Mile High Club

Ch. 1

Olivia shifted uncomfortably in her reclined jet chair. The cabin of their private plane was dark, only the small lights lining the floor illuminating the space. She sighed to herself, thinking they looked out of place, like they should be lining a movie theater walkway or something. It was just so fancy. Then again, this jet was a lot nicer than the ones she was used to flying in. Disney had really stepped up their game this time. Or maybe Tim Federle, the show-runner had just done a really good job negotiating with the studios to get them the extravagant plane.

With all the traveling and promoting for season two of the show, Tim felt like it was acceptable to give the cast the best of the best. At least every once in a while. She looked around her and just admired the jet. The soft cream-colored leather seats were large and super comfortable. There was an open "help-yourself" minibar, a large wrap-around couch behind the regular jet seats, and the triple sized bathroom at the back of the plane had its own window. There were four jet seats; two on each side of the plane, facing each other. Joshua and Tim were sat across from each other, with their feet perched up on the fixed ottoman between them- Josh taking up most of the room as he was widely sprawled in his seat. Liv rolled her eyes. Teenage boys...

Clearing her throat and shifting to get more comfortable, Liv saw her mother sound asleep across from the seat she was in, complete with her neck pillow, headphones and eye mask. She was only 17, so legally she had to travel with a parent. Josh was 19, so he was able to be by himself. Olivia furrowed her brow a little, not understanding how everyone seemed to be sleeping so easily. Sure, they had already been flying for close to five hours, but they still had another six to go and she was finding it damn near impossible to get some rest.

She sighed, succumbing to the fact that she wouldn't be getting sleep anytime soon. She began feeling an overwhelming sense of boredom that was causing her to become cranky and irritable. The trip had been fun. They had spent the last few weeks traveling around Europe, and even went to Disneyland Paris, before heading to their final promo stop in London. They didn't get to spend that much time in London but her and Josh went on the London Eye Ferris Wheel in the little free time they did have. The rest of the cast was back in the U.S. promoting the show in different cities.

Olivia's boredom grew as she looked out the small window, seeing nothing but dark sky. This overnight flight was really going to mess with her if she didn't try to get some shut-eye soon. Still, she was wide awake and the only thing she had with her to keep her entertained was her iPad. Sighing to herself once again, she sat forward and grabbed the device out of her bag, pressing and holding the power button until she saw the familiar Apple logo pop up on the screen. She looked around and realized just how much the screen illuminated the small space once it was completely powered on. She didn't want to wake anyone up so she tried turning the brightness down, but that only made it harder for her eyes to adjust. She groaned quietly in frustration and pushed herself up from her seat, careful not to bump her mother as she worked her way toward the back of the plane. She plopped down on the oversized couch, laying on her stomach and turning her brightness back up a little since she was away from the sleeping trio. She also put her headphones in to block out the engine noise.

Thankful that the jet had free wifi, she immediately went to her Instagram scrolling through comments on her latest music post. She chuckled and smiled as she saw comments from fans asking her to "run them over" or asking her to "marry them." She had been tempted to reply to a few, but instead she stuck to trolling them. She also came across a few comments about her and Josh dating (which they weren't). She smirked and shook her head at the numerous "husband" references about Josh and the never ending jolivia hashtags that went alongside those comments. Many of the tweets or comments she read were rather inappropriate and extremely sexual in nature and she questioned whether or not she even wanted to know how old the users were to be writing such crazy things. She started scrolling through her tagged posts and just about every other picture was a picture of Josh. She even stumbled across a shirtless picture of her co-star. She wasn't blind- she could see just how attractive he was and she'd be lying if she said she never caught herself staring at him every now and then. There was a photo she was tagged in of her and Josh performing "Breaking Free" at a park in New York and the pants Josh wore were just a little too tight... if you know what she means... and she found herself staring at the picture a little too long. A half hour had quickly passed before Olivia's parental controls on her Instagram locked her out. She quickly checked her Twitter feed, and noticed a bunch of people sending her the same link to an website called Wattpad.com. She knew Wattpad was a place where people wrote stories and she always found it kind of strange that people took time to write fake stories about her life or characters that she portrayed. She scrolled through the first few links but something kept tempting her to click on one. She was bored and couldn't sleep, and they say that reading makes you tired, right? It couldn't hurt to read one story, could it? Maybe she could put different names to the characters and make it less awkward... yeah, that'll work! She thought.
