Morgan's POV

To put things lightly, I have been working my ass off. 15 hour days, 6 days a week, for the past 3 months.

Sleep is overrated.

But here I am, sitting on my front porch at 5am waiting for my mom to pull up to bring us to the airport. I am exhausted. Haven't slept, and can't on the plane because I will be to fucking paranoid to take my eyes off of Mia for 2 seconds.

Finally, I see headlights pull up in front of me. Dragging the suitcase full of mine and Mia's clothes behind me to the trunk I can't wait to close my eyes on the way to the airport.

"Morning." I mutter climbing into the passenger seat. I look back and my baby sister is still in her pajamas with messy hair and eye boogers.

"We are going to see bubba." she smiles.

"Yeah." I turn back around with a lazy smile and close my eyes.

"I'm gonna try to rest on the way." I whisper to my mom. Almost instantly falling asleep.

"We are hereeeeeee!!!" Mia is jumping up and down in the backseat, smacking the head rest of my seat.

Not a great way to be woken up from a power nap. But I plaster on a smile and reply with a dull "yay".

"Say bye to mom, I'll grab the suitcase. Don't forget your back pack." I tell the munchkin in the back seat. "Bye Ma" I say.

With half open eyes, and knowing I look a mess in my giant hoodie and leggings I grab everything I need and head to the sidewalk to let Mia out of the back door.

She catapults her self into my arms and latches on to me like a god damn spider monkey.

"BUBBA! BUBBA! BUBBA!" she cheers.

"And Sam." I say.

"SAM! SAM! SAM!" she cheers again.

She is way to awake right now, and I know there is no way she will be sleeping on this flight.

We turn for the entrance of the airport and my mom rolls down her window and says "Behave. The BOTH of you."

Why am I being warned about my behavior at 23 years old?

"Yeah." I reply

"I will be on my BEST behavior Mom, I love you!" Mia lets one of her arms from around my neck to wave and blow a kiss.

She is lucky she weighs a whole 50 pounds because I am now carrying her, both of our backpacks, and dragging this stupid suitcase. I just want to sit down.

I need friends to bring on these trips, or a fucking boyfriend. I roll my eyes at my own thoughts.

Yeah fucking right.

Finally, we have made it through security and are waiting at our terminal. Mia is laying across the chair next to me with her head on my lap, scrolling through TikTok while I have my AirPods in with my head laid back and eyes closed.

"Now boarding flight 571, Albany to Orlando."

"Alright, let's go." I whisper to Mia, pushing her hair out of her face.

"Is there wifi on the plane? Sam and Colby posted a new video yesterday and I wanted to wait to watch it with you."

I just simply nod with a smile on my face.

Every Sunday Mia is at my house waiting for them to post a new video. Unfortunately, I snuck in a final 12 hour shift before this trip.

At least I will be entertained for the first hour of this flight.

Orlando, Sam and Colby... here we come.
