Here's more tateandrandoms

Luckily Gracie had booked first class, so the flight wouldn't be too bad at least. But you couldn't help the anxiety you were still feeling in your stomach. It wasn't going away.

You had found Tate and Charlton sat next to each other on the seats opposite your row. You waved to them, Tate waved back, but Charlton seemed to hesitate when he saw the brunette beside you.

"Hey" you said, trying to reassure him that things were okay.

"Hey y/n" he said, keeping his eyes on Gracie.

Tate smiled, noticing Gracie's hand in yours.

"You guys are so cute together" the girl said.

The brunette squeezed your hand.

"Thanks Tate" you smiled before taking your seats. Gracie took the window seat again, and you took the aisle.

The flight took off shortly after. You wanted to talk to Liv but she and Conan's seats were further down.

"I'm still really anxious" you admitted, turning to face the brunette next to you.

Gracie looked at you before lifting up the arm rest.

"Is anything making it worse?" the brunette asked, taking out some gum to chew.

You shrugged.

"I don't think so. I'm fine with planes."

The girl hummed, pulling you into her chest.

"It's okay I'm here"

You squeezed her hand and snuggled into her, feeling safe. You and Gracie had been through a lot, but one thing never changed.

She made you feel safe.

You must have fallen asleep on her chest, because when you woke Gracie was watching a movie on her MacBook.

When she noticed you she paused the movie.

"Sleep well?" She smiled, brushing a hair strand behind your ear.

"Yeah... I didn't even notice I had. How long was I out?"

"Around an hour, not too long" she answered, her eyes gazing at you softly.

One thing Gracie always did was stare very intently at you. She only ever looked at you like that. No one else. And even when she was mad, she still had that same look in her eyes. Adoration.

"Damn, I thought I slept through the flight" you mumbled, sitting up from her chest to grab your water bottle.

"Nope babe sorry, we still have like 8 hours to go" she laughed.

You scanned your surroundings, seeing Tate and Charlton asleep on each other. It was honestly really cute.

"Hey I'm just going to use the restroom. I'll be right back" you told the brunette, who nodded and unpaused her movie.

As you made your way to the restroom, you tripped over someone's foot and went flying into their seat.

"What the fuck-" you cursed.

"Shit I'm sorry-" you heard a voice say. It sounded familiar.

You gulped as you slowly looked at the person.

The girl was brunette, brown eyes. Wait what? Oh shit, was this-

"Lizzy?" You asked.

Lizzy McAlpine, aka the girl from the party last year.

"Oh shit, y/n? I thought I'd never see you again" the girl said nervously.

"Yeah pretty crazy, uh why are you on this plane?" You asked. Before realising what a stupid question that was.

"I'm going to see my friend who's in Spain, and you?" She asked, not taking any offence.

"I'm going to Spain with my friends for summer vocation" you mumbled. Feeling horrible that you had referred to Gracie as your friend.

"Oh cool" the brunette said.

You felt kind of uncomfortable now so decided to excuse yourself.

"I need to use the restroom, it was nice talking" you said awkwardly, before walking towards the small lavatory.

"Okay y/n, what the fuck was that" you said sternly into the mirror.

You splashed your face with some water before exiting the restroom. You smiled at Lizzy as you made your way past her, but did not stop to chat again.

After you reached your seat, you sat down sweating. Unfortunately, Gracie had noticed your restlessness and paused her movie.

"Everything okay?" She asked, genuinely concerned.

"Yeah. Yeah all good" you said before putting your headphones on.

This was going to be a long ass plane ride.
