|Noah Bradley|

"Noah, we need to get up our flight leaves in an hour and a half" Sarah says, shaking my shoulders.

"Okay, I'm up" I whisper, getting out of bed and rubbing my eyes.

"Good, now on the flight I want to know what all that screaming between you and Austin was about" She points her finger at me.

"Okay" I nod and grab my suitcase putting it outside my door. I walk to the bathroom throwing all my stuff into my cosmetic bag and grab my Vans slipping them on my feet and walking down the steps carrying my suitcase and cosmetic bag. When I get to the living room, I put my cosmetic bag into the suitcase and flop onto the couch resting my head on Zach's shoulder.

"What happened between you and Austin yesterday?" He whispers into my ear.

"It's a long story" I sigh and he nods.

"You don't have to tell me Baby Girl"

"Good morning everyone, who's ready to go back to good ol' Texas" Mama grins, walking into the living room "I called a couple cabs to take us all to the airport, so its going to be Austin, Alex, Noah and I in one, Sarah, Zach and Robert in the other, Okay? Okay" She informs us and my stomach drops.

I don't want to be in a cab with him.

"C'mon lets go they're here" She claps and we all get up, walk to the cabs and get inside, driving to the airport.

"Noah, you've bee

n quiet all morning" Mama points out "What's wrong?"

"Just tired, I didn't get much sleep" I lie and Austin lets out a sigh.

"Oh, well then I guess you'll be sleeping on the plane" She laugh and I join in with a fake one.

"We're here" The cab driver says, and Mama, and we all get out and check in, and just as we're about to sit down our flight is called and we board the plane.

I find my seat and sit down, Sarah on one side of me and Zach on the other, I breathe out in relief since I don't have to sit next to Austin and see him, his mom, Alex and Robert sitting a few rows in front of us. I buckle my seat belt, when the plane begins to take off and lean my head against the back of the seat.

"Ladies and Gentleman, we are now in the air and you may remove your seatbelts" A woman says over the intercom.

"Tell me what happened between you and Austin" Sarah demands.

"Yeah tell us!" Zach says.

"No, it'll change your views on Austin and I don't want that"

"Is it that bad?"

"It's not that bad, but it still will probably"

"Please tell us" Sarah begs.

"It's nothing major, we just argued, said mean things to each other and ruined our friendship" I shrug, keeping it short and sweet.

"Well why'd you guys start arguing?" Zach asks.

"I ended things, and may or may not have blamed him for things"

"Aww! It's over! Naustin has sunk! My ship has sunk! Noooo!" Zach whines, over dramatically and I giggle.

"Oh my god Zach" I giggle.

"I'm in the same boat as you Zach" Sarah sighs.

"No you're not! No one is on this boat, it sunk! The S.S Naustin sunk" He fake cries.

"Zachary, calm down" I laugh and he laughs and sits up straight.

"I'm just kidding, kind of. Like I am truly bummed you guys aren't together"

"I agree, like the two of you obviously like eachothe-" I cut her off remembering something.

"Oh my god! Speaking of which, Austin and I were having sex and oh my fuck I gave him a hickey and told him he was mine, and he said he always has been! What the hell was that supposed to mean?"

"Holy shit! That means he likes you" Sarah says.

"More like love" Zach smirks, and wiggles his eyebrows.

"I can't even with you guys" I shake my head with a smile, leaning against the back of my seat and closing my eyes falling asleep.

"Noah, wake up, we're landing" Zach wakes me up and I open my eyes, stretching out my arms and legs as the plane hits the runway.

When we land someone comes on the intercom telling us we can all get off the plane and we all stand up and get off the plane. We walk into the airport and Zach taps on my shoulder.

"Look there's your family" He points and I follow his finger seeing my three brothers, my mom and my kitten. I gasp and hand Zach my stuff running over to my family.

"Hey si-" Jake starts.

"Shut up, I'm here for my kitty" I say taking her from Andy and kissing her head "I missed my baby so much"

"We missed you too Bitch" Jake rolls his eyes.

"Aw, I did miss y'all, I just missed my kitty more" I coo, petting Kahili's ears.

"Hey Fam" Zach cheers walking behind me.

"Zachary, how are you?" My mom asks pulling him into a hug.

"I'm great, how about you?"

"I'm good dear"

"Hey mom, can you drive me home too" Sarah whines walking over to my mom, I watch Jake out of the corner of my eye eyeing Sarah and I punch him in the gut.

"You're being noticeable" I whisper, knowing about his major crush on my best friend.

"Sorry" He mutters.

"Noah, are you good? Do you have everything?" Mama asks.

"Yeah I'm good" I nod, and she pulls me into a hug.

"Thank you so much for helping out" She whispers rubbing my back.

"Hi, I'm Cara, Noah's mom" She says holding her hand out.

"I'm Michele, Austin's mom" Mama says shaking her hand.

"It's lovely to meet you"

"You as well"

"Alright guys, let's get going" My mom says.

"Bye Mama, tell the rest of the guys I'll see them Monday"

"Okay I will, bye darling"

"Bye Zach" I hug him kissing his cheek.

"Bye Baby Girl" He says once we pull away and I grab my stuff walking out to my mom's car.

"Sarah, are you coming to our house or do you want me to drop you off?" My mom asks.

"I wanna go to your house, but I want to drop my stuff off at my house"

"Okay, I can do that" She says and starts her drive to Sarah's house.
