The after party / Callum turner/*

Chapter 8

It's been a few days since I have seen callum. And I can't stop thinking about him. About our kiss and how his lips were soft like a pillow. He made him feel warm and happy. My mood has been improved by 100 percent every time I am around him. Currently I am at the airport with dua flying to Chicago. Dua has never been to the city so I am going to take her my apartment downtown and I am going to visit my parents with her. " so how is the city like?" Dua asked. "It is just New York City?" I look at her in disbelief. "Yeah if New York had a lake, cold winters, high taxes, and a sucky public schools." Dua looks at me "okay.. anyway tell me about your boyfriend." My eyes basically popped out of my head. " what boyfriend?". Dua laughs " umm callum, you literally would stop texting him. "Well things are going great with each other actually. He kissed me a couple nights ago." I smile from my book. Dua gasps. " no fuckin way you kissed! Was it good, is he a good kisser?" She said " yes we kissed and actually he is a very very very good kisser." I smile I haven't been crazy about a boy in like 8 months ever since Jacob cheated on me, I have been very private about my feelings and I was gone for 6 months. I didn't go to parties or to movie premieres. I was incognito for a while. But ever since dua has came back from her tour she has made me feel more free. I love her for that.

We started to board the plane and dua and I were the first ones to board. I booked two seat in first class the flight to Chicago from L.A.X is almost 5 hours long. We get to our seat and we put our bags away and our suitcase on the top of the plane. It's currently 11:42 pm we are supposed be landing in Chicago at 6:34 am. Because of the time difference. I turn towards dua which already has her headphones on and sleeping mask on with her blanket on. She is sleeping, and we have already have been on the plane for 10 minutes and she is already asleep. I laugh and take a picture of her.

For me flying is one of the most Scariest thing I do. When I was young when I would travel with my family , my mom and I would always be scared of turbulence. Thinking that we would crash and die somewhere. One of things that actually help was looking at a different perspective. I watched a lot of historical movies and tv shows. And I feel way safer that I am in a plane with almost 300 passengers and experienced probably retired pilots from the Air Force that is flying the plane, then a young kid in his 20s getting shot at war. I have been watching masters in the air that callum is in and it's actually so good. I recommend to my dad because we both love watching ww2 movies or shows together. I put the show on, and put it on my iPad. I clean my seat and tray table with a disaffected wipe, and take a short term sleeping pill that my doctor prescribed me when I fly because my anxiety on planes are actually so bad that it's hard on my body and lungs. I take of my makeup and put on my headphone opening Spotify to play my favorite artist Piero Piccioni and start playing " Amore mío aiutami".i get comfortable because i will be here for a while. After 15 minutes i was knocked out alseep.

I get woken up by dua shaking my arm. " Ally wake up baby, we are here". We are here at o'Hare airport. I look at my phone looking at the time 6:24. Hey 10 minutes early that great. I basically jump out of my sit. I am so excited to be back home for the week. We get our bags and get off the plane. Thank god we were the first ones to get off the planes because we would be there for other 30 minutes if we did. We get out and we head down to the airport pick up line. We have to go down to the rainbow lights which is my favorite part of o'Hare. Dua looks amazed by the different colors and lights. We get to the drivers line where my friends to pick me up. Christina has been a dear friend to me for a while. We actually met in college we were on the same dance team together and she moved to Chicago to become an eye doctor. She is in medical practice right now but she has no plane on the weekends so she and dua and I will spend the day together. Dua and her actually have met several times. So it's not going to be awkward with them. As I looked up from my phone I see Christina's car in the far back. Waiting from her to come I walk to a open spot so that she can park easily. I see her and wave her down.
