It Started With A Friendship #Wattys2016

Chapter 11

It had been a few months and I could not believe I was actually doing this I was going to visit the GAC in Vegas as I finished packing my suitcase I turned towards my bedroom door and saw Sophia standing there yes she knew where I was going and of course she told Nick but I did not care about him no more he hurt me and he did not want to be with me anyway.

"Are you nearly ready to go?" she walked into my room and helped me pack the few more things I had to put into my suitcase.

"I guess i'm ready just hate going alone"

"I'm sure you will be fine and your getting picked up from the airport so you shall be fine"

I must admit Sophia had changed this past month unsure why maybe she knew that I was not a little girl no more but I was becoming a grown woman. I zipped up my suitcase and picked it up off the bed and put its wheels onto the ground popped up the handle and followed Sophia our of my bedroom. We walked to her car and placed my suitcase into the trunk.

"Want to go and see Nick or Jen first?"

"Nope I shall see Jen when I get back and when it comes to Nick"

I did not answer that bit of the question and just got into the passenger seat placing my headphones in and putting my music on my phone and shutting the world out for now.

We arrived at the airport and I turned my music off and grabbed my suitcase out of the trunk and got my passport and ticket out then walked into the airport Sophia quickly walking behind me wow it was busy in here how was I going to cope on my own, I am not always good with people especially when I am on my own I fount the airline I was flying with checked my suitcase in then had a quick coffee with her before we went our separate ways she gave me a strong hug before she left and I headed to departures.

I watched as I fount the gate I needed to get to glancing quickly at people as I passed through there was alot of families travelling together something I would have to get used to travelling alone but what is saying that I would want to go and visit the GAC in Vegas again this was a very big step for me and I had no idea why I was even doing it. It was not long till my flight got called and they was opening the gate my nerves was really setting in now as I saw how much people are actually going onto this flight but at least it was not a long flight about 6 hours and I would be in Vegas.

6 hours later....

We had just landed in Vegas and I was waiting for my suitcase to come round I must admit I was alot more relaxed now I was back on solid ground, I grabbed my suitcase and headed out to where everyone waited for people as soon as I went through the doors I looked around for the guys but I could not see them anywhere.

I walked further and looked around still no sign of them did they forget I was coming I got out my phone and dialed Zak's number.

"Hey how's it going?"
"Im in Vegas you remember I was coming right?"
"Of course I'm just in the gents at the airport"
"OK I shall walk over and wait outside for you"
I ended the call and walked over to the gents and waited patiently for him to meet me he walked out and I instantly looked at him he had had his hair cut and he had his sunglasses on he took them off when he saw me and gave me a bog hug.

"Welcome to Vegas! did you have a good flight?"
"Its was OK I guess"
He took my suitcase from me as we began to walk towards the exit.
"I guess you have to get used to travelling alone huh?
"Yes its not a long flight though so I can't complain"
"The others are at my house as you are staying in the guest room....we did not see the point in all of them coming"
"That I don't believe you just wanted to see me all alone didn't you?"
He blushed slightly I was different with him then I was the first time I guess I had gotten used to him well I think I have.

I followed him to his car of course I did not know what it looked like he opened the passenger side door for me while he put my suitcase in his trunk I sat in and fastened my seatbelt and waited for him I watched as he shut the trunk and got into to the drivers seat and smiled at me.
"You ready to see Vegas then?"
"Ready then I ever will be" he started his car up and we sped off I took in all the scenery as we drove along it was so different to Boston of course it would be its Vegas the drive was about a hour and then we reached his place.

As we pulled into his drive I just looked up at his house in astonishment I just lived in a small house his was massive he stopped his car and turned the engine off exiting his car and going in the trunk I got out and waited for him.
"Go ahead its open"
"Its fine I shall wait for you"
he got my suitcase out of the trunk and walk up to his front door opening it and placing my suitcase by the door why a dog came running towards him wagging her tail.
"Did you miss you dad Gracie this is Lisa"he stepped aside as she inspected my shoes and wagged her tail at me.
"ohhh she likes you"
"Is that my bro I can hear?"
Aaron appeared out of nowwhere and gave me a hug.
"Good to see you again come on come and join the rest of us why he sorts your suitcase out"
I folowed Aaron into the kitchen all the others was sitting around outside so I followed him outside they all stood up and gave me a hug.
"So how have you been?" jay asked.
"I've been good same old same old"
"at least you are here now" Zak joined us putside gracie following behind him as he sat next to me throwing a ball for her.
"Don't worry we won't pressure you into doing anything with us you can chill and stay with Gracie all day if you like"
"that would be a no you have to shoe me Vegas you know that right?" I gave a little smile to zak when I said that.

"we all have to work to I shall when I can" I nodded and got more comfy putting my feet up and watching as zak continued to play with Gracie they had made me feel welcome and they did not have to but was it all to true to be true it all seemed to good how they was treating me but they was like how they was on TV.
"You must be hungry Aaron go out and get us all something to eat will you"
he just looked at Zak and I looked across at Aaron.
"Trust me its no bother I'm not hungry"
"don't be draft you must be hungry when we eat you eat" the others decided they would join Aaron on the journey unsure why but hey ho.

Zak watched Gracie sleep as we sat there in silence.
"Thanks for everything but why do you guys want anything to do with me?"
"we see potential in you that's all you are our friend"
"No I'm just a fan and you should not be letting a fan into your life's"
"Why are you going to go to the media?"
"No not at all I enjoy all your company"
"Good to hear we won't treat you badly don't worry about that"
"I know I Do watch your shows you know"
"So what is your favorite episode then?"
"hmmmm to many to think I would say USS Hornet"
"ahhh good choice"
"i can't pick its hard to but I have seen you guys grow and you are getting better and better"
"Thank you that's great to have your support"
he smiled at me yet again and the guys joined us back and we parted a little as we dished our the food.
