Madi whispers how I'm doing while nudging my side. Madi sat in the middle of the row whilst I sat left of her and Andy was on the right.

"Yeah, why?" I say softly and turn my head to look out the window to admire the scenery. All kinds of unique buildings seemed to be a blur because of how fast we were going.

I know that if I turn around to face her, I might just lose it. I mean, my regret levels immediately went sky-high. All of those two years of knowing Alexandra and I couldn't treat her with an ounce of respect until recently. Absolutely ridiculous, Calum.

Oh, great. I'm starting to talk to myself in third person. I'm going crazy.

All I can hear is my subconscious calling me an idiot like always, but then Madi's voice cuts through it like a katana.

"Oh I dunno, you've been glaring at those two since we got in the car." She mentions sarcastically and I looked back at her. She tilts her head to the side as a gesture towards them. Of course Madi noticed.

I couldn't help but look at Luke and Alex and wish that was me besides her. His arm is basically around her while holding her close. Alex had her head against his chest in deep sleep. It's difficult to not look at them. I want to be the one doing that. Instead, she's the one who is afraid of me. Of all people, it had to be me that she has forgotten.

I guess that I was not of importance to her.

"How could you not?" I frown before slumping in the seat and fiddling with my grey sweats. We were talking quietly so that no one could hear. Everyone was half asleep but I didn't feel comfortable talking about this out loud. Especially when Luke is around.

Madi pokes my cheek which causes me to shoo her away in annoyance. "We'll find a way to get through this." She assures to me with a smile and manages to lay her head on my shoulder due to the tight space in the vehicle.

"I sure hope so." I mutter and lean my head on her head in return. This girl is always optimistic towards me and I practically owe her my everything. She sees the good in me, as she calls it, and does not fail to believe in me. Madison never falters in educating me that there is always a bright side to situations.

I know Madi was talking about Alex forgetting me and I still have a hard time believing that. Even though Madi's efforts are neverending, there is no way Alex cannot remember anything that we have went through together. I was by her side the whole time while she fought for her life.

How could she just forget me that easily?

I even saved her life from that bus! All Luke had to do was walk in and sit next to her for a few days. She then wakes up and suddenly becomes attached to Luke.

I clenched my fists when thinking about Luke. He still angers me and I don't think that will ever go away.

Madi touches my hand in efforts of trying to relax me. "You should try and get some rest." I gaze into her green eyes as they sparkle with reassurance. This girl is something, I tell you. My hand unravels in response and she gives it a squeeze with a small smile to top it off like a cherry.

The car halts to a stop at the front of the airport where crowds of fans and the paparazzi were huddled at the entrance. I assume the paps have nothing to do with their lives. While sitting up correctly to get ready to rush inside, I have a feeling that we won't be able to meet the fans. The size of the crowd is too dangerous for us to meet every person individually.

Madi turns around to wake up Mikey behind her before I notice Luke wake up Alex and she rubs her eyes open. I have to squeeze my eyes shut for a moment to get rid of the thoughts of her forgetting me. Instead, I focus on getting out of the car and going inside the airport. One step at a time, Calum.
