Tragic Magic

Chapter Nineteen

"Babe, it's time to get up," I shake Craig's shoulder. We passed out in the commons area after hours of conversation. We each only got thirty minutes of sleep, but there will be time to sleep on the plane.

"Fuck, already?" he pulls himself off the floor.

"Yes," I laugh. "I already got everything into the car, so when you're ready we can go."

"Darling, you didn't have to do that by yourself. Wake me up next time, okay?"

It was 2:00 by the time we started to get things done. By 2:30 we were packed up and ready to go to the airport to meet the other guys. We both went around the house making sure everything was turned off and locked up. I say my quick goodbyes to Vivian and leave her some food.

"Ready?" We meet up in the foyer after checking everything.

"Yes, lets get going," I take his hand and we walk out.

The ride to the airport was pretty silent. I could tell he was extremely tired and I wasn't feeling too good myself. When we arrived at the airport, our luggage was taken for us so all we had to do was find the right gate. The airport was big and confusing, so I didn't let go of Craig's hand the entire time.

"Is that them?" I see a group of people waiting at the food court.

"I can see Brian's hair from a mile away," Craig laughs.

They're all standing with gorgeous women, so I feel a little awkward. Max is with a beautiful ginger woman and Robert is with a dark haired woman. They both look like supermodels, which doesn't surprise me.

"Hey, Juliet, this is Allison and Victoria," Robert gestures to the two.

"Oh my god, you are so pretty!" The ginger, Allison, runs up and hugs me.

"Thank you! Same to you too!" I have a feeling I'm going to like them.

Victoria joins in on the hug, "We've heard so much about you! You're so much prettier in person!"

"I'd hate to break up your reunion, but we've gotta go if we want to beat the other band onto the plane," Max interrupts.

I cling to Craig as we walk to the gate. I've never liked planes, but I feel like this flight is going to be fun. We check our tickets and passports at the gate, then board the plane. Thankfully, we were the first ones on the plane, so we chose to sit in the back.

I sat in between Craig and Bryan and the rest of the guys sat around us. Victoria and Allison sat in their own row.

"Why don't you join us, Juliet?" Allison calls out to me.

"I'm actually terrified of planes, so I want to be close to Craig," I cling to Craig's arm.

"Oh, that's fine. We'll have time to talk when we get there after all," Victoria gives me a warm smile.

"Uh, I'm scared of flights too," Max winks at Allison.

"You're fine!" She snaps back.

As we waited for the other band, we spent our time talking and laughing. I think I'm really going to enjoy spending my month with these people. Our laughter is broken into dead silence as the other band boards the plane.

"Oh, shit," Robert takes off his sunglasses.

My heart drops into my stomach as I see Ronnie walk onto the plane.
