flight 'home'

summer, 2018

Arabellas pov:    (i just realised i put teddy, sorry it's just confusing writing a couple books at a time 😭)

im on the flight back 'home' to LA, sat between a old lady and, i think, her daughter?

i yawn tiredly, having been on the plane for 9 hours, 2 hours to go.

i continue reading IT, for the 100th time.

the old lady turns to me and says "arent you awfully young to be travelling alone?"

i smile politely, having expected the question. i mean you dont see a 15 year old travelling alone.

"im 19 ma'am, im coming home from my first year of college."

she smiles "ah i see, what have you majored in?"

"uh history and english ma'am"

she shakes her head "cut the ma'am, makes me feel old, my name is Marie, and thats my daughter, emma."

the old lady, or now Marie points at the person, emma, whos on the aisle. she nods at me, not bothering to take her airpods out.

i smile politely at her then go back to reading my book.

Marie smiles at me "are your parents happy your coming back? i know when i sent my daughter to college i was anxious for her nearly everyday.

i smile politely ''there thrilled, yeah, really excited."

she smiles at me, then goes back to looking out the window, which is breaking into morning.

taking that as a signal to the end of the conversation, i continue reading my book.

time skip: 2 hours later, la.

i walk out of the airport to be met with robby with a...man? he had dark hair, but a kind face, so i decided i liked him.

i walk over confused "robby? what are you doing here?"

he smiles slightly at me "hey belle, oh this is Mr Larusso, he offered to drive me here and take you home."

i smile politely at him "thank you sir"

he smiles "no problem, you want some help with your bag?"

i smile "nah ive got it"

i place it in the back and hop in with it. robby and mr larusso hop in the front

he nods at me "so your robbys sister, huh?"

i nod "yep, havent seen him in 8 years though"

he smiles sadly "im sorry to hear that"

i shrug "it wasnt that bad, time flies by"

he nods "so your, uh, johnnys kid?"

i nod "kinda, didnt really meet him"

he nods and continues his drive

and i look out the window, admiring the view of la and how different it is to south korea, i think, maybe it isnt that bad and i will enjoy myself here

oh how fucking wrong i was
