I Could Never Forget Us

Chapter 5

--- Addy's POV ---

'Make sure you call me when you get to Baltimore' Lucas told me

'I will I promise' I smiled

'I'll miss you' he pouted

'It's only a week' I hugged him tightly

The final call for my flight rang through the airport and I gave Lucas one last kiss before walking through the barrier. Before I turned the corner I waved back at him and then I had to run so as not to miss my flight. I ended up sitting by the window in the plane which was good because I wouldn't feel obliged to socialise with anyone and I could just watch out of the window. I sent Jack a text to say I was on the plane and then switched my phone off so the air hostess wouldn't get stressy with me. Planes had never been my preferred form of transport and the four hour flight wasn't something I was looking forwards to so I'd stayed up all night so I'd be tired enough to sleep. Luckily my no sleep plan worked and before I knew it I was being shaken awake by the man sitting beside me. I smiled groggily at him and got up to leave the plane stretching my arms and legs as I went.

Once I'd collected my two suitcases from the luggage carousel I set off in search of Jack who said he'd collect me from the aiport. I scanned the crowds of people looking for him but I couldn't see him, suddenly I was being lifted off me feet and spun round as I was hugged for all I was worth. Assuming it was Jack and not some weirdo I laughed and hugged him back.

'It's you' he shouted as set me back down on the ground

'It's me' I laughed

'I've missed you so much Addy you have no idea' he hugged me again

'I've missed you more' I grinned

'Oh I highly doubt it' he argued

'Jack I've missed you' I repeated as tears filled my eyes

'Don't cry you shouldn't be sad' concern filled his eyes

'I'm crying because I'm happy you fucking idiot' I wiped the tears from my cheeks

'Girls are so weird' he kissed me cheek 'But I love you'

'Love you too' I replied

'Now if you've finished being emotional I think we should leave the airport' he chuckled

'Yeah let's go' I nodded

'Here I'll carry that' he took one of my large suitcases off me then took my hand and led me outside

He took me to a black van that was parked in a way that was probably illegal it wasn't even straight and straddled two spaces. 

'Jack your parking is shit' I commented

'I was in a hurry' he glared at me

'Whatever' I rolled my eyes

He put my luggage in the back of the van and then opened the passenger door for me to get in. When he stuck the keys in the ignition I stopped him.

'Wait Jack you haven't been drinking have you?' I asked him

'No I'm not stupid' he  started the car

'I can never be too sure' I said

'Do you like the van?' he turned to grin at me

'Eyes on the road' I hit his arm lightly 'And yeah it's cool'

'It's the van we used to tour in remember?' he bounced about in his seat

'What?' my jaw dropped 'No way is this thing still running'
