Arabella - Toxicity

7. Flight

~•~

We arrived at the airport at around 7am. I hadn't made the biggest effort of making myself look presentable; I had one of Alex's graphic tees on, some leggings and some mascara. I didn't actually care all that much since the guys had a private plane, which was fucking insane.

Me and Alex had arrived at the airport a little later than the others cause he couldn't find his cologne, so everyone was waiting for us. Just to make it more awkward I had to go to the toilet.

"Hey, can you watch my things while I go to the bathroom?" I asked Kelly a little after we arrived. She agreed, and I handed her my pink suitcase.

I practically ran to the nasty airport toilet so we could leave as soon as possible. When I got into the bathroom there was a baby crying while her mom breastfed her, and the bathroom smelled like shit, but surprisingly not all that dirty.

While walking back I saw some girls who were starring at me, which somehow made me feel self conscious. I lowered my head a little and sighed. One of Alex's fans had seen me and Alex eating out, they took a picture and posted it with the caption: Alex's new girlfriend. I don't know why but ever since then I've gotten dirty looks from people, and I wasn't even Alex's girlfriend. We're only friends, and we'll never be anything more. The girls were probably just jealous that Alex was friends with girls, and none of his friends were them. Honestly I didn't quite get the 'being jealous on celebrities girlfriends' thing, like, leave the poor girl alone.

When I got back to the others Alex was standing with his back facing me, so he didn't see me.

"No, I'm only taking her with me for a quick shag then never talking to her again. The only reason I was sweet to her was so I could get the shag, without making Nick mad" Alex said confidently. I let out an audible gasp, and he turned to look at me with shock in his eyes. We stood there for a good second just starring at each other, before I said anything. "What the fuck?" This guy should be happy Nick wasn't here or he'd eat a fist. How could ever trust this guy? Call him my friend? He's just a big fucking jerk.

"Arabella, I didn't-" Alex began explaining, but stopped himself. He was holding an apology back, probably cause he didn't mean it. "What, Alexander, what?" I said while crossing my arms. I was so fucking done with this guy, first he likes me, then hates me, then likes me, and now he apparently doesn't care about me?

"I didn't mean it, I promise" He said. Liar. If he didn't mean it he wouldn't have said it.

"I don't believe you" I said coldly even though I was dying on the inside. I was just so fucking angry at him for playing with my feelings, like I meant nothing. His weirdly perfect brows furrowed, he looked confused.

"Love, please-" This time I was the one cutting him off. "Don't call me that. The only reason I'm going is cause Nick was excited that I was going to see where he was maybe moving in. Not because of you!" I spoke loudly, but not loud enough that people would look. I was used to his weird shit, but he had never ever said anything like that. I didn't even look at him, I couldn't. He had just described me as a simple object, there was no way I was gonna talk nicely to that boy ever again.

I sat down on a stool, and waited for Nick to come back. The tension between us all was almost unbearable before Breanna said something. I didn't pay any attention so I didn't hear what she said, but it made people laugh.

Finally Nick came back and we all began heading to the plane, laughing as if the whole situation between me and Alex didn't just happen.

"Hey, Matthew" I say as I caught up to him. I should probably call him Matt since everyone else did, but I didn't care all that much.
