Lost It All

Furry Friends

Alora's P.O.V.

//LANDING IN LAX\\

I guess I must have fallen asleep after I sang, cause the next thing I knew was I was trying to be woken up gingerly. "Alora, we're here. It's time to get up." I heard the familiar, smooth, sultry voice. My eyes slowly fluttered open and I had to try and remember what was going on and why Ashley Purdy was waking me up. I blinked a few times and made sure that my hood was on my head and grabbed my bag which was a vintage paratrooper bag with a biohazard symbol on it. I used to call myself a closet zombie hunter when my dad was still here. I ran my hand over the bag, I was about to start crying again but I had to stop myself. I took in a breath and calmed myself down. When I tried to get out of the chair I winced a bit and put my hand on my ribs. "You okay?" Ashley asked and held his arm out for me, I didn't take it. "Yeah, my ribs are just shifting. I'll have to take some more pain medication." I said softly and started to walk out of the cocoon and off the plane and into the airport. I don't know what had come over me, just leaving Ashley there like that. But I really did need to take my medication and I was in too much pain to have to wait for him to get his things. I went to a restroom and cleaned myself up. Fixing my hair the best way that I could and touching up my makeup then taking my pills. Antibiotics, pain medication and the most important birth control. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair. "Maybe once the stitches fall out it won't look so bad." I whispered to myself and touched my head. Quickly I pulled my hand away feeling the heat and that reminded me of the crash. I shook my head and tried to wipe the pained look off my face and went back out into the airport and went to the baggage claim, I saw Ashley over by a planter on his phone he was putting it away right when mine buzzed. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that I had gotten a twitter alert; opening it I saw that it was a tweet by Ashley. "Time to get coffee and get a furry friend for my new friend." I almost giggled but it seemed to hurt to try and do that. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket and walked over to the carousal to get my luggage and Ashley walked over to me. "Hey, need some help?" He asked with a smile. "Please. I have three bags." I said a little embarrassed. I grabbed two of my black wheeled suitcases and Ashley took those and all we were waiting for was an averaged sized duffel bag. There were two more bags on the carousal and there was me and a little girl waiting with her parents. I grabbed my bag, it had a hello kitty luggage tag on it and Ashley seemed to laugh. "Nice tag." He grinned. "Thanks." I said lightly and put the bag over my shoulder and started to walk towards the pickup area where the rest of the guys were. "Hey, you okay chick?" CC asked putting his arm across my shoulders. "I'm fine. And my name's Alora. Just saying." I said as I pushed my hair back from my eyes. "Wait, wait. You're that girl that called me a twitter whore two years ago huh?" CC seemed astonished, just as if he couldn't believe that I used to be that bubbly girl that would speak my mind and smile all the time. "Yeah, that's me." I said with a sigh and shrugged his arm off my shoulder and walked over to the curb and hailed a cab. Ashley followed me and helped put my bags in the trunk. "Want me to go with you so we can go to the shelter?" He asked, I shook my head. "I want to go to my place and clean up a bit more but I can send you a message on twitter or something." I said quietly, it wasn't like I didn't want to go with Ashley and I know I wasn't really acting like a fan either but I wasn't myself at all. "Or, I could just give you my number and you can just call me and I can pick you up." He said with a chuckle. "I uhm, okay." I slowly reached into my pocket and took out my phone and unlocked it, glad that I had changed my wallpaper to a picture to one of my mom and I because it used to be of Ashley. He put in his number and called his phone with it so he would have my number. "Okay, well I guess I'll call you later then." I said taking my phone back from Ashley. "Yeah, I'll see ya." He smiled and gave me a gentle hug to be careful of my ribs. I gasped out of shock and hugged him back carefully then CC and Jake hugged me as well. I waved goodbye to Jinxx and Andy cause they were already on the phone talking to Sammi and Juliet. Getting into the cab I got a call from my grandma. I answered and we talked while the cabbie drove me to the apartment. She just wanted to make sure that I was okay and I assured her that I was and that I was going to try and have fun at the concert that night. We said our goodbyes and we got to the apartment as soon as I had hung up. I paid the driver and he helped me with my bags and I made my way into the lobby of the very glamorous lobby and got my new key from the desk manager and she helped me two the tenth floor landing with my bags and I thanked her before unlocking the door and seeing the boxes of my things that were delivered the day before. My bed was all set up already. So I set my things down and made the bed and got out a clean outfit and went to take a nap for a bit.
