A Night Out

Lana Rhoades

--------------------------------------

Rachel pulled up to the curb in her sleek, black sedan,a bright smile spreading across her face as she spotted Lana waiting outside.

Lana wore a fitted red dress,her dark hair falling in loose waves down her back. Her bright green eyes sparkled, and her full lips curved into a smile.

"Hey girl!" Rachel exclaimed, waving Lana into the car. "I'm so glad we're doing this. You deserve a night out".

Lana slid into the passenger seat, laughing.

"Thanks Rachel, I really needed this".

As they drove through the city, the sounds of upbeat music and lively chatter filled the air, Rachel navigated the crowded streets with ease, finally pulling up to a trendy nightclub.

"Tonight, we're going to let loose and have some fun", Rachel declared, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Inside, the music pulsed and the lights flashed , casting a mesmerizing glow over the dance floor. Rachel and Lana made their way to the bar, ordering cocktails and settling in for a night of fun.

As they sipped their drinks and danced,at one point, Rachel leaned in, her voice serious. "Lana, I have to tell you something, I'm a little worried about you and this job interview tomorrow."

Lana's eyes narrowed, concerned."What do you mean?"

Rachel hesitated, choosing her words carefully .

"Ethan Blackwood can be.... intense. And I don't want you to get hurt".

Lana's expression turned thoughtful, and she nodded slowly . "Thanks for looking out for me, Rach. But I think I can handle myself."

Rachel smiled, relieved . "I know you can, girl . Just be careful, okay?"

"Okay MOMm!" Lana teased. Rachel just giggled .

As the night wore on, Rachel and Lana laughed and danced, their bond growing stronger with every passing minute.

As the evening drew to a close, Rachel and Lana hugged each other tightly, promising to stay in touch. Lana climbed into a taxi, feeling grateful for the kind of best friend she had.

----

Rachel and Lana had been friends from childhood, Lana's family was happy and stable then. Then on a tragic day, her parents got divorced,her father took her sister and all their money then disappeared without a word.

That was when Lana's mom started getting sick and lived in a dingy place. But beside all of Lana's ordeal, Rachel still stayed by her side.

" Time for a future job" Lana sighed in hope as she got home.
