I'm not good at summaries. But basically this is a reader x Helena Bonham Carter fanfiction.
Y/n is just an ordinary 24 year old girl who's dreaming to live in London. She lives farrr away from London. But then she got the opportunity to finally li...
Time skipped to 3 days before my London trip because I just spent a whole month waking up, go to work, back home, sleep, and repeat. Kinda boring soo... let's go!
Today is my last day helping Maggie with her shop. I woke up kinda late this morning because I couldn't sleep last night. I'm too busy packing my things for my trip. Even though I spent all night 'packing', it still not finished. Well it's because I just did it in my mind. I have a hard time choosing which clothing I want to pack and what else should I bring. I feel like I wanna squish my whole house into the suitcase. This trip making me nervous and anxious.
I showed up in the shop like a panda with a messy bun. I look terrible. "Woaahh what happened with you y/n???" Maggie said. "Couldn't sleep. Busy packing for London", I answer as I put on an apron and getting ready behind the cashier table. "Packing? Hmmm your trip is in 3 days, and you already packed? It doesn't sounds like you.", she said with a questioning look. "Well..... I did it..... in my mind", I rolled my eyes, "I just.. I want the trip to be perfect and unforgettable" I sighed. "Your trip will be perfect and unforgettable if you stop overthinking about everything! This trip is your dream boo, just relax and enjoy every moment of it!", Maggie said. I sigh again, "you were right. Thanks Magz. You really sound like an old lady by the way.", I hugged her. "And yet you liked it, right? Just like your type." She mumbled and try to get away from my hug, "WHAA-" I shocked letting her go but before I could respond to her, the costumer start filling the shop. I glanced at Maggie and she start laughing. Does she knows about my obsession??? Is it too obvious?? Oh shit.
Time flies sooo slowly. My eyes start to feel heavier and heavier. I'm exhausted. My work time is done. I say goodbye to Maggie and thank her for the job. Then I went home. It's 8.30 pm and I'm too tired to take a shower. So I change into my pajama, brush my teeth, clean my face, and go to sleep. I fell asleep almost immediately. No dream at all.
In the next day, I surprisingly feel refreshed. I woke up at 10. It's AM not PM of course. I got up to the bathroom and take a shower. After that, I put some hoodie and sweatpants on. I go downstairs and find my mother in the living room sipping her tea while watching tv.
"Good morning mom", I sit next to her. "Oh good morning young lady. It's good to see you finally come downstairs. I thought you were dead up there", my mom jokingly said. "Why you say that? I was just sleeping. Nothing unusual." I rolled my eyes. And she laughed. "I haven't seen you since you back home from your work. And I tried to wake you up 5 times this morning and you didn't even respond when I splashed a water on your face. So I thought you probably on drugs or passed out or something." She continue to laugh. "That's not funny mom!!", she didn't stop. "Okay okay I'll stop. Sorry dear", she stop laughing but then my stomach start to growl. "Go eat your breakfast before your stomach start a marching band and play a rock song. It's in the stove. And please wash the dishes after that". I got up to the kitchen and eat my breakfast.
After washing the dishes, I go back to my room to pack my suitcase. Really packing this time. It took me hours to finish it. Since I'll be in London for 3 weeks, I decided to bring 2 suitcases, one for clothes and the second one is for shoes and other things. I haven't finished the second suitcase tho. Too tired. And then my mother called for lunch. My father and my brother are working so it's only me and my mother.
"Mom. Can we go to the mall tomorrow? I need to buy a few things", I asked. "Are you packing already?" She asked and I nodded. "Okay we'll go to the mall tomorrow, I think I need to buy something for Carol too. We will go at 11." My mother said. "Okie" I agreed. And we continue eating.
Today there's not much I could do. Since I've already packed. So I just watch tv all day until my father came home with my passport, visa, and my plane ticket. I'm getting so excited. I hugged him and thank him over and over again. Now everything starts to feel so real. We keep talking even after dinner. I told them about my plan while I am there. We talked till 10 pm. I went upstairs and go to sleep.
I woke up in the morning and do my usual morning routine. After breakfast, I'm getting ready to go to the mall with my mother. I change to something casual. Black jeans, white long sleeves shirt with black stripes, and a pair of white sneakers. It took 30 minutes to get to the mall by car. When we arrived, me and my mother decided to go to separate way and agreed to meet again in an hour at some restaurants.
An hour passed. I get almost everything I need, and my mother get a gift for Aunt Carol. We have lunch at some Italian restaurant. "Did you get all the things you need?", my mother asked. "Almost everything. I just need a coat. And then I'm done." I said while eating my pasta. "Hmm.. alright. Oh anyway, when is your flight tomorrow?". To be frank I kinda forgot about the exact time, "I think it's around 7 or 8 in the morning". "Geez morning flight. Okay. When we get home, you check your ticket again to make sure the exact time of your flight. I will drop you off at the airport tomorrow. I don't want to be too early or late. Understand?" My mother said sternly. "Yes mom" I respond.
After finishing our lunch, we went to a few shops to get me a new coat. When we're done. We head home. What a day. I checked my ticket and tell my mother about the flight time. It's 7.15 AM. I continue to pack my things and making sure everything is ready. I also done picking up my outfit for tomorrow. It's going to be amazing trip. Then I go to bed early.
I woke up at 5 and getting ready. Taking a quick shower then I change into the outfit that I've already chose last night. I also put a simple make up. I don't wanna look too overdressed but also don't wanna look too basic. Haha

Let's go with this look. Okay?!?!?
We arrived at the airport at 6.30 AM. My mother parked her car and then we went inside and find a seat. I ate a sandwich that my mother packed for me since I don't have much time to eat breakfast at home. While I was enjoying my sandwich, someone came up to us. A young man. My mother recognized him and greet him with a hug. Then he looked at me and give me a sweet smile. Yes guys. That's Jason. Why I always forget about him.
"Y/n this is Jason. You remember him, right?" My mother asked. Jason stretched out his hand to me to shake. "Yeahh of course I remember. It's nice to finally meet you again Jason." I reached his hand and shake it. "Nice to meet you too y/n" he said with a little wink. Hmmm he is weird.
We keep talking until it's time for me and Jason go. I say my goodbyes to my mother and hugged her tightly. We walk to the gate and when we getting close to the gate I turn around to wave goodbye to my mother but she's already gone. So now it's just me and Jason. I'll stuck with him for the rest of the flight or maybe the rest of the trip too. I hope not.
== a/n == I know this chapter kinda boring. I apologize. But please be patient guys. In the next chapter we'll be in London and we'll start our journey! Woohoo 🇬🇧 🎉
