think at all and she still had two of these things to get through.

"Life is an empty space of open pastures," Kara said taking a hug gulp of her drink.

"A heart is broken and forever is the road of ones life altered changing it to a rough road with potholes and cows that refuse to move out of the way," Kara said finishing off the bottle and starting to sway barely being able to make out anything at all.

"I…" said Kara losing all consciousness.

So there Kara lie there unconscious and totally drunk while her best friend slept on the couch. Both slept and both were chemically induced sleep but never the less they were asleep. Maria slept for about 7 hours before she finally woke up.

"My, what a nice sleep that was," said Maria.

She looked over the room looking for signs of Kara. The first thing she noticed was the alcohol cabinet open.

"Oh no," said Maria going over the cabinet. There on the floor was a glass that had a mudslide in it and 3 empty bottles of Mike's Hard lemonade.

"Oh for Pete's sake. We need to get her a therapist or something," said Maria walking down the halls. She went to down checking every door and found about 4 empty rooms, a bathroom and a broom closet. She was at the end of the hall and had one more door. She opened the door and found Kara laying on the bed with two empty bottles and two full ones.

"Kara Kara Kara. When will you learn? You can't drink when you have a problem it just doesn't help," said Maria collecting the bottles.

=This is sad. She's sad over something and she hasn't told me. I can only guess as to what it is. The worst part is, she won't remember anything in the morning. She never does. I'd wish she would. Then maybe she'd realize that drinking is not the answer. I should tell her what she did that night. But I won't. I told him I wouldn't tell and I won't. I just wish she'd talk to me about this= thought Maria while walking down the hall to put the bottles in the recycling.

=I'm tired, I'm going back to bed= thought Maria walking into one of the empty rooms.

"Kara, I just hope that one day that your heart will find peace," said Maria putting her head down on the pillow and falling asleep.

Meanwhile Kara's dreams were causing her to toss and turn.

"I hate you," he said.

"No, no, that's not true, you know it isn't," she said.

"I can't stand you, I wish you would leave me alone," he said.

"No, that's a lie. Besides why are you doing this to me? You are the one who left me! It should be I who is mad instead you tell me you hate me! I can't believe you. I'm glad you left because now I know that I was better off without you," she said.

"Well fine then, I'll just go again then," he said.

"Fine leave me again. Ignore the fact that you still love me. See if I care. Ignore what we had and have and just leave me the hell alone," she said.

"Fine, I will. I'll go and I'll never bother you again. Besides we had nothing. We had nothing then and we have nothing now. So just leave and forget all about me and I will do the same," he said.

"Sounds like a plan to me," she said.

=I hate this= she thought =this is definitely not what I wanted. I love him but this is no way to live my life=

"Sayonara," he said.

"Au Revoir (goodbye in French), Arrive Derchi (bye in Italian), Adios (Spanish), Bye and good riddance," she said.

"Like wise," he said getting on the plane.

She watched him board the plane to leave and never come back again knowing that he'll never know how she truly felt.

"He who boards the plane leaves with more than himself and his belongings. He leaves with someone's heart in his hands," she said with tears flowing down her face.

"Goodbye love for you shall never find any within me," she whispered walking down the corridor wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Farewell, for I leave with no heart and shall I live a thousands years and never love again," he said sitting in his seat.

"Goodbye," they both said.

"Kara, Kara," said a voice, "Wake up, we're here."

"Huh?" said Kara.

"It's me Maria. We're in Ireland come on let's go," said Maria.

"Ok fine, let me get an Advil first. I have a horrible headache," Kara said.

"I wonder why?" said Maria.

"I don't have clue," said Kara, "Do you know?"

"No clue," said Maria.

"Oh well," said Kara swallowing the Advil, "Let's go shopping."

"Sounds like a plan to me," said Maria.

So the two friends quickly departed from the Airplane to go do some shopping. They had fun shopping and neither one knew that the trials that waited ahead for both of them.
