Inferno Part 2

~156~ The Journey

Ellie's POV

I must still be dreaming. Dang this is a good dream.

"I'm not telling you again, Eleanor, get your ass up. Jake's going to be pissed if we miss this flight."

"Jake?"

"Jake. You know, your brother who isn't an ass? Well, not anymore anyways...The guy with muscles and a dark tan...The one who looks EXACTLY like
Nolan? He's anxious to get to him. GET UP."

I sit up, my mind still foggy.

"We're getting Nolan back?"

Taylor smiles and leans over, picking me up and cradling me.

"Yeah, baby girl. Justin called. He's signing his rights away. He's going to be all ours in just a little bit. We have to get you ready to go first," he says, kissing me passionately.

I immediately start crying. I can't let my heart get excited. Not yet.

He sets me down after a minute and squeezes my butt. Then he goes over to my dresser and pulls clothes out.

He hands them to me. "Put them on, darling."

"I have to pack," I say, flustered.

"Sasha did it. She packed all of us."

"Plane tickets?"

"Liam"

"Hotel?"

"Ellie Jane, we have a pretty kick-ass family. Did you know that? Mason got a hotel for us. Alex took care of a lawyer. All we have to do is get your butt dressed and leave. Jake is driving."

I nod, still not thinking clearly as I get a bra on and change my underwear. Did I take a shower before I went to bed? I have no idea.

I get dressed quickly in the leggings and oversized sweater Taylor grabbed for me. When I'm ready, he smirks and grabs my hand.

"Let's go get our son," he whispers in my ear, leading me downstairs.

All the guys are downstairs, watching us. Alex comes up and pulls me into a hug. "So ready to get my girl back," he whispers, kissing my cheek.

I don't say anything. I'm sure this is all a dream, and when I wake up, the pain is going to be crippling.

Jake pulls me into him and kisses my hair. "Let's go get him, little sister."

I say nothing. This has to be a dream.

We get in the car, and I sit in the back. I listen to Jake and Taylor talk about the fastest way to get to the airport, and making sure they have everything.

"Shoot. I didn't pack Ellie's phone," Taylor says.

"Sasha grabbed it while you were upstairs. She threw it in the carry-on bag with the charger."

"Man that girl is amazing," Taylor mutters.

I fall asleep then. I'm just so tired. I'm always so tired.

I wake up to Taylor gently shaking me awake. "We're here, love. Let's get through security and then I'll get you something to eat."

"Not hungry," I yawn as I get out of the car.

"You're eating, young lady," he snaps. Taylor never snaps at me. He never takes that tone with me. It immediately surprises me.

We get in and get through security easily. It isn't as busy when it's still dark outside...When the birds aren't even awake.
