Description A bleep warned her of a message on another page. She glided the arrow and clicked the tab to open it up and found Thomas trying to get her attention.

Tom G.: up for our video chat?
Phoebe S.: of course!
Tom G.: wait, im just gonna fix my hair
Phoebe S.: lol, like you need that

The speakers blurted out the fake ringing sound until she clicked the "Accept" button. Soon, the Thomas filled her screen with his toothy smile. He had on his red head phones draped around his neck, but she was heavily distracted by the fact he has mussed up his hair so much that it stuck out in every angle possible.
She burst out laughing.
"I knew you would like it!" He said with a grin. Tom shifted on the hotel bed, making the laptop shake in his lap.
"It's late, am I keeping you up?" Phoebe asked.
"Only, like, 10:42 PM. We're seven hours ahead of LA in London."
It was true; Thomas was on a world tour. Who would've known Phoebe's best friend since kindergarten would be a famous lead singer one day? It was even worse now they had just officially gotten together. It was hard to get a hold of him these days; he was always traveling and he didn't want Phoebe to get caught in the spotlight.
"At least that was the last show. My flight's in exactly 6 hours."
"You should really sleep."
"Well I wanted to tell you about our plans for Saturday. At 9:00 AM sharp, on the day after I get back to LA, I'm going to pick you up in a plain old Honda and go to the finest restaurant in all of Hollywood to celebrate our reunion."
"As in, Starbucks?"
"Exactly. A white hot chocolate with a blueberry muffin for you and a large iced coffee with a cinnamon bagel for me."
"The anticipation is killing me," Phoebe said sarcastically, even though she really was excited. The fans, the cameras, the work- all of it had kept her from seeing him for over six months.
She didn't mention that her parents did not yet know about the reunion. They had tried to tell her before that being with Tom could damage her image, but she tucked this problem in the back of her mind, never to be thought of.
"So, why haven't you been answering my calls?" She asked him.
"Dude! I dropped it down a toilet, and I haven't been able to replace it yet!"
Phoebe disappeared from the screen as she laughed.
After another thirty minutes of more laughing and chatting, Phoebe finally convinced Thomas to sleep with a "Love you!" right before exiting out of the chat altogether.

That Saturday, Phoebe woke too early. It was the time of morning where it's early enough to want to go back to sleep, but late enough that your body refuses. Eventually she gave in, tossing herself into the shower and into a nice summer dress.
She left a note for her parents that were sleeping in, saying she was going out for a run. Not a bad lie, seeing as she had been on a routine in the past year.
8:57- She settled on the patch of grass in front of the gate and opened her book.
9:07- Absorbed in the story, she didn't realize he's late.
10:00- Her watch chime alerted her the time.
10:06- She decided if she started to ride her bike to the airport, they might meet up along the way.
The wind made her hair stream behind her, the flowered dress fluttering. She whizzed down a hill with a whirring of the gears.
"Watch it!" A lady with a $500 purse and gigantic pair of sunglasses screamed as she flew by.
However, the warning didn't prepare her for what came next.
A flap of her dress got sucked into the chain just as she crossed a wide road.
The sudden stop ripped the skirt and threw her off her bike.
Her heart skipped a beat in surprise.
She flew in the air, everything seemed in slow motion as the blue Honda squealed to a stop.
But Thomas was too late.
