Opia

Chapter FOUR

"Cora, wake up", Arabella said as she shook Cora who had passed out on Michael. They had all fell asleep watching a scary movie that turned out to just be a shitty movie that had horrible sound effects and graphics.

"No", Cora mumbled as she pulled a cover over head before rolling over, almost knocking a sleeping Michael off the cramped couch. "We are going to miss our plane, if you don't get your ass up", She whispered yelled at Cora. She grabbed her leg that was sticking out the blanket as she pulled her leg. Cora quickly grabbed onto Michael's shirt as Arabella struggled to pull her off the couch. "You're going to wake him up", Arabella exclaimed as she tugged on Cora's leg. "Five more minutes" Cora mumbled. "How about if you don't get up right now I will choke slam you", Arabella shot back as she held onto Cora's leg. Cora was silent for a few moments before she sat up. Her hair sticking up everywhere. "I hate you", Cora said as she glared at Arabella. Cora was always a grumpy person in the morning and it never benefitted her when she had to wake up early.

Hadley was already up and packed ready to leave. She surprisingly woke up before any of them. Arabella could sense something was up because of last night when her and Calum stormed in without saying anything.

Cora stumbled as she walked into the bathroom to get ready as Arabella ran around the bus making sure she had everything. She always got stressed out when traveling as she felt like she had to make sure everything was in control. "You know what sucks", Cora said as she walked out the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth. "Shut up, I'm trying to think", Arabella said as she was mentally going through her mental checklist making sure she had everything. "It sucks that we have to wake up early to get on this stupid plane but, the guys don't board till this afternoon", Cora mumbled over her toothpaste. "Okay one, that's disgusting, Cora", Arabella said as she scrunched up her nose looking at Cora's toothpaste mouth. "It's called being a human", Cora said before walking back into the bathroom.

Arabella grabbed her suitcase sitting it beside Hadley's before looking up at Hadley. She was in her own world with her earphones in. Arabella felt bad for her but she didn't want to pressure her or cause them to fight. She knew she needed her space for some reason and she wanted to give her it.

"Cora, come on, the uber is here, we have to go now", Arabella said as she grabbed Cora's suitcase along with hers. Cora hopped out the bathroom on one foot as she struggled to put her other shoe on. They all walked out the bus as Cora decided to scream, "BYE", more than likely waking at least one of them up before slamming the door shut. Cora grabbed her suitcase from Arabella before running and leaping to the car, handing her suitcase to the Uber. The other girls soon followed as they all crammed in the blacked out van.

"Can you guys believe we are actually going to Australia", Cora said as starting looking up pictures of Australia. "Hadley, you can meet Calum's mom and we can go to the beaches and we can finally meet the infamous Liz and learn to surf and", Cora babbled on almost talking Arabella's head off. Hadley was too busy furiously tapping her phone with her earphones blaring music. She was pissed and Arabella could tell. She turned her attention back to Cora as she half way listened to her until they reached the airport. Fans were waiting as they heard them screaming. Cora put her face to window looking down at them. "I think they they that the guys are with us", Cora said, before laughing. Hadley took a long exaggerated breath as she looked out the window watching the fans wave and scream. She was already annoyed enough with them.

The van stopped as a buff, scary looking guy opened their door for them. They all climbed out, Cora being last. Arabella looked up at them all as a flash picture went off, blinding her for a moment. "This is insane", Cora said as she held on to the back of Hadley's shirt. They walked into the airport with the crowd following them. Hadley kept her head down the entire time, her sunglasses blocking out the flashes from the camera the paparazzi was shoving in their faces.

Arabella lead the way until they finally got through bag check prohibiting fans and paparazzi from following them. They all walked to the terminal they were to board getting a few stares from people who had watched them get mobbed. It always made the girls uncomfortable as they really had no reason to be mobbed over. They were just girls living their life that had a few advantages most people didn't have.

They quickly gave their ticket to the flight attendant and walked into the long hallway leading them into the plane. The plane was huge so they luckily got to sit with each other with a seat to spare. Hadley got put by the window, which she didn't mind. She didn't want to talk anyone and was thanking God that she had a reason to put her phone on airplane mode. She wanted to be disconnected from the world for a little while.
