Ashley's POV:
"Ma'am, please wake up we've already arrived in London." A women's voice says. When I open my eyes I see the stewardess who gave me drinks and meals on this flight. I probably fell asleep right after I listen to some songs. I still hear my playlist in my Airpods.
"Oh, ok sorry and thank you." I say sleepy and immediately stand up. When I look at the time on my phone it's 3 a.m. I forgot to call Meredith in Zurich but I think she didn't forget to pick me up. I'm going to connect with the airport internet so I can text her. When I connect my phone starts to ring. She is calling me right now.
"Hi Mer, where are you?" I ask while I'm on my way outside the airport.
"I'm waiting outside for you." She says and then I saw her.
I immediately put my phone away and run in her arms. I missed her so much. It was like 10 years without her in Zurich.
"Omg, hi Ash!! I missed you soo much!" I can hear her voice cracking. She hugs me more tightly and I can't say anything. I just start to cry and hug her. Meredith moves me a little so she can see me in the eyes.
"Ash, please don't cry it's going to be fun ok?" She promises but tears fall down her cheeks.
I hug her again and after a moment we sob and she shows me her car. She has a pink car of course. Meredith was always the barbie even in the school days. She has light blond hair and blue eyes like Barbies have so she felt herself like a Barbie too. She recognized my obvious look at the Barbie car.
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!" She sings and smiles at me. In school days we had this insider that we always sang this Barbie song. Somebody used to start to sing this verse and the other person continued.
"Ah, ah, ah yeah!" I sing but a little demotivated. She frowns at me now for ruining our insider we didn't do since we can remember. We get in the car with no words and drive to her house.
"Did you sneak out without getting caught?" Meredith chuckles.
"Would I be here if I got caught?" I sarcastically ask.
"Haha right. Your mom would get a heart attack and your dad would say all bad words he knows to you." She giggles but apologizes because she thinks it was too mean.
"No it's ok. You're right that would happen or even worse." I start to giggle too. I don't want her to feel bad for me. As soon as she feels bad she blames herself for this. And it isn't true. It's my fault that I ended up here. It's not even something to blame somebody. It was my decision to come here so if my family wants to blame somebody then they have to blame me.
We arrive at her house and she shows me the guest room I can sleep. It's very big and nice. Also, the bed is so big there could sleep, 3 people. Meredith seems to be very tired so I don't ask too much and let her go to sleep. I put on my pajamas, I lie on this big bed and fall immediately asleep.
While I'm sleeping I feel something touching my stomach. When I open my eyes I see a stranger sleeping beside me. His hand is on my stomach and my leg was on his leg. When I sober I immediately scream and put his hands away from me. He wakes up and sees me like he saw a ghost.
"Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my house?" He yells with wide eyes at me.
