Temporary (Georg Listing Fanfic)

•4•

After a weekend filled with trial interviews to my family and Alan, I felt prepared for this interview. Don't get me wrong I  was still freaking out, but I felt more confident to ask.

I heard a text notification go off. I searched on my bed to find my phone, at the moment my bed was not pretty to see.

Alan:"Are you almost ready? I'm leaving the house right now, I'll be at your like in 20 mins"

I looked in my bags one more time, before deciding if I was ready or not. I didn't want to pack much because I knew I would end up not using half of it. It seemed like I had everything and I closed my bags, sitting down on my bed to answer back.

Tana: Yeah, I just finished, see you in a bit ok

I laid down on my bed, looking up at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and took a small nap before the hell of a flight. I thought about meeting the band, it was always such a nerve wrecking moment for me. I couldn't help being shy, but because of it made my job was so much harder.  I wasn't always so shy, it's just life events take a toll on a person. Amidst my thinking, for a quick second, my mind strayed to him. I hadn't thought about him in a good while, I had talked to him last week. He called to check up on me but things were different now. I think he was partially to blame for me being so shy and closed.

POP! POP! My phone went off breaking my train of thought.

Alan: "I'm at the corner be ready"

Alan: "I'll knock when I get there so I can help you with your bags ok"

I got up from my bed and double-checked to make sure I had everything. I grabbed my bags and headed for downstairs before I could even reach the bottom of the stairs I heard a loud knock. I jumped off the last stair and headed for the door, to find a sleepy Alan there.

"Hey, come on let's go. Mark has been bugging me that we need to be at the airport asap" he groaned walking inside to get my big bag.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, after endless rushing from Mark, we were able to get to the airport fast, but mainly because I'm pretty sure Alan broke some speed limit laws. Once we got there, we said a quick goodbye to Alan's brother who has accompanied us in order to take Alan's car. And with that, we literally ran to our terminal to get there on time. We were currently seated in our seats, waiting for the plane to take off. This is when all my scarred nerves that I had pushed aside this whole week, started coming back to me.

"Alan, I can't do it," I blurted out. Alan sighed, and shook his head at me giving me a small smile.

"Tan, I thought we were over this," he said simply. I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my hands. He was right we had concluded that I was ok with this. To be honest, I'm not even sure that I was nervous about the interview, but something else. What it was, I didn't know.

"It'll be fine Tana like I said it's just one interview, a photoshoot and then we come home, you don't even have to interact with them as much as I do," he lays his head back on the seat closing his eyes.

He was right but why did I have this feeling that it was more than that. I turned to him and opened my mouth to speak but I saw him asleep. I leaned back in my seat, and closed my eyes, at that moment the flight attendant announced we were taking off. I slowly felt myself falling asleep, but my nerves were still there.
