Invisible // l.h

Chapter 24

I'm racing through the Melbourne airport with my suitcase that has been roughly packed and my purse which keeps falling off my shoulder. I race to a desk and book the next flight to Sydney which happens to take off in less than 15 minutes. Once my suitcase has been taken care of, I rush down to the gate that I'm meant to be at. Surprisingly I find that it's the same gate that I went in last time I was flying up, and I can't help but think of how I met Luke and all of the boys. I don't even need to sit and wait to be called through as the door has already opened, so I just head straight down and into the plane. The only seat they had left was an aisle seat in the back row of the plane. I'm just praying I don't get stuck next to some weirdo.

I decided to take this trip because even though I'd only been home for about two days I couldn't handle it. Mum was working and busy and the news about dad was something I needed to talk to someone about. Tori was my best friend and I needed to confide her in this new information.

When I take my seat, I sit down next to a girl. She looked around my age and she looked of an Asian race and had really pretty purple hair pulled up into a bun. Her skin is a caramel colour, and she has cheekbones that remind me of Tori's, they looked like they've been carved by a knife. Her lips are full and a light pink colour and she has big brown hazel eyes, with long thick lashes.

I take my seat down next to her and she looks over at me and smiles.

"Hi my name is Justine. What's yours?" Her voice rings out in a melodic way. I can tell that I kind of like her already.

"Oh hey, my names Ivy." I say smiling back at her. I feel like her smile may be contagious.

"I really like your shirt. All Time Low is my favourite band." She says looking down at my grey shirt that has ATL's logo on it.

"Oh yeah I love All Time Low. I just love bands in general really." I reply.

We continue our conversation talking about our favourite bands, songs, and all that kind of stuff. I discovered that Justine was originally from Melbourne and had been visiting her mother and father, but she is currently living in L.A. She's also going to Sydney to visit a friend whom she'd met in L.A. She's just turned 18 and is doing her first year of university, although she's currently on a break.

The rest of the plane ride was quite enjoyable talking with Justine, and she had certainly calmed by nerves of telling Tori everything. Just before the plane ride ended I made sure to grab Justine's number.

Once I left the plane I texted Tori, informing her that I had landed. About 10 minutes later she called me saying she was here. I finally found her through the crowds of the airport. I was itching to tell her my news, but I made sure to wait until we were in the car where nobody could hear us. As soon as we got in the car I told her about the phone call I had overheard. Her reaction was quite similar to how mine was. When we got home we sat down.

"So did you hear?" She asks.

"Hear what?"

"About the boys. They got back together! 5sos is back!" She squealed.

I laughed and we danced around the living room. Even though we weren't really in contact with the boys, it was still really good knowing that they had sorted out their differences and were a band again.
