Chapter 4:
"Wake up Camilla!" I feel something hit my feet and my body bouncing up and down on the bed. I squint my eyes open and see Andie jumping up and down on the edge of my bed.
"Andie!" I groan and put a pillow on top of my head.
"We're going to LA wake up!" I peek from under the pillow and check the time, the watch says its 3:31am. I rub my eyes exhausted.
"Andie get off!" I throw my pillow at her and she catches it, throwing it back at me.
"Arse." I state and slowly crawl out of bed. It's so cold! I grab my bed sheets and wrap it around my body like a cloak and drag myself into the bathroom. When I finish washing up I go back into my room and sit at my vanity clicking my lamp on. The light blinds me and I sit there like a mole on my vanity chair for about 5 minutes. When my eyes finally adjust I smear my foundation on my cheeks and forehead covering up any pimples. I whip out my brushes and put vanilla color on my eyelids and put a little brown in the corner. Simple. Then, I just apply my mascara and head to my closet to get dressed. I hear the heating go on vibrating the floor gentle. I stand barefoot staring into my closet. What to wear, what to wear. I check the weather to help me decide on what to wear. The temperature high is 95°F, guessing that it's obviously going to be cold on the plane, I grab a pair of black leggings, my favorite Christmas sweater (although it's only June), and I slip my vanilla colored uggs on.

"Are you ready yet?" Andrea pokes her head in.
"Almost. 2 secs," I look at her in the mirror and finish wrapping my hair around my bun. I quickly put my pearl earrings on and grab my bags laying near the bottom of my bed. One suitcase, a carry on bag with hygienical things, and my purse with purse like things in it. I grab my phone off the vanity and toss it into my purse and head out of my room. I drag the luggage down the white marble stairs.
"Help me Andie." I fall onto the floor and whine. Andie is obviously stronger than me. We're a good match, she has amazing arm stregnth while I have shockingly fantastic leg strength. Andie appears at the bottom of the stairs shaking her head at me and laughing.
"Shut up!" I whine while smiling. She picks my bags up and carries them to the door for me. I bump my butt into her thigh and shout,
"Thanks boo!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"TAXI'S HERE!" I scream.
"SHUT UP! I'M SITTING RIGHT HERE." Andie throws a pillow at me and I giggle innocently. Andie picks our bags up one in each hand and shuffles to the taxi waiting for us. I lock up the door and I run to our neighbor, Eleanor, to let her know we're leaving. When I'm done, I get into the taxi and direct the taxi driver to the airport.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, get out of my car." the taxi driver practically shouts in a Pakistani accent.
"Alright man, calm down." we pile out of the car and Andrea takes care of the bags. We don't have to pay for the taxi because Niall pre-paid him. We roll our bags into the air-conditioned airport. Suddenly I feel sweaty strands of hair start drying and I tuck them behind my ears.
"What gate?" I ask Andrea. She's usually more organized than I am. She looks at me with a smile.
"We have to get our tickets first Camilla." She slowly says as if I'm 3 years old. We head to the Dublin Airlines line and sigh with relief. There is no one on line so we rush to the girl that's sitting around waiting for people, but who has a flight at 9am? No one that's who. So, we get our tickets, let the girl measure our suitcases and put them on the moving tape that leads to the airplane cargo. Then we go look around for a place to eat because we still 1 hour and a half to wait for our take off. We find McDonald's all the way on the other side of the airport, near the gift shop. We order breakfast and sit down at a table.
"Oh my god, this is great," Andie sputters with her mouth full of a sandwich with bacon.
"right?" I agree with her and we finish our food while planning what we'll be doing in America. All I can think is that I'll be in LAX soon with my boyfriend.
