"Louis! Hurry up, we were supposed to be leaving right now!" Abby yells to me from outside the bathroom door. I take one last look in the mirror and open the door. "Ready?" she asks me, practically jumping in excitement. I nod my head, taking her hand as we walk down the stairs together. Niall and Harry are waiting downstairs for us. "Let's go! Liam and Marcel are already there!" they say, and we all run out to the car.

"Liam!" Abby runs up to him and hugs him. "I'm so excited Liam, oh my gosh! When do we board?!" she asks him. "In 20 minutes the plane should be boarding." He tells her, and she comes back over to me and takes my hand again. "Louis will we sit by each other?" she asks me. "Uh, not sure. Harry took the passes back." We go over to Harry and get the passes.

It turns out we're all sitting in different seats- not one of us is by the other. When Harry tells us that, Abby's grip tightens on my hand. "Hey, don't freak out. It's gonna be okay." She takes a couple deep breaths then finally faces me. "Louis, I don't want to sit by myself." She says, and it looks like she's having a panic attack. "Ab, I promise. Nothing's gonna happen. You're gonna be okay. Don't worry about the person sitting next to you. Just put in some headphones." I tell her, trying my hardest to calm her down. She nods her head, and it looks like it's working. "I think I will be okay." she says, then squeezes my hand one more time to reassure me.

"As soon as you have found your seat, please sit down and stay out of the aisle. Other passengers need to get through. Thank you." The flight attendant announces. Ever since we got on she's been giving Niall and Harry dirty looks. Guess she's a homophobe. Abby's seat is by a window, but it's in the front of the plane. Mine is all the way in the back.

The two seats next to me are empty. I've been sitting here for like 20 minutes, and nobody has sat down. So I'm going to assume that no one is sitting there. Which is a relief, because I don't feel like being that close to a stranger or two. I pull out my phone to put it on airplane mode and see that my texts are blown up. It's Abby. And that fact makes me chuckle. She's sent me like 100 messages about the fat dude next to her. I reply "Put your phone in airplane mode!" and don't hear from her again.

The flight is almost over. Only two more hours. I guess I didn't realise how long this was going to be, but it's going to be worth it. There's this fat guy sitting in the middle seat between me and this other guy that looks like he died 20 years ago. But he doesn't talk, and the fat guy has been snoring rather loudly the ENTIRE time.

I've tried to sleep, but it's nearly impossible. I just can't wait to get there!! I've slept maybe an hour or two (out of 10 so far) and I'm still tired. We had to get up super early, and I've barely said 50 words to Louis. I wonder who he's sitting by. I turn around and sit tall, stretching my neck, and see Louis doing the same thing from the way back. Except- there's nobody by him! Lucky ass. I send him a sneer and put my headphones in. Ed Sheeran, I believe.

"We are making our descent into Capital Region International Airport. Please enjoy your stay and join us again!" The flight attendant says as we land.

It takes a fucking hour, but once I make it off the plane, Abby runs up to me. The smile on her face alone is enough to brighten my mood. We make it out of the airport and into the parking garage. "Elyse said to wait by Lot 3.. Her car- let me pull up the text." Liam looks nervous, and his hands are shaking violently as he pulls up the text from Elyse. Abby sees it too, and just shrieks. "Liam! IS SHE YOUR LOVER?!" she screams. Her choice of wording makes me burst out laughing. Lover? Only Abby.

Of course Liam pushes her away with a simple "She's just my friend." and Abby of course has to retaliate. "Well maybe you need a lover- hanging around at home.. I was starting to think you were gay." Abby says, making us all snicker. Liam just sighs. "You know what? That's her car. Let's go." He runs up to the black Chrysler minivan and Elyse (I'm assuming) jumps out and hugs him. When they're done with their little thing, she comes over and greets us. "Hi!! I'm Liam's friend, Elyse, and it's fucking awesome to meet you!" She looks different up close. Black clothes, black combat boots, black makeup, blonde hair though.. She's pretty.

Abby just plain out hugs her. "Thank you so much for letting us stay! This is so amazing!" Elyse just smiles and hugs her back. "So, let's hit up a McDonald's, yeah?" she asks, using a posh British accent. We all agree and into the van with her at the wheel. Liam sits up front with Elyse, Abby and I in the middle two seats, and Harry between Niall and Marcel are squished in the backseat. "Don't worry- it's only like a 3 hour ride." Elyse says. I can see the joking smirk in the rear-view mirror as she says it, but nobody else notices. She laughs when Niall, Harry and Marcel groan rather loudly from the back. "I'm kidding! It's only about 40-45 minutes, but we are not going all that way without FOOD!" she says. Niall agrees and starts jumping all around in his seat.

"Alright, we are here." Liam announces. He's been making small conversation with Elyse, and it is so obvious they like each other. We climb out of the car- "Are you fucking kidding me?!" Louis yells as a very loud clap of thunder scares the shit out of him. We run inside to avoid getting soaking wet from the rain. I smile when we walk in. This trip is gonna be so great.
