Love Is A Crazy Ride [Jonas Brothers Love Story] (Chapter five)

When they got to the airport, Anna was waiting for them at the entrance. Grace handed her the keys, turned to her truck, hugged it, and told Anna to be careful with her. Anna was trying keep a stright face, Faith burst out laughing, and Hope just smiled. To explain it all, Grace simply said, "I know, I'm a dork. But you love me anyway!"
"Well..." said Anna, trying not to smile
"Hey!" Grace said defensively
"I'm just kidding! You know we love you, Grace!" said Anna
"Take care," said Faith, as Anna climbed in the truck.
"You girls have fun!" Anna said, and then she drove off.
"Shall we?" asked Faith
"We shall!" said Grace. Hope just nodded.
They walked in the airport. Deciding that they had time to kill, they went to the small Starbucks place in the airport. Grace got a Mocha Frappaccino, Hope got a Strawberry Frappaccino, and Faith got a Chai Tea Blended Cream. They all got Talls, because airport prices are ridiculously high.
They sat at one of the free tables and talked. Well, Grace and Faith talked. Hope just sat there quietly, sipping her drink.
"You okay, Hope?" asked Faith
Hope nodded, but didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?" asked Grace
Hope didn't answer Grace. She just ignored her.
"Are you upset about the whole Joy situation?" Grace asked
Hope looked up, but then looked right back down.
"Oh my gosh, you are! You're getting all butt-hurt about me being friends with Joy, aren't you?" Grace said
Tears were forming in Hope's eyes, but she held them back. She picked up her Frappiccino with a shakey hand and took a quick sip, still not looking at Grace.
"You think I'm gona get influenced by her aren't you?" Grace asked. "Hope, you know me better than tha--" But she was cut off.
"Will you just shut up for five minutes, Grace?" Hope yelled, finally exploding. "Not everything is about you!!"
By this time, people were staring at them as they were walking past. Grace's cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "What are you talking about?" she asked calmly
"What I'm saying is, is that my deal with Joy has nothing to do with you," Hope said, slightly lowering her voice, but not really.
"Then what does it have to do with?" asked Grace, totally confused
"Joy and I have a history. A bad one," said Hope, lowering her head and voice
"You have to explain more than that, dear," Faith said
Hope sighed. "Okay," she looked around and then contined. "Freshman year, Joy saw me doing something that she hasn't let me live down. She keeps torturing me with it, but she only tortures when it's just her and me, so I guess that's a good thing. But still..."
"What did she catch you doing?" Grace asked in a low voice, almost a whisper
"I'd rather not say," said Hope
"It was nothing bad was it?" asked Faith in a worried tone
"No, no. I would tell you if it was something serious," said Hope
"Promise?" asked Grace & Faith in unison
"Promise," Hope laughed
Grace looked at her watch: 4:45pm. "Well, we still have a few minutes," she said, looking around. Across the way, she saw a 50's-type restaurant. "How 'bout we share a basket of Ranch fries?" she suggested
"Sure!" Hope and Faith said in unison
Grace went over and bought the fries. Faith and Hope started in on them even before Grace set them down on the table. The girls ate the fries up rather quickly, it was like their dinner (or lunner in Faith's case, since she was passed out when Hope and Grace ate lunch).
At 5pm, they got up and went through all the sercurity stuff. They put their luggage in the designated area and went to the waiting area outside the gate. They talked some more and after a while, Hope went into the bathroom. "I'll be right back guys," she said

*Hope's POV*
"I'll be right back guys," I said.
I walked to the bathroom and checked the stalls. No one. I locked the door to the bathroom, and went into the last stall. I pulled my hair into the ponytail and knelt over the toilet.
I've done this a bunch of times, it came naturally to me. I stuck my index and middle finger down my throat and clenched my stomach. Making sure I was over the toilet, out of my mouth came a pinkish mixture, that included her Strawberry Frappiccino, Ranch fries, and stomach acid. Gross. I may have done this since I was 15 years old, but puke was still nasty. I wiped my mouth with toilet paper, flushed the toilet, and sprayed some perfume to mask the smell. I washed my face and hands, popped in 5 cinnamon Altoids, unlocked the door, and walked out.

*Third person*
Hope walked out and went back to her seat with Grace and Faith. They were looking at her funny. "What?" she asked
"Did you need to put your hair up to get the job done?" Faith asked with a smile. Grace was silently cracking up next to her.
"Huh?" asked Hope
Faith pointed to Hope's head and Hope felt her hair. 'My ponytail!' she thought to herself. "Um, my hair was annoying me, so I just put it up out of the way," she said quickly
"Ah, understandable," said Grace, nodding
"FLIGHT 375 NON-STOP TO NEW YORK NOW BOARDING. FLIGHT 375 NON-STOP TO NEW YORK NOW BOARDING."
"That's us!" said Grace, handing Faith ans Hope their tickets.
They boarded the plane, sat through the flight attendants exit presentation, and they were off to New York...
