im woken up by my alarm and feeling something heavy around my waist as i turn over on my side, turning it off as i sit up and rub my eyes. 'morning sunshine.' oakley says sarcastically as i roll my eyes, feeling him grip on my hip as he kisses my neck.

'fuck off.' i chuckle, gently pushing him off as he pulls me towards him, pressing a kiss on the top of my head. 'your flight's today.'

'you're coming with me.' he chuckles as i stay quiet before turning us over so i'm straddling him as he continues laughing, putting his hand under my pajama shorts as they sit on my hips.

'yeah, unfortunately.' i speak monotonously as he chuckles, his hand remaining on my thigh.

'why'd you have to be like that for?' he asks as i roll my eyes, eventually laughing as i feel bad for him. i look at our suitcases by the door before looking back at him.

'i cant believe i have to spend 8 hours with you on a plane.' i complain as i see his jaw clench.

'aight you've made your point that you dont like me, dont drag it, yeah?' he speaks seriously as i look down at him.

'im sorry.' i apologise with a small smile as i lean forward, laying on his chest as i wrap my arms around his neck, feeling his body relax and his hands go to my hips.

'its fine, but we need to go soon.' he mutters as i dont move, still feeling bad. after a few moments, i feel his chest vibrate with laughter as his hands move up and down my back. 'im not pissed, dont worry.' he speaks as i stay quiet. i sit up and look down at him as he gives me a big smile, making both of us laugh.

'aight, let's go.' oakley speaks as i get off him, both of us getting up and getting ready.

i look around as i board the private jet, feeling oakley standing behind me as he softly places his hands on my waist to gently move me to the side as he walks past. 'what? do you not have one?' he asks me with a smirk as i roll my eyes, following him as he takes a seat and i take the seat opposite him, earning a glare.

'oh so now you wanna be nice to me?' i ask, getting up as i sit next to him, putting my feet up on his lap as i take my phone out.

'me? you're the rude one.' he scoffs as i laugh, shaking my head.

'i have no idea what you're on about.' i reply as i open instagram, a post catching my eye. 'oh god.' i mutter, reading it.

'what?' oakley asks, looking at me concerned.

'central cee and thalia draganova. friends or dating?' i read the title aloud. 'and the rest is just random pictures of us.'

he shakes his head. 'i can only imagine what they'll be like when we make a song.' oakley adds as i chuckle.

♡

'lia.' i hear, as someone pokes me repeatedly.

'what?' i murmur, turning over before i feel myself getting picked up. 'oakley, put me down!' i yell as he walks through the separated rooms on his jet, putting me down by the exit.

'did you get everything?' he asks me as i check my pockets for my phone before he passes it to me, along with my airpods.

'yeah, thank you.' i reply as he pecks my forehead before we walk down the stairs, the stars illuminating the sky. i feel him pull my hood up and pass me a pair of sunglasses as i take them, putting them on, as i expected what was coming next.
we walk through the airport surrounded by security, hearing people shouting his name as he gives them small smiles, his arm wrapped around my shoulders, keeping us close together.  we walk out of the airport and towards a mercedes van with a driver, oakley urging me to get in before him as he shuts the door behind us as the noise of the crowds are quietened by the door.

'you okay?' oakley asks me as i look up at him and nod, taking my sunglasses off.

'your fans are a lot.' i reply as he chuckles.

'im so tired.' i murmur as oakley unlocks the door to his apartment, the smell of weed filling my nose as i look up at him confused.

a look of anger crosses his face as he storms in. 'mason!' oakley yells, and i remember that he lives here too. i shut the door behind me as i leave my suitcase beside his, looking around the large apartment. it was incredibly modern, having mostly natural light as the walls were covered in floor to ceiling windows. i walk over to a room beside the living room, opening the door as it revealed a studio, making me curious but i decide to not intrude, walking out and shutting the door behind me as i'm met by oakley and mason. i smile a little as i look at my brother, seeing him return it as he wraps his arms around my shoulders.

'god you've grown.' i hear him murmur as we pull away, making me chuckle.

'id say the same about you but..' i trail off, making him laugh which makes me see how bloodshot his eyes are. i look over at oakley who has a disappointed look on his face before turning back to mason.

'aight, go to bed mate. you'll talk tomorrow.' oakley says, putting his hand on mason's shoulder as he nods, walking off without saying another word as the door shuts behind him.

i look up at oakley. 'im sorry you had to see that.' he speaks, shaking his head a little as he looks down at me.

'dont worry, ive seen him worse.' i murmur. 'only disappointed he hasn't gotten better.' i feel him wrap his arms around my waist as i wrap mine around his shoulders, sighing.

'you okay?' he murmurs as i nod, feeling him pick me up and carry me to his room.
