After

Mums list

1 year later

"LIKE THE CEILING CAN'T HOLD US , LI-" my phone rings, I bounce over to my bed and flop down of the soft bed sheets "yello" I answer " Get Your ASS DOWN HERE"- its lighla , already downstairs waiting for me, I hang up and sprint down the stairs to greet her, I run and jump and hug her. " Dan would you be a darl and get Casey's luggage?" Lighla purrs towards my twin brother, at the sound of her voice he sprints up from the couch on her command, "you guys make me sick" I state as I push past her to get an apple " oh go cry me a river" she sings. Dan and lighla aren't dating , just kinda constantly flirting...

After I broke up with jay-Cee , he begged me back, blah blah blah - HAHA LOL JKS ! As if , he went on and hung out with groupies who show mor flesh then Adam and Eve combined. Not that I really cared , deep down I knew we didn't have anything.

I have been packing for the last couple of weeks, and am finished. I have also successfully raised enough money to last me whilst I'm away. Lighla and I have decided that we wanted to move to New York, me to go to the design school, her go and work on broadway, it has been my dream since I was 13 years old. " OKAY !!! WE ARE READY !!!!!" Lighla shouts to no one in particular, instead of mum telling me what not to do , she wrote a list- kilometer long- it contains all types of things , don't get me started. Mum left early in the morning , not able to deal with me leaving , and I'm okay with that, really!

We piled our stuff into the taxi and we were off to the airport, lighla and I didn't speak, before we left Dan gave her a piece of paper that she can only read once we arrive.

Today I decided to wear long trackies with ugg boots and a hoodie- perfectly comfortable, believe me. Lighla is wearing orange shorts with a cream singlet and uggs.

(2 hours later)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ARNT SITTING TOGETHER" lighla sreams at the scared looking attendant, " listen don't worry bout it, we will figure it out- wont we lighla" I say softly, but speak though clenched teeth to lighla , "whatever" she says and walks to her seat. In the seat next to lighla sits a girl , just older by the looks of it , I know lighla will be ok because the girl smiles brightly at her.

I start walking towards my seat at the back of the plane and when I reach it I see a boy sitting in the seat next to me looking out the window. I put my Carry on on top in the little cabinet and shut it , only taking my phone and earphones out. I sit down in my ugly green- but oh so comfortable- seat next to the boy. I place one ear piece in one ear so I can still here what's going on. Ten minutes later lighla comes down to me seat and crouches beside me " the girl next to me is soooooo nice !! Her name is Olivia and she is living in New York to !! But doesn't have a place to stay !! Oh my god you would love her" lighla squeals rushing her sentences. At that very moment "he" turns around, lighla stares and says a quick goodbye and goes and talks to her new friend... Olivia ?

"He" is gorgeous, just my luck eh ?

He has blonde hair, chocolate brown eyes that stare into mine, he has defined cheekbones, and tanned skin, he has a lip ring and eye brow ring, he's also wearing a hoodie and trackies with vans though. I catch him looking me up and down, he somehow doesn't seem as impressed " hi.. I'm, uh Casey" I say as I stretch out my hand, he looks at my hand then my face, this goes on for a while, " I'm Eli" he says then turns away. I take this as a sign NOT to talk to him .

(Half an hour later)

The plane jerks to a start and I start to panic , this is my first time- I don't really know what to do , it starts making unhealthy noises- that's when i jump , almost landing in his lap, quivering I stare up into his eyes and he looks down at me expressionless, "I'm sorry I just... I can't-" I try but fail to speak, "it's ok" he says as he leans against my chair, so it's more comfortable for me..... Maybe this won't be so bad after all....

I wake up to the sound of soft snoring next to me, I look up and see Eli'a head gently placed ontop of mine, I watch him softly sleep , so piece fully, yet not for long because a loud bang wakes him, and he jumps and stares into my eyes, " I have idea to get to know Each other... Because I won't be able to deal without talking " I softly smile at him

"umm ok" he replies - his voice Is softer in the morning, "21 questions?" I ask and he nods

Once I'm done my business I user back to my seat , I'm greeted by a girl

Sitting there as she flirts with Eli " so" she purrs," are you single", I can't believe people are that desperate " no. My girlfriend went to the bathroom." He answer through clenched teeth , wait whaATT ?? " oh there she is" he point directly at me, the girl move so I can sit down again, she storms off?" this is a plane, not a hook up bar - PULL YOUR SHORTS DOWN" I shout after her and start laughing , I turn to look at Eli , I nudge him in the ribs " sooooo , boyfriend" I say slowly, all he replies with is " can you leave me alone now ? You've asked your questions just shut up", I turn and face the screen, and click the perks of being a wall flower, because I swear in that moment we were infinite.
