Ilarias POV

Saturday 6:30 a.m.

The past two days went by too quickly, I couldn't even get a good nights sleep. I felt too tired already and as soon as I went home, I was going to sleep. The thought made me smile for a second.

As I was getting ready for the last time, checking for anything important I received a text from Tina:

Tina💕
Hey sis, can't wait to see you todayyy. Just to let you know, Antonio will pick you up from the airport today. I'm sorry I can't come, darling, I need to stay with Carina, she constantly wants me with her. I love you and be safe x.

I smiled at her text, feeling somewhat welcomed already. I wonder if mum and dad knew, and if they did, were they excited like Tina? A little sadness came onto me and I sighed.

Me: Don't worry about it sis I totally understand, and I can't wait to see you too. Btw does mum and dad know I'm coming?

Tina💕
Yeah I told them, dad was really happy and he missed you a lot, mum was happy too but I think she's gonna go out in a few hours. By the time you're here, hopefully, she'll be back too babe. Don't worry about it x.

Me: Okay sis I'll talk to you later, taxis here rn. I love you.

Tina💕
I love you too sweetie.

And on that note, I closed my apartment door, giving it a good glance and locked it. I was going to be back in a few months anyway, so I kept the key with me, just in case if anything happens. In these student apartments you had to be careful to lock the doors carefully and properly because most would steal things from you. A few months ago, a girl named Lilly's laptop got stolen and she was never able to get it back, and since that incident, I've been very cautious on locking the door carefully. Creeps I swear.

As I left the apartment, the taxi was already waiting and I let the driver help put my luggage at the back. "Anything else?" he said. "No that's it thank you", I replied politely and smiled lightly. He smiled back and our journey to the airport began.

8:00 am.
The airport didn't seem to be quite busy at these times which was a relief. My outfit today was quite simple, black jeans and a grey Nike top, and my hair was in a tight ponytail. To finish the combination, I wore my black Nike shoes. Waiting for the flight, I got myself an iced coffee latte from Starbucks as the weather was quite hot today. I couldn't imagine Italy.

9:30 am.
"Flight to Italy. Can passengers please make their way to block C15 please". After the little nap, the announcement woke me up instantly and we started making our ways inside the plane.

Handing my passport for a final check, the woman smiled politely at me, giving me approval and said "here you go, ma'am. Enjoy your flight". I smiled back and said, "Thank you. Have a lovely day".

And with that said, I entered the plane. I always wanted to be kind to people, to reply politely and smile. That's what dad taught me. You can never know what they're going through. Some people hide their emotions too well you can't even realise their inner torture (like me). That's why being kind was always the best thing to do on this planet. Plus, it didn't cost you anything as well. You can even make their day without knowing.

Now this time it was a bit more crowded inside the plane, babies crying and children excited for watching movies and doing colouring the cabin crew gave them, while I just sat there with my earphones on and waiting to arrive at my country. I missed it there. Too much. At least I might feel a little better there. Away from the past and maybe, maybe some hope that everything will be okay.
