Chapter 31 - Going to New York (1/2)

(I have deleted the notification thing as I think a day is enough for everyone to see. It is unfortunate that some have decided to leave without hearing my side of the story, but I suppose that's life. For the people that gave me the time to explain myself, I sincerely give my thanks and also an apology for my lack of explanation. Like I said before, I won't do something like that again and I hope to regain your trust. Well I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!)

It was the next morning and Chris was woken up by Kristine and Hermione.

”Chris we have to get ready!” Hermione shouted waking Chris up from a wonderful dream.

”What? It's alright, I don't have to get ready right now. It's the holidays,” Chris said groggily as he went right back to sleep.

”Don't go back to sleep! Get up!” Kristine shouted completely waking up Chris this time.

”Goodness, I didn't think that my first day of break would start with screaming,” Chris said as he got out of bed.

”Well you did almost go back to sleep so we had to go to our last resort,” Hermione said.

”You better hurry and dress up. Everyone is already done dressing and is getting ready to eat,” Kristine said.

”Alright,” Chris said. The girls left the room leaving Chris alone. He quickly dressed up and went out to the dining room to eat.

The meal was normal with only minor conversations.

The 3 families quickly finished their food and when they went outside, Chris saw 3 cars with familiar logos in front of their house.

'That's a Mercedes Benz. Judging by the year, it should be the Mercedes Benz 560 SEL. That should be one of the more luxurious cars in this era,' Chris thought as he got in the backseat of the car at the front.

When Chris went inside, he was quite surprised at how comfortable the seats were.

'For a car made in the 1990s, this is impressive,' Chris thought as his mother sat next to him and his father sat in the passenger seat.

When the driver saw that everyone had their belts on, he started driving.

In the middle of trip, the quietness was interrupted with Bradley.

”Chris, how are you doing back there?” Bradley asked.

”I'm doing alright Father,” Chris said.

”When we go to New York, just try to have the best time of your life,” Bradley said. ”Spend as much time as you can with your friends. Don't take it for granted,”

Chris didn't say anything as he was unsure where Bradley was going with this.

”Every moment with the people you cherish is important. I took my friends for granted and I'm regretting it till this very day. I can tell that those two girls really do care for you and is willing to help you any way possible. Treasure that care and reciprocate it. If they are in trouble help them,” Bradley said in a sad tone.

Chris simply nodded to what his father was saying and the car was silent once more.

In around 30 minutes, they reached the airport. When the 3 cars were parked, they were met with 6 men wearing black suits.

”Hello sir,” The tallest man said. ”We'll be taking your luggage here,”
