"I’m good. And shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? What’s up, Ty?"

    "I feel great, actually. Janice and I will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning. I’m really excited, Al. You know how much I wanted this."

    "I know and I’m really happy for you but aren’t you going to talk with your moms about this? They’re really worried about you. Actually we’ll be having lunch at the planet later if you want you can have Janice drop you then you can talk to them. Besides, we miss you, Ty."

    "It’s a really good idea but the last thing I want right now is having them force me not go," Tyler said feeling the bitterness in her tone.

    "They would let you go. Trust me. They were just a little shock by how you were able to decide without even talking to them."

    "I’m not sure. I still have to ask Janice about it. We might have a dinner planned or lunch out later but I’ll call her."

    "Okay. Just send me a message, okay?"

    "Alright. How are they, by the way?" the teenager asked feeling guilty of what she did.

    "They’re fine though they aren’t themselves lately. Even Angie is affected. She knew what happened and she felt sad because she knew you’ll be away for even a couple of weeks more."

    "I’m really sorry for what I did. Maybe I acted irrationally. It’s just that I was so overwhelmed at the thought of me doing these great adventures."

    "I know exactly how much it excites you," Alice said remembering the times when she and Tyler would hang out and Tyler would express how much she had wanted to go on a trip to Europe or anywhere in the world. "but just be considerate of your parents. Besides, you just had your surgery and your body is more prone to illness right now because of it. Just be a little extra careful."

    "I will. Thanks."

    "Oh, my friend is here. So, I’ll see you later at lunch?"

    "I’ll call you. Bye, love you."

    "Love you too, Ty. Be a good girl," Alice said before hanging up.

    Tyler called Janice and asked her about lunch. Janice had told her that she wasn’t planning anything and told Tyler that it would also be nice that she spend the last day of her stay in LA with her moms before they fly for Paris. This made Tyler happy. She immediately sent a message to Alice to confirm the lunch. She prepared herself and watched movie while waiting for the time. She had called a cab since the driver that Janice appointed was not available. Janice and Tyler had agreed that the older woman would pick the teenager at the Planet at around 3PM and they would be heading back to the house and finish packing then they’ll be going to a hotel where they would meet their companions for the trip.
