Page 38 of Falling Again

Please be ready…in 15 minutes! We’ll be at Tyler’s to get both of you so we can catch our flight to LAX on time.

I roll my eyes because Annika is such a neurotic pre-planner. I still don't know if Chloe is packed. I lean against the bathroom door, taking deep breaths, hoping to crawl myself out of the hole I dug.

Me:

We are like 5 hours ahead of schedule, we’ll make it

Reid

Unless you get distracted…

Chloe

Unless I strangle Tyler

Annika

Oh my god, please. We will discuss this later! Chloe, are you ready?

Me

I ran into the bathroom to seek refuge.

Reid

Chloe, don’t kill Tyler, please, he’s my best friend!

Annika

*eye-roll emoji*

Chloe

I won’t kill him. Just scar him for life

Tyler, tell them you’re pranking them.

Reid

You’re starting to sound like Anni

Me

Yep, huge prankster over here. Chloe likes Scooter more than me anyway.

Chloe

*beagle dog and heart emoji*

I’ll have to stop by our house to get my bags and change into my airport clothes.

Me

Pick us up at Beach Street.

Annika

Ok fine
