As soon as the epiphany about wanting to be with Millie dawned on me I automatically realised what would be the one thing I would miss the most if I left, Lizzie.

Hey day dreamer over there.

I looked up, smiling sadly at my best friend. I realised then that everyone was waiting for me to order, Millie had the menu open and ready for me to choose. I ordered the chicken wings and felt a nudge against my thigh when the waiter left.

Where did you go then Trix?

I turned to Millie, trying to keep my voice low as I didn’t want Lizzie to hear any of our plans just yet.

I was thinking about what we were talking about earlier.

What your drawing? Millie asked, her face becoming excited.

I shook my head, arching my eye brow, unable to help smile at her cute enthusiasm.

No, about the LA thing. I whispered, leaning in closer so Millie would hopefully get that I didn’t want Lizzie to over hear.

Was what you were thinking good or bad?

I couldn’t help my heart melt as Millies eyes looked so worried. I leant forward and kissed her once on the lips for reassurance.

Im not saying anything for definite but I was thinking what if I did go what would I miss the most?

Your car?

I chuckled, swatting her arm playfully.

No, something more important than a car.
Millie thought about this, her eyes catching Lizzie and she got it.

Oh god, I never thought about taking you away from your best friend,*****, would she not want to come as well?

I laughed sadly, shaking my head.

Lizzie hasn’t been able to afford to fill her car up for so long I cant even remember when she last drove it, I pay her share of the rent on the flat practically every month and Ill probably be paying for this meal. You think shell be able to afford to go to LA?

Millie looked crushed, her face had completely fallen. I had done it again, I had caused that face on her. I squeezed her hand and offered a smile.
