It's 3:13am and we were meant to leave at 3 but we haven't yet. 

Mom and Colin are running around the house trying to find the car keys.

No, I didn't move them. (I did) 

I'm sitting in the living room on the couch minding my own business. 

Mom and I haven't said a word to each other since last night. 

She didn't say a word as she came into my room and checked my suitcase and she hadn't said a word to me this whole morning. 

Colin was the one to wake me up and get me downstairs on 'time'.

"JJ do you know where the keys are?" Colin asks me as he looks through the living room. I feel my body shrink into itself from his question and he clearly notices. 

"JJ, where are they?" He mutters. I stare at him blank.

"I won't tell mom okay? But you's really need to leave, mom cannot be late JJ, please?" Guilt, why is that the only thing I've been feeling lately. 

"Glass cupboard, at the back right hand corner." I mutter as I watch relief fill his face and he rushes out of the living room, cheering as he tells mom he found them. I listen as he just tells her where he found them and how he didn't drop me in it but still. 

Colin comes back into the living room and nods his head to the door, signalling to me that we are leaving. I can't help the annoyed huff I let out as I grab my backpack and sling it over my shoulder, pulling my headphones over my ears and turning my music all the way up. 

If I can't hear them I won't think and if I have music playing I won't think at all. 

I begrudgingly get into the car and we are now on our way.

Colin pulls me into a hug that I return saying goodbye as we get onto the private jet. RDJ is already inside with his wife when I walk on and I send them a smile and make my way to a seat in the far corner. 

Me and mom still haven't spoken to each other. 

I watch as mom and Rose climb on and they greet RDJ and from what I hear his wife is called Susan. 

I turn my head to look out the window when mom steals a glance at me. 

I pause my music wanting to be nosey as I can just tell they're talking about me. 

"Teenagers right?" Robert laughs as mom helps Rose into a seat and buckles her in. Mom laughs as a response but it just annoys me. She isn't talking to me either so why should I talk to her? 

More people flood onto the plane and I sit still staring at the window. I don't pay attention to anyone, I can't be bothered for this. 

I feel someone tap my shoulder and I turn and see Chris Evans sitting next to me, he sends me a warm smile and motions for me to take off my headphones so I do. 

"Better buckle up" He says gently and sends me a warm smile. I follow his instructions as I then press play on my music again and turn back to the window, resting my head on the side and going to close my eyes. Hopefully I can sleep for this whole 7 hour journey, I probably shouldn't as when we get to London it will be 4pm, that is definitely going to feel weird.

"JJ, wakes up, we are here!" I hear Rose's excited voice break through my ears, I open my eyes slowly and look out the window realising we are on the tarmac, my headphones have been taken off my head and I've been covered with a blanket, I turn to Rose confused. She looks at me and giggles at my confused face.
