When Marina got out of the bathroom, Valerie and her had something to eat but they didn't really talk about Grayson. Marina had a feeling that Valerie didn't believe her so what was the point of telling her how she felt. Valerie would never really listen to her and it was annoying. She would never truly hear what Marina always tried to say. 

After Marina and Valerie ate, they got in the car again on their way to their new home. Marina knew that she fell asleep during the right but when she woke up, Marina could see from the locator that they were not too far away from home. 

"You are finally awake. It was getting boring." Marina heard Valerie say. Marina chuckled softly as she stretched herself out. She yawned and looked at the dark road. It was one AM in the morning. Damn... It was late.

"I didn't think you would miss me." Marina joked and she saw Valerie looking beside her. 

"Of course I do." Valerie replied and Marina smiled. Valerie just gave Marina a small smile back. She wasn’t so sure what to say to Marina and she was exhausted too. Watching Marine sleep made her even sleepier than she already was. 

Marina looked at Valerie as she was focused on the road. Valerie wasn't a horrible person. She was a good person. There was nothing wrong about her personality. Sometimes, she misunderstood Marina. Just like the Grayson situation. Marina just felt like Valerie had a harsh opinion about certain things about her life. Things Valerie wouldn't understand until she would experience it. Marina loved her more than anything and she was her best friend. It won't change. It will never change. 

"We are here!" Valerie shouted as she parked in front of a house. Marina had never came here. Valerie did come here a few times so the house would be set up right and damn she did a good job. Marina wanted to come too so she could just visit and see how the area was but then her mother passed away. She just lost her way of life.

"It's massive, Valerie!" Marina shouted as they got out of the car. Valerie smiled and nodded. It wasn't too big but Marina wouldn't think that Valerie would get this for just them. It was honestly amazing. The house had a wide front door and there was a garage too. 

"Can you open the garage so I can park the car?" Valerie asked and Marina nodded. Valerie gave Marina a key and she smiled in response of it. Marina saw her walking back and Marina walked towards the garage to open the garage with the key. It automatically went up and she turned herself around to see whether Valerie was in her car but to her surprise Valerie wasn't.

"Why are you not in the car?" Marina asked confused. 

"Because it won't fit if we don't move the other one." Valerie replied and Marina frowned in confusion.  

"But you don't..." Marina tailed off as she turned herself around and saw another car.

"Surprise!" Valerie shouted as she appeared next to Marina. Marina jumped slightly and scoffed in disbelief as shook her head.

"No you didn't." Marina said as she looked at the light blue car in front of her. She was in disbelief. 

"You really didn't think that you would move to LA without a car." Valerie said and Marina laughed. She could never afford this and she couldn’t believe that Valerie actually got get this for her.

"You are crazy." Marina said and Valerie laughed. Marina hugged Valerie tightly. She quickly got in the car and parked it differently so Valerie’s car would fit in it as well. 

"I can't believe you did this." Marina said as she was still in disbelief and Valerie smiled. It was good to see Marina truly smile again. 

"You have been always there for me. When things were tough for me and now I am showing my way of kindness towards you." Valerie said and Marina smiled softly. 

"Thank you." Marina said as she got out of the car. She hugged Valerie again as she quietly laughed.  

"Do you want to see the house?" Valerie asked excited and held Marina’s hand. Marina nodded her head. They closed the garage behind them and walked inside the house. 

As soon as Marina got inside, she couldn’t miss the massive living room. There was a huge couch with on the wall a massive TV. When Marina and Valerie walked in, Marina could see the massive garden with a massive pool outside. The lights in the garden made it visible for her to see. The kitchen was attached with the living room. It was quite big and it had a table where they could sit down and eat.

"Valerie, this is amazing." Marina said as she kept on looking around.

"You haven't seen your room yet." Valerie said which made Marina even more curious to see it. They walked upstairs and there were at least three guest rooms.

"When our family comes over. We will have enough space for them." Valerie said as she saw Marina looking at the rooms. 

"This is your room." Valerie said as she opened the door. When Marina walked in, her mouth almost fell open. There was a massive window where she could see the view. Marina had a massive bed with a walking closet and then a massive bathroom.

"Oh my god!" Marina shouted like a teenage fangirl. She was almost jumping out of excitement. 

"I have a bookshelf ordered for you and some books you might like." Valerie said and Marina shook her head.

"Valerie, you are unbelievable." Marina said and hugged her. She made all of Marina’s dreams come true. Marina would never think that any best friend would have done something like she did for her. It truly meant so much for Marina. She remembered telling Valerie how she actually wanted her room to be and Valerie did that exactly.

Marina and Valerie went to her room which was quite similar. The colour were different but other than that, everything was the same. They walked back to the living room and sat down on the couch. Marina sighed and laughed.

"I actually can't believe that we are here now." Marina said and Valerie nodded.

"It is crazy." Valerie answered.

"But we should go to sleep because tomorrow we are going out and shopping." Valerie said and Marina laughed softly.

"Typical Valerie." Marina said with a smile and Valerie laughed softly. 

Marina could get used to this.
