Beautiful Boy: Jacob Elordi

Brooklyn Akers

I'm getting off the plane at LAX, in a not so Miley Cyrus way. I've had the absolute worst possible morning since I left New York. My suitcase broke while I was putting it in a taxi this morning, and I had to make Kat bring me one down to the sidewalk, while I rearranged my whole suitcase and let the poor taxi driver continue with his morning. Then, I spent the next 10 minutes waiting for another taxi to actually stop for me on the sidewalk, and then the fucking traffic. Thats all i'm gonna say because i'll have road rage again.

All of that ran me so late for my flight that I missed it by 45 seconds. Literally. Was sprinting to the gate, I could hear the final boarding call, and then the latch of the door, as came to a screeching halt in front of the gate agents desk. "I'm sorry miss. The doors have already closed." She said. "I gathered that." I mumbled. "Can we book you on the next flight out?" She asked. "Please." She said. "It leaves in 30 minutes. I'd start your journey there now or you might miss that one too." She suggested with quite possibly the fakest of fake smiles i've ever seen. I greeted her with one right back, as she handed me my boarding pass and I took off again to the gate on the complete opposite side of the airport.

I was planning on telling Zendaya that the plane was running late, and that it wasn't actually me that sent this whole plan back almost a complete hour by the time my next flight took off. If she even asked.

Finally, I'm making my way down the escalator, and on the lookout for her driver. She said they'd be holding a sign by so far, not seeing anything. Oop, yes I do.

I walked over to the man holding a large white sign. Brooklyn Akers. Like reading a marquis at radio city. I approached the man with a smile, and almost as if he recognized me, he said "You must be brooklyn. Right this way." He said. He tucked the sign under his arm, and led me out to the small loading dock out a side door. There was way less hustle and bustle as normal pick up and drop off at airports. And by way less I mean the large black Cadillac SUV is the only one parked outside. Flashers on and everything. He opened the back passenger door, and held his other hand out to me. "I'll take your bags. Make yourself comfortable." He said. He grabbed the handle of my suitcase and I stepped inside the car. "Oh my gosh. She's arrived." Zendaya said, her eyes sparkling when she saw me. "I'm so glad to be here, I could cry. Today has been shit." I said. "I'm so sorry, but i'm so glad you're finally here. You look stunning even thought you've been on an airplane." She said. "No, don't lie. I'm sitting next to you right now. Nobody can be stunning in comparison." I said. She shook her head.

"He's going to flip." She said. "Good or bad?" I asked. "Good obviously. He's so sweet, he might just cry." She said, giggling to herself. "I doubt he'd do that." I said. "I don't know. He was so bummed when you two got off the phone the other day. I swear he didn't speak to anybody for the rest of the day except when he was filming his scenes." She said. "That makes me so sad." I said sticking my bottom lip out, to fake cry/pout at the idea of him being so torn up over that.

"He's supposed to be filming his last scenes right now, hopefully we can make it back in time for you to throw your bags in his car, and then wait in his trailer. it's going to be perfect." She said clapping her hands. I smiled, "Thank you so much for doing all of this. I'll never be able to repay you." I said. "Oh no need. Just keep me up to date with links of every outfit you wear and we'll be good." She said. "How about we just plan to go shopping while i'm here and we can buy double of everything?" I said. "Oh you do not have to tell me twice. I'll drop everything to meet you for that." She said.

We finally made it to the set, and it was a large field kind of in the middle of nowhere. All the cars from the show were parked out next to the row of trailers, and i'm assuming the casts cars were parked in a separate lot that was roped off, and had a guard tower. Weird set up, but okay.
