The rest of the ball was a blur,the dancing,laughing,singing,drinking had all been moulded into one big memory. The last thing I remember about last night is the show dance with Payton.
My head rested on his shoulder,his arms wrapped tightly around my waist.Our bodies moved elegantly to the sway of the songs.Nothing could have been more magical.
Payton woke up before me,I fel him shuffling besides me in the bed.I did attempt to get back up but my head was like a 50kg weight obeying the laws of gravity and falling back downwards onto the pillow.
After a while I felt kisses against my neck,a small smile creeped across my face.I know it's Payton,he confirmed my thoughts be groaning.
"Baby wake up.We have a flight to catch"
I forgot about the flight to New York.Was that enough motivation to get me out of bed though.. no."Payt,gimme like another 15 minutes"
"No!" He protests grabbing my wrists to pull me up,"If we miss this flight we wont make it,come on Abi"
"Why" I groan eventually giving in and getting up and out of bed.
The first thing I do is have a nice hot shower,brushing my teeth and washing my hair before getting dressed into one of Payton's hoodies and a pair of leggings.
I didn't have to wait long for him and Emmy to get ready,they were pretty quick,and since Emmy and I made sure to pack for the flight on Christmas we didn't have much preparing to do.
"Who recommended I drink so much yesterday?" Emmy groans as we creep around the house careful not to wake the others
Fluorescent rays of sunlight blinded my fragile eyes as I walked out to the uber.Note to self: wear sunglasses when hungover.
"I think we're all fucked up after last night,some more than others" Payton smirks
I shoot him a warning look but he just smiles at me as he takes my luggage to put them in the back of the car.
"Gross" Emmy comments looking at me with complete judgement as she gets into the car.

"Did you arrange this with my parents?" I randomly ask Payton.
We had another 20 minutes left of the flight,I was sandwiched between Payton and Em,on my left Emmy had blacked out on sleep and on my right was my boyfriend working on music.
"They do,I managed to sneak their numbers,I messaged them the plan and they loved it.So they'll be there to pick you up at the airport"
"This is still so crazy to me" I chuckle resting my head on his shoulder.
He smiles kissing my forehead before returning to his work,but I know I heard him mutter to himself,"it's gonna get a whole lot more crazy"
I spent the last few minutes in my head.Just thinking about everything,I love where I'm at now.Life is good,but i can't help but feel restricted when it comes to Payton.
Things feel like they're stuck at the same point and not moving forward and it's really bugging me.Part of me is envious of Stella and Eli I want a house with Payton.
But a life like that seems like a dream right now.We're at different points in life and if I'm being brutally honest I doubt Lara would let another friend go.
Besides,I really need to talk to him about this.
Soon
I still had to plan a day out for me and Payt before new years eve.I hadn't ever planned a date night in our relationship before so the pressure was on.
Especially when he comes up with amazing gifts like this.I just want it to be perfect for him.
The pilots announcement broke me from my thoughts awakening half of the zombie like passengers.
We finally land,getting foff the plane made this even more exciting.Putting me in more if a rush to get through and see my parents.
And just as I wanted we were in and out,walking down the arrivals corridor and out into the busy main area of the airport.
"I don't see them" I snap,my eyes scanning the areas around me.
"Neither" Emmy adds from behind me,her hand above her eyes which are covered in black shades the side of her face.
"I do," Payton laughs waving "Lisa,Paul!" He shouts pointing me and Emmy into the direction of out parents.
The excitement gets the better of us,we look at eachother before running into their arms.
"I missed you guys,my babys" My mom sobs kissing our foreheads
She pulls back from the group hug, cupping Emmy's cheeks,"You're... blonde and gorgeous,my Emmy's all grown up"
"Nice to see you champ" My dad laughs scruffing my hair.Before noticing Payton struggle to carry luggage for 3 people."Let me go help the young man."
He hurries off to pull Payton into a friendly hug before taking Emmy's luggage and one of mine.Instantly they're laughing and making jokes which warms my heart.
"Abigail,look at me" My mom says softly
I turn round with a smile looking up towards her.
"And you're just as gorgeous as ever.I can't believe you've matured so much."
"Mom,can the sloppiness stop now?" Emmy questions
"Em" I hiss nudging her with my elbow
"Ow!"
"Girls" my dad says sternly,"it feels good to say that"
My mom laughs,"let's head home"
Home,that sounds nice.
