Ashley POV

Me and Lily made our way into the airport. The boys had already reached the airport as I went shopping with Lily.  "You know that you are rich and you can just take a private to the spot," Lily said.

"Yeah, and then have 100 articles or blogs saying that I am scared to travel with the guys or I am intimidated by them," I said.

"I still don't understand how you handle all this," she said just as we reached the boys.

"They make it a bit easy" I whispered to Lily. Alex kissed his girlfriend when I noticed Theo walking towards me. He came straight at me and wrapped his hands around me.

"You ok there champ?" he asked. "Never better" I replied. "There is my girl"  giving me a hifi. This is why I love Theo. Never treats me differently or is vulnerable when something happens.

"We should go. It's time." Alex said as we moved into the plane. I entered the plane and secured my bag. Struggled a bit with it when Max crossed paths with me and helped me with a hand.

"How are you, Dutchie?" I asked him. "I should be asking you that," he said I put a finger up. "Don't" I said.

"I can. Don't think they can" he said pointing behind me. I turned around and noticed all the drivers' eyes on me. I closed my eyes and gave out a sigh.

"Guys, I'm fine" I announced. Charles put his hand up trying to say something. "No. I am fine. Thank you. I appreciate it." I said and they all gave me a nod. I turned around and looked at Max again.

I sat on my seat annoyed and put another bag next to me. "No one is sitting with me. Disperse now" I said.

"Ash-" Alex started. "I said no," I said sternly. They all moved away and took their seats.

Third Person POV

George opened his eyes from his nap due to the turbulence. Lando was sleeping beside him. Alex and Lily cuddled with each other opposite him. He noticed Ashley who seemed to be wide awake scrolling through her phone. She looked a bit pale due to lack of sleep. Pretty much everybody on the plane was asleep. They had to. They had the event and the next day they needed to get to the track.

George pulled out his phone and texted Ashley.

GR: "You should sleep".

Ashley noticed the message and immediately her eyes looked into George. She gave him a grateful look.

AK: "Couldn't" she sent him and she noticed Lando. She took her duvet and raised it from her seat to cover Lando with it. She could see him whimpering a bit due to the cold. Just as she was about to stand up George put a hand up telling her to stop.

He stood up. Walked towards her. Took the blanket from her and covered Lando with it. He snuggled inside the fabric and Ash gave George a thankful look. He made his way again towards her and sat beside her.

"Are you thinking of adopting him?" George joked for she gave out a smile. George noticed that it had been a few hours since he had seen it on her face. She was always a smiling person and it pained him to see her like this.

"He's a good kid," Ashley said. "Kid? Ash, you are like a year older than him" he gave out a laugh. "I know. I know. But I do feel like taking care of him sometimes" She said.
