Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forgetting

Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forgetting: Part 20

I couldn't sleep. I was waking up, thinking it had been three hours, checked my clock and it had only been 15 minutes. Otea on the other hand was sound asleep, cuddling her teddy bear. I tossed and I turned but I still couldn't sleep. It was excitement. I know I'd only been away from JJ for two weeks but I missed him. I missed his hugs, his cuddles, his kisses. 

"MEG, MEG WAKE UP" 

I groaned, fluttering my eyes to a blurred vision. I wafted my hand to try and knock whoever was screaming my name away. I rubbed my eyes, slowly opening them. Otea was looking over me, hugging my waist.

"MEG MEG MEG WE'RE GOING WE'RE GOING" She shouted down my ear.

It was early in the morning and I really wasn't in the mood. Mother Hamblett walked into the room.

"Meg, we're leaving in 30 minutes, just letting you know"

I moaned and rolled over, my feet touching the cold floor. I walked towards the door, Otea shooting past me out of the bathroom from brushing her teeth. I rubbed my hair, messing it up a little. Walking into the bathroom, I took a look in the mirror. I sighed and swilled my face in the water. I then walked into the shower, turned it on and felt the water run down my body. I stepped out of the shower, ran into my bedroom and dumped some last minute things into my case.  I pulled on my jeans whilst brushing my teeth at the same. I shoved a T-shirt on, put my leather jacket over, my necklace on show and flashed a quick smile in the mirror. I walked into Otea's room, put her hair up, got her case and carried it downstairs leaving it by the door. JJ's dad took it from me, loading it into the car. I stuffed some toast into my mouth and ran into the car, strapping myself in next to Otea. JJ's mum locked the door, got into the car, strapped herself in and the car pulled out of the house, beginning to drive down the road. Otea immediately went back to sleep, her head on her pillow still cuddling her teddy bear. I put my headphones in, turned my ipod on and went away into my own little world. I even started to sing very loudly, until I realised what I was doing and stopped because JJ's mum was laughing at me. I just laughed and smiled back.

We had been stuck in traffic for 15 minutes. Otea had woken up so her dad turned the radio up and we all began to have a family sing to every song that came on the radio. Otea and I were doing some dance in the back of the car, singing at the top of our lungs. Finally, after a two hour journey, Otea shouted out of the window. 

"Look! Look! We're here!"

I looked out of the window to see a gigantic white hotel crowding over me. JJ's dad pulled up into the car park where a chauffeur took the keys and drove the car to be parked. We were told to get out, to wait in the lobby and our cases would be delivered to our rooms. This was one of the poshest hotels I had ever been in. Otea grabbed hold of my hand and we all walked into the gigantic glass doors. JJ's parents walked in front and myself and Otea walked behind. As we entered I looked around in amazement. It was beautiful. The chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling, the diamonds sparking in the light. I looked around shocked. 

"Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, I need the toilet" Otea begged.

"Right ok, I'll take you. Are you ok to check us in love?" She asked to her husband.

"Yes of course, Meg you come with me"

I walked over with JJ's dad. We stood at the reception desk, his dad giving in our details. I stood around bored and tired. Until a voice called me, a voice I'd been dying to hear for two weeks.

"Meg!" It shouted.

I turned around to see JJ stood in his chinos, his t-shirt and his hoodie. I dropped everything and ran straight over to him, jumping on him and nearly knocking him over. I wrapped my legs around his waist and put my head on his shoulder as he span me around. He put me down and we had a long passionate kiss.
