Give you a lift

It took me some time. Finally, I came to my destination.

As I looked around, nobody was there. Therefore, I looked around, and then I strolled to the shop.

I walked around. Maybe I should buy some gifts for Joanna.

With this on my mind, I looked at what I could buy for her.

Seeing one, I smiled, and then I bought it with juice and a sweet roll.

No idea how long I will wait for everyone, so I might have something to eat.

For me as gifts are photos and memories.

I could have spent some money on small gifts, but I dropped this idea.

Especially as I spent so much on lunch and dinner.

Knowing it, I looked around and slowly took the mask off. Finally, I could clean my face. I do not want to show it to Paula.

Just to not scare her.

When I cleaned everything, I started my learning session.

Time slowly passed. For me, it is just a few minutes. During this, I ate my sweets and done my juice.

Seeing everyone, I smiled and looked down. Soon we should come back to the hotel.

There I can rest.

With these hopes, I spend the remaining time, and not long after, we come back to the hotel.

The rest of the day for me is nothing. I could see that Paula, Lucy, and Emily bought many things.

As the bags with them are so huge that I did not care how much they spent there. Now I can only look at Paula and remember our talk.

As what I left is only one learning session, and free time until the end of the trip?

Therefore, we can do what we want. Knowing it, I will spend time in bed learning.

For me, the hardest day ends with happiness. I could see my crush for a long time.

The rest of the trip ended as I planned.

I almost did not leave the hotel. If not for shopping, I will never come out.

The day of coming back had come.

I talked yesterday with Joanna. She cannot take me back.

So somehow I will need to come back home. Good, that I do not need a key there.

After checking everything, I come for breakfast, which has not changed since the first day. Same food.

Slowly, I started hating it.

After eating, I come slowly came back to my room, and then I come downstairs with everything.

Now I can wait for everyone.

I started worrying about one thing.

If flying will be good for me or not, especially with my injuries.

Nose.

I can survive, but my chest might be a problem.

With this on my mind, I sat and started waiting for our last ride on this bus.

Seeing everyone going out, I packed my bag, and the trip to the airport began.

Everything went smoothly. Almost no waiting. Just going one after another.

After this. The scary thing had come for today.

Fly.

Pain comes, of course. Not so big. So I could breathe freely.

Knowing it, I smiled, and then flew back home and became peaceful.

I looked outside, thinking about how I would get back home. As Joanna cannot come. She has some meetings aboard. She will come back tomorrow.

I could hear that talks are ongoing. I started making plans to come back.

I had a small hope that she could come back today, but as she hasn't texted me, I know I need to come back on my own.

Time slowly passed, and when we landed, I smiled and then walked slowly outside at last.

Same as I did with my bag. After taking it. At last, I came slowly out and started looking where the bus stop is.

I could not see it.

I could have asked someone, but first I checked on the phone.

After a quick look, I could see where it was. Therefore, I started walking there.

"Jack," Paula's voice comes to me at one point.

"Yes," I asked her.

"Going back by bus?" she asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Sit. I will give you a lift," she said. Hearing her, I looked around. Nobody from school was in range, so I sat inside.

After having a bag on my legs, she asked, "Where?"

"Oh, bus stop where you took me then," I said. Paula probably knows which one I am talking about.

After saying the name.

Which I did not know about our ride had become.

As we keep riding, we come there at one point. Seeing it, I smiled and said, "thank you."

"Oh remember. On Monday you might have difficulties," she said.

"I know. I will handle it all," I said.

"Ok," Paula said shortly, and I came out, and my walk back home began.

Before going to the shop, I will check what is in the fridge. Maybe Joanna left something there.

After coming to the building, I moved up and opened the doors.

Almost immediately, I received a punch, which knocked me out.
