Little Bird

Little Bird Part 4

After drinking for about an hour I decided to check on Blair, who had been very quiet since the start of the flight. 

“Want a beer?” I wondered carrying one to her as I sat next to her on the plane. She pulled her earphones out of her ear, and look at me.

“No I try not to drink so much anymore.” She shrugged I set the beer in my lap.

“Are you okay?” I wondered, worried about my friend who had recently broken up with her boyfriend because he was going to an University in Ireland, and the long- distant thing never really does work out.

“Yeah I am fine.” She shrugged. I could see that look in her eyes which means that she is lying.

“What is really wrong?” I asked seriously.

“What are you going to do, after the vacation?” She asked looking up at me. I was surprised by this question, I thought she knew what was going to happen, considering I only talk about it all of the time.

“I am moving back to London with Ed and then I am going to go on tour with him.” I explained. I had told her this many times, why she had forgotten, simply made no sense.

“What do you mean Hadley? You can’t really do that.” She insisted. I got slightly annoyed at the persistent in her voice.

“What the hell are you talking about? This is what I want to fucking do. So I am going to fucking do it.” My words slurred out of my mouth, they came out harsher than I expected them to.

“Why don’t you go to a University? Why don’t you make a future for yourself?” She asked, her voice calming.

“He is the only future that I have ever wanted though.” I explained softly.

“But you aren’t even dating him, you guys are only friends, I would be more okay with this if you were like dating or in love or something.” She explained almost angry at me for deciding to do all I have ever wanted to do in my future.

I had never really had the thought of doing anything else, of going to a university, because through most of my high school career I counted down the days until I could once again be with Ed. Not because I was in love with him or anything, but because it was the only thing I had ever really thought of doing. I have also always been interested in sketching and writing poems, but I can’t really go to a university for that.  

“You just can’t understand.” I said downing more of my beer, I just wanted to feel numb again, I hated her doing this to me, it wasn’t fair.

“I just want you to be okay with your future, because I love you, okay?” She said grabbing the beer from my hand, and chugging a sip down.

“I love you too.” I slyly said snatching the can back.

“We are here!” Niall yelled from the front of the plane.

Once we landed the boys still refused to tell us where we were. There were a few people that noticed them, at the airport, and they stopped to take pictures with them. Blair and I kept back very quietly.

 I kept trying to look for a sign somewhere, just something to give me a hint of where we could be, but there wasn’t anything. Ed almost shoved us out of the door and into a taxi.

Our taxi driver was Mexican but that didn’t really give us any hints at all because we could be anywhere. The Taxi was a minivan so we could fit into it. It seemed like the drive took forever, almost an hour. The radio wasn’t even on. I kept trying to look at signs or anything but Ed made me sit in the back of the Taxi between him and Harry and whenever my eyes ventured out of the car to long he would push my face forward.
