Black and White Hearts

Chapter 4: Awaiting an Answer

Caleb feels himself slowly beginning to open his eyes when his alarm goes off, him mentally and physically groaning as he slaps his hand against his phone, going to turn off his alarm and wipe his eyes while slowly beginning to sit up, him seeing the clock read five thirty in the morning.

He tells himself that at least whenever he gets back home he can just sleep in whenever he wants to, telling himself he just needs to get up and get ready to go on a plane flight just to get home.

He orders room service for breakfast before getting in the shower, because the last thing he wants to do is eat airplane food. He goes to take a quick shower before coming out, him going to moisturize and do his normal routine before going to put on his boxers and black joggers with white writing at the sides, not worrying to knot the two black strings that hang loosely, him also putting on a long sleeved simple T shirt and black sneakers, going to make sure he is all packed up before leaving out of the room.

He makes it all of the way down the hall before stopping, knowing Sadie's room is to his right. He goes to turn to the room door, him going to stand in front of it before hovering his fisted hand at the door, wondering would he be waking her up or not. He goes to knock softly at her door, him waiting a few moments before he turns off.

Caleb looks back towards the door when it opens, Sadie being in a white long hotel robe with her damp hair in a bun, some strands hanging free. "Hey." He greets in a soft whisper.

"Hey." She says softly while smiling at him. "You off on your plane?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to say bye first." Caleb responds.

Sadie smiles while holding her arms out, Caleb going over to her and going to hug her, her eyes closing while her arms go around him, his arms going around her. "Bye Caleb, hope to see you soon." She says after they pull away lightly.

"Hope to see you soon too." Caleb responds.

"I love you, and get some sleep you look exhausted." Sadie says.

"Yeah I am." Caleb says while lightly rubbing his eyes a little bit. "Love you too, get some sleep too."

"Okay." She says, him smiling at her before going to walk down the end of the hallway to the elevator, him going to get inside of it and Sadie watching as the elevator doors close in front of him, her smiling softly before closing her room door.

Caleb puts his stuff in the trunk before going to get in the car, him sitting in the back while the man drives, Caleb yawning lightly while leaning back in his seat while going to put in his AirPods in his ears, going to listen to slow soft music for his tired and exhausted mood.

When he gets to the airport he goes to put his hood over his head along with a face mask, really not feeling like being recognized right now and thankful that he has first class alone. He goes to make his way inside of the airport with his luggage, going to show his identification and information before they let him in, him putting his baggage up at the top before going to plop down on one of the soft plush white chairs.

He goes to recline the chair back while still listening to his music, him going to slowly close his eyes.

Sadie goes to put her hair up in a neater bun without any strands free, not feeling like having any hair in her face. She just tells herself to get through the long hours of the flight that way she can get home to her bed and sleep for as long as she wants and of course to be able to see her family.

She goes to put on some dark blue sweatpants of hers and a baggy dark blue oversized hoodie, going to put the hood at the top of her head, at least to the point where her bun is. She makes sure that she has everything packed before she puts on her AirPods and leaves out of the hotel, going to get in the car that drives her to the airport.
