"Joe, the plane is leaving in 5 hours. Why do you want to leave now?" I asked him, still in my pyjamas knowing damn well that we are only 30 minutes away from the airport and we have enough time for everything. More than enough.
Joe looked at me, sighed and sat on the bed.
"Look" I started talking as I sat next to him, "I know you are excited, stressed, and a million other things. But we have enough time and we won't miss it" I said while rubbing his back.
"You are right Faith, sorry I -" he tried to apologize, but I immediately cut him off.
"No, don't even try to apologize. I get it" as I said that, he just smiled at me and hugged me.
"Are you sure they would be okay with me on the set?" I said.
Me and Joe talked about this a lot recently. He said he wouldn't be able to go on set without me some near, which I understand. It's a lot. So of course I said I can be there with him. But I don't know if I can.
"You can" he said, interrupting my thoughts.
"I was emailing the director about some things, and I mentioned this as well. You can be there if you want to""Of course I will be there, I'm glad I can" I smiled.
[4 hours later, at the airport]
"Are you seriously telling me we are not sitting together on the plane?" I said while we were waiting at the airport.
Turns out we have free tickets, since Joe is starring in the show. But what we didn't know is, they paired up the seats how they wanted, and we figured out just now. Joe is apparently sitting with Kit Connor, soon Nick Nelson, since they have to get to know each other before the shooting. It's because they need to have strong chemistry in the show, and you can't have chemistry with a total stranger.
"I didn't know that, but we can survive it, right?" he turned his head to me, and I gave him a little nod. But I was very anxious about all of it.
"You are right, it's just one small flight"

After a few steps since we came into the plane, Joe already spotted his seat. Mine was only a few meters from his, so we were still pretty close to each other if something happened.
"See you man" I tapped Joe on his shoulder, practically leaving him for another hours.
I got into my seat, and there was no one sitting at the one next to me. I guess it's not going to be that bad after all. At least I will -
"Faith?" I heard someone calling my name from behind my back. I immediately turned around. As I did, I saw Sebastian sitting next to me.
"Seb!" I said all excited.
"You got the role!" I practically yelled, causing everyone to look at me."What are you doing here?" he said with a big smile on his face.
"You remember my best friend? He got the role! I'm here with him!" I said all hyped, definitely looking weird. However, Seb was hyped with me the whole time that I was talking.
"No way! Where is he?" he immediately asked. I pointed at Joe, sitting still alone.
Seb stood up and waved to Joe. It took a few seconds for Joe to notice Sebastian, but in the end Joe waved him back with a smile on his face. Seb then sat back and immediately burst out.
"I actually saw him in the waiting room at the audition!" he said.
I just laughed. "It looks like everyone knows everyone here, which is unreal"
"It's absolutely a good thing though" he said, just smiling slightly.
I nodded and took my headphones out of my bag for the time if it got bored. We were still waiting for some people because there were still some seats empty.
"How about we watch a movie together? I mean, at the same time" Seb said all of a sudden, at which I nodded.
"Avengers?" I said and smiled a bit, turning my head to him.
"Pft, classic" he said, but immediately searched the movie up. I did the same. We both moved it to 00:00, and -
"Boom" he said as he hit the play button on both devices at the same time, successfully.
Not many minutes passed by, and almost everyone was in their places. We were missing just one person, and he had only a few minutes left.
I stopped both of our devices at the same time, and stood up so I could see Joe clearly. Exactly what I thought. Empty seat beside him. Not that it was bad for myself, but it was definitely not good for Joe and for the show.
I sat back at my place, Seb just looking at me all confused. I just shaked my head, and played the movie again at the same time on both devices as before.
Literally 2 minutes after that, I heard loud thuds behind us, since we were sitting with our backs to the entrance.
And there he was. My eyes were practically glued to his back, but I don't really think he noticed me, which is only good sign. He sat beside Joe and they right away started talking.
At least we're not missing anyone now.
