Forever Worldwide - Zahida R, Anishah A, Ruksana C (best life changing books TXT) 📗

Luckily there was a light coming through the window in the corner so I could see what made the noise. ''Shit'' I run back up stairs and try to open the door, luckily it wasn't locked. ''Guys I'm not playing this game anymore'' I say.

''What happened?'' Ryder and Raiven come from the backyard.

''Nothing, where did Ace and Jay go?'' I ask.

''Bathroom and attic'' I gawk at them.

''I checked the bathroom''

''They were in another room and when you checked the bathroom and left one of them went in'' He says.

''Yeah, I'm going to go bathroom last'' I mutter ''Cheers'' I run up the stairs and open the door that lets you go into the attic and a a ladder appears in front of me. I climb it and look around, and see a tell tale shadow in the corner. ''Found you'' I grin and run towards the figure. Sure enough Jay was crouched  in the corner, I squirted water on her.

''Oi, how did you know?'' She gets up.

''I have my ways'' I grin and go back down. Urgh, I don't want to check the bathroom. ''I'm not even going to check the bathroom''  I pretend to walk down the stairs but wait round the corner. Sure enough, Ace opens the door and looks around before coming out. Taking this as an advantage I come out from my hiding spot and squirt water on her. ''Payback'' I scream before running down the stairs, Jay and Ace right behind me.

''Hey guys'' Ace says. Next to Ryder was a guy, he looked the same age as Ryder, he had dark black hair, snake bites and piercing blue eyes. Raiven, Ryder and the other person were sitting in the living room watching telly.

''Hey, I'd like you guys to meet a super good and close friend of mine Taylor'' Ryder looked sad when he said the word 'friend' ''Taylor, you've met Raiven, this is Ace, Jay and Azaria'' He introduces us.

''Hi, I've heard a lot from Ryder, about you guys'' Taylor says.

''Awe, Ryder's mentioned you to us before'' Ace winks at Ryder, making him blush a little.

''I hope its all good'' Taylor smirks at Ryder.

''Of course'' She says.

''So, how long are you guys staying?'' He asks.

''We've got 4 days left'' I say. 

''Hmm, that's not a long time, how about Ryder and I show you some of the awesome places in Chicago?'' He suggests. Ace grins.

''Awesome!'' She says.

''Then it's settled, we're going to make sure you guys don't forget Chicago'' He says.

With that said I walk into my room and shower before putting on my outfit. Baby blue t-shirt with lace on the shoulders, ballerina flats, skinny jeans and hair left out in waves. I grab my side bag and walk into the living room. Raiven was already ready, wearing marroon sweater, black skinnies, cream dolly combat boots, formal yet messy bun. Ryder is ready as well, he's wearing a black and white stripy jumper with the sleeves rolled up, navy blue jeans and brown shoes. Taylor was wearing red and black checked flannel shirt, buttons open with a white shirt, black jeans, white converse and a red beanie on his head. Jay and Ace come down after a few minutes. Jay's wearing long muscle tank top, boyfriend jeans, nike suedes, flannel shirt ties around waiste and her hair straight with a beanie. Ace was wearing T-shirt with a penguin, white high waisted shorts, aviator sunglasses, light wavy hair and black vans.

''You guys ready?'' Ryder asks us.

''Yup'' We get into Taylor's car.

''Where are we going?'' Ace asks from next to me.

''300 Chicago also known as John Hancock Observatory'' He replies.

''Hey, I've heard of that place from somewhere, its like 94ft above ground right?'' I say.

''Yeah, hope none of you are afraid of heights'' He says.

''Nope'' I reply. I have this habit of putting on my headphones and blocking out the world whenever I'm travelling so I do the exact same and plug in my headphones. My eyes scan the view from the window, taking in all the scenery in front of me.

Twenty minutes later, we get to our destination.

''Whoa, that's pretty high!'' Raiven exclaims. We walk into the building and pay before getting onto the elevator. Like the time in New York I stuff my headphones into my ears and snap my eyes shut. Unfortunatly it took 10 minutes till we got to the top and when we did I practically wanted to kiss the floor..... not really.

''Are she scared of heights?'' I hear Ryder ask one of the girls.

''No, she's terrified of elevators'' Jay replies. I take my headphones and let them hang loose around my neck.

''Pft, not scared of heights'' I smirk.

 ''You okay now though?'' He asks. I nod my head.

We spend an hour or so up there, taking pictures, talking, listening to the tour guide and what-not. The site closed two hours early so that's why we could stay for a little bit. We were one of the last ones there. After we got to the bottom, Taylor and Ryder decide that they wanna show us the 'Music Box'. It looked soo cool, an old fashioned theatre, we watched the first ever movie to be shown in the music box and it might not have been amazing for me but I loved it! later in the evening we all decided that we'd eat out. We all went to a diner called Wendy's and ate there. We got home late, but we all stayed up and talked for a bit before heading to bed. We decided that we'd all go to the Navy Pier tomorrow and from what I've heard that place seems cool.

Chapter Twenty Five

Like we said the day before, we woke up.... more like they woke me up, and got ready. Around noon we went to Navy Pier and paid for our enterance fee. We spent hours in the pier, goofing about, taking pictures and mainly acting like kids on sugar rush..... just joking, not all of us were. The massive ferris wheel, killed me. I remember in the first three years of secondary school, we would go onto the ferris wheel in Drayton Manor and one of us would just move the cart a little and the rest of us would just scream our heads off telling them to stop, I took a video of it once, lost the damned thing.

We played a bunch of games and won prizes. We went on pretty much all of the rides there. Around 2pm we had to feed our growling stomachs. We pretty much wared ourselves out by acting like rebels and doing whatever we wanted.

Later we went onto the boat ride, it was in the evening and everything looked soo beautiful! The girls and I had planned to get Ryder and Taylor to confess how they felt about each other so I pretended that I lost my phone and asked Taylor could I used his to call mine, while Ace used the same excuse but used Ryder's phone instead. I give Taylor his phone back.

''Thanks, I think it might have been in my bag or something, let me go check'' I walk out to the deck and wait by the girls, Ace comes back a few minutes later. ''Done?''

''Easy as pie'' She sits next to me. ''On the way here, I saw then go in and a few minutes later I 'accidently' locked the door''

''Let's hope everything turns out good'' Jay says.

We stay like that for twenty minutes before we get a call from Ryder.

''Hey girls, where are you?'' He asks us.

''On the deck, why what happened?'' Ace asks.

''Someone locked Taylor and I in a storeroom for twenty minutes'' Taylor says in the back.

''Where are you guys, I mean which part of the boat?'' Raiven asks.

''Its close by the deck''

''Ok, we'll ask someone to help'' She replies.

''Thanks'' We hang up.

''You think it worked?'' Jay asks as we walk towards the storeroom they're in.

''Hopefully'' I reply. Ace unlocks the door and opens it, Ryder and Taylor come out looking a bit disheveled.

''What happened guys?'' Ace smirks at them.

''We told you over the phone'' Ryder replies.

''You guys planned this'' Taylor says.

''We don't know what your talking about'' Jay says. We all pretend to look innocent. Taylor raises an eyebrow.

''Well, tell whoever did it that I say thanks, if they didn't do this, then maybe I wouldn't have found out how Ryder felt'' He smiles.

''Your welcome'' Ace says, then covers her mouth. ''Who said that?'' She looks around.

''Ace you idiot'' I smack her lightly on the head.

''Ouch''

''That wasn't even hard!'' I smile innocently.

''Whatever'' She mutters.

''We're glad that you guys are finally aware of how you feel'' Raiven grins.

''How could you even tell?'' Ryder asks.

''Mergh, we have our ways'' Jay says.

We all talk for sometimes before leaving and going home. We all seem to be coming home really late, past midnight. Urgh, when I go to university, my sleeping schedule will be all over the place.... not like it already isn't. Taylor stays over the night, We stay awake for some time but I call it a night when I start to feel my eyes droop a little.

''Night guys'' I yawn.

''Night'' They say from behind me.

I walk into my room and put on my PJ's before diving straight into bed.

Chapter Twenty Six

Today I managed to get my but out of bed around 8am, before everyone else. Its a miracle! I walk into the kitchen and decide that I'll make breakfast for everyone. I make french toast, pancakes, waffles, berry mix smoothie. By the time I had finished and layed it out on the table with a bunch of assorted fruit and berries, everyone had come down into the kitchen.

''Whoa Azaria, since when could you cook?'' Jay says.

''Haha'' I throw a berry at her, loco chica managed to catch it in her mouth. We all sit down and take what we want. I stick to the waffles and berry smoothie.

''This is good'' Taylor says. I shrug my shoulders.

''I don't cook much so might as well do something useful since I woke up before you all'' I smirk at the last bit.

''Whoa, what time?'' Raiven asks.

''About 8am'' I take a sip of smoothie.

''Dayum girl, you looked like you'd sleep the whole day today.... what happened?'' Ace says.

''No idea'' I mumble.

''Our flights around 8pm right?'' Jay asks.

''Yup''

''Damn, its time for you guys to leave already?'' Ryder says, he looks a little sad.

''Aw, unfortuanalty yes but we'll try to visit again or you guys come visit us'' Ace says.

''We'll definitly will'' Taylor promises.

Like the first day, we spent the rest
