Chapter 16: Conquering Fears
"I can't believe that we're going to fricken New York. To see Annie!" Lilly hugs me as I'm at her door. I told Tara to come over, but she has work. We have to pack, and I brought basically all my clothes.

"So I found out from Hunter what Kyle is planning."

"Huh?" She furls her eyebrows. I nod to the stairs and we rush to her giant room.

I tell her the story while she packs. "He was dared to have slept with you in a month...then he'd not talk to you. Because that's what guys do." I clench my teeth. "And he also said that he isn't into you, which means you have to be on your A game."

"The weird thing is, when we're hanging out, he's a weirdo. I'm just being honest." she holds up her hands. "He doesn't seem like he'd do that."

"Oh Lilly. Boys are jackasses. You have to know that." I say, looking down. "All I'm trying to say is, be careful. And I don't want to see my best friend getting hurt."

"Awww." She gets up, and hugs me tightly. "I love you so much, B."

"You too L." I giggle. "Now let's get packin'."

After we were done, we had a little dance party, and Tara, Devin, and Levi showed up. "Party? Without me?!" Levi pumps his fist. Good thing Lilly's parents aren't home. Good lawyers they are, letting their child hanging out with world famous rockstars.

Sometimes I just forget, and maybe that's a good thing, because they are really nice people.

"When's the flight again?" Devin asks.

"3 hours." Tara says, sitting on the couch (more specifically on Devin's lap). It's 4 o'clock on a Friday.

"When do we have to be at the airport?" I ask.

"Well Orion and Hunter are suppose to be here soon." Levi checks his phone. "I'll text them." We have a giant group chat (although my phones crap <I'm not complaining!!> so it's hard to get them).

Hunt: we'll be there in 5, damn traffic

Levi: okay

******

"Is this your first time flying?" Orion is sitting next to me on one side (the isle). Hunter's at window. People probably think I'm crazy, one:I'm with two of the biggest boy bands around, and two:I'm with two guys....on my first flight.

"Yup." I say, looking at him nervously.

He pats my leg casually, "Well, you've got Hunter and I right here if you need us."

"Thanks Or." I give him a friendly smile.

I plug in my iPod, some Shawn Mendes. I don't care if people hate him, his music is relatable, and I just love it.

"Hello, this is Patrick Regg, and I'll be your pilot for your flight to New York. We ask of you to-" I tuned out, not really caring. But I took out my earbuds for the last bit. "-members going to our destination...please don't interrupt them too much as they have asked of us to ask you. Thank you, see you on the ground."

"Can I listen to my music?" I ask Hunter dumbly.

"Yeah, turn your iPod to airplane mode....I think its the same for you." he glances over my shoulder, breathing down my neck.

A shiver ran down my back, and I tried to cover it by saying I was cold. Making him take off his jacket and he wrapped it around me. God.

When we start moving, I grab the armrests. I close my eyes and try to focus to the rhythm and beat of Maroon5.

I felt Hunter grab my hand, but I was focusing on not throwing up. Did I mention I'm deathly afraid of heights?

Then the plane's engines turned to rapid fire, and I couldn't hear myself think. My throat went totally dry as we speed down the road.

Slowly ascending into the sky. I close my eyes, and remember all the good memories with Lilly.

I remember when we were in middle school, and we went to a pg-13 movie. I got so nervous about someone saying something-seeing we were only 12. I know, such rebels.

Then I remembered the time when Lilly had her first date with Gabe Commons. I had done her hair, and managed to burn it (this was freshmen year), and she was pissed off at me for a solid week.

Unlike me, she had a few other people she spoke to. I was the looser who was attached to her like a fucking lost puppy. I hated it that I was always the one trying to seek attention. It was terrible.

"You okay?" Orion leans over at me. Or I think he did, because I felt his breath fawn on me.

"I'll manage." I say in a hushed tone, but he must've heard me, because the breathing was gone, and I was left with the soothing of my music.

Sorry it's short. Big things are happening!!! I'm so excited for yall!!!! Eeekkkkk AND WERE ALMOST HALFWAY TO MY GOAL!!!!!!!
