brin looked around the area if anyone noticed her current situation. how does one fall asleep so quickly and heavily after five minutes? brin really needed to pee but calum looks so peaceful and she really didn't want to disrupt him. but she really needed to pee. so she sucked it up and tapped the snoozing boy on his head.

"calum," she whispered, trying not to wake her boss zoe on the other side who was a very light sleeper. brin tapped the boys head again and he groggily woke up.

"five minutes please," he said snuggling his head into brin's neck and he suddenly realized who sat next too. his head bolted up and he looked with his worried eyes into brin's shocked eyes.

"shit i am so sorry about that," calum said, wiping his face to see if there was any drool on his face. brin smiled at his attempt to look presentable.

"it's okay calum. you were always a heavy sleeper i guess," she said chuckling. brin unbuckled her seatbelt and started to get up when calum speaks up.

"where you going?"

"oh going to the zoo, going to gawk at some penguins," brin said sarcastically, rolling her eyes and laughing, and started her way to the bathroom.

calums pov

it was in the small moment when i realized i missed her. a lot. shit i did. her sarcastic jokes she made, that smile, the way she tucked her hair strand behind her right ear. i missed all of that. oh fuck yeah i did. i looked around the plane to see both ashton and luke asleep, michael watching some new anime, and the rest of our crew reading. i wonder if anyone noticed me practically drooling on brin's shoulder. shit. i ran my hands through my hair and cursed at myself for starting to fall in love with her again. after two years, i had this weird feeling in my stomach. i missed it. i missed her.

regular pov

brin came out of the restroom, finally relieved that was out of her system and came back to see calum sipping a heineken. he looked up and their eyes locked, calum smiling at her and returning to pressing the small screen that sat a couple feet away.

"do you wanna watch a movie?" he said as brin took a seat and removed her shoes, getting comfortable.

"im fine," she said smiling to be nice, waving her phone in her hand to indicate that she was perfectly fine listening to her music.

"come on, you don't wanna listen to music for another five hours right?" calum laughed and rubbed her knee, without knowing. it was a force of habit. seeing her again brought calum to his old ones. ever since he saw her again, he started blinking faster, biting the nail on his thumb, he rubbed his knees, he didn't know it but she was bringing the old calum back.

brin looked at him shocked and he didn't seem to notice he did that. she cleared her throat and sat up, staring at the screen to go through the movies.

"you still into scary movies?" calum said whispering knowing that people around him were asleep.

"yeah, of course." brin couldn't believe he still remembered what she liked.

"well good. cause i haven't seen the gallows yet so we're gonna watch that." calum said laughing, leaning back after pressing the gallows movie on the screen. the movie started to begin and calum seemed really into it, but brin was so confused. was he going to ignore the fact that they haven't talked in over 2 years and now he wants to watch a movie with her? she needed to settle this. she leaned up and pressed the pause button, getting a worried look from calum.

"what is it TOO scary?"

"what are you doing calum?" she said, turning her body towards him and looked at him with questioning eyes. he sighed, knowing that she was going to ask this eventually. "you act like we're super chill when we haven't talked in over 2 years."

"maybe i just want to put that behind us-"

"behind us?!" she whispered yelled at him. "calum, you left me heartbroken-"

"you blocked me! you ignored me in anyway possible! you even moved away brin!" he said, now facing her, their knees almost touching. calum remembered that day like it was yesterday.

calum went up to the door of brin's apartment and stood outside the door for a minute or two. what was he going to say? what was he going to do? he was about to knock on the door, ready to get slapped in the face when he heard footsteps coming up the hallway. he turned to his right, thinking it was you, but was met with a tall red head guy.

"hey man, can i help you with something?" the redhead said with a smile.

"i'm good, just gonna see my girlfriend."

"your girlfriend's 4A?" calum nodded at the boy but he just looked at him with confusion. "dude, your girlfriend moved out a day ago." and calum's heart dropped. he looked at him hurt and confused and knocked on the door.

"brin!" he yelled. the redhead stopped him from knocking on the door and he opened it, causing calum to burst into the room. he looked around the apartment and how empty it was, boxes still there and just a couple of trash but everything else was gone. her comfy white couch, her succulents, her plants, tables, everything. calum looked around the place, tears in his eyes. he looked back at the red head who stood in the door and he left, knowing calum wanted to be alone. once he left, he punched the wall beside him and yelled, his scream echoing through the empty room. he then heard a loud crash and spun around, hoping she was till here to pick up her stuff. it wasn't her. it was small photo that hung on the wall and it fell to the ground, the glass shattering. he walked over to the photo and carefully moved aside the glass. he looked at the picture and his eyes started to tear up even more as he stared into the photo of him and brin smiling and hugging each other. he crushed the photo in his hand and tossed it on the floor, stomping out of the room and slamming the door.

"i, I needed to get away-"

"without any warning? i was worried about you for a month straight. i still am."

"you didn't seem worried about me when you forgot my birthday and cheated on me," brin said. she scooted back into her seat and crossed her legs, looking to her right, not wanting to face calum again.

"i was drunk-"

"that's your excuse?" she said whispering but spitting in his face. "you cheated on me because you were drunk? you forgot my birthday because you were drunk?" she whispered yelled in his face. calum looked at her, trying to find another thing to say but nothing came out because he knew she was right. he sighed and cowered back in his seat, staring out the window to his left. brin scoffed and placed in her headphones, grabbing her book from her carry on under her chair and started to read. but she couldn't focus. out the corner of her eye, she could see calum looking back at her every minute he tried to watch his movie. but she didn't care. she put her book away and turned up her music, falling asleep, hoping this plane would go faster.
