TODAY WAS THE DAY OF THE FLIGHT. it was three in the morning when arabella's alarm went off and she groaned. she knew she had to get up and wake up her father though, otherwise she'd never get there.

she grabbed her phone and charger and put it into her hand baggage, where she had already put everything else that she would need in there.

she woke up her father, as silently as possible, to not wake up her step mother. the flight was at eight in the morning so she had to be there at five.

her twin brothers also came to give her a goodbye hug, not wanting to stay up too long. "te quiero, hermanos." bella told them while her arms were around the two boys' their necks. "no boys, bell. we mean it." tonio said stoically, teo nodding as well. "no boys." she agreed.

time went by fast as she grabbed the last few things. before she knew it, she was loading her suitcase into the back of her fathers matte black audi q7. "okay c'mon, world traveler." her father encouraged as she opened the passenger seat door.

niccolo let his daughter on the aux, much to arabella's enjoyment. she quickly put on 'vienna' by billy joel, her father immediately smiling at her. this was their song, it had been since she was little.

since her mother had passed, it was her and her papa against the world. they had been around, but now, they finally had a stable home and income. even though arabella had no idea why in the name of god, her dad would marry ginerva.

she had given up on asking about that as her father would always answer the same, 'i love her.' which bella didn't even believe.

they sung their song as the drive continued. about an half an hour later, they arrived at barcelona airport. she could already see linnea and diego, waiting by the kiss & ride.

her father got her suitcase out of the back as she greeted her friends. she turned back to him though, "adios papa, te quiero." she said as she hugged him.

"te quiero mucho, mi hija. now, have fun! and facetime me at least once a week?" niccolo responded, his daughter quickly nodding in agreement, "definitely."

bella's father got back into his car, "don't come home pregnant!" he shouted out of the opened window, driving off after. diego and linnea laughed, bella eventually joining them after her initial shock.

about ten minutes later, the group of kids was complete as lucinda and santiago had arrived as well. they entered the airport and went through all of the official security and check-ins.

they had to wait at the airport for another three hours, as always with international flights. after fucking up some overpriced airport food, a lot of uno games and yelling —about said uno games— later, they could finally board their plane.

the group of five was luckily at the front of the waiting line so they could move on to the plane quite quickly. the five friends joked around as they sat down in the uncomfortable plane seats.

"i always forget how fucking uncomfortable plane seats are." santi complained, "boy, shut up! you have a window seat. and just so you know, i'm going to fall asleep on your shoulder." lucy scolded, already propping up her sweater against the boys shoulder.
