Chapter 42

Dana's POV:

Stepping foot in New York was not something I planned on doing until the case was over but here I am. I walked through the airport to baggage claim. Although it was a boy until what kind of baggage they were talking about-the physical baggage or the emotional baggage this entire trip had caused me. Seeing my bag, I grabbed it and ran to the exit. Well, as quickly as one can walk in untied tennis shoes.

As I was about to trip over my laces, I bent down and tied them into a double bunny knot. As I got outside, my heart stopped racing and beating me out of my chest.
Why am I freaking out? Why am I in a rush? Do I call Justin? Or Lucas? Or both? Ugh!

"Excuse me!" Someone yelled behind me and nearly pushed me to the ground. The fumes from the bus filled my nostrils as the brakes stopped. I hated the smell of gasoline. I picked myself back up, grabbed my bag and started walking.

Where? I couldn't tell you because I didn't know myself. I just knew that I didn't want to be here. Luckily, my shoes were made for walking. Walking out of the airport felt foreign as everyone else had cars picking them up. I didn't. Or did I? I honestly don't remember if I told Justin that I was coming back. Maybe I did?

Regardless, I made up my mind to keep walking. I walked until I saw a train station. I got on it. I didn't know where it was going; I decided I was getting off at the last stop, whether I knew the place or not. This was still an adventure and an adventure I wanted- for once.

The train was empty. Nothing but my body and bag was taking up space. My bag was taking up one row and I took the one seat at the end. I don't know how long I've been on the train. I do know that I grabbed it when the announcer said,

"Last stop, 12:00. Last stop."

With that I started walking onto the platform, up the stairs and into the night.

A/N: Do you think her and Lucas will meet again? Do you think he'll offer an excuse for his behavior? Vote and comment if you liked it!
