The seat belt light dinged and flashed on, too late for second thoughts now. "What was that?" Georgia moaned half asleep. "We're landing Jelly bean, put your belt on." You say softly. You took that time to analyze her face, the beautiful golden glow fake tan she had got done especially. The tan contrasted widely to the porcelain rock goddess you were used to. Her baby blue eyes were only half open, due to the onslaught of light she was receiving from the plane window. "Fancy it being bright in the morning. Who even agreed to that?" Georgia grumbled sarcastically. You laughed loudly "Oh poor you" You jest, sarcasm dripping from your words whilst handing her some wide rimmed sun glasses. "Deal with it, You do know Charleston is a warm sunny place right..." You chuckle, she forced the glasses on with a humph. Brushing her long brown hair back she finally spoke. "You're far to cheery. Did you even sleep?" She commented. You shrug and look out of the window instead.
Choosing to drop the subject Georgia chose to opt for a lighter subject. "So if this is a warm place then there will have to be hot men, surely?" She said smiling brightly. You chuckled lightly "Yes, I'd Imagine so Jellybean." You say distantly looking out at the wings; you loved to watch them as they prepped for landing. "Lexi, serious. Hot guys, you promise?" She said excited like a child. "I have not been here since i was young Jel, I don't remember much." You whisper softly, lost in memories. Happy distant memories of your holidays here. "Well I sure as hell hope so, I need me some eye candy preferably a rock star but I'm not going to ask for miracles" Georgia sighed you laugh "Rock star eye candy, I'll keep my eye out" You say and you two shared a look of mischief.
The plane descended smoothly. taking a deep breath you felt the plane bounce on to the runway and hit again a second time harder this time. 'Just like my life, never smooth sailing' you muse to yourself. You all unbuckled and everyone was moving at once. You grab your bag and follow everyone out, Georgia following behind. Claiming your baggage and going through customs you caught your reflection in the window leading out of the Airport. Your hair was dirty blonde and wavy often it would go frizzy but today it seemed okay. Your pale skin made even paler from your lack of sleep making your blue eyes stand out even more. Your simple black blazer, purple vest and black jeans were ideal for the UK but here people gave you a double take. Georgia fit in well with a modified rock t shirt with Nirvana on and black short shorts the docs stood out though. You two were two sides of a coin. Georgia was thin and super model pretty which you were always jealous of, but you had more curves sadly even only being only a size larger than her you'd received endless bullying as the fat friend.
until 14 when she decided "fuck this shit" and rebelled against everything everyone had made her out to be. Becoming the rock goddess beside you that would stick with you through thick and thin. Your best friend and your sister. "Lexi you need to sort your hair out" She chuckled "Yeah well you need to sort your face....ohhhhh" You laugh at your own joke and she laughed and nudged you "Bitch." She laughed whilst you were toying with your hair and pulling your case along. "You love me." You say and smile. Everything was going to be okay...
