This is Me Trying|| P.G

1. The flight

"Mia cmonn we're gonna miss our flight." I yelled out to her. I watch her run out of her room with a load of bags. She was clearly struggling to carry all of them, but I just watched the free show.

"Uhm. Hello. Are you going to help me!?" she yells at me. I just start laughing as I walk over to help pick up some bags.

"I can't believe your Spain's photographer for the World Cup!!" Mia says, clearly excited.

"I know right!! I mean thanks to you, I wouldn't be doing this." I run up to Mia and give her a big hug.

Mia was my first friend when we moved to France. We instantly clicked. She's been wanting to be apart of the media team for Barcelona. And she actually got hired last year.

Since the World Cup is starting soon, she needed some photographers to help her. Since I'm a photographer she knew I would be perfect for the job. I've only talked to the media team and Spain's football manager. Luis Enrique.

We go outside of Mia'a house to load up my
car. Since we'll spend a lot of time with each other, we thought it would be easier to share a car.

Mia says bye to her family and gets in the car. I turned on our playlist and drive back to my house.

I run into the house. "I'm back! I forgot something!" I rush to my room. Of course the thing I forget is the camera.

I grab the case and open it and do a double check to make sure everything's in there.

I run back downstairs and see my parent's and younger brother waiting at the door.

"You didn't think you'd get to leave without saying goodbye again, did you?" my dad says as he puts his arms out.

I walk into his arms and gave him a big hug. "Have fun. Be safe." he says as I go over to my mom.

"Have so much fun hun. I can't wait to hear all about it." I hugged her for a long time.
Knowing I'll be gone for a while, I felt bad leaving them.

"Bye little bro." I gave him a big hug and kiss his cheek.
I open the door and leave. Shouting I love you to my family.

I run to the car and turn it on. Next stop, the airport.
———————————————————————————
Finally, we got through airport security. Giving us just enough time to grab a bite and make it to the gate.

We walk to a shop located near our gate and walk into it.
I grab 2 packs of gum, some chips and a drink. Mia does the same.

We both pay for our stuff and walk back to the gate.

"How do you think Pedri will react when he sees you for the first time in years?" Mia questions as she opens her bottled drink.

"I'm not sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see him but I'm also nervous. What if he forgot about me?"

Mia looks at me with a raise eyebrow. "Do you really think he's forgotten about you!?" she questions.

We sit down on one of the seats and wait to be called to board the plane.

"Who knows. He's been pretty busy." I grab a piece of gum and pop it in my mouth.

"Flight 13 to Qatar is now boarding." a lady says over the loud speaker.

We both stand up and get in line.

"Well, I'm sure he hasn't." Mia puts her arm around my shoulder.

The lady scans our tickets and we enter the plain, choosing a seat.

I buckle my seat and put my airpods in. Mia does the same.

I turn my music on and look out the window. Mia falls asleep resting her head on my shoulder.

I sigh. 7 hours to go...
