~~JOUELS POV~~

"Ladies and Gentleman we ask that you please fasten your seatbelts as we land in Johannesburg." the flight attendant spoke. I buckled my seatbelt and turned off my ipad and phone and layed back. I was sitting between Michael and Ryan and I grabbed there hands and sqeezed them.

"Squeeze any tighter and I think you might crush my hand Joules." Ryan smirked.

"Sorry. I hate landing. Ever since final destination. I don't really trust anything." I said seriously.

"Joules you fly so much how are you still scared of landing?"

"I don't know. it's just one of those things I don't like. Spiders I can do. Snakes I can do. Landing no bueno." At that point both he and Michael were laughing at me. "Good to know you get a good laugh out of my fear."

"Aww Joules. We're not laughing at it. We think it's cute, don't we Ryan?" Michael looked at him.

"Hey man, speak for yourself." he smirked again.

"Well Joules. I think it's cute."

"Thanks Mikey." I pinched his cheek.

"Bow chica wow wow." Ryan mumbled under his breathe.

"Hush you" I glared.

"Whatever are you talking about." he gave me a smug smile.

I just punched him point blank.

"Ow. SCHMITTY JOULES IS BULLYING ME." he yelled over the seat.

"Stop harassing her and Michael." she said simply.

"But it's too easy."

"Ryan, you need friends."

"Well that's not very nice Schmitty. And besides I have Nate and Matt." he looked to Nate and Matt sitting next to Schmitty.

"We're with Al on this one." Matt smiled at him.

"You people are ridiculous." He sighed.

The plane landed and we made our way through the airport picking up our bags and going outside to the van that was waiting.

"Alright so we have a layover here until tomorro morning. So we have the rest of the day to take in all that Jo-burg has to offer." Michael took a deep breathe breathing in the South African air.

"I want to see Soccer City soooo bad." I whined.

"Sometimes I seriously wonder if you were a soccer player in a past life." Michael gave me an odd look.

"Dad thinks I was. Mom did too." I smiled. The mood in the van got really weird once I brought up my Mom. "Guys chill. It doesn't need to get weird when I bring up my Mom. I actually really think I'm getting way better. Going home really helped."

"That's great Joules! I'm proud of you." Al gave me a side hug. It was nice to not be the only girl on this trip, especially since it was Schmitty.

"Yeah, That really is" Ryan hugged me from the other side.

"Aww you guys are the cutest. I love you all."

"And we love you too." Matt put his hand on my shoulder.

"Now that this love fest is over, I say we go check in and then go see Soccer City and then we can go get some food and get some good sleep." Nate clapped his hands.

"Good thinking hot shot." I turned and winked at him.

"Ever since Tom left you've been this little flirtacious kiddy. I like it." Ryan laughed.
