Vinnie's POV
The majority of the car ride to the airport was pretty awkward. We had no idea what to say to each other and there was way too much to think about. I'd be lying if I said the whole scene of Louis and Olivia saying their goodbyes made me feel a little sad, and what on Earth did he whisper to her?
I shook my head to distract me and tried to fill my head up with random thoughts, literally anything to take my mind off it.
"What are you doing?" Olivia's voice came from out of nowhere, breaking the long silence.
"Uh, nothing,"
"Then why were you- nevermind," she dismissed my weird behavior and diverted her attention back to the road.
Silence. Again.
"Are you okay, Liv?" I asked quietly. "Sorry that was a stupid question, I just-
"No, I get it, things aren't exactly easy right now," she admitted.
"And its all my fault,"
"At least you're self aware, acceptance is the first step,"
I paused and looked to see her holding in a laugh, which set me off into a fit of chuckles as well. When the laughter died down, Olivia sighed and licked her lips, still focusing hard on her driving.
"I care about you a lot, Vinnie," she quietly addressed me. The confession was something that the guys constantly said to me but it sounded a lot better coming from her mouth, it gave me hope, even if that hope was a teeny tiny bit.
For the rest of the car ride, neither of us spoke, I knew she didn't want me to reply to what she said , so why screw it up?
Finally, we arrived at the airport and hurriedly gathered all of our luggage to haul on. A wave of paparazzi immediately surrounded us with questions accompanied by camera flashes. Olivia ducked her head, shoved on a huge pair of sunglasses, put her hood up, and grabbed my hand to make a run for it.
"We have to get straight onto that plane NOW," she panted as we sprinted away.
Eventually, we boarded the correct plane and sat down in silence for a few minutes to catch our breath.
"How the fuck did they know we'd be there?" Olivia whispered in confusion before looking me in the eyes.
"Uhhh, I don't know, it could be a pure coincidence," my voice trailed off at the last part as her intense gaze slowly broke me down until the answer was clear.
"Are you being serious right now?" she scoffed quietly. "Faith tipped them off,"
I looked down in shame, not able to meet her eyes, it was obvious they were burning with anger and disappointment.
"My mother is in a critical state right now, the last thing I needed was for pictures of me being taken and being flooded with questions,"
"I know but-
"Don't speak to me, I don't want to hear it," she turned to the side, put on her beats headphones and closed her eyes in order to block me out.
Shit. We hadn't even left yet and we were already off to a terrible start. I put in my airpods and leaned back so I'd fall asleep, hopefully for the entire ride there.
Maybe I'd figure a way out to make it up to her while I was dreaming.
Olivia's POV
Attention all passengers. The plane is due to land any second now. Please make sure all are seated and ready for landing.
I sighed in relief as the announcement was made and out my notebook back in my bag. I wasn't able to sleep much so I just wrote, literally anything I could think of was put down in those pages and I ended up writing a total of 13 songs. It may be an unlucky number, but things honestly couldn't have gotten worse than being stuck with the boy I was pissed off with on my way to see my sick foster mother who I had so stupidly almost forgotten about.
"Vinnie, get up, we're here," I nudged him and stood up to get out of my seat. There was a bunch of yelling outside but I didn't know who it was for, so I instinctively put on my sunglasses and hood up to avoid the chance at being recognised or swarmed by paparazzi, courtesy of Vinnie's insane girlfriend.
"Already?" He muttered sleepily, making me roll my eyes. We quickly got off the plane and onto a taxi waiting for us which gave me the opportunity to send a quick text to Louis.
Menace to Society 🥱 (Louis)
Good evening stupid.
You've landed safely?
Wouldn't be texting you right now if I didn't!
I cannot stand you
You know you're lying

When does your flight for England leave?
About a week from now
Damn- I think I'm back in LA by then.
You definitely planned that out 🤨
Maybe I did 😀
Doesn't matter, we're gonna facetime every other day and when you come back to visit, you're coming over to hang out with me
Bold assumption of you to make, Partridge
How's it going with Vinnie?
His psycho ass girlfriend told the press when we'd be at the airport 🧍🏾♀️
Oof- that's a tough one
I'm fucking livid tbh
Just give him a chance, silly
Mmmm depends on my mood
You are a hot mess
I know I'm hot 😀
