We were on the plane now.

April was really scared when we first boarded.

She's always been scared of flying.

I remember when we went to Spain for her 16th birthday. She was terrified of flying, she gripped my hand the whole way through the flight and wouldn't let go, she didn't even let go when we landed. She stuck to me for a little while and then cuddled with me in the hotel. I held her so close to me that night. We cuddled with each other on the bed, she told me that she loved me and that she would never leave me, so I held her closer to me and gripped her body tighter and told her that I would never let go of her.

I missed that.

Just holding her and doing nothing else.

That night I realised just how much I loved her and just how much I needed her. But then about a three months after that we got into the car week. We had only been with each other for a two years and three months but to us it was like a lifetime.

We had been on the plane for a couple of hours right now and she was asleep. She looked so calm, her chest rising up and down slowly. I held her hand, it just felt right.

I knew I should have held myself back, I mean if she wakes up she'll be a bit weirded out.

To her we're strangers. To her we've never met before. I'm just a random guy that agreed to look after her and is taking her away from her friends and family. I knew she was scared, maybe even scared of me. Even in her sleep she still seemed abit on edge. She was very apprehensive around me I've noticed already. In the taxi, we didn't really speak, she just looked out the window and played with her fingers,( a habit she has when she's scared or nervous). Getting on the plane she just followed behind me, every time I tried eye contact she quickly looked at the floor and on the plane she looked out of the window until she slowly fell asleep.

I felt someone gently shake my body and I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Mr Hemmings smiling at me, "sorry to wake you but we're here" he said quietly and I nodded. He stod up and I got up to. He led me of the plane and we waited at the airport for my luggage. Once my suitcase came out he carried it out and led me outside.

He summoned a taxi again and put my suitcase in the boot and I got in the back. He got in the back as well and told the driver I'm guessing his address. The driver turned the radio on and started driving.

It was quite dark, it was about seven o'clock in the evening. I must of slept through the whole day, by now Niall's probably wondering where I am, or maybe they've told him by now? Maybe hes rung me and wondering why I haven't replyed? Mr Hemmings had rolled down the window a little bit so the cold breeze was blowing in my face and cooking me down a little. I was so nervous, well I guess I should be though. Living with a stranger. In a new country.

But somehow, it feels all to familiar.

This place, it feels like home and Mr Hemmings, I don't know, I just feel comfortable with him. Like I've seen him somewhere before or rather even talked to him. But its stupid, I've never been to Australia before, I don't think so anyway. And, I there's an unlikely chance that I've even seen Mr Hemmings before.

I tried to calm my nerves by tapping my foot to the music but that just showed off that my leg was shaking because I was so scared. Suddenly, I tensed up a bit as I heard a song come on the radio. It was an old olly murs song, normally I love olly murs but this song. I don't know, it just made me feel different, scared almost. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and let out an uncomfortable cough.
