Bringing My Bestie Home

CHAPTER 268

~Zara's POV~

I could not promise to be there in two days. I already made plans with Ella. I couldn't rush things either for Mum. 

As the call ended, I leaned back against the seat of the car, exhaling deeply. My mother's fierce love was both comforting and overwhelming, but it reminded me that I wasn't alone in this fight.

The streets blurred by as I neared Ella's house. Pulling into the driveway, I called her line and she immediately answered. 

"Hey Zee."

"I'm here, El. Come down."

"Sweet," shegiggled and ended the call. 

Within a couple of minutes, Ella was already outside the building with a teasing smile on her lips.

"Ella!" I called out as I stepped out of the car.

She ran toward me, dragging her box behind her as she wrapped me in a tight hug. "Zara! You look amazing, as always. How do you manage it?"
